When moving to the cloud, and specifically when moving towards cloud-native applications, different design patterns apply when compared to the more traditional (on-premises) applications. All these cloud-native design patterns and principles have one common denominator – showing emphasis on scalability and function isolation. Where traditional applications used to be developed as big monolith solutions housing a large set of functionalities, the more modern and cloud-native...

  · Analytics, Integration, Development “Why doesn’t software manage itself?” That’s the question Oracle President Thomas Kurian’s team asked approximately seven years ago. In 2018 the answer is, “It does.” Earlier this year, Oracle launched the world’s first autonomous data warehouse. Now three more self-driving services have come online: Oracle Autonomous Analytics Cloud, Oracle Autonomous Integration Cloud, and Oracle Autonomous Visual Builder Cloud. The...

  Introduction The objective of this blog is to introduce to the reader all available file-based options in Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC). The blog will cover the various tools and techniques available for developers for designing file-based integration solutions The Integration Cloud documentation does contain these in relevant sections. This blog intends to present only the file-based tools and techniques of Integration Cloud as a single point of easy reference. Note that most...

In earlier versions of JDev, skins have been created either by pure code or by using the free Skin Editor. However, since JDev 12.2.1.x the skin editor has been integrated into JDeveloper itself. A couple of questions in the ODC JDeveloper space are about how to create a skin with JDev which can be deployed as a shared library to a WebLogic Server. I gave this a try and it turned out, that you can build an ADF library jar from a skin project but you can’t use images to...

We have had a number of interesting conversations of late about the transition from ICS to OIC and to spice the discussion whether it should be OIC or Autonomous OIC. The reality of the situation is that the transition between ICS and OIC is a relatively straight forward one using the export and import tooling. The real challenge is the impact to organisations appears to be the change in licensing models as OIC works with the newer Universal Credit Model (UCM) where as ICS is...

Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) are useful tools to maximize productivity for developers. This article will present how to configure new shortcuts and some very important advanced shortcuts available by default in JDeveloper that can be very useful to speed up development process. Introduction and Configuring Shortcuts In order to maximize programmer productivity, one important aspect is the use of some shortcuts. We all know some basic shortcuts like “CTRL+X” (to...

In our previous blog, we have showcased how to install API Cloud Service physical gateway. In this blog, we'll execute some useful commands. For instance, how to start, stop and check status of the physical gateway. Below command must run from the directory where Gateway installer was unzipped. Command to check the status of Physical Gateway Run below command to check the status of Physical Gateway python APIGateway.py -f gateway-props.json -a status Enter username and password...

I thought to check how well ADF BC REST scales and how fast it performs. For that reason, I implemented sample ADF BC REST application and executed JMeter stress load test against it. You can access source code for application and JMeter script on my GitHubrepository. Application is called Blog Visitor Counter app for a reason - I'm using same app to count blog visitors. This means each time you are accessing blog page - ADF BC REST service is triggered in the background and...

Every year we prepare a new demo for the #PaaSForum. During the 2017 conference in Split #BanditCloudExpert approved, based on Oracle Process Cloud, Jean-Marcs keynote. Last year in Budapest we took care of an Easter bunny. In this case solution we adapted a bunny and feed it. The goal of the demonstration is to proof innovation of the Oracle Cloud platform and to have some fun! Proof of concepts and rapid prototypes are the key in a sales process. The Oracle cloud...
