Oracle BlockChain Service: creating a smart contract aka how to write a chaincode by Lonneke Dikmans

image

In the first blog about blockchain, I used Oracle Compute Cloud Classic and installed MultiChain on it. Since then, Oracle has released a Blockchain Cloud Service with a lot of out of the box functionality, based on Hyperledger.
In this blog post I will describe how to create a smart contract for a webshop use case: getting offers from different suppliers for a specific order. I already know node.js so I will write the ChainCode in node. Note that go is also supported.

Prerequisites
  • A running instance of Oracle Blockchain Service
  • Node.js installed on your laptop

There are a number of steps involved in writing a smart contract (or chaincode).

  1. Design the chaincode
  2. Write a chaincode (in Node)
  3. Deploy a ChainCode to a Peer
  4. Test the chaincode with Postman
Design

Before you write a chaincode, you need to know what transactions need to be supported. In our example we have a webshop, that issues requests for shipping after ordering an item. Shippers can create an offer. If they are selected by the customer, they pickup the shipment. The customer receives the goods at the end of the cycle. For more information about designing the chaincode, see the hyperledger documentation. Read the complete article here

Arab Jordan Investment Bank in Production with Oracle Blockchain by Mary Hall

image

Arab Jordan Investment Bank (AJIB) is now in production with the Oracle Blockchain Platform.  The project is the largest blockchain deployment in the Middle East.   AJIB deployed Oracle Blockchain Platform to replace the banking application previously used for money transfers between AJIB entities, resulting in cost-savings and real-time cross-border transactions.

Results before and after using blockchain technology

Before using blockchain, money transfers between Arab Jordan Investment Bank (AJIB)  subsidiaries were achieved by using third-party intermediaries.  These intermediaries charged fees at each stage of a cross-border transfer transaction.   In addition to the additional fees, using theses intermediaries made it necessary for the bank to  share some customer information with third parties.  Sharing this type of information involved compliance with strict regulatory requirements. AJIB aimed at reducing the costs and the time required for cross-border payments, while making the entire process more secure and efficient.

With Oracle Blockchain, AJIB is now able to make the same transfers in real-time without paying the transactions fees for each transaction to third party intermediaries. Senders and receivers can now  track money transfers while the funds are in transit, providing transparency to both parties about the exact timing and amount of the transfer.

Oracle Integration has the best of breed RSO (Robotic Service Orchestration) support by Nicolas Damonte

image

But before justifying it, let’s start by explaining what RSO is and the differences with RPA.

The What …

RSO (Robotic Service Orchestration) is basically managing bots in the context of a business process, just like they would manage people.

RPA (Robotic Process Automation) enables the automation of manual tasks using UI Scrapping technologies. The value proposition is using bots to perform repetitive manual tasks (like data entry) mainly on legacy systems (with no APIs).

The Difference …

RPA was designed to performs tasks, not to manage end to end services.
RSO is about end to end services, managing their full orchestration and fostering a continuous improvement lifecycle.

The Justification …

SOA Suite 12c upgrade – Composite DVMs by Martien van den Akker

image

Today I found something curious in a composite upgraded from 11g to 12c, regarding DVMs. I sometimes use DVMs in BPEL to prevent the use of complex xpath expressions with many conditions. For instance, if I need to know if a JMSType is in a certain range and if it is I need to continue, I can create a DVM that has those JVMTypes correlated to an indicator.

Now, in 12c we have a new project structure. Where in 11g, about every component is in the root of the project, in 12c those are moved to a subfolder. That is, if you would create a new project:

Folder like xsd, wsdl, xsl in 11g are renated to Schemas, WSDLs and Transformations in 12c. We decided to refactor the upgraded projects to the new structure in 12c. So our BPEL processes are moved to the BPEL subfolder. This means that when referencing a transformation (xsl) you would adapt your xslt functions as: Read the complete article here.

Moving SOA to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure by Robert Wunderlich

image

Many customers are running their workloads on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic (OCI-C), but the new Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers compelling benefits that customers should consider moving their workloads to the “gen 2 cloud“.  Additionally if the customer is not yet running SOA 12.2.1.3 or above, now is an ideal time to make the move.

A SOA implementation is typically large and serves mission critical requirements.  This means that a “side-by-side” migration is the best approach.  At a high-level the process is as follows:

  • Discover/map the existing OCI-C deployment.  Oracle provides a set of tools to help in migrating workloads to OCI.  You can learn more about this at Upgrade to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
  • Branch your SOA projects: SOA projects can be deployed into a new environment and they will be upgraded on the deployment.  However, a better approach is to branch your version control and upgrade the projects in JDeveloper.  You can then validate the project to catch any potential issues. Read the complete article here.
