Teaching how Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) simplifies Application Integration, Process Automation and API Management by Carlos Rodriguez Iturria

November 28, 2018 Leave a comment

In this blog I am going to show you three new capabilities introduced in Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) that massively simplify the enablement of Application integration with extensions to Business Process Automation workflows and finally how to expose all of that as secured APIs via the Oracle API Gateway.

These three new capabilities are:

Call your Process Cloud Service (PCS) workflows from an Integration Cloud Service (ICS) orchestration.
Call your ICS integrations from a PCS business process.
Expose your ICS integrations as APIs into the Oracle API Gateway

Our scenario is simple, it is an incident management extension, that requires some human intervention to manage service requests. Read the complete article here.

Three Quick Tips API Platform CS – Gateway Installation (Part 2) By: Sunny Das

November 27, 2018 Leave a comment

This is Part 2 of the blog series (The first part of the series can be accessed here). The aim of the blog post is to provide useful tips, which will enable the installation of the on premise Gateway for Oracle API Platform Cloud Services. If you want to know more about the product, then you can refer here.

The following tips are based on some of the scenarios, we have observed in production.

If you find yourself in a situation where the "configure" or the "start" actions are taking a long time (We are talking upwards of 20 minutes), then a possible culprit could be Entropy. This can be confirmed by looking at the logs, a possible indicator is SSL cryptographic hash calculation is somehow failing. Entropy and it’s effect on the Weblogic Server has been documented well in these blogs:
- https://blogs.oracle.com/luzmestre/why-does-my-weblogic-server-takes-a-long-time-to-start
- http://theheat.dk/blog/?p=1539

Essentially,to get past the entropy problem, you need to do the following (for Linux):

· check the current entropy count by executing:

cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail. Read the complete article here.

Three Quick Tips API Platform CS – Gateway Installation (Part 1) By: Sunny Das

November 25, 2018 Leave a comment

This blog post assumes some prior knowledge of API Platform Cloud Service and pertains to the on premise gateway installation steps. Here we try to list down 3 useful tips (applicable for 18.1.3+), arranged in no particular order:.

Before installing the gateway, make sure you have the correct values for "listenIpAddress" and "publishAddress". This can be done by the following checklist (Linux only):
- Does the command "hostname -f" return a valid value ?
- Does the command "ifconfig" list downs the ip addresses properly ?
- Do you have additional firewall/network policies that may prevent communication with management tier?
- Do you authoritatively know the internal and public ip/addresses to be used for the gateway node?

If you do not know the answers to any of the questions, please contact your network administrator.

If you see issues with gateway server not starting up properly, incorrect values of "listenIpAddress" and "publishAddress" could be the possible cause. Read the complete article here.

Tracing Executions in an API Environment by Phil Wilkins

November 24, 2018 Leave a comment

As APIs become more pervasive within our solutions we see the arrival of not just design and cataloging tools such as Apiary, Apigee and others but also the arrival of gateways. The gateways provide execution of operations including validation, accounting (moneytization), routing, and other controls such as throttled checks that would often not occur until the first contact with a service bus. For example initial routing based on the API call, fine grained authentication and authorisation (differing from your firewalls who will just perhaps authorise).

In the more traditional integration middleware of Oracle Service Bus and SOA (regardless of cloud, on-premises) you can trace the execution through the middleware end to end. This tracing can be achieved because the platform creates and assigns the a UUID (aka eCID) and ensures that it is carried through the middleware. It is this very behaviour that allows Oracle to provide Business Activity Monitoring without any need to be invasive. Burt not only that in a highly distributed environment you can track the processing of a transaction from end to end. Read the complete article here.

Managing API Policy Versioning in Oracle API Platform by Phil Wilkins

November 23, 2018 Leave a comment

Oracle’s API Platform (API-P) product avoids the use of external configuration management. If you want to better understand why, then checkout our forthcoming book as it goes into detail about why this is the case (it can be pre-release version of the book can be obtained here). In a previous blog I wrote about and illustrated the use of the API-P’s own APIs so that it was possible to see what API iterations had been deployed to API Gateways.

In this blog I want to explore the issues of version management a bit further. API-P provides internal version management through the idea of iterations as previously explored (Understanding API Deployment State on API Platform). In addition to this there are API policy attributes called version, status etc. This information whilst having some impact on behavior reflects the version of the ‘contract’ that the API represents between the consumer and provider, and requires a manual change.

The API policies themselves are version tracked through the iteration identifiers. Each time a policy is saved the iteration is is incremented. What the API-P doesn’t support is the concept of branching. In relatively simple API Policy branching is unlikely to ever be an issue. Read the complete article here.

· PACT for Cloud Platform community is available for Oracle employees and for partners. Its goal is to be a “single-stop Partner Enablement shop” providing access to: key enablement people : Oracle Partner Enablement Coaches and Solutions Champions & key information about training and certification about Oracle Cloud Platform services.

· Three Advances Finally Making Software Self-Healing and Self-Managing Advance #1: As developers write and deploy code on a cloud platform, the platform automatically generates and delivers relevant activity and environment insights, without a separate effort. The next advances.

· Machine Learning: The New Must-Have for IT Security Using the vast amount of data it has accumulated through monitoring and securing technology in on-premises and cloud IT environments, Oracle has created purpose-built management and security services in Oracle Cloud. So as the algorithms learn and improve, the benefits immediately become available to every customer.

· Blockchain’s Promise and Potential for Fintech The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), a global cooperative that provides secure financial messaging services, is working on a blockchain-based global payment initiative for global financial transfers. The platform’s blockchain technology provides instant international bank transfers and automatic compliance. Other benefits.

· Strengthening Support for Start-Ups A year ago, Oracle announced a global expansion of its Startup Cloud Accelerator program, and it has recruited five to six startups in each new location. “One of the things I think we got right was varying and adapting the program based on its location, and you’ll see us continue with that strategy,” says Reggie Bradford, Oracle’s senior vice president of Startup Ecosystem and Accelerator. What’s next for the program?

· Tech Trends That Made a Difference in 2017 The idea of shifting workloads en masse to the cloud has become mainstream. “For the first time, in 2017, I worked on projects where large, multinational companies give up their own data center and move 100% to the cloud,” says Frank Munz, of Munz & More. What other trends did technologists spot?

· City of San Jose Launches Smart City App “We’re looking to make San Jose the most innovative city in the world,” says CIO Rob Lloyd. Thanks to the My San Jose application, powered by Oracle Cloud, citizens are now better connected with their government. How it works.
