High level steps to configure SSL in API CS physical Gateway

  1. Create Java KeyStore (JKS) and generate key
  2. Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
  3. Send the CSR file to CA to issue the certificate
  4. Import Certificates (Root, Intermediate(if any) & Server)
  5. Import API CS Certificate into Keystore
  6. Configure SSL in WebLogic Server
    • Change KeyStore type in WebLogic Server
    • Specify path of Identity KeyStore and Trust KeyStore
    • Specify Private Key Alias in WebLogic Server
    • Enable SSL in WebLogic Server
  7. Update Hostname Verification property
  8. Update the https URL of Gateway in API CS management console
  9. Import backend Services certificate into Keystore (if backend service is https enabled)
  10. Test API

Create Java KeyStore (JKS) and generate key

Keytool utility is a Key and Certificate Management Tool and is available in $JAVA_HOME/bin. Before we start, set JAVA_HOME and PATH variables. Use below two command to set JAVA_HOME and PATH variables. Read the complete article here.

Vibrant and Growing: The Current State of API Management by Bob Rhubart

April 3, 2019 Leave a comment

"Vibrant and growing all the time!" That’s how Andrew Bell, Oracle PaaS API Management Architect at Capgemini, describes the current state of API management. "APIs are the doors to organizations, the means by which organizations connect to one another, connect their processes to one another, and streamline those processes to meet customer needs. The API environment is growing rapidly as we speak," Bell says.

"API management today is quite crucial," says Bell’s Capgemini colleague Sander Rensen, an Oracle PaaS lead and architect, "especially for clients who want to go on a journey of a digital transformation. For our clients, the ability to quickly find APIs and subscribe to them is a very crucial part of digital transformation. Listen to the podcast here & visit the books wiki here.

Cloud complexity – the new innovation killer

Migrating core business applications to the cloud is the future for organizations of all sizes and across industries. However, knowing where you are going is not the same as knowing how best to get there. There is no cookie-cutter template for cloud migration. It is a highly-complex process that should not be embarked upon lightly.

Yet, the truth is many (probably most) organizations rushed into the cloud pell-mell with ‘shadow IT’ initiatives, where line-of-business leaders provisioned point solutions from external cloud providers without support from IT. While the upside of this practice is speed, and in some cases ‘islands of efficiency,’ the downside includes potential security breaches, data-governance issues and runaway complexity with multiple cloud services (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) spanning all delivery models (public, private, hybrid). Read the complete article here.

· Oracle: The Complete Cloud Portfolio Larger customers are looking for end-to-end cloud solutions, not just the applications themselves, says Certus Solutions’ Debra Lilley. What’s driving that decision?

· Artificial Intelligence That Makes Cities Smarter A new consortium is researching how cities can consolidate image data from multiple departments in a data lake so that AI-powered applications can spot problems such as uncollected trash or graffiti that needs scrubbing. And Oracle Cloud is supporting that work.

· Practical AI  Technologists are increasingly thinking about how artificial intelligence might help them, so Oracle is emphasizing features it calls “practical AI.” This is when AI is embedded into cloud-based apps to speed business tasks, such as in recruiting, sales, and finance. Features powered by AI could include resume-sifting algorithms, automated recommended actions for sales staff, and the ability to negotiate payment discounts with suppliers based on their financial health. The AI-enabled applications Oracle will roll out this summer provide “aid in the moment when you need it,” says Jack Berkowitz, Oracle vice president for products and data science.

Demystifying Blockchain and Consensus Mechanisms – Everything You Wanted to Know But Were Never Told by Andre Boaventura

March 28, 2019 Leave a comment

image

It is likely that you’ve heard so far, many descriptions of what blockchain is, and that description probably is related somehow with money. Of course, this is not happening by chance, but actually due to many popular technologies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple and many others currently available in the cryptocurrency marketplace, which have this solution based on DLT(Distributed Ledger Technology), as their core implementation foundation, which is the basis for trading cryptocurrencies and other assets through public & private markets. However, Blockchain technology goes much further than just cryptocurrencies. Today, blockchain is already adopted as part of many everyday B2B transactions, including those powered by enterprise applications such as ERPs, Supply Chain, Financial Services, Healthcare systems, etc, and the list is much longer than this one.

The Blockchain is an undeniably ingenious invention – the brainchild of a person or group of people known by the pseudonym, Satoshi Nakamoto. But since then, it has evolved into something greater, and the main question every single person is asking is: What is Blockchain?

By definition, Blockchain is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each block typically contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp and transaction data. By design, a blockchain is inherently resistant to modification of the data. It is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way". For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks, which requires collusion of the network majority.

Generally speaking, a blockchain network is a system for maintaining distributed ledgers or facts and the history of the ledgers’ updates. This approach allows organizations that don’t fully trust each other to agree on the updates submitted to a shared ledger by using peer-to-peer protocols rather than a central third party or manual offline reconciliation process. Blockchain enables real-time transactions and securely shares tamper-proof data across a trusted business network. Read the complete article here.

What’s New in Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring by: Harish Gaur

March 25, 2019 Leave a comment

image

At Oracle IoT Cloud, we pride ourselves on delivering product innovations at a fast pace. In fact, we release new capabilities monthly.  Here’s what’s been developed in Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud over the past 3 months (Q4 of Oracle FY18). We’ve added features across three key innovation vectors.

1. Digital Thread
IoT Apps enable frictionless hand-off of data across different stages of the supply chain — beginning with design & production and including transportation and field use.

We have also integrated IoT Apps with Oracle Engagement Cloud. Why is this important? Engagement Cloud provides a seamless service management interface that allows organizations to capture and track service requests, collaborate between sales and service, and follow-up with customers efficiently.  Customers electronically monitor connected assets for potential faults and issues and automatically create a service request in Engagement Cloud for proactive follow up by customer service teams. A dispatched agent is then able to review diagnostic data from the device directly from the service request page. This integration is two way, so when the service request is closed, the IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud will know about it immediately.

Integrations with Service Cloud, Maintenance Cloud, Application Builder Cloud Service have been released in the past.

2. Digital Twin
Digital Twinning can provide exceptional value to enterprises. By acting as proxy to the physical (& capital-intensive) equipment, digital twins offer complete insight into equipment performance.

  • Customers can now choose what sensor data they wish to visualize from a connected asset. The attributes that are chosen, from the ones available in the device model, are made available for the assets in Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud. Sensor data could either be coming from a connected physical asset or from its digital twin
  • Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service now integrates with third-party map provider HERE maps. Read the complete article here.
