Oracle Mobile Cloud Service is a so called 'cloud native' product in the Oracle PaaS offering: it runs in the Oracle Public Cloud and there is no on premise variant in the Oracle Fusion Middleware stack.In our current MCS project we have set up a number of things to make sure that we can achieve the same quality in our software development lifecycle (sdlc) as we have in our 'traditional' projects. One of the measures is the ability to run unit tests locally before deploying...

Oracle BPM tasks can be dynamically assigned to an individual user, application role, and / or an LDAP group depending on the human task's incoming data.  They did not have to be separate strings, but for clarity these three human task data elements have corresponding process data objects mapped into the human task in this Oracle BPM 12.2.1.2 application.  Based on which one(s) is populated, the task's assignment is made. These are set in the activity's input data association...

Some of you might recall this blog post at Migrating your Oracle BPM assets into Oracle Process Cloud Service (PCS) that I published last year for some customers that wanted to move their assets to Oracle Cloud. However, as you likely can recall too, this was only targeted for customers that were only using BPM Composer for modeling and documentation purposes only. Early this year, a new BPM customer in Brazil, that automated their business processes on top of Oracle BPM,...

There is an issue you need to be aware of when adding link fields to Oracle's Process Cloud Service (PCS) web forms using the new web form design tool.  This blog provides a fairly simple workaround to the problem. At runtime, the problem is that the value stored in the link's data element is lost once the form is submitted.  This means that the process data object cannot then map or use the element in the process downstream. Follow these steps to workaround this issue.  In...

Introduction The high availability of applications in the WebLogic environment is realized by clustering. Managed servers in the cluster work together. The information about transactions is distributed cluster-wide. If a cluster member fails, another server takes over the tasks of the failed server and executes them. In this way, the applications are kept running without interruption. The AdminServer is a single point of failure: if the server fails, the Domain is no longer...

The power and water division of a major industrial manufacturer sought to bring sorely needed order and efficiency to a lengthy and chaotic month-end closing process. Our Client’s Needs Our client’s four-day month-end closing process required manually running ten to fifteen different programs for each subledger and each general ledger set, for each organizational unit configured in EBS. This meant that all these programs had to be run nearly 150 times times for each month-end...
