  Introduction At my current project incoming data files, located at a third party FTP server, have to be read using SFTP. Despite of several blog posts and the FTP Adapter documentation of Oracle, it took us a full day to get a working SFTP configuration. I use this blogpost to document this for myself in case I have to do it again, and for others who need to do (about) the same. Prerequisite First of all start with ensuring that no firewall is blocking traffic from the...

  Oracle Database Cloud Service provides two offerings, Database as a Service and Database Schema Service. In this example, I will be creating sample business process using Oracle Process Cloud Service (PCS) and expose RESTful webservices on the Oracle Database Cloud Service (Oracle Database Cloud - Database Schema Service). PCS will invoke DBaaS over REST API exposed at DBaaS and provides response to the PCS. In the following step I have quickly created RESTful service in the...

As part of the book Best Practices for Knowledge Workers (digital edition) we published an Adaptive Case Management Methodology. The proposed ACM Methodology is based on the five phases, which covers typical software engineering disciplines: Business Modeling, Visualization, Analysis, Design and Implementation. New software artifact models for ACM user interfaces (ACM Workspace) and ACM solution analysis and design (ACM Canvas) are also among the contributions of this work....

  Companies have been using workflow and content management for many, many years. In IT we got used to the term Business Process Management (BPM) whenever we spoke of automated process execution. Not so strange since the term BPM was adopted by all the major software vendors and has received a lot of attention as “the” way to achieve process automation and integration. There are however many different definitions of BPM, where some are technical and others are business...

Node.js has much to offer in the enterprise. But implementing Node.js in that context can be easier and more effective with the help of Oracle's Application Container Cloud service. Oracle ACE Associate Maarten Smeets, an integration consultant with AMIS, explains in this 2 Minute Tech Tip. Watch the video here. Additional Resources Soaring through the Clouds – Part 6: Lightweight Application Container Cloud Service for Rich API Implementation with Node.js Video: Tsymbalenko and...

  Docker has undergone a dramatic evolution in only the last couple of years. From virtually unknown in 2014, it still seemed to be a exotic, niche open source solution when WebLogic was certified on Docker in early 2015. Nowadays this is different. End of 2016 it has become very common to explore new software by just running an official Docker image from Docker hub. CI / CD pipelines are often built on Docker for repeatability. Docker is one of the key building blocks...

  Our Client's Needs: Our client’s existing system for handling trade exceptions was flawed. Once an exception had occurred, it was routed to the appropriate group for handling. A lack of process visibility, however, made it difficult to monitor how quickly and with what level of priority that was happening. Some exceptions “fell through the cracks” without being addressed, and the corresponding trade then remained unprocessed. The client needed greater process visibility to...

This demo conatins a simple SpringBoot application which will deployed on Application Container Cloud Services. The SpringBoot sample application is a web application serving one simple JSP page. Main steps: Get Oracle Cloud Services account (contains DevCS and ACCS) Create new project in DevCS Configure build job for sample application Configure Application Container Cloud service deployment in DevCS Build and deploy sample application 1. Open Developer Cloud Service One easy way to...

  When our Oracle Adaptive Case Management project started we initially used the default permissions on the case (Public, Restricted) to make sure our activities where available to the correct BPM application roles. A complex authorization model of roles, with LDAP groups, with users to allow access to the activities, but also custom UI and human tasks. An important concept of knowledge worker automation (on which off course our whole case is based) is that the users should not...
