At the Oracle Partner PaaS Summer Camps VII 2017 in Lisbon last year, at the end of august, I attended the API Cloud Platform Service & Integration Cloud Service bootcamp. In a series of article’s I will give a high level overview of what you can do with Oracle API Platform Cloud Service. The version used of Oracle API Platform CS was Release 17.3.3 — August 2017. See https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/paas/api-platform-cloud/whats-new/index.htmlto learn about the new and...

How to Publish APIs to the API Portal Either for internal or external purposes, it's necessary to have an API Portal where 3rd parties or internal developers can register applications to subscribe to APIs. Our API management strategy will be successful only if developers actually use our APIs. And if that happens, we need to: Identity those developers Manage them Communicate to them any changes in our APIs Understand how they're using the APIs Receive feedback from them An API...

In the latest version of Oracle IBCS they added a translation service that can be called before resolving the intent. To start a conversation with the bot in the user language ( Arabic in my case) then we need to use the autotranslation component. As you can see here in the Oracle docs : Autotranslation uses services like Microsoft Translator and the Google Translation API to enable the built-in components like System.Text and System.Output to output their prompts in the...

When configuring API Policies in the the Oracle API Platform it helps if there is a simple back end that can take the received payload and record the sent values (header & body) as well as reflect the call details back as the response, or possibly respond with a test payload (so that response policies, particularly policies that require payload navigation  can be exercised correctly).  By having this facility it becomes a lot easier to determine whether the policies are...

  This blog is the second part of an end-to-end exercise that starts explaining the steps to clone a GitHub repository that contains an agnostic Medical Records application, built by us in NodeJS and which exposes REST API endpoints via a Swagger API-descriptor running locally on Swagger UI (all included as part of the repository). The previous part of this 2-blogs series also explains the steps required to run the MedRec NodeJS application on Docker containers either locally...

Chatbots and AI have become household names and enterprises are taking notice. According to a recent Forrester survey, roughly “85% of customer interactions within an enterprise will be with software robots in five years’ time” and “87% of CEOs are looking to expand their AI workforce” using AI bots. In an effort to drive increased labor efficiencies, reduce costs, and deliver better customer/employee experiences enterprises are quickly introducing AI, machine learning, and...

The new Oracle API Platform makes it possible to deploy different versions of your APIs to different gateway instances. When you you’re managing the Development API Policies through all the different stages of the lifecycle (Design to Production) from a single management tier such a capability is essential. This is further challenged by the fact that each save of you API Definition creates a new iteration (the term used to identify each saved ‘version’ of the API) However it...

In 2016 I did several posts on automatic installs of Fusion MiddleWare, including domain creation using wlst. With weblogic 12c you automatically get a pre-configured per-domain nodemanager. But you might find the configuration not completely suiting your whishes. It would be nice to update the nodemanager.properties file to with your properties in the same script.Today I started with upgrading our Weblogic Tuning and Troubleshooting training to 12c, and one of the steps is...
