Learn about UX highlights in Release 10

 

The Oracle Applications User Experience (OAUX) team is shifting its focus to the second part of our “simplicity, mobility, extensibility” story for Release 10. The linchpin to that part of the story? Increasing the participation of users. We know that if users don’t find value in the application, they won’t use it, which could cost customers time and money. Check out the posts below for more on the user experience highlights in each product family:

Release 10 highlights include a gorgeously updated, consistent, mobility-focused user experience, even more ways to make the experience look like your company for your users, seamless customization with our UI developer toolkit, and an ongoing investment in refining, adding to, and updating the experience based on customer feedback. Read about the Oracle OpenWorld 2015 perspective on these benefits in “Oracle Banks on CX Cloud Verticals.” For more highlights of Oracle HCM Cloud Release 10, see this video.

STRATEGY: On Forbes.com, check the Oracle Voice blog for “5 Best Practices In Application User Experience” to read takeaways from OAUX Vice President Jeremy Ashley’s OpenWorld presentations. Ashley is also quoted in “Digital Disruption: Hype And Sensibility,” where he talks about the cloud and the simplicity needed for user experience design.

HCM CLOUD: What does “user experience” mean in the Oracle HCM Cloud? Aylin Uysal, Oracle Senior Director, HCM Cloud User Experience, discusses Oracle’s strategy and approach to defining the user experience for Oracle’s HCM Cloud on HCM Talk Radio, a podcast in which experts and guests share the latest in HCM Cloud best practices and knowledge.

BPM Suite 12c Server using Ansible by Christos Vezalis

clip_image001

This article describes a way to automate the installation of Oracle BPM 12.2.1 on Linux 7 server. I’m using Ansible to automate the configuration of Linux server and install the software. I’m also using Vagrant with Oracle Virtual Box to automatically provision a Linux 7 server and run the Ansible playbook on the virtual machine automatically for testing.
You can download the sample code in my GitHub account: https://github.com/cvezalis/ansible.oracle.bpm.12c

The sample source code contains an Ansible playbook and configuration for Vagrant. Before you run it you need to download the supported JDK 8 installation file (for example jdk-8u66-linux-x64.tar.gz) and put it on roles/linux-jdk/files folder, Fusion Middleware Infrastructure 12.2.1 installation file and put it on roles/fmw-software/files folder and Oracle BPM suite 12.2.1 installation and put it on roles/soa-software/files from Oracle support.
You need to have an Oracle Database up and running. If you do not have one or you want to create one with Ansible you can use my playbook for Oracle Database. Links are at the end of this article.
For run it you need to have installed Ansible, Vagrant and Virtual Box and then just do:
$ vagrant up
Playbook is idempotent so you can run it again in the same server several times to have your server in the expected status.
You can configure your infrastructure parameters on infra-vars.yml. As minimum (if you do not use my ansible playbook for create the database) you need to configure the database connection settings.
You can also set custom passwords on secrets.yml file. For oracle Linux user you need to set the password encrypted. On a Linux system use the following to create the encrypted password: Read the complete article here.

Talk to your UI from your BPM process by Fernando

clip_image002

A few weeks back we had the opportunity to participante in an 12c challenge which had lots of different flavours (BPM, Coherence, ADF, etc.) and some very strict performance requirements.

Scenario

In this solution, an operator would be logged on to an ADF application showing different regions, with one particular region that would update as the BPM instance progressed through the different human tasks in the process. The team had opted for a simple solution to find out when a BPM instance had reached a human task: to poll the engine until a task was found.

The problem

Polling the engine could be a solution if the instance load was low but the objective was to handle thousands of short-lived instances in parallel, which would overload the engine with queries. In addition, there was the issue of having to wait an interval which resulted in additional time loss.

As with most push/pull cases, the ideal would be to approach the problem from the other side of the fence: instead of polling for events, pushing them from the BPMN process and reacting to these from the UI side.

For the first part, emitting events when the BPM tasks arrives at a human task would be straight-forward: the Human Workflow API provides a series of callback events that can be used, with the onAssigned event being the one to use. Therefore, the remaining question was how to receive and process events on the ADF side.

The solution

From the requirements, we needed a way to react when an event was received. This immediately lead to using JavaScript, as it is well supported in ADF. The only question left was what type of event to receive.

The answer lies in a new Weblogic 12c "native" feature: web-sockets (we can use web-sockets in 11g using Jersey as well). JavaScript can handle opening new sockets and listening for messages.

We developed a Web Socket application that would enable a server endpoint for every BPM instance (remember these are short-lived instances, thus there is no risk of running out of resources).

As the ADF app was responsible for creating BPM instances with a correlation key, it connected to the server endpoint using that very same key, effectively establishing a direct connection to the endpoint with its own channel.

On the server side, every onAssigned event that would be received by the human task callback class would publish a new message to the endpoint (using the same correlation key, in this case exposed as a public attribute in the human task) which in turn would be relayed by the server to the ADF UI. Read the complete article here.

BPM and BPMN: A Concise Explanation by Mark Hearon

clip_image002

If you are reading this blog post, chances are you noticed the title and thought, “At last, a concise explanation of BPM and BPMN.  This is going to be great!”  It is not likely (however possible) that we may both be sorry by the end of our time together.  Consuming my reader’s digest explanation of BPM and BPMN may be as challenging as distilling the subject into short form!

Am I crazy?  Absolutely.  Are you crazy?  That all depends on whether you just answered that question aloud for others in the office to hear.  Regardless, fear not; this former public educator has your back.  Also, if you happen to be researching BPM and BPMN for the first time, consider this post a primer for further exploration.  To delve deeper, feel free to drop your questions and comments below.  I would be happy to reply.

What is BPM?

Business process mapping exists as a way of visually representing the processes of an enterprise for analysis.  Such analysis can reveal patterns of inefficiency that cost corporations a fortune in lost time and opportunity.  BPM is a codified method for improving business processes leading to greater efficacy and profit.

The bottom line: business process mapping pictorially delineates how work is accomplished in an organization. 

What is BPMN?

Business process modeling notation (which when complete can appear as anything from a benign diagram to a Tim Burton impression of Charlotte’s Web) is the pictographic language utilized to achieve the aforementioned BPM task.  Although a process map may delineate a highly-sophisticated business procedure, it can also be used to reflect simple processes.  This requires that BPMN be a flexible method of notating business processes.  The end result is a language that is relatively limited in scope and easy to apprehend.  The following may be considered the four (4) basic “words” of the BPMN language. Read the complete article here.
