Templating in Process Cloud Service by Antonis Antoniou

August 30, 2017 Leave a comment

image

Oracle Process Cloud Service released a new capability in the space of re-usability and templating called "QuickStart Master", a way to streamline application and process development by promoting your own applications as templates.

This feature is build on top of the existing QuickStart Apps capability, a very nice feature which part part of the very first release of Oracle PCS.
So let’s see how you can create a very simple application in Oracle Process Cloud Service and how you can promote it as a QuickStart app.
Create a new application in Oracle Process Cloud Service, give it a name and file it under a space (I’ve named it "Travel Request Application" under a custom space called "aantoniou").

Create also a sample process. For simplicity purposes I’ve created a process using the "Form" pattern and named it "TravelRequestProcess".Read the complete article here.

Process Cloud Service: new features! By Lykle Thijssen

August 29, 2017 Leave a comment

image

During Oracle Open World 2016, the latest release of Oracle Process Cloud Service got presented. The product has been making huge progress in all aspects, so here’s an overview of all the new and improved features.

Oracle Process Cloud Service

For those of you unfamiliar with the product: Oracle Process Cloud Service (PCS) is Oracle’s BPM solution for the cloud. While development on Oracle BPM Suite has pretty much come to an end, Oracle Process Cloud Service is the way forward and the platform for all new features related to Business Process Management. This meant that the product that was originally positioned as BPM for the citizen developer had to improve and mature to a full-blown BPM solution. It needs to support long running processes, improve its integration strategy and support case management, to mention some important subjects. While case management is not there yet, it will certainly come to Oracle Process Cloud Service and many other features are already there with the latest release.

Modelling Processes

As it used to be, modelling processes is done in the browser. This makes it easy for business and IT to collaborate on processes, because you only need an internet connection to get access. No need for development tools, code repositories and a powerful work station to get started. The main improvement in the process modelling is that Oracle has abandoned the usage of Flash. This makes the process modeller faster and easier to use, creating a far more pleasant and performant development experience.

Selecting integrations

When creating a Service Call, whether it’s synchronous or asynchronous, you can now select an Integration from Oracle Integration Cloud Service. Obviously, this is much more practical than dealing with WSDL imports and all the technical stuff related to that, but it also has a bigger meaning. It’s clearly showing that Integration Cloud Service has been strategically positioned as the way to go for process integrations. It’s putting the technical know-how of integration where it belongs, so you will no longer feel tempted to take that kind of complexity into a business process. Therefore, I strongly recommend following this approach as suggested by Oracle, instead of trying to work out your own integrations in PCS. Use these products for their purpose.

In today’s world, billions of connected devices, from smart vehicles to smart meters and even electric scooters, generate ever-increasing quantities of valuable data. By using data from devices, many businesses have started to look at new business models like delivering their products as a service to attract new customers and help reduce costs.

SoftBank, the Japanese telecommunications and technology company, and PS Solutions, a subsidiary of SoftBank, this year launched an eco-friendly electric scooter sharing service called Setouchi Karen that leverages Oracle IoT Cloud.

Read this Forbes article and watch the video below to learn how a novel IoT use case for ‘mobility-as-a-service’ is enabling SoftBank to realize efficiencies and improvements in customer experience. Watch the video here.

Management Cloud – Application Performance Monitoring for Java EE, ADF & SOA Suite applications by Lucas Jellema

August 27, 2017 Leave a comment

image

In a recent article, I shared my first steps (small step for mankind, big steps for me) with Oracle Management Cloud: First steps with Oracle Management Cloud – Application Performance Management for Node (JS) applications. In that article, I have explained in broad terms the purpose of Application Performance Monitoring in the scope of OMC:

Application Performance Monitoring (APM) is clearly indispensable to any organization adopting a DevOps approach – and frankly required for any organization in general running applications to support business objectives. APM provides insight in the non-functional behavior of applications – or better yet: of the business functions provided by these applications. It alerts administrators to functions that have unacceptable response times or are at risk to display poor performance and it allows us to analyze these situations to figure out where in the application stack – front end, services, integration flows, database, etc. – and in which specific component the problems have arisen. After performing this type of root cause analysis, resolving the problem still needs to be done, but is kick started as early as possible and with as much analysis details as possible.

In that earlier article, I also demonstrated how monitoring can be set up for Node (JS) applications. In this article, I will work with the APM Java agent. This agent can be installed and configured for a range of Java EE application servers – including Oracle WebLogic Server, Apache Tomcat Server, JBoss/WildFly, IBM WebSphere Server. It will observe the activity in the JVM and derive meaningful metrics from its observations. These metrics are forwarded to the OMC cloud where they are stored, processed, visualized and analyzed.

In this article I will apply the APM Java Agent to an existing Oracle WebLogic plus SOA Suite environment. After installing and configuring the agent, I have to make one small change to the WebLogic startup script, (re)start the server and subsequently and activity on that server is reported to OMC and exposed in the APM Dashboard and analysis screens. Subsequently my colleague executed the same steps on his personal laptop, using an agent with the same registration key and applying this agent to a WebLogic Server running an ADF application against a local database. Within minutes, the metrics from his machine and his ADF application appeared in the APM section of OMC, ready to be analyzed. (this particular ADF application is intentionally equipped with a number of performance black holes, for training and demonstration purposes; OMC APM was capable of identifying most of them.

Service Bus Transport for Apache Kafka by Ricardo Ferreira

August 26, 2017 Leave a comment

image

Introduction

This sample provides a native transport for OSB (Oracle Service Bus) that allows connectivity with Apache Kafka. By using native APIs, the transport allows resilient and high speed access to Apache Kafka clusters. Integration developers can benefit from this transport in the implementation of use cases that requires the integration to/from Apache Kafka with applications (SaaS and On-Premise) supported by OSB, as well as technologies such as JMS, HTTP, MSMQ, Coherence, Tuxedo, FTP, etc.

Using the Kafka Transport for Inbound Processing (From Kafka to the World)
Using the Kafka Transport for Outbound Processing (From the World to Kafka)

This is an Open-Source project maintained by Oracle.

Features and Benefits:

The OSB Transport for Apache Kafka provides inbound and outbound connectivity with Apache Kafka. But this is definetely a oversimplification of what this transport can really do. The list below summarizes the most important features found in this implementation.

  • Supports multiple Apache Kafka versions such as 0.9.X, 0.10.X and above.
  • It works with the enterprise version of Kafka (Confluent Platform) as well.
  • Designed to work with 12c versions of OSB. Compatible with 12.1.3 and 12.2.1. Get the code here.

Mediator, the-always-give-response-pattern by using the Echo-reply by Eric Elzinga

August 25, 2017 Leave a comment

Iimagen my usecase i subscribed to an eventbus solution (rabbitmq with some custom code to be able to publish to consumers based on the soap protocol).

The backend system which generated the notications can generate the next type of events :

— employeename got changed

The current subscription mechanism only allows me to subscribe based on the value of entity.
Since i’m not interested in all EMPLOYEE related events i need to do the filtering myself.

When i register myself as consumer on the event i need to configure a soap endpoint at which the event bus will deliver the soap envelope.
The definition of this soap interface defines a http sync operation. (http 200)

This means, when the event bus tries to deliver an event and it receives back a soap response with http200, the message will be removed from the queue (i have 1 queue dedicated for my consumer application).
When the event bus tries to deliver an event and it receives back a empty response with http202, the publish on the event bus will fail since it checks on a valid soap body response.

So..this is a bit of background information. Read the complete article here.

How to call web service that uses WS-Addressing from OSB 12c by Denis Velagic

August 24, 2017 Leave a comment

image

One of the external systems is using web services with WS-Addressing to retrieve Login information for the user in this case it is a token number. After which this token number will be used when calling other web services from that system.

So to call this web service from Oracle Service Bus 12c we need to create correct SOAP headers to enable the WS-Addressing callout.

Short overview of WS-Addressing

WS-Addressing provides a transport-neutral mechanism to address Web services and their associated messages. Using WS-Addressing, endpoints are uniquely and unambiguously defined in the SOAP header. WS-Addressing provides two key components that enable transport-neutral addressing, including:

  • Endpoint reference (EPR) – Communicates the information required to address a Web service endpoint.
  • Message addressing properties – Communicates end-to-end message characteristics, including addressing for source and destination endpoints and message identity, that allows uniform addressing of messages independent of the underlying transport. Read the complete article here.
