Value of Technical Capability Models by Phil Wilkins

July 28, 2019 Leave a comment

The use of Technical Capability models is not something I have seen a lot of use of, which is a little unfortunate as they can provide tremendous insight into an organizations IT needs.

Typically you want to use the Technical capability model to be used in conjunction with a business capability model, and this is where things can get tricky as developing the business views can take time.  I came across this short video which focuses on the more business aspect but helps explain the ideas behind the models:

Note how the model is largely groups of capabilities that happen in the business. Underlying this kind of diagram you would have a brief explanation of each capability.  If you want to go all out on EA modelling then you can link the capabilities to the documented associated processes etc.

Independently, the ideal is to then identify the technical capabilities that are likely to be needed. This will provide a similar looking model. The technical capabilities are probably best drawn from industry best practices, and specific business needs. The model should be completely product agnostic. The real value comes in by then mapping the technical capabilities to which business capabilities use. Read the complete article here

5 Easy Ways To Determine If Your Company Needs Blockchain by Lisa M. Schwartz

July 27, 2019 Leave a comment

Blockchain, the cloud-based distributed ledger, is one of the hottest emerging business technologies. But how do you know if your company needs to create or join one?

To help you make that decision, you and your organization should ask (and answer) the following five basic questions:

1. Are we ready to lead a blockchain initiative, one that spans an industry or even multiple industries?

Blockchains provide a shared, immutable, secure record of transactions across a business network, so embarking upon a blockchain project will require your commitment to a process that goes beyond your own organization or business—“going big,” so to speak.

For example, a global shipping management company is going big with a blockchain to simplify the documentation process among ocean carriers, truckers, customs agencies, and logistics providers, projecting a 60% reduction in the time required to collect and confirm data from multiple parties.  One federal government—working with banks, customs, food and drug administration officials, and other organizations—is using blockchain to identify counterfeit goods and prevent fraudulent customs activity. To prevent contamination, large and small enterprises across food industry supply chains are exploring blockchain to verify and prove that food is safe at every stage, from point of origin to distribution, from point of sale to consumption.

Oracle rolls out blockchain-based business apps By Lucas Mearian

July 26, 2019 Leave a comment

image

Oracle has announced a suite of SaaS applications based on its Oracle Blockchain Cloud Service for the purpose of tracing and tracking supply chains through a transparent distributed ledger.

The four new cloud-based apps, unveiled at Oracle’s OpenWorld conference this week, are aimed at providing end-to-end traceability of transported goods, confirming the origins of the parts that make up those products and creating an auditable log for warranty and liability claims. One application, an intelligent "cold chain" service, tracks temperature-controlled products in a supply chain, such as pharmaceuticals and food, integrating with IoT devices embedded in those shipments. Read the complete article here.

Recursion in XSLT by Martien van den Akker

July 24, 2019 Leave a comment

image

Last week I helped someone on the Oracle community forums with transforming a comma separated string to a list of elements. He needed this to process each element in BPM Suite, but it is a use case that can come around in SOA Suite or even in Oracle Integration Cloud.
You would think that you could do something like a for-each and trimming the element from the variable.

Recursion

One typical thing with XSLT is that variables are immutable. That means that you can declare a variable and assign a value to it, but you cannot change it. So it is not possible to assign a new value to a variable based on a substring of that same variable.
To circumvent this, you should implement a template that conditionally calls itself until an end-condition is met. This is a typical algorithm called recursion. Recursion is a way of implementing a function that calls itself, for example to calculate the faculty of a number. Recursion can help circumventing the immutability of variables, because with every call to the function you can pass (a) calculated and thus different value(s) through the parameter(s).
I wrote about this earlier, but last week a co-worker asked a similar question, but just the other way around: transforming a list into a comma separated string. So, apparently it’s time to write an article about it. Read the complete article here.

UiPath OIC Connector

July 23, 2019 Leave a comment

image

Oracle Integration Cloud is finalizing its work of a UiPath specific adapter that allows Oracle Integration Cloud service subscribers to connect to a UiPath Orchestrator.

Oracle Integration Cloud allows dispatching UiPath RPA Processes via UiPath’s public REST API. Oracle offers bi-directional communication between Oracle Integration Cloud and UiPath RPA solution. When Oracle Integration Cloud consumes developed and deployed UiPath RPA processes, Oracle Integration Cloud can use UiPath’s public REST APIs to orchestrate the dispatching of RPA Processes via a UiPath Robot in an unattended manner. Oracle Integration Cloud is also finalizing its work of a UiPath adapter that encapsulates all the logic and internal technical details to natively discover, configure and dispatch the execution of RPA robots in an unattended manner.

UiPath can also take advantage of the Integration and Process Automation capabilities in Oracle Integration Cloud, as when there are issues during the execution of RPA processes by the robots, often times, an escalation to a human is needed in exception based conditions. Oracle Integration Cloud offers human workflow capabilities that can help streamline these situations where people is needed. Oracle Integration Cloud offers public REST APIs to easily enable this connectivity. Get the connector here. For additional information please see here.

I define my input as follows –

So now to the 2 simple rules –

IF/THEN rule and a Decision Table –

The rules are self-explanatory.
I want to expose these as 2 separate services –

I now Activate -Back in the Process App –

Now I drop a Decision Activity in my process –

Very succinct! Now all I need to do is the data mapping –

The Curious Case of Missing Port Type in Oracle PCS by Arun Pareek

July 21, 2019 Leave a comment

image

I was recently working on a simple process in PCS for a license approval flow. Given the purists that I am, I began by defining definitions for the various message based activities used in the process flow. The process was an asynchronous process with a few intermediate events. A simplified snippet is shown here for visualization.

In order to implement the above process, I created a service definition (WSDL) with the following schematic. As you can notice, there is a portType for accepting requests into the process (fc.myst.bp.TestDrive) and a callback portType for sending messages out of the process (fc.myst.bp.TestDrive.CallBack). Each of the portTypes have operations for catch and throw messages respectively. Read the complete article here.

The power of Oracle Event Driven Architecture by Roger van de Kimmenade

July 20, 2019 Leave a comment

image

Introduction

There is a lot of hype around Microservices and the use of events for implementing the choreography pattern. However this is nice for companies like Netflix and Twitter, but there are a lot of organisations still struggling with files and ESB like products. Also my current client uses an ESB namely the Oracle SOA Suite 12c for integrations. We cannot just throw away this ESB, but we can make use of the event mechanism built in. This blog describes the way we use the EDN (Event Delivery Network) component, that is used within SOA composites to throw events and to subscribe on events.

EDN

Oracle has a component that you can use to publish events and to subscribe on events within a SOA composite. Just use the invoke activity with the eventname and the content of the event. Within a composite you can subscribe on events and set filters. You can also configure “oneAndOnlyone” consistency property and indicate if you want a durable or non-durable subscriber. The EDN hides the underlying JMS provider, which can be changed (weblogic jms or OracleAQ). Separate Topics can be defined for each event or just use 1 topic for all events.

Notes:

  • Applications must always be abstracted by a corresponding SOA Composite. Applications should not use JMS directly
  • EDN cannot be used directly from within Oracle OSB
  • Read the complete article here.
