HCM Atom Feed Subscriber using SOA Cloud Service by Jack Desai

May 22, 2016 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002Introduction

HCM Atom feeds provide notifications of Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management (HCM) events and are tightly integrated with REST services. When an event occurs in Oracle Fusion HCM, the corresponding Atom feed is delivered automatically to the Atom server. The feed contains details of the REST resource on which the event occurred. Subscribers who consume these Atom feeds use the REST resources to retrieve additional information about the resource.

For more information on Atom, please refer to this.

This post focuses on consuming and processing HCM Atom feeds using Oracle Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Cloud Service. Oracle SOA Cloud Service provides a PaaS computing platform solution for running Oracle SOA Suite, Oracle Service Bus, and Oracle API Manager in the cloud. For more information on SOA Cloud Service, please refer this.

Oracle SOA is the industry’s most complete and unified application integration and SOA solution. It transforms complex application integration into agile and re-usable service-based connectivity to speed time to market, respond faster to business requirements, and lower costs.. SOA facilitates the development of enterprise applications as modular business web services that can be easily integrated and reused, creating a truly flexible, adaptable IT infrastructure.

For more information on getting started with Oracle SOA, please refer this. For developing SOA applications using SOA Suite, please refer this.

Main Article

Atom feeds enable you to keep track of any changes made to feed-enabled resources in Oracle HCM Cloud. For any updates that may be of interest for downstream applications, such as new hire, terminations, employee transfers and promotions, Oracle HCM Cloud publishes Atom feeds. Your application will be able to read these feeds and take appropriate action.

Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) allows software applications to subscribe to changes that occur on REST resources through published feeds. Updates are published when changes occur to feed-enabled resources in Oracle HCM Cloud. These are the following primary Atom feeds:

Employee Feeds

New hire
Termination
Employee update

Assignment creation, update, and end date

Work Structures Feeds (Creation, update, and end date)

Organizations
Jobs
Positions
Grades
Locations

The above feeds can be consumed programmatically. In this post, Node.js is implemented as one of the solutions consuming “Employee New Hire” feeds, but design and development is similar for all the supported objects in HCM. Read the complete article here.

Deploying to the SOA Cloud Service by Greg Draheim Overview

May 21, 2016 Leave a comment

 

clip_image001On Monday night we obtained access to the SOA Cloud Service here at Flexagon, where we hope to use it for on-demand capacity.  One of our goals with FlexDeploy is to make it easy to move components from one environment or instance to another, enabling a true “lift-and-shift” into the cloud.  Since the SOA Cloud Service is built on top of the same underlying Oracle infrastructure, configuring it as a FlexDeploy target is a breeze.

In this blog article, I will cover how to deploy a set of projects that are currently used on-premise into this new SOA Cloud Service.

Adding a SOA Cloud instance to FlexDeploy

To deploy our composites we had a few steps to complete:

· Added the required datasource and outbound connection pool entries

· Created the SOA partition we deploy to (“order”)

· Created customization and configuration plans for the new environment

· Added the new endpoint and instance to FlexDeploy

· Deployed the composites and OSB components into the SOA Cloud Service instance

The screen below is the configuration screen for the SOA Cloud instance in FlexDeploy. This one configuration page handles the instance specific configuration. 

Click image to enlarge.

As an interesting note, the instance of FlexDeploy above is running on the Java Cloud Service.

Executing the Deploy

I have a FlexDeploy application that contains 5 projects I plan to deploy:

· PackAndShipService (SOA Composite)

· ProcessOrder (SOA Composite)

· SBOrderEBS (OSB Project)

Blurr the cloud lining with NetSuite: Introducing NetSuite Cloud Adapter on Oracle Integration Cloud Service by Rajesh Kalra

May 20, 2016 Leave a comment

 

clip_image001NetSuite is a leading SaaS business software suite for ERP/financials, eCommerce, and order management. NetSuite cloud applications are commonly used by many mid-market and enterprise level companies, to streamline operations and provide real time visibility for better and faster decisions.

Oracle has introduced an all new NetSuite cloud adapter, in the latest release of its iPaaS –Integration Cloud Service (ICS). This new addition to the catalog of cloud adapters provides agility for NetSuite integrations, and enables organizations to access NetSuite content across business flows quickly and seamlessly.

The NetSuite cloud adapter provides rich and intuitive design time capabilities viz. functional categories of objects to select the business object(s) for integration, besides delivering the elevated user experience common to all cloud adapters.

Now Sales teams at any company can leverage the ICS iPaaS solution to build a lead-to-cash process from any SaaS based CRM (Oracle Sales Cloud or Salesforce.com) to NetSuite, creating quotes/orders in real time, thus eliminating manual order entry. They can access latest financial information, order status, or product availability via the NetSuite cloud adapter, and slash financial close. Read the complete article here.

Digital Innovation Demands Hybrid Integration by Carol Hildebrand

May 19, 2016 Leave a comment

 

clip_image002I thought cloud computing would do away with acronym-laden technologies such as service-oriented architecture (SOA). Can’t you just sign up for applications run in a public cloud?

You can, but what happens when you want to integrate that shiny new cloud app with your existing applications and data? That integration has its own term—hybrid cloud—and for most enterprises, it’s the new norm. More than 65% of enterprise IT organizations will commit to hybrid cloud technologies before 2016, according to International Data Corporation.

Meanwhile, everyone from marketing to HR to product development is screaming for better information flow between departments, and they don’t care where the apps reside. That also requires smooth integration of cloud and legacy applications and data, which, as you will see, leads us back to SOA. Read the complete article here.

In drei Schritten zur Onlinehypothek – Hypothekar-Antrags-Prozess auf der Cloud Prozessplattform von Oracle (Oracle PCS) by Richard Schaller

May 9, 2016 Leave a comment

imageIn drei Schritten erstellen wir einen einfachen Hypothekar-Antrags-Prozess auf der Cloud Prozessplattform von Oracle (Oracle PCS). Der Prozess kann direkt nach Erstellung auf dem Handy, Tablet oder Laptop genutzt werden.

Im letzten Teil der Blog-Serie wie die Prozessautomatisierung den Digitalisierungs-Initiativen zum Erfolg verhilft, setzen wir beispielhaft einen einfachen Hypothekar-Antrags-Prozess in drei Schritten um. Wir verwenden dazu die Cloud-Prozessplattform von Oracle.

Schritt 1: Formular erstellen

Das zentrale Element ist ein Formular, das die geschäftlichen Daten beinhaltet. Der Workflow (Prozess) verwendet das Formular vom Anfang bis zum Ende. Der Nutzer startet den Prozess indem er das Formular ausfüllt, Dokumente hinzufügt und versendet. Im Verlauf des Workflows wird das Formular vom Kunden und von Sachbearbeitern fortlaufend ergänzt. Der Arbeitsfluss wird von der Cloud-Plattform gesteuert.

Die Erstellung von Formularen ist intuitiv. Die einzelnen Elemente können bequem mittels «Drag und Drop» angeordnet werden. Die nachfolgende Abbildung zeigt die verfügbaren Formular-Elemente der Oracle Process Cloud (PCS).

Die Formular-Elemente werden ohne Programmierung individuell angepasst. Im Vordergrund steht die Konfiguration von Name, Tipp und Eingabeformat (Text, Datum, E-Mail, Zahl, Auswahl, etc.). Dank der Unterstützung für Mehrsprachigkeit wird das Formular dem Benutzer in seiner Sprache dargestellt. Die nachfolgende Abbildung zeigt ein mögliches Formular.

Schritt 2: Hypothekar-Antrags-Prozess konfigurieren

Der Prozess ist ein sogenannter Antragsprozess. Wir wählen deshalb die dafür vorbereitete Vorlage aus. Oracle PCS stellt eine Reihe von Prozess-/Workflow-Vorlagen zur Verfügung.

Oracle PCS erstellt einen einfachen Antragsprozess. Dieser sieht zu Beginn wie folgt aus:

Nun geht es darum, den einfachen Prozess an die eigenen Bedürfnisse anzupassen. In unserem Fall sind folgende Anpassungen erforderlich:

  • Das Formular aus Schritt 1 den einzelnen Prozessschritten (grüne Boxen) zuweisen
  • Dem Antragsprozess konkrete Benutzergruppen (Antragsteller, Sachbearbeiter, Manager) zuweisen.
