At a recent client, I had a "citizen integrator" ask me to show them some of the orchestrations that I've created in ICS, and how I went about creating them.  I began showing off some of the integrations, and some of the POCs that I created.  I didn't get very far until he stopped me and asked, how I was able to invoke the integrations to test them.  This is when I realized he had previously attempted to create some integrations, but didn't understand what he created, or how...

This week I got to do a SAML2 implementation again for APEX against ADFS. Actually the same setup as last year. One pitfall I fell into with open eyes, was the Redirect URI on the 'Web SSO Partner Provider'. I entered /ords/f*, but it had to be with out the wild-card: /ords/f. But that aside. At one step in the setup of a SAML2 configuration is that you have to publish the metadata, by clicking a button. Some SAML2 capabable middleware solutions can publish the metadata over...

  Building Enterprise integrations in the Cloud with iPaaS brings many benefits, including among others: simplicity, agility and scalability. However, these benefits should not be taxed by having a weak core, not able to properly manage common enterprise requirements, such as error management. I’ve been a bit disappointed with how most iPaaS vendors handle runtime exceptions of integration flows. A typical example of this, is not being able to support dehydration for...

I've become a huge fan of the Oracle Management Cloud. Why? Because Oracle has broaden it's limit and the OMC doesn't just monitor Oracle based systems and applications, it has plugins for many non Oracle technologies, which makes the OMC very flexible and Enterprise worthy to be used as a complete solution for monitoring. Security Monitoring and Analytics ( SMA) Oracle also realized customers have great concerns about security in general but even more in the cloud, so they've...

In a previous series of blog posts titled Exploring Github DockerHub and OCCS I walked through how to setup your development environment, install Docker, create a git project, link Docker Hub and GitHub accounts, trigger a build of a docker image on Docker Hub and then deploy and run the docker image using the Oracle Container Cloud Service. In this blog I wanted to do something similar but this time focus on a more simplified process so that a less technical user could...
