“…The use of the coordination framework should not be restricted to transaction processing systems; a wide variety of protocols should be defined for distributed applications. As show in Figure 1, we will extend the work of Sauter and Melzer [4] and add ESB as mid-layer that defines the additional interface to bridge these protocols. So we can integrate various heterogeneous service with transaction supported into BPEL in SOA environment.…”

Transactions are a necessary part of nearly all business interactions. Transactions exist to ensure that all parts of a particular business operation are properly recorded; if any single part fails, then the transaction as a whole should fail in order to maintain data consistency. In order for businesses to gain full value from a service-oriented approach, service developers must understand the mechanism of transaction management, including resource recruitment, business function coordination, concurrency control, and recovery. This paper analyses the requirement of business transaction process in Heterogeneous Service composition in SOA environment, designs and implements a prototype system to supported Heterogeneous services in distributed scopes which composed of a business activities in SOA environment.

“…The work by Sauter and Melzer [4] focuses on a comparison of WS-Business Activity and BPEL with respect to long-running transactions. They show the differences as well as the similarities between these standards and discuss that they are not contradicting approaches as sometimes argued.…”

“…Therefore, before achieving an orchestration, the parties involved should already have agreed to participate in the interaction. For more details about how BPEL relates to other protocols we refer the reader to [Sauter and Melzer 2005;Kopp et al 2009] and to [Van Der Aalst et al 2003;van den Heuvel 2008] for surveys about business process specification.…”

As computer systems continue to grow in complexity, the possibilities of failure increase. At the same time, the increase in computer system pervasiveness in day-to-day activities brought along increased expectations on their reliability. This has led to the need for effective and automatic error recovery techniques to resolve failures. Transactions enable the handling of failure propagation over concurrent systems due to dependencies, restoring the system to the point before the failure occurred. However, in various settings, especially when interacting with the real world, reversal is not possible. The notion of compensations has been long advocated as a way of addressing this issue, through the specification of activities which can be executed to undo partial transactions. Still, there is no accepted standard theory; the literature offers a plethora of distinct formalisms and approaches.In this survey, we review the compensations from a theoretical point of view by: (i) giving a historic account of the evolution of compensating transactions; (ii) delineating and describing a number of design options involved; (iii) presenting a number of formalisms found in the literature, exposing similarities and differences; (iv) comparing formal notions of compensation correctness; (v) giving insights regarding the application of compensations in practice; and (vi) discussing current and future research trends in the area.

“…Other research involving the standards discussed in this thesis includes [13], who compare WS-BA with the long-running transactions support of Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) and propose a modified compensation concept in WS-BPEL, deprecating WS-BA altogether-unlike this paper, which is focused on the applicability of already existing WS-BA implementations in relevant scenarios, not necessarily their deprecation.…”

In traditional database-driven applications, transactional integrity is a well-established concept. In order to apply these techniques to SOA-based applications, along with the capability to perform long-running business activities, the WS-BusinessActivity standard was developed. This standard does not specifically address cross-organizational use, however, when an enterprise decides to integrate its SOA-based system with their business partners' services, the ability to span long-running business activities across organizational boundaries becomes crucial. This paper describes an experiment performed to assess the suitability of WS-BusinessActivity for cross-organizational use and identifies several strengths and weaknesses that became apparent during its execution.
