New Oracle Tech Simplifies Internet Of Things Deployments In The Field by Michael Hickins

July 2, 2018 Leave a comment

Oracle this week demonstrated new capabilities for its Internet of Things technology, which businesses can use to better manage their field equipment and assets as well as improve customer service performed by field technicians. Customers using the new capabilities have reported being able to deploy IoT into their workflows two to three times faster than before, according to Oracle executives who presented to a roomful of journalists at company headquarters in Redwood City, California.

Oracle

Oracle IoT Cloud Service lets operations managers monitor equipment and line status remotely.

Oracle is embedding IoT and data analytics technology into specific business applications running business operation workflows, such as those of Oracle CX Cloud (which includes sales, marketing, and customer service applications) and Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud (which addresses issues in factory maintenance).

Oracle’s IoT applications portfolio includes Oracle Cloud-based IoT asset monitoring, production monitoring, connected workers, and fleet monitoring applications. Read the complete article here.

Oracle SOA Suite and WebLogic: Overview of key and keystore configuration by Maarten Smeets

June 30, 2018 Leave a comment

Keystores and the keys within can be used for security on the transport layer and application layer in Oracle SOA Suite and WebLogic Server. Keystores hold private keys (identity) but also public certificates (trust). This is important when WebLogic / SOA Suite acts as the server but also when it acts as the client. In this blog post I’ll explain the purpose of keystores, the different keystore types available and which configuration is relevant for which keystore purpose.

Why use keys and keystores?

The below image (from here) illustrates the TCP/IP model and how the different layers map to the OSI model. When in the below elaboration, I’m talking about the application and transport layers, I mean the TCP/IP model layers and more specifically for HTTP.

The two main reasons why you might want to employ keystores are that

you want to enable security measures on the transport layer
you want to enable security measures on the application layer

Almost all of the below mentioned methods/techniques require the use of keys and you can imagine the correct configuration of these keys within SOA Suite and WebLogic Server is very important. They determine which clients can be trusted, how services can be called and also how outgoing calls identity themselves. Read the complete article here.

Enrich SaaS with PaaS hands-on training August 27th – August 31st 2018 in Lisbon Portugal

June 28, 2018 Leave a comment

You are working on Oracle SaaS implementations and want to integrate and extend them? Attend our two days hands-on training to understand how to use Oracle PaaS service like Integration Cloud Service, Mobile Cloud Service or Process Cloud Service in combination with Oracle SaaS solutions like Order management or Digital Field Service. The training is most suitable for developer and consultants with SaaS experience who want to learn more about PaaS.

Agenda

This session will introduce you to how to use Oracle PaaS services to extend SaaS. We will cover the following topics as part of hands on labs

· Create Procurement Order in ERP Cloud– In an increasing mobile first world, customers would like to use mobile exclusively for getting work done. In this use case you will be building mobile front end (Using MAX) to place orders in ERP cloud. The order will then go through appropriate approval process using Oracle Integration Cloud before order is being placed in ERP cloud. Oracle Integration Cloud also orchestrates order into ERP cloud. The same methodology can be used to talk to other ERP products as well. You will use Oracle Integration Cloud, Oracle Mobile Cloud Enterprise & ERP Cloud as part of this use case.

· Sales Cloud Extension using Visual Builder– This use case will cover how to extend the sales cloud using Visual Builder which is now part of Oracle Integration Cloud Service. Visual builder is used by citizen developers with no code experience. You will build an extension to Sales Cloud to allocate budget to opportunity using Visual Builder. The extension runs as a self-contained web application in Visual Builder. You will use Sales Cloud and Visual Builder bundled with Oracle Integration Cloud as part of this use case.

OPSS by Peter van Nes

June 27, 2018 Leave a comment

Since you have landed on this article, you will probably have at least heard about OPSS. OPSS is the underlying security platform that provides security to Oracle Fusion Middleware and its applications. OPSS provides an abstraction layer in the form of standards-based application programming interfaces (APIs) that insulate developers from security and identity management implementation details. To be honest, i never been able to fully understand the subject of the matter. There is documentation which states that OPSS provides security to Weblogic, which to my experience and understanding of OPSS is not correct. Instead, the Weblogic security providers and asserters can provide security to OPSS through the SPI. OPSS also should not be tied to a specific application server, which may be the general architecture, only architecture and daily practice may differ.

OPSS can provide security different security services like authentication, authorization, roles and entitlements, etc. These services are delivered by OPSS providers configured in the jps-config.xml. Read the complete article here.

Tips for Working with Stored Procedures in OSB 12c by Sonal Sharma

June 24, 2018 Leave a comment

During a recent engagement, I faced a few issues while creating a database adapter for a stored procedure in OSB 12.2.1.2. I wanted to share the detailed steps to create the database adapter, the issues I encountered and the resolution to those issues, in the hope that his may help other people, if they come across similar issues.

As SOA Suite 12c uses JDeveloper as the development environment for both SOA and OSB, it is worth noting that it is now possible to create the database adapter in the OSB project itself. The unified development environment provides a consistent approach for both SOA and OSB, unlike the previous approach, where we needed to import the JCA and corresponding files in Eclipse.
