To get all the messages that are related to two flows that run parallel based on the same message exchange.The thing is that of course you want to see the contents of the message in the xml_document. 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. Traditional systems rely on two-phase commit and XA protocols that use synchronous communication, locking of resources, and recovery via rollback (or commit as the case may be). While this provides strong consistency and isolation it does not scale well in a microservices environment due to the latency of held locks and,...

I will explain how to reference JavaScript module function in Oracle JET HTML. In previous Oracle JET versions, we were using $root to access parent appController module. Syntax $root looks a bit like magic, it is better to reference module through a predefined variable. I will show you how. Sample app comes with number converter, which helps to format numeric value. For convenience reasons and better reuse, number formatting function is moved to a separate module. Our goal is...
