ICS to API Platform by John Graves

October 30, 2017 Leave a comment

I’ve been using the API Platform and Integration Cloud Service (ICS) for some time now.  Independently, they are powerful products but together they are even better.

Initially, most ICS use cases were SaaS to SaaS or an extension to an existing SaaS.  But more and more I’m seeing people use ICS in place of a standard service bus to do basic validation, enrichment, transformation and routing.

But how do you expose these ICS services using standard API methods?  Well, it isn’t too difficult to go into API Platform and define an API to point to the ICS service, but this could be quite tedious.

Luckily, all the Oracle products have an “API first” strategy, so it wasn’t too difficult to setup an ICS flow to automatically publish new services into the API Platform.

I decided to use a scheduler ICS flow to periodically look for new services and publish them to the API Platform.

The first thing to do was to get information about the ICS services.  This was easy using the API: Read the complete article here.

ADF Autogeneration from Oracle BPM Human Tasks by Dan Atwood

October 12, 2017 Leave a comment

imageSomething we typically have to learn on our own is how to (1) auto-generate an ADF form and project from an Oracle BPM project and (2) how to reuse the ADF project when subsequently generating more ADF forms.

This has changed slightly in 12.2.1, and this provides step-by-step instructions on how to do this.  This is an excerpt from Lesson 3 of AVIO’s new Oracle BPM Developer Training for 12.2.1.

Create an ADF Project and Form from a Human Task

Because human tasks in Oracle BPM projects are associated with the interactive activities, ADF forms can be automatically generated from the information flowing into and out of the human  tasks.

1. Inside the Applications tab, expand the SOA folder -> expand the Human Tasks folder. 
2. Double click ApproveCandidate.task.

3. As shown below, click the Form dropdown -> Launch Task Form Wizard. Read the complete article here.

Actionable Email Templates in Oracle Process Cloud Service by Antonis Antoniou

October 11, 2017 Leave a comment

image

Oracle Process Cloud Service provides you with a very convenient and easy way to configure notifications for your human tasks though the use of email notification templates.
These notification templates are defined using HTML and can include a variety of information such as payload data, task data, you can include links to perform an action on a task directly within the email and task comments. Furthermore a notification template can be re-used across your application processes.
So let’s see in practice how you can create and use an email notification template.
Create a new application in Oracle Process Cloud Service, give it a name and file it under a space (I’ve named it "Email Templates Demo Application" under a custom space called "aantoniou"). Read the complete article here.

PCS Web Form Tips and Tricks – Part 1 by Derek Kam

October 10, 2017 Leave a comment

image

 

In this blog series, I will be discussing some useful tips and tricks that will be helpful to you when you are designing your form using the new PCS web form controls and events.

In one of my colleague’s blog, he has highlighted some of the features available in PCS web form.  In PCS official documentation, it described how to configure the controls.  In this blog, I will highlight some tips and tricks when you are designing the form.  There will be 3 parts in this blog series:

General Tips and Tricks

  • Before you start designing your form, I would strongly recommend you work with business users to define the requirement like form styles for different devices, form rules/events, data definition/business objects, and identify all integration requirement in the web form.
  • Document your web form design and events.
  • PCS Web Form allows you to drag existing business object to create a web form. However, it will create a standard layout that might not meet your requirement and you might end up spending more time rearranging the controls that PCS Form created for you.   In this scenario, you have an option to create our own form data definition using the business object and bind the controls to the data definition manually.
  • In PCS, the main form can contain 1 or more sub form. However, you will not be able to access the data definition in the sub form using event in the main form. If you have a requirement that you need to access the sub form data definition, you will need to detach the sub form in the main form. Read the complete article here.
