In this chapter, we have expanded on a use case in which Weir and Bell has employed OSR to expose services to trusted third party suppliers. Services are initially created in OER, which is used for all the aspects of design-time Governance including the enforcement of key policies and standards. Once the service is implemented and tested, it can be published to registries for consumption.

We have shown how to configure the connections between OER and OSR and demonstrated how to publish services using the Oracle Registry Repository Exchange Utility. We have also shown how to harvest deployed services using the harvester tool.

We also briefly introduced Oracle API Gateway and showed how services could be consumed from OSR in order to secure services and reduce the risk to Weir and Bell from denial of service attacks and XML bombs.

In the next chapter, we will discuss how to implement the basic runtime governance using the standard tools that ship with the Oracle SOA and Governance products. Runtime security and service monitoring are also introduced.
