Agenda


Cardinal Health’s Strategy to Composites

Business Scenario Description

Customization Approach When possible pull customization out of the SAP Business Suite

Business analyst driven approach

Keeps application upgrades clean

Edge Process and Process Transformation

Align Cardinal Health’s business process map with SAP and fill in the white space where appropriate with Composites

User Productivity Screen pops from multiple systems

Aggregate of key information

Executive dash boarding

Retirement Strategy Reduce and simplify the technology footprint and maintenance costs

ROI driven

Align with business transformation


Composite Hosting Landscape

Key Benefits

Five instance environment running SP 5

All environments are virtualized

Shared enterprise SQL Server cluster

Federated to primary SAP portal

Interface to IBM Content Manager for document attachment and storage

Reduced infrastructure complexity and cost


CAR Composite Logical Architecture

Key Components

User Interface (UI) -16 Web Dynpro Java views

Business Logic Layer/Services – 9 services

Guided Procedure (GP) Tool Framework – 9 processes

Federated portal network


Organizing for Success

User Interface Team

Services Team

Backend Team

Guided Procedures Team


CAR Service in CAR Composite

Service Layer Benefits

Easy integration with SQL Server (dictionary projects, business objects (BO), Java Persistence API)

All the benefits of EJB (transactions, scalability, etc)

Tight integration with Guided Procedures and User Interface

Allows developer to clearly divide and organize functional areas

Productivity is increased with wizards which generate function prototypes, return types and WSDL for developers


CAR Composite Application


Key Learning's

User Interface:Unstable data modeler – corrected with patch for NWDSCorrupted projects unable to retrieve back to working state

Services:Place all utility functions in a separate utility service to separate from the business logic.Consolidation of multiple service calls into a single call to simplify the design and increase performance.

Without strict governance and clarity on service interfaces, the service can turn into a giant Java application

Guided Procedures:Make the process as simple as possible.Make sure complex business logic is embedded in service layer while GP is confined to controlling the business flow of the system.Try to make fewer calls to external application’s (Use composite service that will encapsulate fine grained services).Maintenance and Reusability: Modularize the process.

Overall:Keep up with the latest Support Packs since the technology is new.

Agenda


Summary: SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment 7.1

Provides the scalable, reliable, and productive enterprise SOA infrastructure to build, modify, and run innovative and flexiblecomposite applications

Builds on the industry standard development environment from Eclipse and integrates composition tools

Enables standard enterprise services development and provisioning using Java EE 5 (EJB 3.0) and web services standards

Reduces time-to-value and development efforts through model-driven composition using an integrated set of modeling tools for services, views, and processes

Facilitates out-of-the-box enterprise services and SOA asset reuse with the Enterprise Services Repository (ESR)

Provides a comprehensive software lifecycle management across entire composition stack to reduce TCO
