We are pleased to announce that Helidon MP version 2.2.0 now supports the MicroProfile GraphQL specification from the Eclipse Foundation. From the MicroProfile (MP) GraphQL spec page: GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIs, and a runtime for fulfilling queries with existing data. GraphQL interprets strings from the client, and returns data in an understandable, predictable, pre-defined manner. GraphQL is an alternative, though not necessarily a replacement for REST. GraphQL provides three types of data operations: query, mutation and subscription. The schema is the core of GraphQL and clearly defines the operations supported by the API, including input arguments and possible responses. An example of a schema is shown below. It defines a fictitious task API which we’ll go through in detail later in the article.

There are three main ways how GraalVM can help with the Java applications: making them faster by using the state-of-the-art JIT compiler, compiling them into standalone native executables with instant startup and low memory consumption, and enhancing them with libraries or code in other supported languages. This quick reference is a one-page short summary of what GraalVM can do and the key options and commands to illustrate its capabilities. You can download it and print. It fits neatly on an A4 paper, so you can hang it in the office and use it as a reminder of what GraalVM can do and which options turn it on. Be sure to grab the pdf version for printing so it looks neat and sharp. Note that if your printer is more comfortable with the US letter paper formats please make sure to get this version, it’ll look better.

Helidon is designed to have the smallest number of third party dependencies as possible. With that goal in mind, we originally decided to use Java Util Logging (JUL) as its an integral part of the JVM with no added dependencies. In Helidon 2.2.0, however, we have decided to support the following logging frameworks and some of their features: · Java Util Logging (JUL) — already supported and does not require any changes in Helidon · Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J) — an API that can be used to log into multiple logging implementations (logback, Log4j, JUL) · Log4j (version 2.x) — widely used logging framework With the addition of Log4j and SLF4J we can now offer Mapped Diagnostic Context (MDC). This highly requested feature allows users to register a value with the MDC using a static method, and then write it to the output. This value could be a tracing ID that we want to see for each message, the current user, or a similar contextual value.

Introduction In this example, I will describe a small Java utility that produces an Excel file. The Utility has a synchronous Rest API to act as an interface for callers. Bear in mind that Oracle Integration Cloud has inbuilt capability to generate CSV files - CSV is a text-only format of comma/delimiter-separated values that can also be opened in a spreadsheet tool like Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice. However, Excel is a binary format capable of rich formatting, formulae, among other features. The API that this post describes generates a proper well formatted Excel file, can be deployed in an Oracle PaaS environment on the Java Cloud Service (JCS), can be consumed just like any other Rest service in the Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC), and can even be directly exposed to users (subject to security, usability, and other considerations).

A customer has asked how they can achieve filtering of the results shown in a selectSingle component that is bound to a Service Data Provider (SDP) as they type values into the list. In this blog we'll show you how to get this behavior working. A list that is based on an SDP doesn't hold a client side array of all the data - filtering will therefor be executed using a query sent to the server. The server returns the matching values to the client populating the SDP. To indicate to an SDP that you want to send such filtering queries, you specify a new property to the SDP called transformsContext in your variable definition in your page's JSON.

Those of you of a certain age might recognize the above image - the TV test card: played whenever a channel was "off air" and used for calibration. Whilst this might represent an image of a time-gone-by, the concept of measuring against a known baseline is one we can all recognize and is particularly important for those of us developing chatbots/digital assistants. At Oracle I run a team that whilst part of the development organization that build our conversation AI platform (Oracle Digital Assistant), we also build production chatbots using that platform (we are the team who eat the dog food!). And in one of our current projects we took the time to re-visit our initial language training data to see whether the lessons we've learned, and documented (below) had a measurable difference on the "intelligence" of our digital assistant.

Composite bag entities model real world objects like "order", "person", "car", "account" etc. Each attribute in such an object is referred to as a bag item. Bag items usually reference other entities (built-in or custom). The System.CommonResponse component and the System.ResolveEntities component can be used to generate dialogs at runtime for users to be prompted to provide input for each bag item. A common use case for objects is that some of their attributes (bag items) are treated as optional. This means that the item will be prompted but the user can choose not to provide any information. In this article I explain by an example how you achieve the same behavior with composite bag entities. Use case The sample that you can download as a skill uses a composite bag entity to model an account. The account information is collected by the following bag items: first name last name email (optional) address The following image shows how the user is prompted for the information. When specifying the first name, the bot uses the provided name in the prompt when it asks for the last name. The EMail prompt is rendered with a skip button. In addition, users could type "skip" or "none" to leave the field without providing a valid email address. When the mail address is skipped, the next prompt is for the address.

I’m excited to announce that the Oracle Digital Assistant Platform Version 20.12 is now being rolled out across all our OCI data centers. Key updates include: · Unified Multi-lingual NLU · Enhanced Speech · Data Manufacturing with Active Learning Unified Multi-lingual NLU 20.12 represents a fundamental shift not only for the ODA Platform but for the Conversational AI space in general. With 20.12, we introduced a unified multi-lingual NLU model for key languages in Europe and Middle East. This means customers no longer have to build a separate digital assistant for each language nor do they have to rely on a translation service to power their Intent Classification and Entity Recognition. While multi-lingual language embeddings have become mainstream in the past couple of years, ODA is the first Conversational AI platform to introduce active cross-lingual usage with Few-Shot and Zero-Shot NLU training models for both intents and entities.

If you are using Visual Builder's Business Objects (BO) as a source of data for your Visual Builder user interface, caching their content on the client side can help improve your app performance. The latest version of Visual Builder provides a simple declarative way to control caching settings for your BOs. Caching Considerations There are a couple of points to consider before you implement caching though: If your data is frequently changing, you might not want to cache it on the client as the cached data might be out of date when the user access it. For example, we wouldn't suggest caching the current inventory for each product in your warehouse, as this will change with every new order placed. The list of product names, however, might be data that you can cache assuming your products catalog changes at most once a day. Visual Builder lets you define the length of time that the data is cached - which should help you tune this for each piece of data.

Hierarchical data is very common when working with databases, but showing such data can pose challenges when you want to show all the data on one page. In the past I showed how to show hierarchy using a tree component, in this blog I'm building on top of the concepts shown there to create a UI representations that shows a nested details table for each master record. In the example we use a data set of departments and employees that belong to each one of them. We want to show a table of the employees below the details of each department. This is a common representation in "report" type of outputs. To achieve this we are starting from the tree example, populating an ArrayTreeDataProvider with the data. We then use an oj-bind-for-each component to dynamically render each of the master records. Binding the component to the array of master records, and using a panel with content in it bound to a specific field. You can of course expand and modify the layout of that area with additional fields and layouts.

Paging control was a common pattern for controlling the number of records shown on a page and for fetching another set of records. Today, with the richer functionality provided by browsers, you can get a better user experience with native scroll functionality and a "load more" approach. I blogged about it in a previous entry that shows how scrolling/fetching/pagination works in VB tables by default. This "load more on scroll" approach is what you see in your Twitter and Facebook feeds for example. Google's search page seems to be one of the last remaining sites to stick with the "next 10 records" approach. At Oracle our UI experts also instructed our Cloud Apps development teams to not use paging controls. But, if you insist on adding a pagination control to your tables, here is a quick demo showing how to achieve this.

On GitHub You find the GitHub project at https://github.com/apache/freemarker-online-tester Online Tester To use the online tester, point your browser to https://try.freemarker.apache.org/ The image below shows the tester that displays in the browser. The Template field takes the Apache FreeMarker construct or expression you want to test. The Data model field provides various options for you to model the data objects that are referenced by your expression. The data model may simulate a variable state in Oracle Digital Assistant or the content of a system variable. As a rule of thumb: Any data object reference in your FreeMarker script needs to be modeled.

The attachment type is a useful feature of the System.CommonResponse component, especially when the messenger is rendering images as part of a conversation. A feature I was looking for is the ability to add a title string or a header text. So far I helped myself by adding a text response before rendering the attachment response. Well, I've done that so far. As of Oracle Digital Assistant 20.08, the attachment type supports the headerText property, which in combination with the footerText property can produce output as shown below.

The System.Intent component in Oracle Digital Assistant resolves intents and extracts entities from a user message. Entities can be extracted if the message contains the entity value or a synonym defined for it. For example, when asking for a currency code for a country, the following user messages work if Germany, German, Portugal, Portuguese or UK were defined as synonyms "What is the currency code for Germany" "What is the German currency code" "Which currency code is mapped to UK" "What is the currency code Portugal has" "What is the currency code of Portuguese money" There are use cases, where the synonym that resolves an entity actually matters. Lets take the example of an expense report. An expense report may have a value list entity entry for transportation to identify the type of an expense. While "transportation" is the value to extract, the kind of transportation matters too. So if "train" "car" "plane" "flight", "ship" would be defined as synonyms, then the following messages would all resolve to transportation.

About Page Ranging Messenger behaves differently when it comes to the number of buttons or the selection of items that can be rendered. To remove limitations, you can configure the data items that are displayed simultaneously on composite bag entity items. For the users to be able to browse all data values, you then use buttons exposed on the System.CommonResponse component or the System.ResolveEntities component. What happens when a user tabs on a button is that the component navigates to a next or previous page range. There may be a time where you need to know what the current page range is. In composite bag entities, the page range is identified by the range start index, which, of course, is different for each bag item. In this article I explain how you can access the current page range for a bag item in a composite bag entity at runtime using an Apache FreeMarker expression.

While chatbots shouldn't pretend to be human, they shouldn't behave robotic either. A bot that has a single prompt for interacting with a human can only display that single prompt, which sounds like a broken record if the prompt needs to be displayed again. In Oracle Digital Assistant, there are two things you can do to make your chatbot appear more natural when prompting users. Both have to do with entities and the use of either the System.CommonResponse component or the System.ResolveEntities component to render the entity. A reoccurring theme you find on Oracle TechExchange is model-driven conversations that use entities to prompts users for input and for holding and validating user provided input. Custom entities, and when used in composite bag entities then system entities too, expose properties developers can set.

If you are not familiar with ATP, it is the new Autonomous Transaction Processing service on Oracle Cloud. It provides a fully managed autonomous database. You can create a new database in the OCI console in the Database menu under “Autonomous Transaction Processing” by clicking on that big blue button: You need to give it a name, choose the number of cores and set an admin password: It will take a few minutes to provision the database. Once it is ready, click on the database to view details. Then click on the “DB Connection” button to download the wallet that we will need to connect to the database. You need to provide a password for the wallet, and then you can download it: Copy the wallet to your WebLogic server and unzip it.

Peter Nagy and I presented a paper at the Oracle Groundbreakers Tour 2020 LATAM in August, 2020 titled “Go Java, Go!” where we asked ourselves the question “can Java microservices be as fast as Go?” We created some microservices and did some benchmarking, and we presented our results at that event. But there was more to explore, so we decided to turn our presentation into this post. We plan to follow up with additional posts as we do more testing and development. Premise We wanted to experiment to see if Java microservices could run as fast as Go microservices. Common industry belief seems to be that Java is “old,” “slow” and “boring;” and that Go is “fast,” “new” and “cool.” But we wanted to know if those characterizations were warranted or supported by actual performance data. We wanted a fair test, so we created a very simple microservice with no external dependencies (like a database for example), and with very short code paths (just manipulating strings). We did include metrics and logging, since these seem to be always included in any real microservice. We used small, lightweight frameworks (Helidon for Java and Go-Kit for Go) and we also experimented with pure JAX-RS for Java. We experimented with different versions of Java and different JVMs. We did some basic tuning of the heap size and garbage collector. We warmed up the microservices before test runs.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Streaming service is a great alternative to Apache Kafka in the OCI environment. It is a fully managed service so maintenance, security patching, replication, monitoring and metrics are literally one click away from your OCI console. Connecting to OCI Streaming with Helidon is as easy as connecting to Kafka, or actually it is quite the same because OCI Streaming understands Kafka clients. Streams are organized in the logical groups called StreamPools. When connecting to OCI Streaming with Kafka client, Streams are handled as Kafka topics and StreamPools as virtual Kafka clusters. If you configure Auto Create Topics to true in your StreamPool, it is equivalent of using auto.create.topics.enable=true in Apache Kafka.

I’ve been fortunate enough to be part of the unprecedented growth of developer services and tools that are now available for cloud application development. If I think back 5 years, I don’t think any of us would have imagined how quickly cloud application development has taken hold. This modern way of developing software is often referred to as cloud native. What is cloud-native? As one point of reference, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) defines it to mean using an open source software stack to be containerized, where each part of the app is packaged in its own container. These containers are dynamically orchestrated, so each part is actively scheduled and managed to optimize resource utilization. In addition, microservices-oriented development tools increase the overall agility and maintainability of applications. The benefits make tech media headlines every week, and it seems like a no-brainer, but some companies struggle with how to get started. One of the best options, if you’re unsure how to get started, is to be guided by those with experience in the cloud-native arena. Oracle is aware of these challenges and has developed a program to assist customers in this transition. The Developer Lighthouse Program (DLP) helps customers move off of ground zero and jumpstart their transition to cloud native application development. What is the DLP? The DLP provides technical advice and support for the organization’s development team. The program focuses on the developer team by providing them assistance with the move to cloud native. One of the main components to the DLP is a cloud developer day which provides expert assistance in the following areas for an application of your choice. Developer Cloud Day The developer cloud day is 6-hours of customized training. The 6-hours may be a one-day delivery, or it can be adjusted to meet the customer’s availability. Optimally, the delivery will not be more than 3 days of 2-hour instructions on each day. The topics offered are customized, cloud native topics that the customer chooses. These courses could be basic material such as Introduction to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Introduction to Kubernetes, Introduction of containers and Docker or they can be more advanced topics.

If you are working with Visual Builder Studio you probably noticed a big change when you logged in today - the service has adopted Redwood - Oracle's new user experience design language. All the functionality that you've been using is still here - but looking much better and with improved usability. This is part of the November release of Oracle Visual Builder Studio which was rolled out across all the cloud regions. There are several other new features in this release - you can read about them in our documentation here. For those who are just now picking up Visual Builder Studio for the first time, a key new feature is the new Free Build VM. A free build VM is provisioned when a new Visual Builder Studio instance is created. This VM can be used to execute the CI/CD automation for Visual Applications. This provides a simpler on-boarding experience for organizations developing Visual Applications and Oracle Cloud Application Extensions. Simply spin up a VB Studio instance and you are ready to do the complete development cycle without further configuration of compute/storage on the Oracle infrastructure side.

The new oj-selectSingle component is the recommended component for selection lists in Visual Builder starting with version 20.10. In past blog entries we showed you some of the advance features it offers such as advanced layouts and retrieving additional values beyond just the label. In this blog we show you one more capability - searching for a value across multiple columns in the list. To achieve this capability you'll need to populate your singleSelect using an Array Data Provider - this keeps the records fetched on the client, and enables you to search across the array of data. Array Data Provider has an attribute called textFilterAttributes that you can specify in its definition and will contain an array listing the fields that you want to allow searching on (make sure they are fetched when you populate the ADP). One tricky part, right now, is that we don't expose the textFilterAttributes attribute in the VB design time, so you need to switch into code view the page's json file, locate the variable definition, and update it directly there. You can see an example of this in the JET cookbook here, and the code I specifically used for the JSON file is: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

Paging control was a common pattern for controlling the number of records shown on a page and for fetching another set of records. Today, with the richer functionality provided by browsers, you can get a better user experience with native scroll functionality and a "load more" approach. I blogged about it in a previous entry that shows how scrolling/fetching/pagination works in VB tables by default. This "load more on scroll" approach is what you see in your Twitter and Facebook feeds for example. Google's search page seems to be one of the last remaining sites to stick with the "next 10 records" approach. At Oracle our UI experts also instructed our Cloud Apps development teams to not use paging controls. But, if you insist on adding a pagination control to your tables, here is a quick demo showing how to achieve this.  Oracle JET has a pagination control that can be added to a table, see the example in their cookbook. The component relies on a PagingDataProviderView variable. This type is not one of the variable types that are "natively" available in VB, but you can easily create one in a JavaScript function and assign it to a variable of type Any. You simply pass to it an array of data and use the following code to create the variable. (Important note - make sure to use the correct field as the idAttribute for the record - something I forgot to do in the video - this is important for correctly returning the rowkey in record selection events).

Chatbots should be confident when it comes to resolving intent and extracting entities. However, high confidence also means that the bot may sometimes not resolve information if the user makes mistakes while entering it. This article shows how you can add unsharpness to entity extraction using the Fuzzy Match option on an entity to allow users spelling mistakes or providing values that don't perfectly match a known entity value or synonym. Example The sample below show the intent tester with a query for car manufacturers based in Germany. The value list entity has the manufacturer's home country set as a synonym. The next image shows the same query with German instead of Germany. Note that German is not among the defined synonyms.

Parent-child relationships are a common pattern in software development. The relationship usually describes a one-to-many dependency between two sets of data, one of which (the child) depends on the choice of the other (the parent). For example, a chatbot that handles expenses may prompt a user for providing the type of an expense, which could be accommodation, transportation, parking fees, office supplies and many others. Then, if a user selects transportation as the type of expense, the system may prompts with a dependent list of options, that may include flight, rental car, train, taxi, bus, others  as selectable values. This article explains how to define parent-child relationships in Oracle Digital Assistant using the System.CommonResponse component and a composite bag entity. It's one more article on the topic of model-driven conversations (see:  TechExchange: Model Driven Conversations in Oracle Digital Assistant – Build Better User Interfaces By Using Entities For Everything ) Example The example you can download for this article is a skill that shows car manufacturers and their dependent car types. As shown in the image below, a use could type a message like "show a list of cars" for the chatbot to display a list of manufacturers. When the use selects a manufacturer from the list, then the dependent list contains the available car types for this selection.

Often the unexpected is the best teacher. While participating in a team effort to build a digital assistant, one of my skills failed after adding a component developed by one of my peer developers. The error message was pretty clear and reported my standard error handler as the dialog flow state the error happens. Apparently, the user message my standard error handler passes to a custom component contained invalid characters. If you look at the error message, you can see that the last user message is actually a JSON payload, not a string. The JSON payload actually contained a lot of double quotes, which actually seems to confuse the BotML. Don't ask me how the JSON payload got in, but this also is what made it unexpected. On my journey to find a fix, I came a cross a specific Apache FreeMarker expression that does not try to understand the message it passes but treat it as a raw payload. The dialog flow state below shows the original dialog flow definition. As you see for the Last user message property, it accessed the last user input and passed it to the custom component.

In a short time, Oracle has delivered several chatbots for PeopleSoft HCM and Finance applications that leverages the AI powered Oracle Digital Assistant (ODA) PaaS cloud. By subscribing to ODA service, PeopleSoft customers can easily deploy and extend these pre-built chatbots. In these early days of adoption, many customers are still evaluating the business value offered by chatbots for back office application like PeopleSoft, to justify their investment in ODA PaaS cloud. Chatbots offer an intuitive, conversational user experience compared to a traditional web UI. A well designed and integrated chatbot can offer rich user experience, high efficiency, and significantly lower customer support cost. In this article, I discuss the 3 aspects of chatbots that are critical success factors and when executed well, can provide a transformative deployment that offers business value and enriched user experience. Channels In chatbot lingo, “Channel” refers to “How” the chatbot is accessed by users. PeopleSoft delivered chatbots are accessed using a “Web Channel” from within the PeopleSoft application. This supports a straightforward scenario where users, instead of navigating to multiple pages, can get the information and perform the tasks from a single chat window.  However, this only barely scratches the surface of possibilities of deploying chatbots. Oracle Digital Assistant provides AI-powered voice recognition and native multilingual support across multiple channels that can far expand the reaches of PeopleSoft chatbots.

Throughout lockdown, deliveries were a lifeline to millions. From groceries and everyday supplies, to workout equipment and board games, we delivered it all. It’s been an honour to play a big role in keeping the country happy. From March to June, we handled around 2.5 million parcels a day – a volume that we only usually see during seasonal peaks at Black Friday and Christmas. And with these key calendar dates still to come, we don’t expect this level of business to stop any time soon – in fact, we’re predicting that we’ll deliver 3.5 million parcels a day during these periods. In just five months, we have experienced five years of growth. But the bigger picture has only served to remind us that to see success, we should focus on the little things. It’s the little things that make sure our big delivery machine can run day in, day out, even through these challenging times. A helping hand For us, every customer interaction is important. But with millions of deliveries a day, we need a helping hand. That is where Holly, our chatbot – and colleague – comes in. Holly has become an even more valuable member of the team during Covid. As deliveries surged – even our app reached 2.5 million downloads – having the right technology in place allowed us to remain open and communicating with customers as much as possible. Holly’s presence has meant millions of customers’ needs have been met in a relatively speedy and stress-free way –meaning less people put on hold, less pressure on customer support, and less frustration for everyone.

Today I read the announcement of OpenAPI (fka Swagger) support in API Gateway on OCI. I was wondering what that entailed and I decided to try it out. In short, this support means that an API definition can be uploaded to API Gateway, is validated for correctness and can be shared among people accessing the OCI API Gateway definition on OCI. Furthermore, an API Deployment can be created from the imported OpenAPI definition, with routes (of type Stock Response) for the paths in OpenAPI definition. I will demonstrate this in this article. Robert Wunderlich in his announcement wrote: Faster prototyping: A stock response API can be automatically created for developers and their consumers to test the APIs ahead of the implementation. A developer can add policy configurations around the stock response for deeper prototyping. I have not seen this automated creation of the actual stock response content. I am not sure if that is what he means, but that certainly would be nice. The documentation on this specific feature is pretty limited. So let’s quickly get going, with the simplest of OpenAPI definitions: I copied and pasted the definition to a file called open-api-3-0-simple.yaml. Then I opened the OCI Console and went to the API Gateway menu entry. On this page I clicked on APIs and on Create API Resource. I typed the name simple-api and up0loaded the very simple API definition.

We’re pleased to announce that API Gateway now supports the OpenAPI Specification! Overview OpenAPI is a description format for RESTful APIs that you can use to describe the capabilities and expectations of the API. An API description helps developers understand how to interact with the API. And for those who implement the API, the description is an agreed-upon understanding of the functionality. The API description helps teams implement APIs much faster and with confidence that the requirements are being met. There are numerous tools for designing APIs, including Oracle Apiary, Stoplight, SmartBear, and Postman, just to name a few. You can use whatever tool you want and add your API description into API Gateway for use throughout the API management lifecycle. Use case: Create an API deployment from the description The API deployment specification is the configuration of the API on the gateway. You can create the deployment directly by using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console, CLI, SDK, API, or Terraform. However, much of the required information, such as paths and methods, are already defined in the API description.

Oracle Functions is a serverless platform that lets you create, run, and scale business logic without managing any infrastructure. Today, we’re pleased to announce some key enhancements to Functions to make it easy for you to use it in more use cases: Longer-running functions, up to 5 minutes Increased maximum number of functions and applications Improved logging with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Logging Log-triggered functions using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Service Connector Hub Longer-running functions, up to 5 minutes You can now run workloads that need up to 5 minutes of function run time. Previously, this time was limited to 2 minutes. This increase will help customers who need the extra processing time for use cases such as: Fetching more data from databases, APIs, and third-party systems Importing more data with extract, transform, load (ETL) functions Running synthetic monitoring tests Performing memory heap analysis Processing batches of log data To use this feature, you can set the maximum function timeout value up to 300 seconds.

Sometime a REST call to the backend in your application could take too long, and you want to allow the user to cancel this operation mid-run. This is possible using an AbortController - a new interface that allows you to abort a web request (This interface is supported by most modern browsers). In the blog below I'll show how to use this technique in a Visual Builder application. The process is quite straightforward and the artifacts are shown in the video below. The steps to achieve this consist of: 1. Adding an application variable that will track the AbortController - this will be a variable of type Any 2. Add two JS functions at the application's level: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

In a digital assistant skill the intent component returns confidence score when resolving the user input.  Typically this is measured against a threshold to decide if the skill understands the user utterance or not. However there is a great conversational technique for when an intent is above the threshold but you choose to vary the response based on the confidence score. This article explains how to implement varying bot responses based on intent confidence. A sample skill is provided for download as a starting point for using this practice in your own Oracle Digital Assistant implementations.

Silicon Beach newcomer Ida Artificial Intelligence Inc. is bringing fresh ideas to enterprise management systems. The Santa Monica-based AI company helps create conversational user interfaces, digital agents and chatbot initiatives for companies, universities and government institutions. Ida’s automated configuration platform is essentially “a robot that can create a robot,” according to co-founder and Chief Executive Paul Isherwood. When integrated into a corporate enterprise or campus platform, Ida can process multistep administrative requests through a series of conversations. To transfer someone from one department to another, for example, a manager could send a short text with information about the adjustment to Ida, instead of filling out forms that have to be reviewed by the human resources department. Ida will then send out notifications and update the transfer in the system.

With growing acceptance and the focus on automation, customer experience, and enhanced communication, this may be the right time to consider incorporating a chatbot into both your business and marketing. Before jumping in and investing in this technology for your marketing strategy, it is important to understand both the pros and cons of chatbots. Pros of chatbots Let’s start with what makes chatbots so attractive and beneficial. As humans, we are good at improving when focused on a goal. We can become smarter, more productive, and increasingly efficient. To a certain point, we can also multitask. Scalable and consistent The problem is that we eventually hit a limit. A chatbot doesn’t. They can simultaneously handle every inquiry without hesitation–they are incredibly productive. So, the first advantage is helping a company handle a growing scale of customers and prospects without needing to add more staff. Doing so provides a consistent service experience that customers can rely on to be there when needed. Read the complete article here.

We are delighted to announce the availability of a major release for solutions to run Oracle WebLogic Server (WLS) on Azure Linux Virtual Machines. The release is jointly developed with the WebLogic team as part of the broad-ranging partnership between Microsoft and Oracle. The partnership also covers joint support from Oracle/Microsoft and a range of Oracle software running on Azure.  Software available under the partnership includes Oracle WebLogic, Oracle Linux and Oracle Database as well as interoperability between Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and Azure. This major release covers various common use cases for WLS on Azure, such as base image, single working instance, clustering, load balancing via App Gateway, database connectivity and integration with Azure Active Directory. WLS is a key component in enabling enterprise Java workloads on Azure. Customers are encouraged to evaluate these solutions for full production usage and reach out to collaborate on migration cases. Use Cases and Roadmap The partnership between Oracle and Microsoft was announced in June of 2019. Under the partnership, we announced the initial release of the WLS on Azure Linux Virtual Machines solutions at Oracle OpenWorld 2019. The solutions facilitate easy lift-and-shift migration by automating boilerplate operations such as provisioning virtual networks/storage, installing Linux/Java resources, setting up WLS as well as configuring security with a network security group. The initial release supported a basic set of use cases such as single working instance and clustering. In addition, the release supported a limited set of WLS and Java versions.

The days of rudimentary chatbots are fading as organizations leverage more advanced digital assistants instead to drive efficiency and productivity, and improve the customer and employee experience. Chatbots are built with a single purpose and need users to start conversations, but digital assistants can initiate conversations, complete tasks, and use AI to better understand requests while making advanced predictions and recommendations. Recent work-from-home mandates have led organizations across industries to rethink how they operate, and many are experimenting with digital assistants to fill new needs. They’re deploying digital assistants to help remote employees with policy questions, health and safety concerns, and self-service requests. Government organizations also are using digital assistants to help constituents. The Hammersmith and Fulham Council, which serves a west London borough, has been in regular contact with nearly 9,000 residents during the pandemic lockdown. This AI-powered robot identifies hundreds of households in need of extra support by contacting residents every two weeks via mobile phones and landlines to ask if they need help with medication, food, or mental health. The promise of digital assistants is too great for organizations to ignore or dismiss. Here’s how using digital assistants can support finance and supply chain teams so your organization can unlock that promise.

  I’m happy to announce that we have put the source code for project Verrazzano on GitHub at https://github.com/verrazzano. This is a big milestone for the Verrazzano team, with many more milestones to come! Why Verrazzano? We continue to see container adoption for both new cloud-native applications and existing traditional applications. And we continue to see adoption of Kubernetes as the container orchestrator of choice. Beyond that, there are some common needs, especially for enterprise users: · Ability to drive deployments from a CI/CD system, and optionally support GitOps workflows. · Ability to monitor all apps in a cloud-native way. This includes metrics, logs, and traces. · Simplicity around traffic routing and discovery – when customers deploy their application, routing to the application should be automatic, and routing from their application to other applications and to cloud services should be simple. · Everything must be secure – the application and the environment needs to be protected.

Introduction Today we are pleased to announce the availability of Tribuo, a Java Machine Learning (ML) library, as open source. We’re releasing it under an Apache 2.0 license on Github for the wider ML community to use. In Oracle Labs' Machine Learning Research Group, we've been working on deploying Machine Learning (ML) models into large production systems for years. During this time we've noticed a crucial gap between the expectations of an enterprise system, and the features provided by most ML libraries. Large software systems want to use building blocks which describe themselves and know when their inputs or outputs are invalid. In contrast, most ML libraries expect a pile of float arrays to train a model. Then at deployment time, they expect the input to be a float array, and they produce yet another float array as the predicted output. The description of what any of these arrays mean, or what the input/output floats should look like, is left to another system, either a wiki, a bug tracker, or written as a code comment. We don’t think developers want to add yet another database table per ML model just to explain what that array of output floats means.

About this Workshop This lab shows you how to deploy and run a WebLogic domain container-packaged web application on a Kubernetes cluster using Oracle WebLogic Server Kubernetes Operator 3.0.0 (the "operator"). The sample web application is a simple JSP page which shows WebLogic Server domain MBean attributes to demonstrate operator features. About Product/Technology A WebLogic domain can be located either in a persistent volume (PV) or in a Docker image. There are advantages to both approaches, and sometimes there are technical limitations of various cloud providers that may make one approach better suited to your needs. See Choose a model. This tutorial uses the Docker image with the WebLogic domain inside the image deployment. This means that all the artifacts and domain-related files are stored within the image. There is no central, shared domain folder from the pods. This is similar to the standard installation topology where you distribute your domain to different hosts to scale out Managed Servers. The main difference is that by using a container-packaged WebLogic domain, you don't need to use the pack/unpack mechanism to distribute domain binaries and configuration files between multiple hosts.
