Understanding API Deployment State on API Platform by Phil Wilkins

October 25, 2018 Leave a comment

The new Oracle API Platform makes it possible to deploy different versions of your APIs to different gateway instances. When you you’re managing the Development API Policies through all the different stages of the lifecycle (Design to Production) from a single management tier such a capability is essential. This is further challenged by the fact that each save of you API Definition creates a new iteration (the term used to identify each saved ‘version’ of the API)

However it does lead the challenge from a management perspective of knowing which iterations are running on each Gateway. You can get the information from the current UI but it requires multiple steps to get the information. The UI also lends itself more to the design processes today than perhaps the more dense information views that an operational report might warrant.

I’m sure that over time these views will come, but today we can solve the problem by taking advantage of the fact that the product lives by its own ‘mission’ by offering a very rich set of APIs. As a result it becomes possible to actually build your own views. To that end I have written a Groovy script which will go through each API that can be seen and retrieves the iteration deployed to each logical gateway. Read the complete article here.

10 reasons NOT to implement Blockchain now by Maarten Smeets

October 20, 2018 Leave a comment

image 

A secure distributed ledger with smart contract capabilities not requiring a bank as an intermediary! Also a single source of truth with complete traceability. Definitely something we want! Blockchain technology promises to make this possible. Blockchain became famous through cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The technology could also be considered to replace B2B functionality. With new technologies it is not a bad idea to look at pro’s and con’s before starting an implementation. Blockchain is the new kid on the block and there is not much experience yet on how well he will play with others and will mature. In this blog I summarize some of my concerns concerning blockchain of which I hope will be solved in due time.

Regarding new/emerging technologies in the integration space, I’m quite open to investigate the potential value which they can offer. I’m a great proponent of for example Kafka, the highly scalable streaming platform and Docker to host microservices. However, I’ve been to several conferences and did some research online regarding blockchain and I’m sceptical. I definitely don’t claim to be an expert on this subject so please correct me if I’m wrong! Also, this is my personal opinion. It might deviate from my employers and customers views.

Most of the issues discussed here are valid for public blockchains. Private blockchains are of course more flexible since they can be managed by companies themselves. You can for example more easily migrate private blockchains to a new blockchain technology or fix issues with broken smart contracts. These do require management tooling, scripts and enough developers / operations people around your private blockchain though. I don’t think it is a deploy and go solution just yet.

1 Immutable is really immutable!

A pure public blockchain (not taking into account sidechains and off chain code) is an immutable chain. Every block uses a hashed value of the previous block in its encryption. You cannot alter a block which is already on the chain. This makes sure things you put on the chain cannot suddenly appear or disappear. There is traceability. Thus you cannot accidentally create money for example on a distributed ledger (unless you create immutable smart contracts to provide you with that functionality). Security and immutability are great things but they require you to work in a certain way we are not that used to yet. For example, you cannot cancel a confirmed transaction. You have to do a new transaction counteracting the effects of the previous one you want to cancel. Read the complete article here.

BPM 12.2.1.3: Exception when deploying BPM project with Human tasks by Martien van den Akker

October 19, 2018 Leave a comment

image

This week I deliver a BPM 12c Workshop, that I based on the 12.2.1.3 BPM QuickStart. When the students worked on the lab on Human Workflow, they hit an error deploying the Composite, where in the log you can find something like:

Apparently in the repository of 12.2.1.3 a column is missing in the Workflow Metadata table.
Luckily, I stumbled upon a question in the community.oracle.com forum that hit this ‘bug’ as well; and provided a solution. You need to do an alter table to resolve this:

1

ALTER TABLE SOAINFRA.WFTASKMETADATA ADD PACKAGENAME varchar (200);

The smart guy that provided the answer, used a separate Database UI tool. But fortunately, JDeveloper is perfectly capable to provide you de means as well.
First open the Resource Pallette in JDeveloper. Make sure that you have started your Integrated WebLogic already (since that will run the DerbyDB.
Then in the Resource Pallette, create a new Database Connection: Read the complete article here.

Jarvis Pizzeria: Creating a Custom Tasklist for PCS by Richard Olrichs & Marcel van de Glind & Marc Kuijpers

October 18, 2018 Leave a comment

image 

So within Process Cloud Service (PCS) we have already shown the tasklist a couple of times. This is the default tasklist that comes with the product. You can use the left hand side filters and handle the actions in the tasks within the task screens.

However, as with all of the ‘one-size-fits-all’ solutions, the tasklist might not be exactly what you need for your organisation or use-case. In this case it is good to know, that you can create your own custom tasklist.

This compares to what we see at customers using BPM Suite on premises. We use a lot of features from BPM, but usually not the Worklist/Workspace that comes out of the box with BPM. Since there is an SOAP API to call your tasks, it is quite easy to talk to this API and create your custom tasklist in the on-premises world.

For PCS, we do not have SOAP APIs, but we do have REST APIs, if there is any need to create a custom tasklist, you can use these APIs to; Start an application, query for tasks, query for task details, handle the payload or outcome and much more. Read the complete article here.
