In our blog entries the First Step and the Second Step there was described how multiple pizza’s could be prepared using a multi-instance subprocess. Although we saw this working correctly, the subprocess was configured to prepare pizzas sequentially, see the screenshot below: However, due to the success of the Jarvis Pizzeria, new equipment was purchased. Two brand new ovens were installed, enabling the Jarvis enterprise to prepare three pizza’s simultaneously...awesome! To...

We have new tool from Oracle which can help to simplify offline logic implementation for JS apps.  In this post I will describe how to use Oracle Offline Persistence Toolkit with Oracle JET. However Offline Persistence is not constrained by JET usage only, this toolkit is available on NPM and can be integrated with other JS solutions.I should emphasise - offline toolkit primary role is to enable mobile hybrid apps to work offline. In my opinion, toolkit usage doesn't stop...

  In this blog we will implement a first version of the preparation of an order using a dynamic process. We continue where blog one stopped. The imported order process is extended with an example dynamic process. We open the DynamicOrderProcess, which should still contains the example. We will build this so that it contains the Pizza ordering process. However, when opening the Process, we can see that the example is no longer there. Apparently, the example is not saved, maybe...

This support is transparent to the user and is done through the Fetch API and an XHR adapter. HTTP requests made while the client device is...

Getting started with the new integration cloud, the cloud that brings ICS, VBCS and PCS together. But it also includes the introduction of dynamic processes, Oracle’s new approach for adaptive case management. This introductory blog consists mainly of an overview of the different parts of dynamic processes. In addition, some differences between PCS and the Integration Cloud are discussed. First step: import the Jarvis Pizza Preparation application. The location of this menu...

Keep an eye open on ADF Task Flow Method Call activities where methods from ADF Bindings are called. JDEV 12c sets deferred refresh for ADF binding iterators related to TF Method Call activities and this causing blind SQL to be executed. Blind SQL - query without bind variables. Let me explain the use case, so that it will be more clear what I'm talking about.Common example - TF initialization method call where data is prepared. Typically this involves VO execution with bind...

As our business grows and our digitalization kicks in, it is time to reevaluate our process setup. We are happy with our processes in Process Cloud, they are easy to set up and we can manage our process from Ordering a Pizza al the way through to delivery. However as with any BPMN, this a very structured process. Sometimes we require a bit more flexibility. We had a good chat with our friends from Oracle and we were very pleased to hear that our wish to become more flexible...
