Heathrow A Customer Success Story by Flexagon & Capgemini

image

In 2020, Heathrow commenced a business and technology transformation which included a move to the cloud. Among other changes, this involved a move from Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) hosted in a private cloud to Oracle Cloud ERP and the use of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Platform services such as Integration and Database. The team had been using labor-intensive manual processes to manage their infrastructure, migration of code, configurations, and other changes across environments.

Heathrow identified an opportunity to make their processes more efficient. They knew there had to be an easier and more modern way to manage changes across their test and production environments and declared that automation would be part of their transformation and shift to the cloud. They wanted automated deployment and management of infrastructure, code, and configurations while establishing repeatable processes, including the ability to be more responsive to business needs.

Extend Process Automation UI Components to JET-Based Applications by Arvind Venugopal, Rameshkumar

image

With the May release, Process UI snippets are now available as Oracle JET (JavaScript Extension Toolkit) composite components for embedding in self-service applications, services, or portals. A JET composite component, similar to a standard web component, allows you to define and use custom DOM (Document Object Model) elements.

Using these components, you can easily incorporate standalone Process UI modules into multiple JET-based applications. Let’s look at how you can extend the Process UI, employing composite components, in the following scenarios.

  • Import a Process Composite Component into Visual Builder
  • Embed a Process Composite Component in a Web Application

Import a Process Composite Component into Visual Builder

You can make Process UI composite components available in Oracle Visual Builder and use these components, along with other Visual Builder components, to create custom enterprise, web, or mobile applications.

Use the procedure detailed here to make a Process composite component available in Oracle Visual Builder. In this example, we’ll add the Task List component into Visual Builder. Read the complete article here.

Process Automation with Process Cloud Service (PCS) – Part 4 (Testing) by Daniel Teixeira

image

Testing is without doubts the ugly duckling of application development, but it is really a necessary evil Testing in itself is a whole separate discipline where one can have several types of Testing ->Unit, Integrated, Performance, Load, Regression, E2E.

The idea here is to focus only on the testing capabilities that are part of the PCS platform, and how to use them to improve the development stage.

Option 1

The easy way to test the development efforts is straight from the canvas. By pressing the play button the workflow will start and we are given the choice about the user that is playing a role in the execution. Think of this as a sort of Unit Test! You can select who initiates the process and who approves it and act as those users. In this process the start is via a Form read the complete article here.

Invoking Process Applications with Anonymous Users from VB Apps with Oracle Integration by Arvind Venugopal, Shay Shmeltzer, and Nathan Angstadt

imageIn this blog, we will setup a Visual Builder Application with Oracle Integration and use Process behind the scenes. For this particular use case, we will show how to build VB Applications that allow access by Anonymous users to initiate Process Applications. A common use case would be where the Web App is used by many external users where you don’t want to setup secure identities for each user, however you still want to secure the Process Apps.

Let’s explore some options for this use case.

A couple of steps to complete before exploring the various security options:

  • First, setup a Process Application with a Message Start event. A simple example is provided below.
  • Then, In VB have a form with an action that connects to the Process (you will need to setup the VB app to work with the Process App as well). Example using Process Action is shown below. For the options mentioned below, you will need to use the REST action instead. Read the complete article here.

Working Around not Having Complex Gateway by Jan Kettenis

imageIn this article I describe how you can work around not having the Complex Gateway in OIC Structured Process. I will end with what I believe to be the best work around with respect to support for refactoring.

The Complex Gateway in BPMN 2.0 is one of the least used features of BPMN. However, when you find a use case for it also may find that there is no alternative way to model it, or not an easy one. The challenge being that in case of parallel flows (be it via Parallel or Inclusive Gateway) the token must move to the merge gateway for each individual flow before it can move further.

One typical use case that I have ran into a couple of times is the one where at a specific point in the process there is more than one way to do something, and either one of them might happen after which the process can move on to the next activity. In case there are only two ways, most of the times you can model this by adding an interrupting Boundary Message or Timer Catch event to the activities. Read the complete article here.

OSB 12c SOAP webservice for temperature conversion i.e. Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa by Pranav Davar

image

This tutorial is intended for the audience who are completely new to OSB and want to try a simple hello world kind of application. Instead of sending and receiving Hello World!. We will be using simple temperature conversion i.e. from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa. We will be using simple Xquery to do all conversion and logic.

High Level:

In this case, our OSB component will contain 2 parts proxy service and pipeline. Proxy service will expose SOAP endpoint to the client application and pipeline will perform various operations on input payload. Since this is just a Hello World application, we will not be using business services. XQuery will be used to implement mathematical logic and conditional logic. Service will take temperature as input and will perform either Fahrenheit to Celsius (FtoC) or Celsius to Fahrenheit (CtoF) temperature conversion. If the conversion type is invalid, then the service will return a failure status.

Mathematical Calculations:

Let temperature in Fahrenheit be X℉ and temperature in Celsius be Y℃. Read the complete article here

Using UN/EDIFACT for B2B Transactions by Arvind Venugopal, and Sunil Apte

image

With the May release, we have added support for EDIFACT data format for B2B with Oracle Integration. UN/EDIFACT is a standard and format for electronic business communications. It is controlled and maintained by a committee called, UNECE, that is a body formed by the United Nations.

Now you will be able to design and run EDIFACT transactions with the Cloud Platform. Here are the key steps that allow you to do this:

  • First step is that you will now be able to design EDIFACT formatted schemas from within the B2B Design time experience in ‘B2B Schemas’
  • Once the schema is created you will be able to personalize and customize the named instance of this schema to adhere to the trading partner specifications.
  • Once you have the schemas created you will be able to use them to create B2B documents. Now, you don’t need a custom schema for B2B documents in case you are using standard schemas. In which case, you can go directly to create the B2B document. Read the complete article here.
