The Approach: Service Oriented Architecture

SOA is essential but missing business semantics

Lifecycle of SOA-based Applications SAPs Approach

Governance along all phases of the lifecycle
Enterprise Architects
Analyze business requirements Discover available enterprise services in ESR for reuse Gap analysis

Providers
Design and model services Implement new business logic Create new services reusing existing assets and publish to SR
Model & Build Manage & Optimize

Analyze & Discover

Administrators
Manage change Security Monitor service execution (e.g. performance, availability, process progress, events)

Integrate & Deploy

Compose & Orchestrate

Consumers
Compose views by reusing implemented services and BOs Compose and orchestrate services and views to form new business process Test and validate

Administrators
Package and deploy application Configure runtime (adapt to IT landscape)

Enterprise Services Repository is ...

the central repository where service interfaces

and enterprise services are modeled and their metadata is stored.

ES Repository - The metadata repository of all service objects for enterprise SOA Services Registry - UDDI V3 compliant registry that supports publishing, classifying and discovering services

Services Registry

SAP 2008 / Enterprise SOA for the SAP Business Suite InfoDays 2008 / Page 6,

Key Usage Scenarios

Process Visibility and Design Governance Focus: Process Component architecture models in ES Repository, Drill down to standards based service interface design Value: Enable SOA Governance Benefit: Transparency into Business Semantics, Contextualization of Service metadata, Easy access to Enterprise services & gap analysis.

Service Provisioning Focus: Model Service Interface based on GDTs, Provide Service Metadata, Seamless Tool integration Value: Manage service metadata in one central repository Benefit: Enable reuse of design time artifacts, End to end modeling support, Governed definition of SOA assets.

Process Integration Focus: Use services defined in ES Repository for consumption in A2A and B2B scenarios Value: Enable integration in heterogeneous landscape Benefit: Collaboration knowledge of non-SAP systems, Support for defining Integration Scenarios

Composition Focus: Composition tools query RepositoryRegistry to discover services Value: Composite Application Development Benefit: Contract first development process, Easy discovery, consumption & composition.

Summary - Key Benefits and Value Proposition

Enables the governed definition of SOA assets with contract first development process and end to end modeling support. Provides transparency into the business semantics exposed via enterprise services, for designers and developers. Provides out-of-the-box SOA business content built on SAP modeling principles and support for asset reuse to jumpstart your SOA implementation. Provides a single source of truth though openness & interoperability within a heterogeneous landscape. Enables higher developer productivity through model-driven architecture using an integrated toolset for defining, provisioning, and consumption of enterprise services. Supports a comprehensive software lifecycle management across the entire enterprise service lifecycle to reduce TCO Enables discovery of SOA assets to build, modify, and run innovative and flexible composite applications & Business processes.
