Selecting which iPaaS Product(s) to use – ICS Definitive Tip #4 by Phil Wilkins

image

In the last few years Oracle’s iPaaS offerings have progressed significantly from one or two solutions such as Mobile Cloud Service to in excess of 35 offerings. This makes it challenging to decide which product(s) to use. The means for selection depends upon a range of factors including:

  • Most suitable licensing model (ICS provides a lower cost of entry than SOA CS as you’re paying by message volumes)
  • Development skills and desire to resilience or invest in people (SOA on-premises to SOA CS is easier than a technology change such as ICS)
  • The amount of control you have in an environment – JCS offers more control than ACCS for example

This is in addition the technical features that the different products offer. In terms of capability, Oracle iPaaS products can overlap, but better than having gaps. Not only is there overlap, you can achieve the same results with one or more products. Obviously, the permutation that provides the least amount of overlap is likely  to provide the best value in terms of investment.  To help see and understand this we have in the past used a visualisation such as the one shown below which helps evaluate these considerations.

It is worth saying that this visualisation has been subjectively constructed, and as products evolve over time it is only true for a limited period of time. Never the less it is helpful in reviewing options, and explaining product recommendations. Read the complete article here.

API Management and Microservices, a Match Made in Heaven

image

It’s not news anymore that Microservices architecture is changing the way systems are designed and built, however what’s rarely discussed in detail is how the APIs exposed by those Microservices are managed and accessed from other systems or even other Microservices and more importantly how those APIs are discovered and consumed by a community of developers when building solutions. In this presentation Capgemini’s PaaS experts Phil and Luis will explain in detail how Microservices Architecture and API Management relate to each other. To do this reference architectures, capability models and architectural patterns will be described and then it will be shown -with practical examples, how to implement modern solutions in the Oracle Cloud. Watch the video here.

Rubicon Red deploys Oracle BPM Suite 12c for tier-1 Aussie financial institution by Hafizah Osman

image

Brisbane-based consulting and managed services provider, Rubicon Red, has inked an agreement with a tier-1 financial institution in Australia, to deploy Oracle’s technology for the company.

This “major go-live” was aimed at transforming the lending fulfillment process and workflow for managing business banking landing for this tier-1 financial company, which Rubicon Red declined to name.

Other terms of the agreement were also undisclosed.

Rubicon Red, founded in 2009, is a platinum level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), with focus on Cloud, DevOps and 12c migration.

Oracle is its primary vendor partner, but the company also deals with other technologies with automation capabilities, such as AWS and Puppet.

Rubicon Red CEO, John Deeb, said the new system means business banking customers can potentially get the green light on their loan approvals of up to three times faster.

The financial institution was looking to improve on a number of its business metrics, including the time taken to approve loans, and being “close partners with Oracle” led to the making of this deal, Deeb told ARN. Read the complete article here.

Oracle BPM: Hiding Faults from BPM? Don’t use Service Activity! Jan Kettenis

image

In the following I explain how you can hide faults from BPM by not using (synchronous) Service activities, but (asynchronous) Send/Receive activities instead.

When calling services from a BPM process, you should think about where you want faults to show up and to be handled. This is specifically of interest when you have some integration layer between your BPM processes and external services that you call to abstract the external services from the BPM process. Let’s call this layer the Service Layer. I have seen such a layer in various formats, ranging from a Reusable Subprocess, a BPEL process in the same composite as the BPM process, or a BPEL process in a separate composite, or instead of BPEL a Mediator. You may have such a layer to hide technical details from the business process, to cover some sort of custom exception handling, or to hide the message format from these external services from the BPM process (or a combination of all that). The latter might be because you don’t have the luxury to do message transformation in a service bus.

In case the BPM process calls the Service Layer through a (synchronous) Service activity and that fails, then this will result in the main BPM instance to get into an errored state, and you will have to handle the error in the BPM process. This behavior might be exactly what you wanted to prevent with the Service Layer, for example because the Service call is in a parallel flow and you want to be sure that the fault does not impact processing of the other, parallel threads. Read the complete article here.
