Dear PaaS Partner Community,

Once a year we host the PaaS Partner Community Forum, your opportunity to become a champion in the latest PaaS cloud services from Oracle. On the first conference day the ACEs and the community will share best practices and customer success stories. During keynotes including live demos the Oracle team will introduce PaaS innovations like blockchain or machine learning. On the third day you can choose between four conference tracks Enterprise Process & Integration &API Management and Application Development with Microservices & Containers and Mobile & Chatbot & Content Management and Innovation: blockchaine & machine learning. The last two days of the conference you can code & try the cloud services hands-on! Most important the conference is an excellent networking opportunity with Oracle partners, ACEs, product development and the A&C team. Since we host the Partner Community Forum the conference was always booked out, secure your seat today!

There are more than five reasons why our joint customer base should choose Oracle’s PaaS. One of them is Oracle’s third generation API Platform cloud service. Another reason is Oracle’s support of standards also for APIs.

Applying configuration management and related dev practises – ICS Definitive Guide #3 by Phil Wilkins

December 17, 2017 Leave a comment

Good development practises such as configuration management and naming conventions have been a topic of conversation a number of times recently for us when it comes to ICS. In this post we will look at what configuration management means to ICS and the application of naming standards.

Why Configuration Management?

So why do we need configuration management with a tool such as ICS? The question depends on what stage of the software lifecycle you are, but a few reasons:

As a developer there have been occasions where we have tried to optimise something and then decided to reverted back to the last secured state in configuration control.
Deleted something and then regretted it, whilst desktops have the concept of paper basket to recover from, not so in ICS.
If your providing packages of ICS functionality you may have different released versions – so need to keep master copies of every version available to refer to.
Sometimes we get ‘configuration drift’ – and therefore need to have a reference point to compare to. This allows us to determine the drift and if it is appropriate to reset an environment. Whilst this may sound less significant, it is enough of a problem for tools like Puppet to incorporate the ability. Read the complete article here.

Get Started with Oracle Integration Cloud Services- Introduction (1/4) by Pulkit Mathur

December 13, 2017 Leave a comment

Recently, I got the chance to work with a limited-time trial of Integration Cloud Services provided by Oracle. This is a blog to help you get started on understanding what Integration Cloud Services is about.

Introduction:

Integration Cloud Service and SOA Cloud Service are two cloud integration products that have been launched by Oracle in recent times.

The first question that arises is why two products? The primary difference between the two is the range of functions that can be done. While SOA CS is basically SOA Suite in the cloud, and intended for hardcore developers who are used to working with SOA Suite and want to continue leveraging it’s multiple capabilities like MDS and the ability to achieve very complex integrations; ICS is more of a lightweight service that can be used to achieve simple, lightweight integrations that do not require much complexity. Oracle intends ICS to be used by technically inclined clients without the need for a hardcore developer to come in and save the day!

In my opinion, the main differentiating factor of ICS from other integration cloud products is the rich variety of connectors that they offer (currently 50) that includes connections to other cloud products like RightNow, Eloqua, SalesCloud and various social media like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and a lot more.

Without further ado, let’s get started with how to request a trial of ICS from Oracle:

1) Go to cloud.oracle.com

2) Click on ‘Try It’ on the top right corner, and scroll down to ‘Integration’ Read the complete article here.
