20080244016 | Method and system for processing a message by a message provider - A method for processing a message by a message provider that includes receiving, for a topic, a mutual exclusion function from each application instance of a plurality of application instances, receiving the message for the topic, and sending the message to one application instance of the plurality of application instances based on executing each of the mutual exclusion functions, wherein the mutual exclusion functions ensure that the message is sent to a single application instance of the plurality of application instances. | 10-02-2008 |
20140074973 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ORCHESTRATION OF SERVICES FOR USE WITH A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A system and method for orchestration of services for use with a cloud computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a cloud platform enables provisioning of enterprise software applications within a cloud environment, including packaging enterprise applications as service definition packages (SDP), and instantiating the services using service management engines (SME). In an embodiment, an orchestration engine communicates with a plurality of SMEs to control the flow of service creation, provider dependency resolution, association of services and providers, and the life-cycle management of services within the cloud platform. | 03-13-2014 |
20140075019 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A SERVICE MANAGEMENT ENGINE FOR USE WITH A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A system and method for providing a service management engine for use with a cloud computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, enterprise software applications (e.g., Fusion Middleware applications) can be instantiated as services within a cloud platform, where they are then made accessible by other (e.g., customer) applications. In an embodiment, a service management engine (SME), in communication with an orchestration engine, can be used to provision services as one or more different service types, according to a service definition package (SDP). Service types can be instantiated according to the configuration of the cloud platform itself, and the contents of the SDP, including discovering, provisioning, and associating service types with system resources, to address different customer requirements. | 03-13-2014 |
20150120889 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A CLONE SERVICE FOR USE WITH A CLOUD PLATFORM ENVIRONMENT - In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing a clone a service in a cloud platform environment. The system can clone a source service within a service domain or across service domains, by creating a new service from a same service definition package used for creating the source service, extracting post-provision changes from the source service, e.g., user applications and post-provision configurations, and applying the changes to the new service. | 04-30-2015 |
20150120892 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTITENANT SERVICE MANAGEMENT ENGINE IN A CLOUD PLATFORM ENVIRONMENT - In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing multitenancy support in a platform as a service or cloud computing environment. A platform component enables a service runtime to be shared by multiple tenants, by providing each tenant with a dedicated share or slice of a runtime instance. Each share/slice can be isolated from other shares/slices with respect to factors such as, for example, configuration, or quality of service. In accordance with an embodiment, during provisioning of a particular service runtime, a runtime definition associated with the service runtime can be utilized, for example by a service management engine, to configure the platform component to install one or more services within the service runtime. A particular service and its service runtimes can also be provisioned, within one or more runtime pools, according to a service runtime definition and placement configuration. | 04-30-2015 |
20150120937 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PLACEMENT LOGIC IN A CLOUD PLATFORM ENVIRONMENT - In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing multitenancy support in a platform as a service or cloud computing environment. A platform component enables a service runtime to be shared by multiple tenants, by providing each tenant with a dedicated share or slice of a runtime instance. Each share/slice can be isolated from other shares/slices with respect to factors such as, for example, configuration, or quality of service. In accordance with an embodiment, during provisioning of a particular service runtime, a runtime definition associated with the service runtime can be utilized, for example by a service management engine, to configure the platform component to install one or more services within the service runtime. A particular service and its service runtimes can also be provisioned, within one or more runtime pools, according to a service runtime definition and placement configuration. | 04-30-2015 |
20150120938 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING MULTITENANCY IN A CLOUD PLATFORM ENVIRONMENT - In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing multitenancy support in a platform as a service or cloud computing environment. A platform component enables a service runtime to be shared by multiple tenants, by providing each tenant with a dedicated share or slice of a runtime instance. Each share/slice can be isolated from other shares/slices with respect to factors such as, for example, configuration, or quality of service. In accordance with an embodiment, during provisioning of a particular service runtime, a runtime definition associated with the service runtime can be utilized, for example by a service management engine, to configure the platform component to install one or more services within the service runtime. A particular service and its service runtimes can also be provisioned, within one or more runtime pools, according to a service runtime definition and placement configuration. | 04-30-2015 |
20150120939 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING SERVICE RESOURCES AND FEATURE SETS IN A CLOUD PLATFORM ENVIRONMENT - In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing service resources for consumption by an application deployed to a service in a cloud environment. A service definition package (SDP) for the service can specify a dependency on a provider, and include association rules that define actions to be taken with regard to a runtime of the provider. When the service is provisioned, a service resource type which is derived from a provider SDP can be associated with the service. As a result of the association, a service resource can be automatically created from the service resource type in accordance with the association rules, to provide resources for consumption by the application. In accordance with an embodiment, the provider SDP can include a plurality of feature sets associated with different sets of configurable properties, which allows different provider types or service resource types to be created. | 04-30-2015 |
