Complex Composites Simplified by Dan Reynebeau

September 27, 2017 Leave a comment

image

How many times have you developed a new composite, or migrated an older composite, that simply turned into an overly complex process?  Modifying and debugging the new process can become more difficult and take longer to implement.

A good java implementation breaks the problem into manageable classes that can be easily understood and managed over the life of the implementation.  Since this works well with java, why not apply the basic principle to a composite.  In comes SOA 12C and the implementation of subprocesses, which can be utilized for breaking down a composite into manageable components.

Breaking down a complex composite provides several benefits:

  • Easy modification – smaller processes that focus on particular functionality are much easier to visualize and understand
  • Reducing duplication – smaller processes provide the ability to be re-used within the composite
  • Localized error handling – smaller processes allow specific error handling requirements to be handled and thrown to calling process

Now I will show a simplistic example of a composite that performs database syncing.  The composite will attempt to sync table 1 and if any number of records are sync’d, then we want to sync table 2.  I will not go into the details of how to create a subprocess since there are many tutorials already available.

My general approach is to simplify the main process so the flow is easier to follow.  This concept can be extended to the subprocess layer in a similar fashion as the BPEL layer, if the subprocess layer becomes too complex. Read the complete article here.

Getting the best Oracle API information with Swagger and a pinch of NodeJS by Léon Smiers

September 26, 2017 Leave a comment

image

In a world full of API’s we need to have a way to understand the functionality and meaning of an API before we can start using it. In the Oracle Cloud world (SaaS, PaaS and IaaS) all (or at least most) API’s are defined as REST services, based upon a JSON structure.
Since there is no conformed standard between API delivering parties, different design frameworks are used, with OpenAPI Specification (Swagger), RAML and API Blueprint the most popular ones. Oracle is opting for the OpenAPI Specification, with the accompanying design tool Swagger, as the standard for their products.

Oracle combined all the tools and resources for Cloud and On-prem software in a developers website. On this website the API descriptions for all PaaS products can be found. Unfortunately the information provided in the API overviews are pretty minimal. The online Swagger editor is not helping either, with all sorts of warnings popping up. The Swagger locally used UI tool requires CORS enabled calls, so out-of-the-box is offering the support we need.

This blogpost is about adding the last step in order to get insight in the Oracle PaaS API definitions with the Swagger UI tool. With the help of NodeJS CORS is added to the PaaS API call, and delivers the insight we want!

OpenAPI specification and Swagger

The OpenAPI specification is described on the http://swagger.io/specification/ website and unfolds how both Design elements and Documentation are used to define an API. The entire structure of the API design is based upon JSON, though also YAML can be used as the underpinning language. Swagger supports this specification with a bunch of tools, that can be used both in-line and locally installed. Read the complete article here.

Oracle Applications User Experience (OAUX) team at Oracle OpenWorld 2017

September 23, 2017 Leave a comment

The Oracle Applications User Experience (OAUX) team wants you to know that we’re so excited to host our partners and customers at the OAUX Exchange during Oracle OpenWorld 2017 in San Francisco in early October. Get the details on what we’re planning to show and how you can register from our recent post, “Add the OAUX Exchange, a showcase of the future, to your OpenWorld lineup.” Or go straight to our registration page: https://tinyurl.com/OAUXExchange.

If you can’t wait for the Exchange to talk about what the future holds, such as how artificial intelligence (AI) might fit in, we have a new article to share, Machine learning and AI: Can it be the butler that can change user experience? Published online in The Economic Times recently, OAUX Group Vice President Jeremy Ashley writes about the shift in UX that emerging technologies such as AI can bring about.

Our recent roundup of new material on the OAUX Blog also includes a post on researching emerging technology and how that could shape the user experience: “Heading ‘into the wild’ for guerilla research on emerging tech.” There’s more – tools for developers and news about Release 13 are there as well.

JUST FOR PARTNERS

OAUX GVP Jeremy Ashley and OAUX Senior Director Misha Vaughan attend an HCM partner event in London recently. The regional event was attended by about 80 partners and included updates on Release 12, SVP Clive Swan on AI, and UX strategist Richard Twelvetrees on the Digital Agency (re-named the Design Initiative). Jeremy discussed Oracle’s evolving approach to user experience (UX), and Misha highlighted the UX tools available to partners today for extensibility.
“It was exciting to see so many partners well engaged on HCM and to see UX clearly identified as a differentiator for HCM,” Misha said later.

Want a quick look at the action? Check out this video on YouTube.

And for more on those tools in Release 12, learn how to redesign the springboard in just a few easy steps in this recent post.

What’s New for Oracle Process Cloud Service 17.3.3

September 20, 2017 Leave a comment

image

Integration Cloud Service

REST is now supported for Oracle Integration Cloud Service (ICS) integrations.

See Creating Integration Cloud Service Integrations in Using Oracle Process Cloud Service.

CORS support

Oracle Process Cloud Service’s REST APIs and embeddable process UI components support cross-origin resource sharing (CORS).

Web forms

In addition to significant performance improvements, the forms editor includes these enhancements:

· You can now allow users to select multiple rows of a table or repeatable section using the Multiple Selection check box. When this option is enabled to define dynamic behaviors or computed values, additional options are available in a Which? field to specify which values are retrieved. See Configuring Repeatable Sections and Configuring Tables in Using Oracle Process Cloud Service.

· Use new Split and Join text functions to either split a string into an array or join an array into a string. For example, split a series of numbers in a text field into a checklist, or fetch values of all rows within a table column and create a series. See Specifying Functions in Using Oracle Process Cloud Service.

· Payloads now sync. If multiple controls within a form are bound by the same data attribute, either directly or indirectly (through computed values or events), any change to the data attribute is immediately reflected in all associated controls. Repeatable sections or tables bound by the same data attribute are also in sync, where addition or deletion of rows in one control is automatically reflected in the other control.

· You can now set data values from events. When specifying actions for a presentation, use the new Set Data action to set the value of a particular data attribute used in the form. The value is added to the payload. When the event executes, all controls using this data attribute, either directly or indirectly, are updated with this value. See Working with Presentations in Using Oracle Process Cloud Service.

· When defining dynamic behaviors using the Select control, you can fetch the selected option name using the new Selected Label option under the Property field in the Event window. See Configuring Drop-down Select Fields in Using Oracle Process Cloud Service.

· When populating a form, if a field within a section or tab contains invalid data, a validation error is displayed for the field and the entire section or tab is marked invalid.

You can now determine when connector data loads into a control using the new Skip Upon Load option. For example, select this option to prevent connector data being populated into a control when the form loads. See Populating Controls Using REST Calls and Working with Presentations in Using Oracle Process Cloud Service.

Documents and Conversations

Oracle Documents Cloud Service’s name has changed. It’s now known as Oracle Content and Experience Cloud.
