My colleague, Paul Wever, wrote an excellent blog about turning the MDS to increase performance. Purging is something we do at almost all our customers. Paul provides excellent tips, tricks and insights to increase the performance.In my job as system administrator/DBA, projects related to Oracle’s SOA Suite I put a lot of emphasis on configuration of the environment, like the OS, the Oracle database, WebLogic, OSB, and other products. Part of the Oracle SOA Suite is the...

When you start getting serious about Oracle JET, one of the first questions that pop up is how do you design the RESTful services that your Oracle JET application needs to call? This is the first post in a mini-series that will try to answer that question. So what are RESTful Services, anyway? RESTful means REpresentational State Transfer. It sounds pretty complicated, but in reality it’s a piece of cake! It means that a server has a “resource” and a client can request a...

I've recently started on another active-active SOA infrastructure project and thought I'd share a few introductory notes since it's a relatively new topic in the context of Fusion Middleware. History Over recent years within Europe some customers have accepted a close geographic distance (e.g. 15 km) between data centres in return for a high bandwidth, low latency interconnect (typically ‘dark’ or dedicated fibre). This is to enable them to share normal production workload...

I'm going to share few more tips, how to implement CRUD in JET and call ADF BC 12.2.1 REST service. You are going to learn how to implement table row selection and how to call REST PATCH method to update data through ADF BC REST service. Why very practical? You can take sample application code and use it in your project. Less theory and more practical hints - this is my approach. This is how it looks JET table (with pagination control - Oracle JET Collection Paging Control...

Overview? Scriptable File Transfers are "Groovy", or Node or Python, batch files or plain ole boring Bourne shell scripts invoked by the MFT runtime server. Maybe you want to maintain a library of custom callouts, java code or manage moving them from one environment to another? No problem, use the Ginzu knife of callouts to extend MFT, the Run Script Pre-Processing callout now available on the MFT OTN page at bit.ly/learnmft. This baby can do it all, file processing, add new...

NetBeans 8.1 has a plugin for Oracle JET that makes it absolutely simple to create a project modeled off the Oracle JET QuickStart template. Just choose File >> New Project... >> HTML5/JavaScript >> Oracle JET QuickStart Basic. Give it a name and a location, click Finish, then click the Run Project button. You should be looking at a three-column, responsive, single-page app with a menubar that swaps out the content in the middle mainContent area. Notice those icons on the...

Efficient usage of version control has specific requirements to allow identification of versions and synchronous development on different branches. Design time you will want to have your Service Bus projects in a single application in order to allow usage of shared objects. At deploy-time or when creating a release, you want to group SCA composites together with Service Bus projects. How do you combine these different requirements? In this article I’ll describe several...

This post is supposed to provide improved solution for the approach described previously - ADF and Oracle JET - Integration Pattern with ADF Regions. Many thanks to John Brock, Product Manager for Oracle JET, for his proactive comments and suggestions.I have changed it to JET rendering in ADF, instead of integration. Perhaps word 'integration' is too strong in this context. You should not mix two frameworks together, like trying to render data from ADF bindings in JET...

While testing the Maven build scripts I shared in my previous post, I found a few issues while building more complex composite projects.  Both of the issues I found were related to included Java code in the project. One of which has a work around while the other does not. The first issue was with using the Java Embedding activity in a BPEL process.  This results in a Java class being generated for the BPEL process, which then was failing to compile. The second issue was with...
