Oracle Blockchain Service Quick Start Guide

image

Hyperledger Fabric empowers enterprises to scale out in an unprecedented way, allowing organizations to build and manage blockchain business networks. This quick start guide systematically takes you through distributed ledger technology, blockchain, and Hyperledger Fabric while also helping you understand the significance of Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS).

The book starts by explaining the blockchain and Hyperledger Fabric architectures. You’ll then get to grips with the comprehensive five-step design strategy – explore, engage, experiment, experience, and influence. Next, you’ll cover permissioned distributed autonomous organizations (pDAOs), along with the equation to quantify a blockchain solution for a given use case. As you progress, you’ll learn how to model your blockchain business network by defining its assets, participants, transactions, and permissions with the help of examples. In the concluding chapters, you’ll build on your knowledge as you explore Oracle Blockchain Platform (OBP) in depth and learn how to translate network topology on OBP.

By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with OBP and have developed the skills required for infrastructure setup, access control, adding chaincode to a business network, and exposing chaincode to a DApp using REST configuration. Get the book here. For additional books please see the community wiki here.

Jarvis Pizzeria blog refresh part 1 of 3 by Marcel van de Glind

image

In this blog I do a quick refresh of the first 13 Jarvis Pizzeria blog posts (note: the different headers in this blog contain a link to the actual blog).

1. An Introduction to Jarvis Pizzeria!

This is the introduction to the blog series in which the original team is introduced and the scope of the blogs is indicated.

As stated before (Jarvis Pizzeria is back again), the scope has been extended from PCS only to the entire OIC. But this refresh is only about PCS (because that was the former scope). So also the solutions that we describe that we would do differently nowaday with the complete OIC toolbox. ICS and VBCS will be added more and more visibly over time in new posts.

2. Collaborate in PCS

The purpose of this blog is to find out the team collaboration capabilities of PCS. In this field nothing has really changed in itself during the last year. I think that this already works fine, so changes are not really necessary.

In the initial blog we states the following:

“It looks like the saved, but not yet published, changes within the application are automatically published, since we verified that the user taking over the lock directly sees those changes. But this might not be the desired behaviour.”

I assume that this behavior was an error, that has been resolved as a recent test has shown.

3. Integration in PCS

In this blog we demonstrated the creation and use of both a SOAP and a REST service in PCS (not yet in ICS, that will certainly be shown in a new blog later on).

4. Setting up the Jarvis 1.0 process

The purpose of the blog is to try out / demonstrate the various options for starting a process. In the structured process we start the 3 pizzeria sub-processes in different ways. Read the complete article here.

OIC: How to Force Dehydration in Processes by Jan Kettenis

image

This article describes a trick how you can force a Structured Process instance in OIC to dehydrate.

OIC Process uses the database to store its state, which is called dehydration. In contrast, restoring that state from the database is called hydration. Dehydration automatically happens at points where the process may have to wait for a ‘longer’ period of time, for example at a Receive or User activity, or a Timer Catch event. Dehydration is also the point where the transaction of the process instance ends (and a new one starts).

Sometimes you may want to force dehydration. For example, you may have a Structured Process for which the operation to start it should synchronously return some value, while the process performs several other steps before it reaches the first dehydration point, and the transaction ends. The out-of-the-box behavior will be that the start operation will not return a response before it has ended the transaction, which may imply that the consumer has to wait for a relative long time

In the following process model some business data is stored synchronously, and then some other process is started synchronously, making that the transaction does not end before it has reached the End event: Read the complete article here.

Jarvis Pizzeria is back again by Marcel van de Glind

image

Jarvis Pizzeria is back after closing their doors for more than a year ago by now.

Because the OIC projects were not up for grabs in recent years, and it has not been easy to join one of those scarce projects, Jarvis Pizzeria had closed its doors in June 2018, it now appears to be temporary. In the meantime the entire Jarvis team went its own way, with everyone facing new challenges.

Recently OIC projects start to pop-up on several places in the Netherlands. in June 2019 I started working as an OIC developer on one of these projects, a large / prestigious project. The direct consequence of this is that Jarvis Pizzeria has also reopened its doors. After two months of preparation, this is the first blog in a new series of Jarvis Pizzeria blogs.

But things have changed compared to 2018:

  • The scope of Jarvis has been broadened. The focus was initially on PCS, now it is on OIC (so including ICS and VBCS).
  • Of the original founders I am now the only one left (@Richard Olrichs and @Marc Kuipers, thanks again for all the contributions and the pleasant cooperation).
  • Although I regret that Marc and Richard have left the Jarvis company, I am also very pleased to announce that there will also be a new face at Jarvis. The following paragraph has been specially set aside to introduce him.
  • In the past we all posted the same blog on our own company blog. In the future we will do something else. The full blog will be posted on one of our two company blogs and on the other’s company blog a summary of the blog will be posted with a reference to the full post.

So let me introduce the new OIC champion of Jarvis Pizzeria. Read the complete article here.

Free on-demand Webinar: Harness the Power of CI/CD for Oracle Integration and API Cloud by Dan Goerdt

image

Eliminate the tedious manual processes of OIC and API.

Oracle Integration Cloud and API Platform are key to quickly and seamlessly integrate data, applications, and services. OIC and API management is essential to become effective and efficient during your digital transformation process.

However, OIC and API cloud services are not able to operate in full CI/CD themselves. Deploying integrations and APIs is a manual process, which means extra time, additional manpower, and management nightmares.

In this webinar, you will learn how FlexDeploy can eliminate these manual steps and reduce costs and risk by:

  • Automating the deployment of API and Gateway artifacts
  • Automating OIC Integrations, Connections, Lookups, and Libraries
  • Adopting Continuous Integration (CI) and release pipelines
  • Integrating tools like Git, SVN, Jira, SoapUI, and ServiceNow
  • Watch the on-demand webcast here.

Oracle SOA Suite on Kubernetes by Michel Schildmeijer

image

In the previous posts I wrote about how to transform a traditional application server such as WebLogic into a containerized platform, based on Docker containers managed by a Kubernetes Cluster. The basics are that there hasn’t been any effort yet in looking how a huge and complex environment such as Oracle SOA Suite could fit into a container based strategy, but it’s more or less lift and shift the current platform to run as Kubernetes managed containers.

There are ways to run a product such as Oracle SOA Suite in Kubernetes, here’s the way I did this.

Oracle SOA Suite on OKE

Other that the standard PaaS service Oracle provides, the SOA Cloud service, this implementation I did is based on IaaS, on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, where I configured this Kubernetes Cluster as I described in previous posts. However this also can be done on an on premises infrastructure.

Ingredients

The following parts are involved to set up a SOA Suite domain based on the version 12.2.1.3:

  • Docker Engine
  • Kubernetes base setup
  • Oracle Database Image
  • Oracle SOA Suite docker image ( either self build or from Oracle Container Registry
  • Github
  • A lot of patience

Set up the SOA Suite repository

A SOA Suite installation requires a repository which can be Oracle or some other flavours, to dehydrate SOA instance data and store metadata from composite deployments. I used a separate namespace to setup a database in Kubernetes. The database I created uses the image container-registry.oracle.com/database/enterprise:12.1.0.2, so I used the database yaml I obtained, where I had to add an ephemeral storage because after the first time of deploy I got this message in Kubernetes about exhausted ephemeral storage, so I solved it with this.

Bulk Recovery of Fault Instances by Viswanatha Basavalingappa

image

One of the most common requirements of enterprise integration is error management. It is critical for customers to manage recoverable errors in a seamless and automated fashion.

What are Recoverable Fault Errors?

All faulted instances in asynchronous flows in Oracle Integration Cloud Service are recoverable and can be resubmitted. Synchronous flows cannot be resubmitted. You can resubmit errors in the following ways:

  • Single failed message resubmissions
  • Bulk failed message resubmissions

Today operator can manually resubmit failed messages individually from the integration console monitor dashboard. In this blog we are going to focus on how to create an integration flow that can be used to auto resubmit faulted instances in bulk. Here are the High Level Steps Here are the steps to create an integration flow to implement the automated bulk recovery of errors. Note we also provide a sample that is available for download.

STEP 1: Create New Scheduled Orchestration Flow Read the complete article here.
