Real Time Item Synchronization using Oracle Integration by Kishore Katta

Usecase

As we move critical systems to the cloud, maintaining a true Item Master at the core becomes astronomically challenging without standardized controls. Whether just starting or well into the cloud, a simplified Item Master will drive business transformation no matter what the make-up of your world. Irrespective of Consolidation or Centralized Style of implementation of Oracle Product Hub Cloud the Real Time Synchronization of Item/Attributes/Item Categories/BOM and related information with Enterprise ERP’s and Commerce ERP’s is pretty much a necessity. Look at the World of Possibilities which is true in many of the Real Customer Scenarios.

In this use case we will explore the use of Oracle Integration to subscribe to Oracle Product Hub Cloud Events and push the relevant event information to downstream systems such as E-Business suite for a typical Hybrid Deployment scenario.

a. User creates an Item in Oracle Product Hub Cloud

b. Oracle Integration subscribes to the Item event, transforms and pushes the relevant Item information to E-Business Suite Read the complete article here.

A little bit of insight in SOA Suite future by Martien van den Akker

A few weeks ago I was made aware of a few announcements, which I think makes sense and that I want to pass on to my followers, sauced with a bit of my own perspective.

Containerized SOA

Last year I had made myself familiar with the Oracle Weblogic Kubernetes Operator. See for instance my Cheat Sheet Serie. I also had the honor to talk about it during the Tech Summit at OUK in December ’19. Weblogic under Kubernetes is apparently the way to go for Weblogic. And with that, also the Fusion Middleware Stack. However, until now only ‘plain’ Weblogic is supported under Kubernetes, on all Cloud platforms, as well as on your own on-premises Kubernetes platform. It was no surprise that SOA Suite would follow, and in March there an early access for SOA Suite on Kubernetes was announced.

In the announcement it is stated that Oracle will provide Container images for SOA Suite including OSB, that are also certified for deployment on production Kubernetes environments. Also documentation, support files, deployment scripts and samples. Later on other components will be certified. This is good news, because it will allow SOA Suite be run in co-existence with cloud native applications and be part of a more heterogenous application platform. To me this makes sense. It makes High Availability and Disaster Recovery easier, but although the application landscape will be diverse and heterogenous, this makes the maintenance, install, deploy and upgrade of FMW within that landscape more uniformly aligned with other application compents like web applications, possible microservices, etc. Read the complete article here.

Promoting Your Code by Antony Reynolds

A few years ago my wife and I were honored to be invited to our friends promotion ceremony. By hard work, dedication and outstanding leadership he was promoted to a full Colonel in the US Air Force. Fortunately when promoting integrations between environments it is a lot less work.

Environments

We usually have multiple environments for our code. Some possible environments are listed below:

• Development for building integrations.
• Test for testing integrations.
• Production for running integrations.

Other possible environment might include

• QA for final acceptance testing
• Load Test for performance testing.

Promotion Requirements

When promoting code between environments some key features are worth bearing in mind.

• Same code should be deployed to production that was tested – no changes.
  • This is important because we want to deploy to production what we tested in development and test/qa.
• Configuration data should be separate from code – each environment will have its own unique endpoints.
  • This is important because we don’t want to accidentally store production data in test or development systems.

OIC Features to Support Code Promotion

OIC allows individual integrations to be exported. Each integration includes dependent artifacts such as lookup tables, JavaScript libraries and connection types. Note that it does not include connection endpoints or credentials as these will vary between systems. To simplify deployment multiple integrations can be bundled into a package.

Data Stitch Assign operation for Elements with Attributes by Jorge Herreria

Overview

You might noticed some times Data Stitch ASSIGN will volunteer or remove attributes from the targeted element… On this post I explain the behavior of ASSIGN operation for elements that have attributes and give some ideas for manage it.

There’s heavy XML, XSD, XPath lingo in this post. I’ll try to explain the lingo w/o going deep into it. I use the lingo with the intent that in case you search over the internet, you get more accurate hits 😉

Expect twisted humor and a two way conversation. A quote I like: "What if it works?" ~ me

For those in a hurry

If ASSIGN is copying the attributes along with the value of the element and you do not want the attributes, the use text() function. If ASSIGN is removing the existing attributes in the TO element, then you need to save off the attributes and then reassign them back.

Syntax used in this post

(TO XPath Expression).OPERATION(FROM XPath Expression)

Example: Read the complete article here.
