Process Cloud Service – Web Form Design Approaches by Antonis Antoniou

February 18, 2017 Leave a comment

Oracle Process Cloud Service uses a standards-based technology called "Web Forms" for defining the user interface in business processes. It’s based on standards such as XHTML, CSS and JavaScript and allows business analysts and developers to create an end-user interface by just using the browser.
There are three approaches that can be employed when designing web forms:
Form-First: You can follow a "Form-First" approach where you create the form first before any data elements are defined and you let PCS by just drag and dropping components from the component palette to the page. Oracle PCS will automatically generate the schema that defines the data required by the web form.

The schema that is automatically generated by Oracle PCS is based on the web form controls added to the web form and can be located under "Business Types" section.

When you assign the web form to a human task activity, the schema generated by Oracle PCS will automatically be used to define the human task data structure.
Data-First: A data-first approach implies a bottom-up approach where you create a web form based on data sources or business objects by just drag and dropping the objects on the form to create controls.

Deploying Oracle Service Bus (OSB) Projects with Configuration Files in FlexDeploy by Greg Draheim

February 14, 2017 1 Comment

image

OSB Configuration files allow the developer to manage environment specific values during deployment.  FlexDeploy supports the use of these configuration files and extends them to using tokens in the configuration file that will get replaced with configured properties from FlexDeploy.   This way we do not need to generate a customization file for every environment where we are going to deploy the project.  We can have one configuration file that will work across environments.

My example is built using JDeveloper and SOA 12.2.1.  I have an OSB project named ValidatePayment that is acting as a proxy service for a SOA service:

The ValidateBS when I run locally, refers to localhost:

When I deploy this to our shared development environment, I want to replace http://localhost.flexagon:7001/ with http://soalt05.flexagon:7001/.  When I deploy to production, I want the URL to be http://soa.flexagon.com/.  To accomplish this I add a property to my OSB Deploy workflow in FlexDeploy.  First, I will show the full workflow for the OSB deploy.  Since FlexDeploy has smart plugins, the deploy workflow is a simple 1 step process to import the OSB project: Read the complete article here.

Seamless source “migration” from SOA Suite 12.1.3 to 12.2.1 using WLST and XSLT by Maarten Smeets

February 13, 2017 Leave a comment

image

When you migrate sources from SOA Suite 12.1.3 to SOA Suite 12.2.1, the only change I’ve seen JDeveloper do to the (SCA and Service Bus) code is updating versions in the pom.xml files from 12.1.3 to 12.2.1 (and some changes to jws and jpr files). Service Bus 12.2.1 has some build difficulties when using Maven. See Oracle Support: “OSB 12.2.1 Maven plugin error, ‘Could not find artifact com.oracle.servicebus:sbar-project-common:pom’ (Doc ID 2100799.1)”. Oracle suggests updating the pom.xml of the project, changing the packaging type from sbar to jar and removing the reference to the parent project. This however will not help you because the created jar file does not have the structure required of Service Bus resources to be imported. To deploy Service Bus with Maven I’ve used the 12.1.3 plugin to create the sbar and a custom WLST file to do the actual deployment of this sbar to a 12.2.1 environment. A similar solution is described here.

Updates to the pom files can easily be automated as part of a build pipeline. This allows you to develop 12.1.3 code and automate the migration to 12.2.1. This can be useful if you want to avoid keeping separate 12.1.3 and 12.2.1 versions of your sources during a gradual migration. You can do bug fixes on the 12.1.3 sources and compile/deploy to production (usually production is the last environment to be upgraded) and use the same pipeline to compile and deploy the same sources (using altered pom files) to a 12.2.1 environment. Read the complete article here.

Converting ADLs to implement end to end JSON in SOA Suite 12.2.1 -PART I by Luis Augusto Weir

February 12, 2017 Leave a comment

clip_image002

 

There is no doubt that web [Rest] APIs have become extremely popular and its usage has gone well beyond just building APIs in support of mobile apps. We can see the adoption of resource-oriented architectures (ROA) by probably all SaaS vendors who provide out-of-the-box APIs as the means to connect and interact with their cloud applications. Take for example the Oracle Cloud. To discover and consume publicly available Oracle SaaS APIs, all one need to do is browse the Oracle API Catalog Cloud Service (which is publicly accessible) and just select the Swagger definition for any given API.

But (as you probably already know) the adoption of web APIs hasn’t stopped there.  With the increased popularity of Microservice Architectures , initiatives such as Open Legacy ,  and node.js based frameworks like loopback and sails (to name a few), API-enabling system of records is becoming a lot easier.
This is putting a lot of pressure in software vendors to quickly modernise their integration suites to natively support the technology-stacks and patterns prevalent in these type of architectures. For example, if an organisations mobile application needs to interact with a system of record (on premise or the cloud) that already exposes a web API, the integration stack should be capable of supporting JSON over HTTP end-to-end without having to convert to XML back and forth. Not only is this impractical but introduces more processing burden to the core stack…
Luckily for many Oracle’s customers and Oracle Fusion Middleware / Oracle PaaS practitioners like myself, with the latest release of Oracle SOA Suite (12.2.1) , one of the many new features introduced is the support for handing JSON end-to-end.  I don’t want to understate the importance of this as with such feature it is possible to use BPEL for example to orchestrate several APIs (all in native JSON and also in-memory with the new SOA in-memory feature) and therefore deliver coarse grained business APIs that actually perform.
For me this represents an important milestone for Oracle SOA Suite as it shows the departure from traditional SOA tech-stack and into SOA 2.0 (as I like to call it) as the suite is now better suited to support the adoption of ROA, microservices, IoT, and so on. Having worked with SOA Suite since 10.1.3.1 this is very exiting. Read the complete article here.

How Dev/Test in the cloud is accelerating delivery of Oracle Middleware projects by Matt Wright

February 11, 2017 Leave a comment

clip_image002

 

The source of competitive advantage and value that an organization delivers to its end customers is increasingly defined by the software “systems” that underpin them. As a result, organizations find themselves in a digital race, where the speed at which IT can reliably deliver new features and innovations is what sets them apart from their competition.

In an industrial company, avoid software at your own peril . . . a software company could disintermediate GE someday, and we’re better off being paranoid about that.”

Jeff Immelt, CEO, General Electric

These innovations are seldom delivered by pre-packaged business applications, whether running on-premise or delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS), but by custom solutions derived in-house. Yet, most organizations have neither the time nor funds to build these systems of innovation from the ground up. Instead, they are delivered by layering new capabilities on top of existing applications, an approach defined by Gartner as “Pace-Layered”.

Oracle Middleware, such as the Oracle BPM Suite and Oracle SOA Suite provides the application glue to rapidly and continually combine these business apps, like puzzle pieces, into a custom integrated solution in order to deliver a seamless and unified experience to the customer.

Yet even with this Pace-Layered approach, many IT projects are still failing to deliver either on-time or on-budget, with development teams often held back by their own IT organization. So how can you reduce the cost of the software you develop and decrease the time it takes to get it right?

Research shows moving development to the cloud can initially reduce development time by an order of 11 to 20 percent. Organizations that fully embrace the cloud for Dev and Test are experiencing 30%+ time savings upon maturing their DevOps capabilities. Read the complete article here.
