Today I want to highlight one of those that are in the process-engine from the very first release of Oracle BPEL: correlations. Why is this such a distinctive...

This attribute is a BLOB that contains the parsed document from oracle xml classes. You need...

Microservices create challenges for data consistency and integrity that necessitate changes in the transaction processing and data patterns used by them.

While this provides strong consistency and isolation it does not scale well in a microservices environment due to the latency of held locks and,...
