OFM Summer Camps 2015: Simplify Integration with ICS and SOA Suite CS by Cattle Crew

 

image At this year’s Oracle Fusion Middleware Summer Camps in Lisbon (see also the post from our colleague Mohammed Esad-Djou) four Opitz consultants were attending the “Hybrid Integration with Integration Cloud Service, SOA Suite Cloud Service and SOA 12c” track. With this post we want to give you a short overview of the topics that have been covered within this week.

Let’s start with a recap of the main topic of our track, the Integration Cloud Service (ICS). With ICS Oracle offers cloud to cloud and cloud to on premise integration flows which can be developed very easily and quickly directly in the browser.  There are even recommendations on the most common data mappings to render the integrations as easy as possible. From our perspective it’s a great tool to quickly deliver Software as a service (SaaS) solutions which are not too complex: at the moment only point to point connections can be implemented. But there is also the option of an additional enrichment call in order to get more details into the data mapping.

More complex integrations in the cloud can be handled using the SOA Suite Cloud Service (SOA Suite CS) which provides its users with the whole set of SOA Suite’s capabilities. Users can either configure their SOA Suite and / or OSB on a single node “environment” or in a clustered mode. SOA Suite CS is not released yet but will be available pretty soon. Especially for smaller companies it might be an interesting approach to directly start working with SOA without having to invest in hardware and licenses first. The browser-based development can start without the need of special tools or elaborated configurations, so the expenditure can be invested in the product itself right from the beginning. Read the complete article here.

Video on Using Force Commit for Non-Idempotent Activities in BPM 12c by Jaideep

 

clip_image002In BPM 11g it was not possible to explicitly ask the engine to dehydrate the bpm process instance state. The only way to do this was to model a timer catch event set to one second or longer. Oracle BPM 12c has introduced a new property for activities called ‘Force Commit after execution’ to enable us to do this. This video is an excerpt from one of our Oracle BPM Training courses which explains why this property is important especially when you have Non-Idempotent activities in your process.

BPM 12c Events (Part 2 of 3): End Events by Antonis Antoniou

 

clip_image002End events define how a process should finish and just like with start events, processes can have more than one end event.

As you can see from the sample process below, we are provided with a plethora of end events that include a “None End” event, a “Message Send” event, a “Signal” event and a “Terminate End” and “Error End” event.

The “None End” event is the default end event in a manual and reusable process and as it’s name implies, it is used when your process doesn’t need to perform any action upon completion. When all process instance tokens reach the “None End” event, the instance is completed.

The "Message End" event, as the name implies, will send a message before an instance completion and is especially useful when you want to trigger another process or instance. The "Message End" event has one unique particularity, it can only be used with either a message start event or a message catch event.

The "Signal Event" will publish a signal before completion.

The "Terminate End" is used to terminate, immediately, without any error handling, a process.

The "Error End" will throw an error before completion. This type of end event is used most commonly in subprocesses to trigger an exception to a main process.

Let’s see how you can use these end events in practice.
Create the basic BPM application and BPM project (named both application and project "EndEventsDemo") and select "Composite with BPMN Process" in step 3. Read the complete article here.
