Emotion Recognition at Oracle Maker Faire by Noel Portugal

September 7, 2017 Leave a comment

image

A few weeks before the first ever Oracle sponsored Maker Faire, I was experimenting with some of the cognitive (vision) recognition APIs available. Google Vision API, Watson Visual Recognition and Microsoft Computer Vision API are some of the biggest players in this field right now.

After testing all of them I found the idea of Microsoft’s CaptionBot really compelling: Upload an image to the CaptionBot and it will try to come up with a coherent caption based on a mashup of three of their cognitive services (Computer Vision API +  Emotion API + Bing Image API). I wrote an iOS app (with it’s own Swift framework) to consume this mashup and took it for a spin.

I gave my phone to my kids to test the app. They ran around the house and were truly amused by pointing the camera to an object and getting a description.

So when the call to create a project for Oracle Maker Faire with my kids came, we sat down and started brainstorming. The concept was still fresh on their minds; A computer could guess as close as possible to what an object is and even guess a facial expression. Read the complete article here.

Front and Center: The User Experience

September 6, 2017 Leave a comment

image

 

Jeremy Ashley, Group Vice President of the Oracle Applications User Experience (OAUX) team, appears on both big and small screens as he discusses the role of user experience in our work lives in this round-up of recent videos, articles, and posts:

Web Summit in Lisbon: CloudMovesTV caught up with Jeremy at the Web Summit in Lisbon, Portugal, in November for an interview about how technology is influencing the user experience, and what Oracle is doing about it. For a more personal perspective on Web Summit, as well as a bit about the debate Jeremy took part in on whether the customer is always right, read OAUX team member Karen Scipi’s post about her time at the Web Summit on the Oracle Usable Apps in the Cloud blog, Front and Center: The User Experience.

OracleVoice on Forbes.com: For a post for OracleVoice, Oracle’s platform on Forbes.com, Jeremy discusses the continual visual evolution of Oracle’s user experience and how Cloud applications are technical tools in our jobs. One role of user experience is to help these tools become part of our corporate culture, and astute observers will recognize that this has been a focus of the visual evolution strategic theme for the past year. Read more about it in “Application User Experience Must Reflect the Corporate Culture.”

Oracle’s Profit Online: In Pillars of Innovation by Oracle’s Robert Preston, Jeremy talks about how innovation happens at Oracle on his own team, and what he does to support it. As Preston writes, breakthrough ideas don’t just happen by chance.

HR Tech Outlook: In this online article, Jeremy discusses how HR must work to meet the needs of an ever-widening employee base, and how technology can play a role, in “Designing Tools for the Multi-Generation Workforce.”

Voice of User Experience, or VoX blog: Jeremy doesn’t do all of the talking about user experience. The OAUX team’s Vikki Lira has also compiled a collection of customer quotes from Oracle OpenWorld 2016. See what people are saying about the Release 11 user experience in “Customer conversations: Oracle OpenWorld 2016, Release 11 highlight UX benefits.”

MORE FROM THE OAUX TEAM: Members of the OAUX team were at several events in the past month, showing how an investment in emerging technology can lead to something new in the user experience. In the first sponsored mini maker faire, Oracle hosted makers at the Conference Center at Oracle HQ in Redwood Shores in November. More than 80 makers showed exhibits, OAUX team member and organizer Laurie Pattison says, and about 500 people came through. You can read more about the event on The Oracle Blog. Later in the month, it was off to Sydney for the Integrated Cloud Hackathon with Oracle partners. For a look at how that went, watch this video on the OAUX YouTube channel. While there, GVP Ashley and Pattison, who also coordinated the hackathon, took time out for a podcast interview. Listen to that here.

BPM 12.2.1 ADF Auto-Generation Issue Solutions by Dan Atwood

September 5, 2017 Leave a comment

image

Others may disagree, but I am a fan of creating the first cut of ADF forms for Oracle BPM using the human task’s auto-generation feature.  While this worked well in previous releases, in both 12.2.1.1 and 12.2.1.2 small manual edits are now required to eliminate the errors on the generated form.

There are now two types of errors caused by 12.2.1 auto-generation – edAttTy errors and duplicate ID errors.

edAttTy Errors

The first type of error on the generated page causes "Referenced id edAttTy does not exist" errors throughout the form:

Although customer support document Doc ID 2192543.1 describes the issue, this describes how the forms can be fixed. 

1. In JDeveloper, click the Source tab at the lower left corner of the form that has the error.  Read the complete article here.

Impact of ACM Implementation on BAM by Marcel van de Glind

September 4, 2017 Leave a comment

image

Recently I did a POC with BAM 12c at the customer. In a series of post’s I will describe my findings/experiences.
This is the first post in the series.

As a starting point we have the following situation:

We have an ACM composite consisting of a case with associated BusinessRule component and different BPM processes implemented as Case Activities. See figure below.

This is one single composite application. This means that there are two objects for BAM (‘VeryHugeCase Activity’ and ‘VeryHugeCase Process’) generated in the ‘Process Analytics’ project. Read the complete article here.

Invoking ACM from a Web Service by Aaron Dolan

September 3, 2017 Leave a comment

image

Invoking Oracle ACM from a web service call is not difficult but unfortunately is also not well documented.  I know … you’re shocked.

To explain this as simply as possible, let’s use a Loan Origination process as a prototypical ACM example to review the high-level steps.

In this 11g process example, we’re invoking ACM from a CRM system via a web service call.  The web service will invoke a BPEL process which does the following:

  • Creates the initial record in the application database
  • Creates the ACM payload object
  • Invokes the ACM startCase service

When you first see the request schema for the ACM startCase service, it can be intimidating because of its size.  The good news is that the vast majority of this schema is entirely optional.

The unfortunate thing is that a few of the optional elements actually are NOT optional.  The following is what you really need:

The caseHeader element only requires one child element, the ecmFolder, which must as least be present — even if it is empty (as shown in this example). Read the complete article here.

Integration Cloud Service Integration in Process Cloud Service by Antonis Antoniou

September 2, 2017 Leave a comment

image

A new integration connector has been introduced with the latest release of Oracle Process Cloud Service that enables Oracle Process Cloud Service applications to communicate directly with Oracle Integration Cloud Service.
This is a very important "architectural" feature since it encourages a solution topology that includes a virtualization layer, an integral "ingredient" in integrations to avoid point-to-point connections through decoupling and abstraction.
So let’s see how you can use the "ICS Connector" to connect to ICS and consume a SOAP endpoint.
The use case that I will use in this blog post is quite simple; I will call a "Hello World" ICS Service from an Oracle Process Cloud Service process utilizing the "ICS Connector".
I’ve already created "Hello World" synchronous SOA composite. The implementation is very simple. I’m just using an assign component with the "concat" function to assign a static text ("Hello ") and the input to the output element of my "Hello World" service.

My "Hello World" SOA service is deployed to Oracle SOA Cloud Service (SOA CS).

Moreover I’ve already virtualized the above service on Oracle Integration Cloud Service (ICS) by first creating a SOAP connection to my SOA CS service and then creating a basic map data integration that uses the SOAP connection as a trigger and an invoker, creating a basic data mapper for both request and response messages. Read the complete article here.
