· Oracle Partner Network (OPN) webinar replay: In “HCM Cloud UX Extensibility: Making The Mojo,” members of the Oracle Partner Network can learn how easy it is to make some UX mojo by extending the Oracle HCM Cloud. Longtime UX advocate Floyd Teter shares his wisdom and insights with the viewer. Starting with an overview of the strategy behind the HCM Cloud UX, viewers will then learn about extending that strategy to their own specific needs. From integrating a brand, logo and artwork to providing contextual information with infolets, learn to leverage the HCM Cloud UX to improve user adoption. Replay

· Partners, learn how to sell the Oracle SaaS User Experience: Get up to speed on the Oracle UX via the UX Guided Learning Path on the Oracle Partner Network with this course, Oracle Applications Cloud User Experience Implementation Specialist. This path helps Oracle Applications Cloud partners in sales and presales roles sell the cloud. It discusses Oracle’s UX investment in the cloud and offers guidance on positioning the benefits. This path is current through Release 11 and will soon be updated with R12. The updates only cover the difference, release to release, so it’s best to stay current with what’s coming.

· Partners, learn how to personalize the Cloud UX for customers: Learn about everything from customizing the appearance to integrating pages using PaaS4SaaS. Learn about key tools that help you package, preview, and publish customizations safely without affecting users in this guided learning path, Oracle Applications Cloud Extensibility Implementation Specialist. Understand how the simplified UI improves cloud extensibility while preserving the UX.

The OAUX team also takes this learning on the road for workshops with Oracle partners. Read about a recent workshop in the U.K. in this post, “Designing and Building Oracle PaaS Cloud Applications: Never the Same Experience Twice.”

IN NEW YORK: Oracle hosted its annual Cloud Analyst Summit for 35 industry analysts on Jan. 17 in New York. The OAUX team showcased Smart UX, one of the team’s key FY17 initiatives. (For more on that strategy and how keywords “automate, advise, and discover” fit in, read this post on the VoX blog.) Later in the day, Oracle Executive Vice President Steve Miranda gave a nod to the evolution of the Cloud Applications UX in his “Oracle SaaS Momentum and Roadmap” presentation. Analyst Dennis Howlett, from Diginomica, blogs about the presentation and the Oracle UX in this recent post.
A SPECIAL REQUEST: We’ve launched a new set of social channels that will focus on sharing the OAUX strategy and what drives the evolution you see in the Cloud UX. To keep up with what’s new, we encourage you to like and follow our new OAUX Facebook page and OAUX on Twitter.

This video shows how you can take advantage of collaboration capabilities to remove friction, spanning multiple systems in your enterprise by leveraging Oracle’s Process Cloud to share documents and Oracle’s Social Network Cloud to manage notifications. You will see a demonstration of how these capabilities can help remove the “friction” from the Engineering Change Process.

Oracle Cloud World – SaaS momentum continues by Den Howlett

November 23, 2017 Leave a comment

image

Oracle believes the current enterprise cloud wars are being fought at the application or SaaS level. This is an arguable position given that some commentators believe that Amazon dominates the cloud world by some orders of magnitude. More on that in a later story but for now I’m concentrating upon the momentum Oracle is gaining based upon the presentations we saw at Oracle Cloud World last week.

The journey

Oracle’s SaaS journey is now more than 10 years old. If that seems like a lifetime then you’d not be wrong but it gives an indication of just how hard it is to build well formed enterprise class applications. For its part, Oracle has faced numerous challenges but from what we saw and heard from customers, it is well on the road to fueling the all important pipeline that replaces the on-premises revenue with cloud subscriptions. This is far from trivial. Mark Hurd, co-CEO Oracle pegs the company’s SaaS revenue at 95% of all cloud revenue.

As we have come to expect, Steve Miranda, EVP Application Development at Oracle was bubbly and confident, bringing on customers who spoke freely about their experience, detailing developments and discussing the momentum behind Oracle SaaS apps. Read the complete article here.

BAM Data Objects by Marcel van de Glind

November 20, 2017 Leave a comment

image

In previous posts, I’ve focused on the components around BAM (starting with Impact of ACM Implementation on BAM). Now is will start with a number of posts that are related to the components of BAM. Hereby I will use the image below. The image comes from the BAM documentation of Oracle. This post will mainly be about Data objects.

A BAM data object models data for use within BAM. It contains the data to be monitored. The data can be saved in raw format in a database or in an external table. The data can also be a stream from an ongoing activity.

A data object is structured like a table, with columns and rows. A column can be one of these types:

  1. A measure column contains numeric data, such as procedure costs or case processing times.
  2. A dimension column contains data used to group or partition numeric data, such as departments or case type.
  3. An attribute column contains information that can be used for filtering or references, such as an ID or a timestamp.

A hierarchy is a set of dimension columns in a data object with a hierarchical relationship, such as Judicial system, Department, Team and Employee.

The following types of data objects exist:

  1. A simple data object is used as is. It can contain indexes and hierarchies, but no other column additions or modifications. It corresponds to a database view in the BAM database. Other data objects can use or refer to simple data objects.
  2. A derived data object extends a simple data object or another derived data object. It inherits the columns and hierarchies of the parent data object and adds its own columns. Read the complete article here.

BAM Database by Marcel van de Glind

November 19, 2017 Leave a comment

image

Recently I did a POC with BAM 12c at the customer. In a series of post’s I will describe my findings/experiences.
In the first post I described the initial situation (Impact of ACM Implementation on BAM). And in the second post I described the solutions we have recognised/examined to make Management Information (MI) available to the ACM implementation.

During this examination we also looked in detail to the BAM database. The relevant findings of this are described in this post.

In this description we begin from BAM. The Data Objects of the ACM case with associated Case Activities can be found in the processanalytics directory of BAM. See figure below.

The default Data Object ‘Activity ‘ looks like this.

Where it is about here is that there is a reference to the used database view (BEAM_VIEW_25). We also see that the ALIAS field is not filled in. In the following custom Data Object we see that there is an ALIAS filled in.

The filled in alias is the ‘Synonym’ of the view on the database. In the list below we see that there is a synonym on the database for beam_view_116 and for beam_view_25 that this is not the case. Read the complete article here.

PCS 17.1.3 leveraging ICS by Niall Commiskey

November 18, 2017 Leave a comment

image

Now we have even tighter integration between PCS and ICS. Together they provide us with an unbeatable process and integration platform.
Let’s start with a simple example –
Here is my ICS process – all it does is create an organization in Service Cloud.

Now to PCS – I can "register" my ICS environment in Workspace (Administration – Services).

Now to my process – this is a simple order process. The order comes from an organization.
A confirmation email is sent to the Org email address, once the order has been approved. Read the complete article here.

Migrating your Oracle BPM assets into Oracle Process Cloud Service (PCS) by Andre Boaventura

November 17, 2017 Leave a comment

image

If you are already an Oracle BPM user, it is likely that you might have heard or even ventured in its respective cloud version called Oracle Process Cloud Service (aka PCS). Essentially, Oracle PCS is a solution that enables you to rapidly design, automate, and manage business processes, as well as it is done with Oracle BPM, however the major advantage is that you can do everything in the cloud, without any concerns with infrastructure installation, setup and provisioning while keeping IT teams focused on high-value projects rather than endless tuning, monitoring, troubleshooting and workarounds, as regularly it is required to be done for on-premise projects, which in turn, allows you to focus on the business value of your solution, that is what really matters whenever we  talk about Business Process Management.

I have been working with several Oracle BPM customers in the last few years in my current role as Senior Principal Product Manager, and I have seen along these years, an increasing demand of Oracle customers wishing to move to cloud as soon as possible, given all the very known benefits that are spurring adoption such as lower costs, greater agility, improved responsiveness and better resource utilization among other technical and business drivers.

Also, there are lots of new customers that want to get started with a streamlined solution to model, design, implement, run and monitor their processes. Thus, as you can notice, Oracle PCS is the perfect match to address all of these customer requirements mentioned above. Read the complete article here.
