This article talks about an interesting use case of JavaScript in ADF faces - the tab index. By default when we use a panel-form-layout in ADF faces, the default behaviour of the cursor on tab is to go the next element as defined inside your panel-form-layout xml metadata. So for a layout with 4 rows and 2 columns, the default cursor travel behaviour is something like this: But what if I need a traverse pattern like this:One not-so-simple and tedious way would be to to...

· Business Transformation: Four Hard-Won Lessons Business transformation is hard, says Oracle’s Douglas Kehring, executive vice president of corporate operations, which is why fewer than 20% of companies have succeeded in sustainably improving their business performance. What’s the #1 key to success? The executive mandate. CEOs must recognize “that only a new approach will dramatically improve the company’s performance” and insist upon reinvention, Kehring says.” What’s next...

Recently I came across an odd phenomenon in an ICS mapping that I want to share with the community via this blog. In short: XSLT parameters that are not found but are being used Let me explain: at VBCS we have a Business Object whose data can be accessed via a REST call. Here the “q” parameter can be used to filter on characteristics that are stored in the BO. In the maximum variant, the “q” parameter can contain 8 characteristics (see screenshot below). We embed this REST call...

When mapping data in the Oracle Integration Cloud (or OIC for short) you sometimes discover that elements you want to map from are not always available as a source on the left-hand side. As I recently found out (thank you Eduardo Chiocconi!) that does not necessarily mean that they are not available for mapping.An example might be including some elements of the request in the title of the process instance. Until now I always did this by including a Data Mapper right after the...

I found a nice YouTube video (Inter-module Communication with Custom Events) by John Brock, on the topic of inter-module communication in Oracle JET, using the concept of event bubbling. The above method proposed by John will certainly solve communication problems between two JET modules, between a JET module and a CCA and also between two CCAs, and is thus a highly useful one.However, there is another quick method to establish connectivity between two JET web components...

When building Oracle JET Model/Collection structure to render table, you should be careful defining ID attribute. This attribute must have unique values only, if there will be duplicates in ID, then table rows will be rendered incorrectly. Take as example below structure for Employees REST endpoint. EmployeId attribute provides unique values and it should be defined as ID for JET model: Let's try and see what happens when non-unique DepartmentId attribute is set for a key in...

In a previous blog we described how to retrieving the masterdata from a VBCS Business Object. In this blog we will expand this further with a validity period for the masterdata Now let’s expand our scenario (see previous blog)  a little further. Currently, one of the means of transport in the Decision model is a bike. Many bikes in the Netherlands are currently being replaced by an electrically powered version. Jarvis Pizzeria will also replace regular bikes with electric...
