The common case scenario for a service exposed via Oracle Service Bus is to receive a message, validate/enrich/transform it, call a service provider and then do some additional work with the response from the provider before returning it to the caller. The initial steps are grouped inside a request pipeline; the message then goes through a route to the provider, and the final processing is done by a response pipeline before sending it back to the caller: Usual structure of an...

In previous posts we discussed how Microservice applications can be implemented, combined and monitored in Oracle Application Container Cloud service. So far, we focused on a manual deployment process. However, when aiming to implement a working Microservice strategy DevOps is a key success factor. One area DevOps concentrates on is software delivery automation (CI/CD). With Developer Cloud Service Oracle provides a full team development and delivery cloud platform. It can...

After looking into how to run a Spring-Boot based Microservice application on Oracle’s Application Container Cloud service, this post will concentrate on Oracle Container Cloud Service. In short, Oracle Container Cloud Service is Oracle’s enterprise-grade container infrastructure solution. It provides features to compose, deploy, orchestrate and manage Docker container-based applications. In contrast to Oracle Application Container Cloud Service customers can...

  Introduction In many enterprise integration scenarios there is a requirement to initiate tasks at scheduled times or at user defined intervals. The Oracle Integration Cloud Service (ICS) provides scheduling functionality via the Oracle Enterprise Scheduler to satisfy these types of requirements.  The Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Service (ESS) is primarily a Java EE application that provides time-based and schedule-based callbacks to other applications to run their jobs.

The Chaos Computer Club e. V. (CCC) hosts their conference once a year. The first time it took place in Leipzig last month. It’s a great mixture of IT topics and related digital society topics. When it’s cold, dark and rainy outside you can watch some of the YouTube videos here: · 34C3 - Dude, you broke the Future! · 34C3 - Ladeinfrastruktur für Elektroautos: Ausbau statt Sicherheit - english translation · 34C3 - Inside Intel Management Engine · 34C3 - Die fabelhafte Welt des...

When monitoring and/or troubleshooting the ICS Connectivity Agent server, it is important to not only have the standard logs (e.g., AdminServer-diagnostic.log) but also the standard out/error (stdout/stderr).  One of the big challenges of capturing the stdout is not exhausting the disk storage over time.  Since the ICS Connectivity Agent is a WebLogic server installation, there are out-of-the-box options available for redirecting the stdout/stderr (see WebLogic Server logging...

Oracle Application Container Cloud service allows for microservices to be hosted using programming languages like Java SE, NodeJS, PHP and Python. Future plans include support for Ruby. An earlier post provided an overview and compared this to Oracle Container Cloud Service. The applications run in a Docker container behind the scenes and is expected to expose a service port. By configuring metadata, access can be setup to other Oracle Cloud services like database, storage,...
