There are a lot of concepts to get your head round before you can make good use of it, such that people frequently don’t bother....

There is a debate over the meaning of the term "social BPM," as well as its role in the enterprise. Some say it is simply a new feature in vendor offerings. Others claim it is a business strategy, bringing people into more efficient conversation while consolidating social data for future analysis. As with any new buzzword, CIOs and architects will have to cut through the hype in order to determine whether or not social BPM -- and its accompanying technology suites -- really...

A new release of Process Accelerators (11.1.7.1) is now available and includes two new PAs: Insurance Claims Management: ICM is the first accelerator to showcase the Adaptive Case Management (ACM) functionality in Oracle BPM.

We were Sun partners back then, promoting GlassFish, and our now Oracle Gold Partners. We have a number of customers we support on GlassFish and we...

Every WebLogic Server installation comes with SSL support.

But before getting down to the migration part, first thing you should learn is How to Install WebLogic 12c....

The WebLogic Server 12c has very nice support for Maven now. The doc for this is kinda hidden though, so here is a direct link here.To summarize the doc, Oracle did not provide a public Maven repository manager hosting for their server artifacts. However they do now provide a tool for you to create and populate your own. You can setup either your local repository (if you are working mostly on your own in a single computer), or you may deploy them into your own internal Maven...
