#1) User experience and the Oracle Applications Cloud: IDC Analyst Mike Fauscette writes about “Oracle and the Cloud” in a recent post on the Seeking Alpha website, a resource for investment information. In his article, Fauscette writes: “In particular, there are new tools and a simplified experience for all the cloud apps that extends to some new mobile and analytic apps.”#2) PeopleSoft User Experience Guidelines now available: The PeopleSoft Applications User Experience...

Customers today demand an experience that is both contextual and personalized. They do not want to be forced to follow a one-size-fits-all process and instead expect processes to adapt to their needs. This video, hosted by Integration Developer News at Business Process Management-CON, describes the challenges that rigid or structured processes present, introduces Adaptive Case Management (ACM) to address those challenges, and describes how Oracle Business Process Management...

The ‘new and improved’ WebLogic Maven Plugin in WebLogic Server 12.1.2 provides a bunch of additional capabilities above and beyond your straight compile/package/deploy operations. In this post I wanted to take you on a journey of some of these additional capabilities and explore how we might use them to automate testing of a project. We are going to use a somewhat contrived example of a simple web application, so the capabilities we look at are going to probably look like...

This post is specifically about how to maintain and share enterprise level Fault Policies that can be re-used across all your Business Process Management 11g projects. I’m assuming that you know enough about Business Process Management/SOA Suite Exception Handling in general  using Fault Policies. If you are looking for more basic information on Fault Handling,  check Using Fault Handling In A BPEL Process  in the SOA Suite Developer’s Guide. If you read the SOA Suite...

RebelLabs did a great job comparing the main Java servers out there, where some are pure Servlet/JSP containers, others are full Java EE compliant.

See RebelLabs report "The Great Java Application Servers Debate"So, I decided to write this blog post to...

Dear WebLogic Partner Community member, In the last 10 years Oracle drove the market to consolidate database platforms into a single high available private cloud. The next step is to consolidate applications on a single WebLogic platform, which opens great service opportunities for you as a partner. Many of our joint customers still use iAS and other obsolete technologies. A good opportunity to start the consolidation during a hardware refresh based on a certified platform. Th...

Introduction I visited a customer recently who asked a very interesting question…. they’d been performing a series of stress tests of their Business Process Management project made up of many & complex Business Process Management processes and they wanted to know if there were any activities/paths in any of their processes which they hadn’t traversed… sort of like “Clover” for Business Process Management, This led me to thinking about Business Process Management auditing and...

In one of our SOA/BPM environments, the stability of the WebLogic server running the SOA and BPM Suite was not as it should be. There were problems deploying ear files and accessing the BPM workspace etcetera. Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware control homepage would show that everything is running fine. But accessing the soainfra pages would fail. In the AdminServer logs the following relevant entries were found. Apparently the AdminServer fails at communicating with...
