Dear SOA & BPM Partner Community, Thanks for attending the PaaS Summer Camps and the Virtual Summer Camps 2016.

In case you did not get a seat for the Virtual Summer Camps we opened the registration for the autumn edition including a SOA 12c Bootcamp and a BPM Suite 12c Bootcamp both on-demand in October 2016. Oracle OpenWorld starts this...

Use the Oracle Mobile Cloud Service Apple iOS SDK to develop mobile apps. Oracle Mobile Cloud Service is designed to be mobile-client-agnostic, in that it will work with any mobile platform, including Android; Apple iOS; Windows; JavaScript for hybrid mobile solutions; and, of course, Oracle’s own Oracle Mobile Application Framework. The REST APIs published via Oracle Mobile Cloud Service can accept calls from any external mobile client technology that supports HTTP and REST. But...

Thanks for the excellent time at the Summer Camps 2016 in Lisbon. Was great to get pet & lab during the whole week! In my class I learned – paw-on the Oracle PaaS portfolio including PCS, ICS, API CS, IaaS... now I’m an Oracle cloud expert. As a follow-up I will take the online assessment to become certified. The summer in Europe is great, decided to go on holiday and enjoy the beach! Bandit – the cloud expert. #jkwc SOA & BPM Partner Community For regular information on...

If you are familiar with SOA/BPM 11g purging, after you have upgraded/implemented SOA/BPM 12c, you will not be able to use most of the SQL for 11g to determine the purgeable instances.  This is because SOA/BPM 12c is no longer using composite_instance table for composite instance tracking. In SOA/BPM 12c, a common component is used to track the state associated with a business flow and report audit information.  This design will reduce the instance tracking data generated...

SOA Suite can sometimes be a bit slow to start. This is especially the case when there are a lot of composites to load. Customers using different versions of composites can benefit from undeploying non-default revisions of processes which do not have any running instances (see for example here). Undeployment in most cases is an asynchronous process which does not give feedback. It can partially fail without you noticing (apparently not an atomic transaction). This...

I am excited to announce the availability of MCS 2.1. Our goal with MCS is to help build BETTER apps FASTER. We continue towards our goal with this release of MCS 2.1. Simplify building Mobile Apps to Oracle Fusion Apps (FA) with the Fusion Connector. One of MCS main differentiators is our ability to seamlessly connect to external APIs with built-in end to end security. Today, we are announcing the availability of the FA connector that simplifies browsing and consuming Fusion...

In this article, I make some suggestions and provide opinions on topologies for SOA Suite 12c that is commonly used and supported. Only the EDG topology is thoroughly tested by Oracle though. One consideration when deciding on topologies is that Upgrade is always domain wide. All products deployed to the domain must release in the same release train and you should be willing to upgrade all of them at the same time. Centralized administration is one factor but should not be...
