Selecting which iPaaS Product(s) to use – ICS Definitive Tip #4 by Phil Wilkins

January 6, 2018 Leave a comment

image

In the last few years Oracle’s iPaaS offerings have progressed significantly from one or two solutions such as Mobile Cloud Service to in excess of 35 offerings. This makes it challenging to decide which product(s) to use. The means for selection depends upon a range of factors including:

  • Most suitable licensing model (ICS provides a lower cost of entry than SOA CS as you’re paying by message volumes)
  • Development skills and desire to resilience or invest in people (SOA on-premises to SOA CS is easier than a technology change such as ICS)
  • The amount of control you have in an environment – JCS offers more control than ACCS for example

This is in addition the technical features that the different products offer. In terms of capability, Oracle iPaaS products can overlap, but better than having gaps. Not only is there overlap, you can achieve the same results with one or more products. Obviously, the permutation that provides the least amount of overlap is likely  to provide the best value in terms of investment.  To help see and understand this we have in the past used a visualisation such as the one shown below which helps evaluate these considerations.

It is worth saying that this visualisation has been subjectively constructed, and as products evolve over time it is only true for a limited period of time. Never the less it is helpful in reviewing options, and explaining product recommendations. Read the complete article here.

API Management and Microservices, a Match Made in Heaven

January 5, 2018 Leave a comment

image

It’s not news anymore that Microservices architecture is changing the way systems are designed and built, however what’s rarely discussed in detail is how the APIs exposed by those Microservices are managed and accessed from other systems or even other Microservices and more importantly how those APIs are discovered and consumed by a community of developers when building solutions. In this presentation Capgemini’s PaaS experts Phil and Luis will explain in detail how Microservices Architecture and API Management relate to each other. To do this reference architectures, capability models and architectural patterns will be described and then it will be shown -with practical examples, how to implement modern solutions in the Oracle Cloud. Watch the video here.

When Creating APIs, Focus your API Gateway on What it Does Best by Robert Wunderlich

January 4, 2018 Leave a comment

When talking with customers and prospects, I often hear about two requirements; converting REST to SOAP or SOAP to REST and Caching of data for performance.

These are great opportunities for an API Gateway, but should be used with extreme caution. Misuse of either of these features can cause performance problems in your gateway or even worse, putting your sensitive data at risk!

Using an Integration Platform with an API Platform provides the opportunity to follow some best-practice approaches to data isolation as well as scaling of certain heavy-weight operations. Furthermore, by separating these concerns, sensitive data is better protected

First, let’s look at the key purposes of an API Platform and an Integration Platform. The API Platform is responsible for the following: Read the complete article here.

PCS Correlation and PCS calling ICS by Niall Commiskey

December 28, 2017 Leave a comment

image

Nice new feature in PCS. from the docs…

Correlations enable business processes to communicate with each other based on the state of an instance. The state of all the process data objects in a process defines the state of the instance.

When you define a correlation for a business process, you can identify an instance in another process based on the instance state and then send a message to that specific instance.

For example, you can use correlations to communicate a sales process with the corresponding shipping and mailing processes. When the customer confirms an order, the shipping process sends a message to the shipping and mailing processes using a correlation that defines that it uses the order ID to locate the instances in both processes.

Instance Archiving and Purging in Oracle Process Cloud Service by Antonis Antoniou

December 27, 2017 Leave a comment

Archiving and purging your process instances systematically can improve drastically the performance of your processes. This task has been simplified in Oracle Process Cloud Service that gives you the option to run archives on demand or automate this task via scheduled jobs.

All archived instances (data) are stored in the Oracle Cloud Storage Service that is bundled with your Oracle Process Cloud Service. Archived instances are compressed in a zip file and once an archive task is processed, you will receive an email that will contain the link to the zip file that you can click on it to download the archived instances.

Purge will remove the BPM runtime information. Purge runs as a separate job and runs directly on the database. So when you configure archiving and purging, then two separate jobs will be executed independently of each other. So let’s see how you can schedule instance archiving and purging.

Configuring instance archiving and purging is an administrative task, therefore from the Oracle Process Cloud Service home page click on the “Configure” banner to go to the application settings. Read the complete article here.
