Hi,
I added one more credential to my profile portfolio,this time it is my this year favourite concept Oracle SOA 11g.I've completed Oracle SOA suite 11g foundation practitioner certificate last Saturday.Now,I'm Oracle SOA certified expert.Working on the competency servers and giving tech talk on Oracle SOA in my organization were key factors which helped me achieving this credentials.
In addition to this I installed and configured Oracle SOA suite 11g(version 11.1.0.5.0) in my personal laptop also which is having Windows 7 Operating system helped me a lot.

I passed my Oracle SOA Foundation Practitioner Certification by following below tips:

Practise needed:
Practise On Developing and Deploying composite application by starting with basic Hello BPEL task can be very much useful,We need to be aware of each and every service components like their functioning and usage.Work with Adapters and Integration practises will also comes handy.For getting Started with Oracle SOA below link helped lot:

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/integration.1111/e10223/toc.htm

Once this is done you can develop and deploy various composite application for your practise which will be advantageous.

After clearing my concepts I went with installing and Configuring Oracle Suite 11g on Windows and Linux Operating systems which led the foundation of my SOA learning.
For installation and Configuration refer my below links:
