Servicebus 12c: Using configuration files for customizing service deployments by Sven Bernhardt

April 3, 2017 Leave a comment

imageIntroduction

In my last projects I faced different challenges in the area of how to manage environment-specific artefact configurations that need to be adjusted during rollout of a particular service component. As a result from that, I decided to write down my experiences and solution approaches regarding the corresponding topics. This article is the starting point for a short blog series dealing with different challenges in this area, where the following topics will be covered:

  • General: Using configuration files for customizing service deployments
  • Adjust environment-specific configurations at deployment time
  • Evaluating environment-specific configurations at runtime
  • Security: Approaches for credentials management

Configuration files in Servicebus

During its lifecycle a specific service component needs to pass different quality gates to ensure quality, correctness and stability before it will be approved for production rollout. For that reason deployments to different environments have to be done. This usually means changes in configurations like service endpoints or timeout parameters, which must be possible without changing a components implementation and rebuilding the component. In Oracle Servicebus this can be achieved by using so called configuration files (aka customization files in OSB 11g). With those it is possible to consistently change service properties and configurations for implementation artefacts like proxy services, service pipelines and business services. Within a configuration file you define actions like replace or search and replace to adjust the corresponding configurations.

Generating a basic configuration file can be done using Servicebus console.

As it can be seen in the screenshot above the services that should be adjusted by the configuration file can be selected. Doing so, a file is generated containing replace rules for all configurations that are adjustable. Read the complete article here.

PCS 17.1.3 leveraging ICS by Niall Commiskey

April 2, 2017 Leave a comment

Now we have even tighter integration between PCS and ICS. Together they provide us with an unbeatable process and integration platform.
Let’s start with a simple example –
Here is my ICS process – all it does is create an organization in Service Cloud.

Now to PCS – I can "register" my ICS environment in Workspace (Administration – Services).

Now to my process – this is a simple order process. The order comes from an organization.
A confirmation email is sent to the Org email address, once the order has been approved. Read the complete article here.

DevCamp 2017: How much cost the Oracle Cloud? by Timo Hahn

March 30, 2017 Leave a comment

image

February 7th, I attended the DOAG Dev Camp 2017 in Hannover, Germany. The DevCamp is held in a ‘Bar Camp’ format, meaning that everybody can bring proposals for sessions at the day the bar camp takes place. The proposals are rated at the beginning and the auditorium can decide if they want to discuss the proposal or not.

I pitched a session on the ‘Cost of the Oracle Cloud’ which was accepted by the other attendees. At the begin of the week (around 5th of February) Oracle changed the pricing of the Oracle Cloud Trials. Before this week you could get a trail which lasted one month, now you get a credit of 300$ which you can spend on Oracles Cloud offerings in one month. Once the 300$ are gone or the month is over you get a mail asking if you like to continue to use the cloud services which are then charged on your credit card. Yes, you have to give a valid credit card if you sign up for a trail. The card is not charged until you say so, accepting the continuation of the services.

Gone are the time when you could request another trail account using a different mail address (not that anybody did such a bad thing).

Anyway, I stumbled over this change when I look at the cloud.oracle.com page in preparation of the session I planned for the DevCamp.

Well, you see that you get 300$ to spend on the cloud trail, but not how much a specific trail costs. From my experience with the cloud I know that you need DB Cloud, Storage Cloud, Compute Cloud and Java Cloud to get a Java Development environment for ADF in the cloud. Are the 300$ enough to get all those services for a decent amount of time? Read the complete article here.
