Abstract :  Detailed scope of GDPR and necessary preparations to be undertaken are at this moment are areas where enterprises lack knowledge, especially in area of data management, and data and application services governance. In this session we will reveal the list of such activities and projects, their order and their reference architecture : setting up dynamic platform for automatic finding, deleting or reporting GDPR records and data, creating single GDPR view of customer, Identification and management of data flows, loading into a catalogue and classifying metadata about identified data elements relevant for GDPR, tracing data flows with data elements and provide answers about which exact data element are used in which business process, building glossary of sensitive data, establishing control with policies and rules, with workflow to monitor data proliferation, extend capabilities of existing applications by modelling process interactions, with other applications or user-channels.

Oracle Integration platform tools such are Oracle Enterprise Metadata Manager(OEMM), Oracle Enterprise Data Quality(OEDQ), Oracle Data Integrator(ODI), Oracle Service Oriented Architecture(OSOA), Oracle API Platform(APIPCS), Oracle Business Process Management (OBPM) and their associated cloud services, can help to accelerate the GDPR’s preventive and detective controls.

3 points that the audience can expect to take away from this session :

1-There is coherent & extensive list of activities & projects that can help GDPR compliance within the scope of governance of data & application services

2-Oracle Unified Integration platform includes tools which features can be efficiently used for these activities

3-GDPR is an opportunity to achieve commercial long-term benefits, if it evolves into a broader efforts. Governance, integration and data management projects are example.

Innovation Disruptors Come and Go – Only Oracle Integration & API Cloud Lead the Way! By Vikas Anand

July 14, 2018 Leave a comment

image

With Oracle OpenWorld 2017 in the rearview mirror, I find myself just now catching my breath. This year was FANTASTIC! We had a chance to showcase our newest, coolest capabilities across Oracle Integration Cloud, Robotic Process Automation and API Design and Management, but it was our customers and partners that made integration come to life through their digital transformation stories. They shared how they are leading the way positioning integration, process automation, and API-first strategy at the heart of their tech roadmap.

It has been an incredible year for Oracle iPaaS, as we were recognized by industry experts in the Gartner Enterprise iPaaS Magic Quadrant and Forrester Wave reports, with the acquisition of Apiary and the launch of the API Platform Cloud Service. At the same time we focused on continuous improvement of  our portfolio i.e adding 100+ adapters and Visual Builder Cloud to our portfolio. 

We talk a lot about innovation around here, and with good reason. We want to keep pushing forward not just for ourselves, but for the benefit of our customers and partners. We have all heard that “competition breeds innovation” but I believe “innovation breeds innovation.” I have seen this happen not only with my team but as I meet with customers, and in turn, they interact with each other and our partners. If there is anything that I have come away with from the past few months, it is that integration is more important than it has ever been. As organizations embrace new Chatbots, Blockchain, AI and ML capabilities, one thing remains constant: the best way to move to the cloud is to leverage best-in-class SaaS, but what makes all of those initiatives work flawlessly is killer integration, process automation and API-first lifecycle management.

Oracle’s integration-centric PaaS portfolio is flourishing as a unified hybrid integration platform – an Ovum report

July 11, 2018 Leave a comment

image

 

Oracle OpenWorld 2017 provided a good opportunity to gain insight into the level of success of Oracle’s integration-centric PaaS portfolio in a competitive middleware-as-a-service (MWaaS) market. It is evident that within a period of just three years, Oracle has achieved rapid business growth for this set of PaaS products and a critical market momentum that has resulted in several thousands of customers for individual, integration-centric PaaS products. This is a good case in point for demonstrating how effective execution against a progressive PaaS product strategy can drive rapid adoption, business growth, and penetration into new enterprise user bases. Oracle has ensured uniformity in user experience (UX) and integration at platform/component API level to deliver a well-integrated set of MWaaS products. Get the report here.

Oracle SOA Suite and WebLogic: Overview of key and keystore configuration by Maarten Smeets

June 30, 2018 Leave a comment

image

Keystores and the keys within can be used for security on the transport layer and application layer in Oracle SOA Suite and WebLogic Server. Keystores hold private keys (identity) but also public certificates (trust). This is important when WebLogic / SOA Suite acts as the server but also when it acts as the client. In this blog post I’ll explain the purpose of keystores, the different keystore types available and which configuration is relevant for which keystore purpose.

Why use keys and keystores?

The below image (from here) illustrates the TCP/IP model and how the different layers map to the OSI model. When in the below elaboration, I’m talking about the application and transport layers, I mean the TCP/IP model layers and more specifically for HTTP.

The two main reasons why you might want to employ keystores are that

  • you want to enable security measures on the transport layer
  • you want to enable security measures on the application layer

Almost all of the below mentioned methods/techniques require the use of keys and you can imagine the correct configuration of these keys within SOA Suite and WebLogic Server is very important. They determine which clients can be trusted, how services can be called and also how outgoing calls identity themselves. Read the complete article here.

June 28, 2018 Leave a comment

clip_image002You are working on Oracle SaaS implementations and want to integrate and extend them? Attend our two days hands-on training to understand how to use Oracle PaaS service like Integration Cloud Service, Mobile Cloud Service or Process Cloud Service in combination with Oracle SaaS solutions like Order management or Digital Field Service. The training is most suitable for developer and consultants with SaaS experience who want to learn more about PaaS.

Agenda

This session will introduce you to how to use Oracle PaaS services to extend SaaS. We will cover the following topics as part of hands on labs

· Create Procurement Order in ERP Cloud– In an increasing mobile first world, customers would like to use mobile exclusively for getting work done. In this use case you will be building mobile front end (Using MAX) to place orders in ERP cloud. The order will then go through appropriate approval process using Oracle Integration Cloud before order is being placed in ERP cloud. Oracle Integration Cloud also orchestrates order into ERP cloud. The same methodology can be used to talk to other ERP products as well. You will use Oracle Integration Cloud, Oracle Mobile Cloud Enterprise & ERP Cloud as part of this use case.

 

· Sales Cloud Extension using Visual Builder– This use case will cover how to extend the sales cloud using Visual Builder which is now part of Oracle Integration Cloud Service. Visual builder is used by citizen developers with no code experience. You will build an extension to Sales Cloud to allocate budget to opportunity using Visual Builder. The extension runs as a self-contained web application in Visual Builder. You will use Sales Cloud and Visual Builder bundled with Oracle Integration Cloud as part of this use case.

OPSS by Peter van Nes

June 27, 2018 Leave a comment

image 

Since you have landed on this article, you will probably have at least heard about OPSS. OPSS is the underlying security platform that provides security to Oracle Fusion Middleware and its applications. OPSS provides an abstraction layer in the form of standards-based application programming interfaces (APIs) that insulate developers from security and identity management implementation details. To be honest, i never been able to fully understand the subject of the matter. There is documentation which states that OPSS provides security to Weblogic, which to my experience and understanding of OPSS is not correct. Instead, the Weblogic security providers and asserters can provide security to OPSS through the SPI. OPSS also should not be tied to a specific application server, which may be the general architecture, only architecture and daily practice may differ.

OPSS can provide security different security services like authentication, authorization, roles and entitlements, etc. These services are delivered by OPSS providers configured in the jps-config.xml. Read the complete article here.

Tips for Working with Stored Procedures in OSB 12c by Sonal Sharma

June 24, 2018 Leave a comment

image

During a recent engagement, I faced a few issues while creating a database adapter for a stored procedure in OSB 12.2.1.2. I wanted to share the detailed steps to create the database adapter, the issues I encountered and the resolution to those issues, in the hope that his may help other people, if they come across similar issues.

As SOA Suite 12c uses JDeveloper as the development environment for both SOA and OSB, it is worth noting that it is now possible to create the database adapter in the OSB project itself. The unified development environment provides a consistent approach for both SOA and OSB, unlike the previous approach, where we needed to import the JCA and corresponding files in Eclipse.

Effective Use Cases for XQuery Library in OSB 12c by Sonal Sharma

June 16, 2018 Leave a comment

image

During my recent engagements, working with SOA Suite 12c, I have realized the strength of the XQuery library feature (introduced in OSB 12c) to simplify SOA 12c implementations by avoiding copying code in various places, and instead centralizing it. In this article we will discuss following:

  • Overview of XQuery library
  • Effective Use Cases for XQuery library
  • Working Example: "Storing customer specific business logic"
    • Without using XQuery lib
    • Using XQuery lib – detailed steps involved
  • Summary
Overview of XQuery library

Creating an XQuery library was a new feature introduced in SOA Suite 12c. This feature provides functionality to reuse XQuery functions and avoid repeatedly coding the same logic, as logic can now be centralized at one place. This is a very handy feature and can be used to strengthen and simplify solutions implemented on the SOA Suite platform. Read the complete article here.
