Oracle rolls out blockchain-based business apps By Lucas Mearian

Oracle has announced a suite of SaaS applications based on its Oracle Blockchain Cloud Service for the purpose of tracing and tracking supply chains through a transparent distributed ledger.

The four new cloud-based apps, unveiled at Oracle’s OpenWorld conference this week, are aimed at providing end-to-end traceability of transported goods, confirming the origins of the parts that make up those products and creating an auditable log for warranty and liability claims. One application, an intelligent "cold chain" service, tracks temperature-controlled products in a supply chain, such as pharmaceuticals and food, integrating with IoT devices embedded in those shipments.

Recursion in XSLT by Martien van den Akker

July 24, 2019 Leave a comment

image

Last week I helped someone on the Oracle community forums with transforming a comma separated string to a list of elements. He needed this to process each element in BPM Suite, but it is a use case that can come around in SOA Suite or even in Oracle Integration Cloud.
You would think that you could do something like a for-each and trimming the element from the variable.

Recursion

One typical thing with XSLT is that variables are immutable. That means that you can declare a variable and assign a value to it, but you cannot change it. So it is not possible to assign a new value to a variable based on a substring of that same variable.
To circumvent this, you should implement a template that conditionally calls itself until an end-condition is met. This is a typical algorithm called recursion. Recursion is a way of implementing a function that calls itself, for example to calculate the faculty of a number. Recursion can help circumventing the immutability of variables, because with every call to the function you can pass (a) calculated and thus different value(s) through the parameter(s).
I wrote about this earlier, but last week a co-worker asked a similar question, but just the other way around: transforming a list into a comma separated string. So, apparently it’s time to write an article about it. Read the complete article here.

UiPath OIC Connector

July 23, 2019 Leave a comment

image

Oracle Integration Cloud is finalizing its work of a UiPath specific adapter that allows Oracle Integration Cloud service subscribers to connect to a UiPath Orchestrator.

Oracle Integration Cloud allows dispatching UiPath RPA Processes via UiPath’s public REST API. Oracle offers bi-directional communication between Oracle Integration Cloud and UiPath RPA solution. When Oracle Integration Cloud consumes developed and deployed UiPath RPA processes, Oracle Integration Cloud can use UiPath’s public REST APIs to orchestrate the dispatching of RPA Processes via a UiPath Robot in an unattended manner. Oracle Integration Cloud is also finalizing its work of a UiPath adapter that encapsulates all the logic and internal technical details to natively discover, configure and dispatch the execution of RPA robots in an unattended manner.

UiPath can also take advantage of the Integration and Process Automation capabilities in Oracle Integration Cloud, as when there are issues during the execution of RPA processes by the robots, often times, an escalation to a human is needed in exception based conditions. Oracle Integration Cloud offers human workflow capabilities that can help streamline these situations where people is needed. Oracle Integration Cloud offers public REST APIs to easily enable this connectivity. Get the connector here. For additional information please see here.

I define my input as follows –

So now to the 2 simple rules –

IF/THEN rule and a Decision Table –

The rules are self-explanatory.
I want to expose these as 2 separate services –

I now Activate -Back in the Process App –

Now I drop a Decision Activity in my process –

Very succinct! Now all I need to do is the data mapping –

The Curious Case of Missing Port Type in Oracle PCS by Arun Pareek

July 21, 2019 Leave a comment

image

I was recently working on a simple process in PCS for a license approval flow. Given the purists that I am, I began by defining definitions for the various message based activities used in the process flow. The process was an asynchronous process with a few intermediate events. A simplified snippet is shown here for visualization.

In order to implement the above process, I created a service definition (WSDL) with the following schematic. As you can notice, there is a portType for accepting requests into the process (fc.myst.bp.TestDrive) and a callback portType for sending messages out of the process (fc.myst.bp.TestDrive.CallBack). Each of the portTypes have operations for catch and throw messages respectively. Read the complete article here.

The power of Oracle Event Driven Architecture by Roger van de Kimmenade

July 20, 2019 Leave a comment

image

Introduction

There is a lot of hype around Microservices and the use of events for implementing the choreography pattern. However this is nice for companies like Netflix and Twitter, but there are a lot of organisations still struggling with files and ESB like products. Also my current client uses an ESB namely the Oracle SOA Suite 12c for integrations. We cannot just throw away this ESB, but we can make use of the event mechanism built in. This blog describes the way we use the EDN (Event Delivery Network) component, that is used within SOA composites to throw events and to subscribe on events.

EDN

Oracle has a component that you can use to publish events and to subscribe on events within a SOA composite. Just use the invoke activity with the eventname and the content of the event. Within a composite you can subscribe on events and set filters. You can also configure “oneAndOnlyone” consistency property and indicate if you want a durable or non-durable subscriber. The EDN hides the underlying JMS provider, which can be changed (weblogic jms or OracleAQ). Separate Topics can be defined for each event or just use 1 topic for all events.

Notes:

  • Applications must always be abstracted by a corresponding SOA Composite. Applications should not use JMS directly
  • EDN cannot be used directly from within Oracle OSB
  • Read the complete article here.
