Throughout March, Oracle ACEs from all around the world shared insights, tips and tricks and knowledge in over 200 blog posts. We have selected 20 of them for you to read and enjoy, focusing on GenAI, OCI, Analytics, Redwood, APEX, 23c and more.
Now that I caught your attention, I hope the image isn’t too triggering. I grew up learning to fear these little black monsters that potentially carry a load of Dengue virus that could make you really sick. As recently reported, the disease continues to be an issue in Singapore. During my undergraduate years, I was deeply passionate about viral diseases, and spent a few months in the laboratory learning to characterize the structural components of the virus using cyrogenic electron microscopy.
Whilst on the box, using Oracle Integration Cloud (or OCI Integration) appears very simple – it’s just drag & drop right?! - It’s important to understand the basics (and understand them well) to ensure that your design is robust.
Thrilled to share the groundbreaking announcement of the Oracle Globally Distributed Autonomous Database! 🎉 This cutting-edge technology is set to redefine the landscape of data management, offering unparalleled scalability, reliability, and efficiency for businesses worldwide.
If you have been following the last few blog posts, this is the final one with regards to setting up similarity search with Oracle’s upcoming vector datatype. This unique datatype enables you to be similarity search within your applications quickly and easily while keeping everything secure behind Oracle standard security of the Oracle database.
Oracle Advanced Support Gateway is a crucial component for managing and maintaining Oracle Engineered Systems effectively. It provides advanced support capabilities, allowing businesses to optimize performance, enhance security, and streamline operations. The installation process involves several steps, including preparation, software download, configuration, testing, and documentation. Each step must be executed carefully to ensure a successful installation and integration with existing systems.
In a previous article published on the Rittman Mead’s blog, I provided an overview of the features included in the January 2024 Update for Oracle Analytics Cloud. I had the opportunity to test it further recently, and in this article I’m going to share my key takeaways about this experience.
Java 22 is here! It’s been six months since Java 21 was released, so it’s time for another fresh set of Java features. This post takes you on a tour of the JEPs that are part of this release, giving you a brief introduction to each of them.
Hello Oracle enthusiasts and professionals! Today, we’re diving into an exciting enhancement introduced in Oracle’s 24B version that is set to elevate the user experience to new heights: the Redwood Experience for Journey Console. This feature brings a fresh, modern interface and a host of improvements designed to streamline processes for Admin users.
OCI Could Console offers Cloud Shell and Code Editor right from the browser. Cloud Shell is a small Oracle Linux container with shell access, that has the most popular cloud tools and OCI SDKs already deployed. Most importantly, however, all Oracle Cloud API commands you execute from there, they run silently as yourself, no additional setup required. Including setting up terraform. Pretty awesome idea I would say – no need to set up any admin computer first.
In the data-driven world we live in today, the ability to extract insights from vast and complex datasets is paramount for organisations to make informed decisions, drive innovation, and gain a competitive edge.
Previously (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/fully-automating-cloning-e-business-suite-cloud-manager-michler-zhehc), I described how you can use (unofficial) APIs to fully automate E-Business Suite environments hosted with Cloud Manager on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). As you can see there, the actual call to trigger a clone or also the termination of an environment is rather simple. I’ve recently used that a lot when I worked on my clone scripts. In that process, I had to create ~10 clones, and doing so with a simple REST call saved me a lot of time
You have a two applications called Blue and another called Pink. Both are on the same workspace and together they are part of a group of “Mini Apps” (Note: this is a nod to Page 7 of the Oracle APEX Lifecycle Technical Paper). To the users Blue and Pink appear as same app, and navigation between the two are seamless. To APEX developers, they are two separate applications.
Single Sign On (SSO) for the E-Business using IAM requires the user first to exist both in the E-Business Suite and the Federated identity store (e.g., Azure AD). Completely transparent to the end user, when the user attempts to log in, IAM communicates on behalf of the E-Business Suite with the Federated identity store (e.g., Azure AD). If the password provided by the end user is valid, IAM returns an E-Business authentication token, after which the user is logged in.
After talking to several folks already about the collision between AI and Oracle technologies, there was a clear next step. I was told to look at the Analytics team, as much innovation with AI was happening in that space. Luckily, I have a few friends there and reached out for an interview.
Recently, I’ve been checking out the FullCalendar documentation and found some interesting options that might be useful. Whether you’re new to FullCalendar or already familiar, these tips might make your experience even better.
Oracle APEX is suitable for use whenever there’s a need to save time and cost on app development without sacrificing functionality, performance, and user experience. The low-code platform simply does the heavy lifting for you so you don’t have to spend weeks writing codes.
Scalability is a critical aspect of database management, especially in Oracle databases, where performance significantly impacts overall system efficiency. This post explores a comprehensive approach to solving, monitoring, and testing for scalability, with a focus on feature engineering and feature selection. By leveraging key metrics and performance indicators, administrators can proactively address potential bottlenecks and optimize performance.
Once Upon a Time, Oracle shared container images in the kingdom of Docker Hub. They were freely available and easy to pull from a magical well that held a bounty of images that came together from every corner of the land. These were the Good Old Days, when containers were still new (but not yet very popular in the database community).
When loading data into the database we often use staging tables. We may load the data into one or more staging tables, then transform it before loading it into the destination tables. As a result, the data in these staging tables is volatile.
So… we are developing an Oracle APEX multi language application for a customer and recently they decided to deal with problematic translations on multiple pages for multiple languages through the application. It goes for approximately 300 pages and 2 languages (Dutch and French).
And they requested us to provide them separate XLIFF files for every single page and language – about 600 files – it was easier for them to translate this way.
