Process Automation with Process Cloud Service (PCS) – Part 2 (Forms) by Daniel Teixeira

June 5, 2021 Leave a comment

In the previous post I created a simple business process, but with no real implementation details. It was just a framework.

Now, I will show how to create a Form to start the Process. Remember that there are many ways of stating a process, but for this case the Form is the way to go.

How to Create a Form

You can create a Form from two different places.

  1. The Form Menu on the left side. (left pic)
  2. From within the Form properties in the Model. (right pic)

With this first option you can choose to create a new Form from within PCS, or to bring an ExternalUI – from VBCS for example.

The second has the advantage of assigning the form directly to the process activity. Read the complete article here.

Process Automation with Process Cloud Service (PCS) – Part 1 by Daniel Teixeira

June 3, 2021 Leave a comment

Earlier in my career I worked extensively with a Business Process Management (BPM) software called Cordys (meanwhile acquired by OpenText). Had a couple of trainings on BEA Aqualogic BPM Suite (now Oracle). Later on, while working for TIBCO I had several trainings and a bit of project experience with their BPM solution.

Most of the BPM concepts are familiar to me, but over the years they became quite rusty So this is a good time to dive a bit more into a component of the Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC). I am talking about the Process Cloud Service (PCS), and this will be a series of posts dedicated to exploring PCS capabilities!

Somehow BPM seems to be out of use nowadays and Process Automation became the trendy designation!

The Concepts

Processes are based on BPM Notation (BPMN) – https://www.bpmn.org/

“A standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) will provide businesses with the capability of understanding their internal business procedures in a graphical notation and will give organizations the ability to communicate these procedures in a standard manner. “

The Use Case

In the upcoming posts I will work out a very simple, yet relatable, use case.

A process to manage an employee vacation request .

Granted, if you are self employed this makes no sense, but if you work for a company with a couple hundred or thousands of employees, then the need to manage this process becomes obvious.

Departments/Teams internal planning may require a process to manage this, and on top of that, they may have some business rules that need to be implemented ( example: an entire team cannot take vacations at the same time). Read the complete article here.

Helpful Suggestions in setting up SOA suite on Containers by Arun Ganesan

June 2, 2021 Leave a comment

image

Oracle SOA Suite On Containers was released by Oracle recently. Here is the quick start guide on how to setup a SOA Suite environment in Kubernetes.

Below are some of the helpful suggestions that might be useful while performing the setup as in the quick start guide above.

Unable to pull Weblogic Kubernetes Operator :

Weblogic Kubernetes Operator image is available at ghcr.io.  Below is a sample command:

docker pull ghcr.io/oracle/weblogic-kubernetes-operator:3.0.1

SOA Suite Image Location:

The SOA Suite image can be installed from two different locations.

First option is to use Oracle Support repository. This is the only version supported for production deployments and also has the latest patch set. More info can be found here. The other options is to use Oracle Container Registry – use this only for development, test environments and not for prod. Read the complete article here.

Piloting Your Digital Transformation Journey through Modernization by Ravi Pinto

May 31, 2021 Leave a comment

image

As organizations evaluate Digital Transformation and consequently, SOA Modernization as part of that exercise, my colleague, Perren Walker, has put together some thoughts that I wanted to share with you. He has penned them in context the aerospace industry. I am sure you will glean some pearls of wisdom here.

What does aerospace have to teach us about cost-effective IT modernization?

In my mind, there are many similarities between aerospace platforms and IT systems, not the least both are capital intensive and can experience rapid technological obsolescence. Yet, Boeing has flown an airplane from 1955, some 66 years, and it is expected to fly beyond 2050. How has Boeing been able to continuously modernize an aircraft with such longevity, while remaining a state-of-the-art platform and the best economic choice? 

We’ve selected Boeing’s avionics platform because Oracle SOA Suite customers are looking to achieve similar business returns with their Integration investments. When we look closely, there are 4 parallels between Boeing’s aircraft and Oracle SOA Suite customers, who are driving platform modernization:

  1. An extensible, re-configurable architecture

With SOA Suite containerization[1], customers can easily configure SOA Suite’s architecture to easily run in the cloud, on-premise or in a hybrid configuration.  This protects your investment in existing integrations, while SOA modernization can take place with Oracle Integration. Read the complete article here.

In this blog, We shall talk about Token Based Authentication(TBA) which is one of the security policies supported by NetSuite adapter in Oracle Integration.

If you want to use token-based authentication with the Oracle NetSuite Adapter, You should have the following information that is required for creating a connection.

  • Consumer key
  • Consumer secret
  • Token
  • Token secret
  • Account ID

And to use Token Based Authentication (TBA), you need to complete the tasks given below in the NetSuite application.

  1. Enable Token-Based Authentication
  2. Create Integration record
  3. Create a Role and assign to a User
  4. Create an Access Token for the Integration record, User, and Role
  5. NetSuite Account ID.

Let us go through the below steps and get the values required for us to create a connection using NetSuite adapter in Oracle Integration.

1. Enable Token-Based Authentication

Go to Setup in NetSuite application > Company > Enable Features > Click the SuiteCloud subtab –> Under Manage Authentication section, check the TOKEN-BASED AUTHENTICATION (Please note that the features Client SuiteScript and Server SuiteScript must also be enabled to use token-based authentication with RESTlets, If it is not enabled, please enable).
