Extending Oracle HCM with Oracle Application Builder Cloud Service – It’s Simple by Shay Shmeltzer

image

I blogged before showing how easy it is to extend Oracle Sales Cloud using Oracle Application Builder Cloud Service.

We do get a lot of customers of Oracle HCM that approach us asking if they can use the same tools to extend Oracle HCM apps. While Oracle Application Builder Cloud Service (ABCS) has the list of Oracle Sales Cloud services pre-populated in the service catalog , you can pretty easily connect ABCS to Oracle HCM services too and get data and build an application around this data.

In the video demo below I’m building an application that records the details of the cars employees are allowed to bring onto campus. I leverage a REST service exposed by Oracle HCM to get the list of employees. ABCS also automates querying using the same service so you can search for a specific employee.

ABCS lets me create an app with the same look and feel as Oracle SaaS displaying the specific fields that interest me in the specific layout I want. Further more I can add custom data object that tracks the details of the cars and associate it with the HCM data. Read the complete article here.

BAMCommand by Marcel van de Glind

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 of this series I described the initial situation (Impact of ACM Implementation on BAM). This post ended up with the following challenge.

We have a ACM Case consisting of about thirty Case Activities. The Case and the individual Case Activities are housed in a private composite (1 + ~30 composites).

Challenge: How can we group/filter in BAM by ‘specific’ metrics that are present in each Composite. For example ‘Department’.

In the second post Filtering/grouping in BAM by ‘specific’ metrics (explored solutions) I have 10 recognized/examined solutions appointed for this challenge.

In this post I will cover the functionalities of BAMCommand that I have used in the implementation/rollout of the EMS configuration (Populating BAM using JMS).

But first, what is BAMCommand?

BAMCommand is the command-line utility to export, import, migrate, clear, and delete BAM metadata, data, and project artifacts.
You can find BAMCommand in the directory ‘FMW_HOME/STD/bam/bin’. By calling BAMCommand without parameters gives you an overview of the possibilities. This overview is shown below: Please read the complete the article here.

In the second post Filtering/grouping in BAM by ‘specific’ metrics (explored solutions) I have 10 recognized/examined solutions appointed for this challenge. In this post one of these solutions (number 10) is further developed.

I will describe an implementation of how to populate BAM via a JMS queue. In a nutshell: we have the following situation:
An ACM Case Management composite (CASE A) with the Case Activities implemented in external BPM processes (Proces 1,2 and 3). The humantask metrics are available in BAM via the ‘default’ channel. For other metrics the composites have to send events. These events are catched by the Event Handling Service. This service puts them on the JMS Queue BAM uses as input source. Graphically represented: Read the complete article here.

‘Use of a dummy Data Object based on the generic format supplemented by the generic custom indicators. This for both activity and process’ data. Customizing the generated dummy view on the database by merging the various generated views we more or less fool BAM.’

Create Dummy Data Object

We start by making a ‘dummy’ data object in BAM. This data object is based on the generic activity data object. Read the complete article here.
