Current production virtual machines (VMs) provide high performance execution of programs only for a specific language or a very small set of languages. Compilation, memory management, and tooling are maintained separately for different languages, violating the ‘don’t repeat yourself’ (DRY) principle. This leads not only to a larger burden for the VM implementers, but also for developers due to inconsistent performance characteristics, tooling, and configuration. Furthermore, communication between programs written in different languages requires costly serialization and deserialization logic. Finally, high performance VMs are heavyweight processes with high memory footprint and difficult to embed. Several years ago, to address these shortcomings, Oracle Labs started a new research project for exploring a novel architecture for virtual machines. Our vision was to create a single VM that would provide high performance for all programming languages, therefore facilitating communication between programs. This architecture would support unified language-agnostic tooling for better maintainability and its embeddability would make the VM ubiquitous across the stack. To meet this goal, we have invented a new approach for building such a VM. After years of extensive research and development, we are now ready to present the first production-ready release. Introducing GraalVM Today, we are pleased to announce the 1.0 release of GraalVM, a universal virtual machine designed for a polyglot world.

Docker Containers can be stopped and started again. Changes made to the file system in a running container will survive this deliberate stop and start cycle. Data in memory and running processes obviously do not. A container that crashes cannot just be restarted and will have a file system in an undetermined state if it can be restarted. When you start a container after it was stopped, it will go through its full startup routine. If heavy duty processes needs to be started – such as a database server process – this startup time can be substantial, as in many seconds or dozens of seconds. Linux has a mechanism called CRIU or Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace. Using this tool, you can freeze a running application (or part of it) and checkpoint it as a collection of files on disk. You can then use the files to restore the application and run it exactly as it was during the time of the freeze. See https://criu.org/Main_Page for details. Docker CE has (experimental) support for CRIU. This means that using straightforward docker commands we can take a snapshot of a running container (docker checkpoint create <container name> <checkpointname>). At a later moment, we can start this snapshot as the same container (docker start –checkpoint <checkpointname> <container name> ) or as a different container. The container that is started from a checkpoint is in the same state – memory and processes – as the container was when the checkpoint was created. Additionally, the startup time of the container from the snapshot is very short (subsecond); for containers with fairly long startup times – this rapid startup can be a huge boon.

  Open serverless project Fn adds support for broader serverless standardization with CNCF CloudEvents, serverless framework support, and OpenCensus for tracing and metrics. Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes tackles toughest real-world governance, scale, and management challenges facing K8s users today Today at Kubecon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2018, Oracle announced new support for several open serverless standards on its open Fn Project and a set of critical new Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes features addressing key real-world Kubernetes issues including governance, security, networking, storage, scale, and manageability. Both the serverless and Kubernetes communities are at an important crossroads in their evolution, and to further its commitment to open serverless standards, Oracle announced that the Fn Project now supports standards-based projects CloudEvents and the Serverless Framework. Both projects are intended to create interoperable and community-driven alternatives to today’s proprietary serverless options. Bringing Kubernetes to Maturity The New Stack, in partnership with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) recently published a report analyzing top challenges facing Kubernetes users today. The report found that infrastructure-related issues – specifically security, storage, and networking – had risen to the top, impacting larger companies the most.

Introduction It wasn’t that many years ago that service-oriented architecture (SOA) was the hot, new, bleeding edge enterprise computing paradigm. Most organizations and vendors jumped on that bandwagon and everything became “service-oriented”. Organizations and vendors both made great claims about how SOA would revolutionize the way applications were built, the amount of reuse that would be achieved, and how application time to market would be greatly reduced. In addition, applications built with SOA technology were supposed to be easier to scale dynamically and those businesses that embraced SOA would see vast improvements in the relationships between IT and the business. Unfortunately, the promises of SOA did not quite pan out across the board. Obviously, some organizations were successful, but far too many did not realize the promised benefits. There are many reasons why some succeeded and some failed but based on many years of first-hand experience building SOA applications and helping numerous customers with SOA-related challenges, here are three common reasons I noted those less than successful SOA projects: 1. Service Granularity. Organizations had a difficult time in defining what would be a service. Eventually, everything that was developed was referred to as a service. In a SOA environment, a service has versioning rules, is put under governance, and is normally categorized as intra-departmental, interdepartmental, or enterprise. To say that all developed code is a service would be overkill and it would mean tremendous overhead from an organizational and administrative perspective. Therefore, deeming everything a service normally means that none of this is put in place and the term service has no real SOA meaning. 2. Distributed Systems complexity. Developers had to be capable of understanding the complexities of distributed systems and the technologies involved with implementing distributed systems, think of transactions and security. Therefore, instead of focusing on implementing business logic a lot of effort was exhausted in worrying about the underlying technologies. 3. Scalability. The majority of “services” developed were deployed within application servers. This author is not saying application servers are bad but if one or two of the services needed to be scaled up or down it meant scaling the application servers. The scaling of application servers could be expensive, and most application servers cannot scale dynamically. The discussion in recent years has shifted from SOA to Microservices to Serverless and Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS). It is this author’s opinion that these technologies are really the next phase of SOA, maybe even what SOA should have been in the first place. Microservices and FaaS deliver on many of the promises that SOA had originally marketed; dynamic scaling, focus on the business logic and not the underlying technologies, and bounding the context of the service. What follows will place emphasis on FaaS (Microservices will be discussed in follow-up blogs) and the open source Fn Project backed by Oracle. Functions-as-a-Service A function is a simple piece of code that does one job, well. These functions are self-contained units of work. FaaS is a category of cloud services that raise the abstraction level so that developers focus on business logic and not think about servers, VMs, or other IaaS components. These functions are then deployed to the platform as containers. Fn Project The discussion which follows is about the Fn Project. Fn is a lightweight, open-source serverless compute platform, that can be deployed to any cloud and on-premise. It is simple, elegant, and extensible by design. This is an OSS project backed by Oracle. All development is in the open.

Join esentri and Oracle for Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) Oracle Developer Meetup. 2017 and 2018 brought many changes to the Java ecosystem. To name a few we witnessed faster release cycles, shorter support cycles and Oracle handing over the Java EE specification to the Eclipse Foundation. Furthermore, in 2018 Oracle announced that it will change its licence model in respect of Java. One result of this development is that a number of new choices for Java Virtual Machines emerged. Within our Meetup we would like to discuss these developments and provide some room to discuss new JVM choices. Furthermore, we will welcome Oleg Šelajev. He is a developer advocate for GraalVM. The GraalVM project enhances the Java ecosystem with an integrated, polyglot, high-performance execution environment for Java, Scala, Kotlin, Groovy, and other JVM-based languages and also JavaScript, Ruby, R, and Python, and C/C++ too. In his session you'll learn what you can do with GraalVM, from using it as the JVM JIT compiler, enhancing the JIT, running native and polyglot programs, compiling them ahead of time for faster startup, debugging your polyglot code using exact same tools for any language, to profiling performance and memory of your application and embedding GraalVM in a native application for portability. GraalVM offers you the opportunity to write the code in the language you want, which suits the problem the best, and run the resulting program really fast.

It might look like a challenge to run Java in Docker environment, by default Java is not aware of Docker memory limits. Check this article for example - Java inside docker: What you must know to not FAIL.  I was able to run WebLogic and ADF (Essential WebLogic Tuning to Run on Docker and Avoid OOM) on Docker previously without Java memory issues, using JAVA_OPTIONS=-XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures -XX:+ResourceManagement -XX:+UseG1GC. However after Docker upgrade to latest version, these settings didn't help anymore. I did't want to hardcode memory setting with -Xmx. Java started to consume all available memory in Docker and eventually was killed. You can see this from chart below - memory is growing, killed and after restart growing again: To solve this behaviour, I have applied settings from Java Platform Group, Product Management Blog - Java SE support for Docker CPU and memory limits. I have replaced JAVA_OPTIONS=-XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures -XX:+ResourceManagement -XX:+UseG1GC set previously with JAVA_OPTIONS=-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseCGroupMemoryLimitForHeap -XX:+UseG1GC. JAVA_OPTIONS=-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions - XX:+UseCGroupMemoryLimitForHeap -XX:+UseG1GC did the job - JVM stays in Docker memory limits sharp: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

  What if you need to verify - if row with given key exists in fetched rowset? This could be useful while implementing validation logic. ADF BC API method findByKey - will trigger SQL call and fetch row from DB, if row with given key doesn't exist in fetched rowset. Luckily there is ADF BC API method called findInCacheByKey, this method only checks for row in fetched rowset, without going to DB - very convenient in certain situations, when you actually don't want to bring record from DB, if it wasn't fetched. Now if we call custom method, where findInCacheByKey is invoked twice - you will see different results. First call is using key from fetched rowset - this call will find a row. Second call is using key, which doesn't belong to the fetched rowset - row is not in cache and call will return zero rows: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

Oracle Offline Persistence query handler - Oracle Rest Query Handler supports pagination for Oracle ADF BC REST service out of the box. Check my previous post to see how querying works through offline persistence toolkit for ADF BC REST service - Shredding and Querying with Oracle Offline Persistence in JET. Pagination is a must for large REST resources, its great that Oracle offline persistence toolkit supports it. Let's see it in action. I navigate through the data with left/right arrows, this triggers REST call with pagination parameters - limit and offset. These are standard parameters supported by ADF BC REST. Requests are executed online: All pages of data are cached by offline toolkit, if while offline we try to access previously cached page by executing REST request with paging parameters - we will get data from offline toolkit. Now I switch offline and try to navigate to the one of cached pages - data is retrieved from cache automatically: Read the complete article here.

Oracle JET Offline Persistence Toolkit supports offline update, create and delete operations. In this post I will describe update use case. Read previous post related to offline toolkit, where I explain how to handle REST pagination, querying and shredding - REST Paging Support by Oracle Offline Persistence in JET. This gif shows scenario, where we go to offline mode and then changing data in multiple rows. Data update happens offline and each PATCH request is tracked by offline persistence toolkit: As soon as we go online (Offline checkbox value is changed in Chrome Developer Tools) - requests executed while offline are replayed automatically against backend server: We should see, how update flow is implemented in JET in this particular case. Once data is changed, we call submitUpdate function. This function in turn calls JET Model API function save. This triggers PATCH call to back-end to update data. If we are offline, JET offline persistence toolkit, transparently records PATCH request to be able to replay it later while online. There are no specific code changes needed by developer to support offline logic during REST call: Read the complete article here.

Visual conversation flow is a first thing to create, when you want to build chatbot. Such flow will help to define proper set of intents along with dialog path. Otherwise it is very easy to get lost in conversation transitions and this will lead to chatbot implementation failure. Our chatbot for medical system doesn't make any decisions, instead it helps user to work with enterprise system. It gets user input and during conversation leads to certain API call - which at the end triggers enterprise system to execute one or another action. If user is looking for patient blood pressure results, chatbot will open blood pressure module with patient ID. If user wants to edit or review blood pressure results in general, chatbot will load blood pressure results module without parameters. This kind of chatbot is very helpful in large and complex enterprise systems, this helps to onboard new users much quicker without extra training for system usage. Example of visual conversation flow for chatbot: Conversation intents can be logged in JSON file. Where you should list conversation patterns mapped with tags, responses and contextual information. Chatbot is not only about machine learning and user input processing, very important is to handle conversation contextual flow and usually this is done outside of machine learning area in another module. We will look into it later. Machine learning with neural network is responsible to allow chatbot to calculate tag probability based on user input. In other words - machine learning helps to bring the best matching tag for current sentence, based on predefined intents patterns. As long as we get probability for the intent tag - we know what user wants, we can set conversation context and in the next user request - react based on current context: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

Oracle Bot comes with a very sophisticated language detection and translation service. You can attach either a Microsoft or Google service to the environment and make use of it within your bot. Oracle Bots dev guide talks about it here. But, these translation services are not free. So for my development purposes I created a custom component, which does the same for me but for FREE. Introducing Yandex APIs (https://tech.yandex.com/translate/). It is simple and easy to use. And most importantly it is free. Yandex supports over 90 different languages. The only thing you need to do is, register and create an API key for yourself. Step 1: Register and create an API key : https://translate.yandex.com/developers/keys Step 2: Download the custom component from my GitHub here. Step 3: Update the "detect_language.js" and add your key to the detectLanguage() function. Read the complete article here.

Oracle Bots comes with platform Translation services, which you can connect to Google or Microsoft services to translate the bot to user default locale. But what if you want to control this auto-translation and restrict the bot to only a few languages. Or want to do Intent matching properly or extracting the Entities properly depending on the language. In the following Bot Design pattern, I will explain how to approach a development of an Oracle Bot which support multiple languages with different Intents and Entity sets. Before I start, I have to give credit to Oracle A-Team for this, they are the one who first introduced this, I am merely a message-borrower in there. So special thanks to Tamer Qumhieh and Steven Davelaar. The Situation You need to create a bot which can respond to multiple languages, with proper Intent matching and Entity identification. Also, the implementation later can be extended to new languages with minimal changes to existing bot implementation. The Pattern You need to create a Master-Bot, which will hold the Intents, Entities, Dialog Flow, Custom Component mapping and Channel(Facebook, Webhook) mapping of the bot. Then you need to create language specific bots, which will only hold Intents and Entities(optionally, only if you have a requirement to match language specific entities).

2017 was a banner year for chatbots, and 2018 is expected to be another one. Young people in particular refuse to download specific mobile applications just to get in touch with specific organizations. In the same way they communicate with friends and social media followers, young people like to use speech or messengers such as Facebook to book, buy, order, or complain about products and services. Leveraging conversation as a channel for business has become a necessity for organizations to stay connected with this new generation of consumers. Many companies, especially those that focus on customer service, have already reacted to the trend and added chat capabilities to their websites. But how scalable is customer service where each incoming customer message is answered by a human? If message volume exceeds the human capacity to handle it, customers would likely experience the same delays and frustrations users experience when waiting on traditional call centers for an agent to pick up and handle the call. This is where chatbots can help, because their job is to automate conversation between users and services on the conversational channel. So what is a chatbot? A chatbot is computer program that simulates a conversation with a human to serve users on the conversational channel. Often, chatbots are associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning. Though you could easily build bots without these technologies, the majority of chatbots are built based on artificial intelligence and machine learning in order to understand the intent of and extract information from user input, which in most cases is free text or speech. Oracle Intelligent Bots is a feature of Oracle Mobile Cloud Enterprise—which is part of Oracle Cloud Platform—for building multichannel mobile back ends and bots. Using Oracle Intelligent Bots and following the instructions in this article, you are going to build a pizza bot that leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to understand user intent and to extract values from user input. To access Oracle Intelligent Bots, sign up for a free Oracle Mobile Cloud Enterprise trial. About the Sample Bot Following the steps in this hands-on article, you will build a simple pizza bot. The process will familiarize you with the Oracle Intelligent Bots user interface and the terminology involved in building chatbots.

End of last year I wrote how to create a demo community of users in your Weblogic using wlst. Using these scripts I wanted to do the same at my current customer: creating test users in the DefaultAuthenticator. However, I faced that the minimum password length was 8, while one of the user failed creation, because the password was the same as the user, and only 5 characters long. So I need to change the password validator. And preferably using WLST (of course). Now, the password validator of de authenticator can also be found through the console. However, the Weblogic realm also has a system password validator. Both have a default length of 8. Let me show you some snippets (that you can add to the create users script, or your own purpose), on how to change the minimum password length. First a method to get the default realm: Read the complete article here.

  Recently, I have been playing a lot with Functions and Project Fn. Eventually, I got to the point where I had to go beyond a playground on my laptop and go to the real wild world. An idea of running Fn on a K8s cluster seemed very attractive to me and I decided to do that somewhere on prem or in the cloud.  After doing some research on how to install and configure K8s cluster on your own on a bare metal I came to a conclusion that I was too lazy for that. So, I went (flew) to the cloud. In this post I am going to show how to run Fn on Kubernetes cluster hosted on the Google Cloud Platform. Why Google? There are plenty of other cloud providers with the K8s services. The thing is that Google really has Kubernetes cluster in the cloud which is available for everyone. They give you the service right away without asking to apply for a preview mode access (aka we'll reach out to you once we find you good enough for that), explaining why you need it, checking your background, credit history, etc. So, Google. Once you got through all formalities and finally have access to the Google Kubernetes Engine, go to the Quickstarts page and follow the instructions to install Google Cloud SDK. If you don't have kubectl installed on your machine you can install it with gcloud: gcloud components install kubectl Follow the instructions on Kubernetes Engine Quickstart to configure gcloud and create a K8s cluster by invoking the following commands: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

Introduction It wasn’t that many years ago that service-oriented architecture (SOA) was the hot, new, bleeding edge enterprise computing paradigm. Most organizations and vendors jumped on that bandwagon and everything became “service-oriented”. Organizations and vendors both made great claims about how SOA would revolutionize the way applications were built, the amount of reuse that would be achieved, and how application time to market would be greatly reduced. In addition, applications built with SOA technology were supposed to be easier to scale dynamically and those businesses that embraced SOA would see vast improvements in the relationships between IT and the business. Unfortunately, the promises of SOA did not quite pan out across the board. Obviously, some organizations were successful, but far too many did not realize the promised benefits. There are many reasons why some succeeded and some failed but based on many years of first-hand experience building SOA applications and helping numerous customers with SOA-related challenges, here are three common reasons I noted those less than successful SOA projects: 1. Service Granularity. Organizations had a difficult time in defining what would be a service. Eventually, everything that was developed was referred to as a service. In a SOA environment, a service has versioning rules, is put under governance, and is normally categorized as intra-departmental, interdepartmental, or enterprise. To say that all developed code is a service would be overkill and it would mean tremendous overhead from an organizational and administrative perspective. Therefore, deeming everything a service normally means that none of this is put in place and the term service has no real SOA meaning. 2. Distributed Systems complexity. Developers had to be capable of understanding the complexities of distributed systems and the technologies involved with implementing distributed systems, think of transactions and security. Therefore, instead of focusing on implementing business logic a lot of effort was exhausted in worrying about the underlying technologies. 3. Scalability. The majority of “services” developed were deployed within application servers. This author is not saying application servers are bad but if one or two of the services needed to be scaled up or down it meant scaling the application servers. The scaling of application servers could be expensive, and most application servers cannot scale dynamically. The discussion in recent years has shifted from SOA to Microservices to Serverless and Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS). It is this author’s opinion that these technologies are really the next phase of SOA, maybe even what SOA should have been in the first place. Microservices and FaaS deliver on many of the promises that SOA had originally marketed; dynamic scaling, focus on the business logic and not the underlying technologies, and bounding the context of the service. What follows will place emphasis on FaaS (Microservices will be discussed in follow-up blogs) and the open source Fn Project backed by Oracle. Functions-as-a-Service A function is a simple piece of code that does one job, well. These functions are self-contained units of work. FaaS is a category of cloud services that raise the abstraction level so that developers focus on business logic and not think about servers, VMs, or other IaaS components. These functions are then deployed to the platform as containers. Fn Project The discussion which follows is about the Fn Project. Fn is a lightweight, open-source serverless compute platform, that can be deployed to any cloud and on-premise. It is simple, elegant, and extensible by design. This is an OSS project backed by Oracle. All development is in the open. Let’s begin by going through a simple scenario of building a function, testing, and deploying it locally. The scenario is a simple one, but the example can serve as the basis for any type of function and can be extended to more complex functions. What is implemented in the function is not important, but rather how to package, deploy, and run the function on the FaaS platform. In order to demonstrate the end-to-end flow, and not worry about an external cloud service, the sample will run the Fn server locally. This is a very powerful feature of the Fn project. What is tested locally will execute the same way in the cloud. In order to get started follow the instructions to download the Fn CLI and start the Fn server. This information can be found at Fn Project. In order to execute Fn you need to have the following: • Docker installed • Docker Hub Account or another Docker compliant registry. You can even install the Docker container to run a registry locally. If you are planning to only do local development, testing, and deployment then this prerequisite is not a requirement. The screenshot below shows the start of the local running Fn Server. The server listens on port 8080 and this cannot be changed if you are using the `fn start` command. To run on another port, you can start the server directly using `docker start` (see instructions here). Therefore, if you have other components listening on port 8080 then you will have to shut down that component.

ADF remote regions - functionality available in the latest ADF 12c versions. ADF remote region runs on different server and content is delivered to consuming module through ADF remote region servlet. This allows to decouple large enterprise system into separate modules, each running independently on separate servers. Gained advantage - system becomes more scalable and reliable, even if several modules will be down, system will continue to be functional. Concept of ADF remote regions, reminds me closely microservices architecture. Microservices - also known as the microservices architecture - is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services, which implement business capabilities. The microservices architecture enables the continuous delivery/deployment of large, complex applications. It also enables an organization to evolve its technology stack (as describe here). Let's see how ADF remote regions are configured and consumed. Sample application (available for download from GitHub repository) is based on Employees and Jobs modules. Each module is deployed on different servers, Employees module is consumed in Jobs. Microservices here - Employees table. This table comes from loosely coupled service and is consumed within Jobs module: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

I think offline functionality topic should become a trend in the future. Its great that Oracle already provides solution for offline - Oracle Offline Persistence toolkit. This is my second post related to offline support, read previous post - Oracle Offline Persistence Toolkit - Simple GET Response Example with JET. I have tested and explained with sample app how it works to handle simple GET response offline. While today I would like to go one step further and check how to filter offline data - shredding and querying offline. Sample app is fetching a list of employees - Get Employees button. It shows online/offline status - see icon in top right corner. We are online and GET response was cached by persistence toolkit: We can test offline behaviour easily - this can be done through Chrome Developer Tools - turn on Offline mode. Btw, take a look into Initiator field for GET request - it comes from Oracle Offline Persistence toolkit. As I mention it in my previous post - once persistence toolkit is enabled, all REST calls are going through toolkit, this is how it is able to cache response data: Read the complete article here.

This week I had some interesting Oracle JET discussions with a couple of developers at one of our customers. One of the things was regarding the inline use of CSS that I found in the Views of the Modules. I didn't think that made sense so, after asking, I was told that this was because they did not find a way to use specific CSS per module. The question was if it was possible to use one specific CSS per Module in an Oracle JET Application. Besides that I thought it might also be useful to put everything that belongs to a module in its own folder. That could help developers to get a better understanding of the structure of the application. Besides that it is more like the structure of Oracle JET Composite Components where also everything that belongs to that component is under one folder. Obviously this should be possible by explicitly loading a CSS in the view of the module. Geertjan already blogged about it : https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/referencing-css-from-an-oracle-jet-module. The same goes for restructuring the JET application into a more functional architecture: https://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan/restructuring-of-oracle-jet-applications So nothing really new here, although it is a slightly different approach. Just writing up things here for my own reference. Feel free to use this if you like. In this post I will describe the implementation somewhat more detailed and have a working sample application available. For this blogpost I used the simple application that can be create on with the Oracle JET CLI. I will show you the steps to go from that to the "alternate" architecture. The goal is to have all files for one module in one specific folder. Read the complete article here.

Welcome to the 3rd article on our new Blog series about Oracle JET and Oracle Cloud. Today we’ll start designing our application, starting with its Data Model. For that, well be focusing on Oracle’s SQL Developer Data Modeler as our tool and design the application’s underlying data model. So, without further ado, let’s dig right in. Data Modeling Workflow Let’s start our SQL Developer and go right into the Data Modeler. Open up the model browser and save the existing design with a proper, understandable name. I chose “OJetBlog-DataModel”. Accessing the Data Modeler Browser Save the design to give it a proper name Once you have done this, you can start working on your Logical Model. As you know, there are several models to represent your data model, from the most high level (not bound by the RDBMS) to the Physical Model that is totally dependent on the RDBMS. For our exercise, we’ll model our application in our Logical Model, pass it through to the Relational Model, and the Physical Model, through the generations of specific DDL for our Oracle Cloud Database. Any changes that we need to make in our database will be performed at the Logical level and then, using the SQL Developer tools, passed through our workflow and finalized in a DDL that will be executed on our DB. Keeping this workflow ensures coherence in your designs and a properly documented and maintained DB.

  JET Composite Components - are useful not only to build UI widgets, but also to group and simplify JET code. In this post, I will show how to wrap JET table into composite component and use all essential features, such as properties, methods, events and slots. Sample app code is available on GitHub. JET table is wrapped into composite component, it comes with slot for toolbar buttons: What is the benefit to wrap such components as JET table into your own composite? To name a few: 1. Code encapsulation. Complex functionality, which requires multiple lines of HTML and JS code resides in the composite component 2. Maintenance and migration. It is easier to fix JET specific changes in single place 3. Faster development. There is less steps to repeat and less code to write for developer, when using shorter definition of the wrapper composite component Sample application implements table-redsam component, for the table UI you can see above. Here is component usage example, very short and clean: Read the complete article. here   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

The essential message of this article is the automation for Oracle JET application of the flow from source code commit to a running application on Oracle Application Container Cloud, as shown in this picture: I will describe the inside of the “black box” (actually light blue in this picture) where the build, package and deploy are done for an Oracle JET application. The outline of the approach: a Docker Container is started in response to the code commit. This container contains all tooling that is required to perform the necessary actions including the scripts to actually run those actions. When the application has been deployed (or the resulting package is stored in an artifact repository) the container can be stopped. This approach is very clean – intermediate products that are created during the build process simply vanish along wih the container. A fresh container is started for the next iteration. Note: the end to end build and deploy flow takes about 2 to 3 minutes on my environment. That obviously would be horrible for a simple developer round trip, but is actually quite acceptable for this type of ‘formal’ release to the shared cloud environment. This approach and this article are heavily inspired by this article (Deploy your apps to Oracle Cloud using PaaS Service Manager CLI on Docker) on Medium by Abhishek Gupta (who writes many very valuable articles, primarily around microservices and Oracle PaaS services such as Application Container Cloud). Note: this article focuses on final deployment of the JET application to Application Container Cloud. It would however be quite simple to modify (in fact to simplify)the build container to not deploy the final ZIP file to Application Container Cloud, but instead push the file to an artifact repository or deploy to some other type of runtime platform. It would not be very hard to take the ZIP file and create a fresh Docker Container with that file that can be deployed on Kubernetes Cluster or any Docker runtime such as Oracle Container Cloud.

Loyco is using Oracle JET to build and run their financial reporting application. This application improves user experience and allows easy navigation through financial data reports. Without extra roundtrips to the REST back-end service, drilldowns related to Cash, Subledger, Payments and Journal modules are displayed using such JET components as tables, lists and charts. All this allows seamless and fast data browsing on the client side. The application is relying on a dynamic UI, which provides filter and sort options for data based on such criteria as financial year, month, etc. There are no static filters defined, the UI is driven by dynamic master-detail data coming from the back-end. The Oracle JET based Loyco Finance application was built by the Red Samurai Consulting team. Read the complete article here.

We are building our own enterprise chatbot. This chatbot helps enterprise users to run various tasks - invoice processing, inventory review, insurance cases review, order process - it will be compatible with various customer applications. Chatbot is based on TensorFlow Machine learning for user input processing. Machine learning helps to identify user intent, our custom algorithm helps to set conversation context and return response. Context gives control over  sequence of conversations under one topic, allowing chatbot to keep meaningful discussion based on user questions/answers. UI part is implemented in two different versions - JET and ADF, to support integration with ADF and JET applications. Below is the trace of conversations with chatbot: User statement Ok, I would like to submit payment now sets context transaction. If word payment is entered in the context of transaction, payment processing response is returned. Otherwise if there is no context, word payment doesn't return any response. Greeting statement - resets context. Intents are defined in JSON structure. List of intents is defined with patterns and tags. When user types text, TensorFlow Machine learning helps to identify pattern and it returns probabilities for matching tags. Tag with highest probability is selected, or if context was set - tag from context. Response for intent is returned randomly, based on provided list. Intent could be associated with context, this helps to group multiple related intents: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

Using SMS is a very convenient way to communicate with someone these days and most people prefer to use SMS instead of email. SMS also gives you a history of the conversation while, for example, the context of a phone call can be easily forgotten if you don’t take notes. In the same way that you text someone these days, you could also apply the same idea to business communications. The convenience, flexibility and speed of SMS can dramatically improve customer service. On top of that, several business tasks could be easily automated. Just imagine that you can get the status of something you order without waiting in line or having to download a particular mobile app by just texting the business’ phone number. Having the capability of serving your users using SMS with an Intelligent Bot performing the interactions is the exact scenario we are going to explore in this article.

The key to building a successful chatbot is to ensure that the bot and the user can have a conversation that both sides understand. How well the bot understands the conversation depends in part on the quality and amount of end user utterance data. In Oracle Intelligent Bots, sample utterances define a base set of phrases (which would be regarded as typical phrases for that intent) that are used to train the bot to resolve user intent. In this article we offer some general guidance for designing the utterances for your intents, with specific attention to the case when you do not have access to a set of actual end user utterances.

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 an URL. ADFS does support a URL to get the metadata from the Service Provider, being Weblogic12c servicing your application. This prevents that you need to hand over the xml file every time you change/update your configuration. For instance because of expired certificates. How nice would it be if Weblogic supported this? Well, actually, you can! Sort of... Weblogic does support to service a document-folder, like the htdocs folder of Apache. To do so, you need to create a war file, with only a weblogic.xml file that couples a context-root to a certain folder. And apparently Glassfish can do so too! When you install ORDS on Weblogic, following the steps, you generate an i.war that is actually the example for this post. You could extract that file and adapt it for this purpose. But I wanted to be able to generate it. Doing so I could reuse this for several other purposes if I would need to.

We are pleased to announce the release and open sourcing of the Technology Preview version of the Oracle WebLogic Server Kubernetes Operator! We are releasing this Operator to GitHub for creating and managing a WebLogic Server 12.2.1.3 domain on Kubernetes. We are also publishing a blog that describes in detail how to run the Operator, how to stand up one or more WebLogic domains in Kubernetes, how to scale up or down  a WebLogic cluster manually or automatically using the WebLogic Diagnostics Framework (WLDF) or Prometheus, how the Operator manages load balancing for web applications deployed in WebLogic clusters, and how to provide integration for managing Operator logs through ElasticSearch, logstash and Kibana. A Kubernetes Operator is "an application specific controller that extends the Kubernetes API to create, configure, and manage instances of complex applications". We are adopting the Operator pattern and using it to provide an adapter to integrate WebLogic Server and Kubernetes, allowing Kubernetes to serve as a container infrastructure hosting WebLogic Server instances. And so the WebLogic Server Kubernetes Operator is an operator that extends Kubernetes to create, configure, and manage a WebLogic domain.

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 put up a service in the cloud which has really powerful capabilities. One of these powerful modules inside the Management Cloud is the Security Monitoring & Analystics, or SMA. With this module any SIEM or SOC can detect, identify and monitor the following: Securiity threats from in and outside the company Fraud detection Compliancy violations Inside SMA When you are in SMA it pretty much look like the other OMC components, but it has it's focus on security. Entering the first dashboard you can see immediately an overview of the activity of you users and their possible risky actionsWhen you login into OMC, you can click on the SMA module if you have the proper cloud subscriptions Inhere you will start in the main SMA landing page showing the “Users” Dashboard, but you can configure dashboards for yourself if you want.In this page you see: 1. Users – shows the total number of risky users 2. Threats - shows total, critical, high, medium and low risk threats 3. Assets – shows the total number of risky assetsClicking on the threats you'll can get more details on persons actions which came out of the analysis of the identity management logs or via user data upload. You can see the company, manager, wand specific user details and status such as lockouts, locations, email adresses and so on.To look down deeper you can identify a kill chain. A kill chain is a series of executions which might lead into some kind of destruction or illegal access/actions.

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 follow the steps without the need for a development environment. The way I have structured this post mans that you can follow every step using a web browser. I have attempted to focus more on consuming the dockerised application that a developer has already built. For the purpose of this exercise I am using the example Medical Records application that some of you may be familiar with from some of my previous blog posts. For those not familiar with the application, it consists of a Node.js web application that interacts with a MongoDB database. The web application surfaces a number of REST APIs (eg Get / POST Patient , GET / POST Physician, GET/POST Observations etc), and uses Swagger UI so that the REST APIs can be quickly interacted with by the end user. If you want to follow the steps in this blog post you will need a login for GitHub and Docker Hub and also a subscription or trial account for the Oracle Cloud in order to use the Oracle Container Service Classic (OCCS).

In one of my previous posts I described how to create a Docker container serving as a builder machine for ADF applications. Here I am going to show how to use this container as a function on Fn platform. First of all let's update the container so that it meets requirements of a function, meaning that it can be invoked as a runnable binary accepting some arguments. In an empty folder I have created a Dockerfile (just a simple text file with this name) with the following content: FROM efedorenko/adfbuilder ENTRYPOINT ["xargs","mvn","package","-DoracleHome=/opt/Oracle_Home","-f"] This file contains instructions for Docker on how to create a new Docker image out of existing one (efedorenko/adfbuilder from the previous post) and specifies an entry point, so that a container knows what to do once it has been initiated by the Docker run command. In this case whenever we run a container it executes Maven package goal for the pom file with the name fetched from stdin. This is important as Fn platform uses stdin/stdout for functions input/output as a standard approach. In the same folder let's execute a command to build a new Docker image (fn_adfbuilder) out of our Docker file: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

One of our main objectives with the Fn Project is to have a very easy and elegant user experience. From your first touch with our quickstart to building and deploying complex applications, we want to make the experience drop dead simple. Deploying a single function has always been easy — fn deploy — and now you can deploy an app consisting of any number of functions almost as easily. First, make an app.yaml file and put it in the root directory of your application, eg: name: myawesomeapp You should organize your Fn application code in a directory structure that matches your endpoints, for example: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

Microservices have taken the development world by storm! The promises of resilience, almost infinite scalability, development independence seem almost too good to be true. The problem is that all this comes with a price... a steep price. Listen to the stories and experiences behind a small team of developers and architects which set their goals on trying this new development architecture pattern, with our own José Carlos Rodrigues as one of the members, one of the very few members of the Oracle ACE family to live in Portugal. Understand the technical challenges and the business concerns, so that you can decide if it suits or not your own projects. In the end, as always, we'll have a very nice chat, some (a lot of) beer, soft drinks and pizza! Don't miss it, guys!

How to easily write and maintain functions in a cloud-agnostic way Although the term serverless computing will not win the award for the clearest terminology, it is one of the recent buzzwords in IT. It is more than a buzzword, though, and it is a very relevant concept for developers writing software that is intended for use in production in cloud environments. From On-Premises Monoliths to Serverless Functions One of the main reasons why companies are moving their operations from on-premises servers in their own data centers to centrally managed cloud systems is the cost reduction. Buying and maintaining servers can be very expensive and really makes sense only from a cost perspective if the servers are used at their maximum capacity for most of the time. In most real-world situations, though, companies experience peak loads during which the available servers cannot handle all requests fast enough. During quiet moments, there are too many servers doing nothing. The initial cloud offerings allowed you to add and remove servers when required. That implies a cost reduction for many companies, but servers are still kept running (and they have to be paid for). In many cases, the servers are capable of executing more requests, but there are fewer incoming requests, so the servers are mainly just waiting for work. Due to the granularity (the server is the unit norm), this is not really "pay per usage." Using container technologies such as Docker, it became easier for developers to write software in their own environment and deploy the same software in the same environment on cloud servers. Using container management software, it is even possible to scale servers when needed. But still, the unit at which "pay per usage" applies is still the server. It would be more cost efficient for cloud users if the billing unit were based on real server usage. Changing the billing unit to the amount of time a function is running is a big step closer to "pay per usage."

The technologies of tomorrow have the potential to change the world for the better, whether it’s via planet-scale apps scheduled with Kubernetes Federation or blockchain-based trust with Hyperledger. These two examples are both enabled by open source software (OSS)—but OSS is only one facet of Oracle’s commitment to being open. “When we say Oracle is open, we don’t just mean open source. We mean that we support non-Oracle technologies as well as the ability to work in an ecosystem that is broader than Oracle. We definitely believe that,” says Amit Zavery, senior vice president for Oracle Cloud Platform. Zavery describes a vision for Oracle that includes open source tools, databases, platforms, and languages; managed services to make OSS more intuitive to use; and open collaboration, innovation, and interoperability. “We’re taking important open source innovations and providing automation, management, and enterprise-grade capabilities around them,” Zavery says, pointing to Oracle Cloud services for managing a plethora of OSS technologies, including Kubernetes (such as Global Multi-Cluster Management Fn, Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, the Cassandra NoSQL database (by way of Oracle Data Hub Cloud Service), TensorFlow, and Caffe (via Oracle Artificial Intelligence Platform Cloud Service), to name just a few.

JDeveloper allows to easily create tables with the af:table component. The table allows easy access to the selected row or rows. However, if you are interested in which cell of a table has been clicked, ADF needs some tweaking. This blog is about how to tweak an af:table to get exactly this info. Use Case You like to know which cell in an af:table a user has clicked, e.g. to get some detailed information about the clicked item or cell in the selected row. The sample I show get the information about the current row, and column of the cell and the value of the cell clicked. The final sample will show the info like How to do it? The normal af:table component doesn’t give information about the cell a user has clicked on. The ADF pivot table offers this but is complex to use. We use JavaScript in form of a clientListener to intercept the click on a cell and a serverListener to call a bean method to get more data on the cell. This article 011. ADF Faces RC – How-to use the Client and Server Listener Component shows how to use clientListener and serverListener in detail. As we are interested in the selected cell, we add a clientListerer to each af:outputText which shows the column value in the af:table which fires on the click event. The clientListener calls a JavaScript method. In the JavaScript method, we build a payload of the UIComponent which is used to show the column value and the column name of the cell. To get this information we have several possible ways: Read the complete article here.

  Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit (JET) empowers developers by providing a free and open source modular client-side toolkit based on modern JavaScript, CSS3, and HTML5 design and development principles. In the development of JET, Oracle believes that following standards and specifications is extremely important whenever possible, especially in the context of enterprise applications. The W3C Web Component specification is one of these standards, with the potential of enabling a larger vision of building and consuming reusable components across a team of developers and, even, across organizations throughout the industry. Oracle itself is embracing the W3C Web Component specification to provide a consistent way of interoperating with, and extending, Oracle products from all corners of the company. For example, imagine the power of being able create an Oracle JET Web Component that can be reused across Oracle's PaaS, SaaS, and Database tools like APEX, without changing your code. In the same way, any other application with its client-side developed by means of JET can benefit from these advantages, too. In this two week Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) you will learn: Understanding the W3C Web Component standard. How Oracle JET follows the W3C Web Component standard. How to set up JET Web Components. The architecture of JET Web Components. Working with Attributes, Properties, Events, Methods, Slots. Translation/Internationalization of JET Web Components. Use Case: CRUD application development with JET Web Components. Use Case: Extending the Oracle Visual Builder Cloud.

Today I had to fix an issue in one of our ADF applications. For those of you working with ADF (as I do too occasionally) this might be valuable, so I decided to share this. The application is based on an old Oracle Forms applications and I had to implement the following functionality: FRM-41830 : List of Values contains no entries. In other words (more ADF like) : If you are about to render a List of Values and that List of Values contains no rows, just show a message instead of showing the List of Values. In this post I will describe how I was able to implement this although it turned out to be a challenge. Below are the steps that I took. Note that the Application can be downloaded from GIT. 1) I use a UI pattern where we use readonly table and do edits in a popup. That means that any List of Values will add an additional popup to the UI. Read the complete article here.

We have new tool from Oracle which can help to simplify offline logic implementation for JS apps.  In this post I will describe how to use Oracle Offline Persistence Toolkit with Oracle JET. However Offline Persistence is not constrained by JET usage only, this toolkit is available on NPM and can be integrated with other JS solutions. I should emphasise - offline toolkit primary role is to enable mobile hybrid apps to work offline. In my opinion, toolkit usage doesn't stop here. It can enable user to continue his work, when internet connection is available, but back-end server goes down. Technically user would remain online in this case, but in practice application will be broken - no response from back-end for REST calls. Offline persistence toolkit could help to solve such cases - user could continue working with local cache, until back-end is down. If you want to learn how offline toolkit works and how to use its API, go to GitHub page - check readme, add it to your JET app and try to run/test. Hands-on is the best way to learn something new.

We are excited to announce the open source release on GitHub of the offline-persistence-toolkit for JavaScript client applications, developed by the Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit (Oracle JET) team. The Offline Persistence Toolkit is a client-side JavaScript library that provides caching and offline support at the HTTP request layer. This support is transparent to the user and is done through the Fetch API and an XHR adapter. HTTP requests made while the client device is offline are captured for replay when connection to the server is restored. Additional capabilities include a persistent storage layer, synchronization manager, binary data support and various configuration APIs for customizing the default behavior. Whilst the toolkit is primarily intended for hybrid mobile applications created using Oracle JET, it can be used within any JavaScript client application that requires persistent storage and/or offline data access. The Offline Persistence Toolkit simplifies life for application developers by providing a response caching solution that works well across modern browsers and web views. The toolkit covers common caching cases with a minimal amount of application-specific coding, but provides flexibility to cover non-trivial cases as well. In addition to providing the ability to cache complete response payloads, the toolkit supports "shredding" of REST response payloads into objects that can be stored, queried and updated on the client while offline. The architecture diagram illustrates the major components of the toolkit and how an application interacts with it: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

As the name implies, a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application is supposed to not only access the underlying data, but also to allow the user to perform the entire set of operations to manipulate that data, including create, update, and delete operations. This article illustrates how you can build a CRUD application that supports both data access and data manipulation operations. To build the article sample, you will use Oracle JET, Oracle Database, Oracle REST Data Services, and Oracle SQL Developer. What You Will Learn This article provides an example to bring together the software components outlined above in order to build an Oracle JET CRUD application interacting with a dataset in Oracle Database. In particular, you'll walk through a set of step-by-step instructions, showing you how to Prepare a dataset in the underlying database to be used in an Oracle JET application Configure Oracle REST Data Services to turn an Oracle Database instance into a RESTful API service. Test an Oracle REST Data Services service's endpoints from the command line using the cURL tool Build an Oracle JET application that interacts with an Oracle Database instance via an Oracle REST Data Services RESTful service. Perform insert, update, and delete operations in an Oracle JET application against data stored in the underlying database The quickest way to implement the tasks above is to take advantage of an existing Oracle JET application, modifying its functionality as needed. So, the example application discussed in the rest of this article is based on the OracleJET-CommonModel-CRUD sample covered in detail in the "Creating a CRUD Application Using Oracle JET" section of the JavaScript Extension Toolkit (JET) Developing Applications with Oracle JET guide. The key point is that the OracleJET-CommonModel-CRUD sample supports every type of CRUD operation, and it includes a mock REST server that simulates (mocks) a RESTful service. So, by using this sample as the starting point for another demo CRUD application, you get a ready-to-use view, and you need to make some minor changes to the viewModel to make it work with a real RESTful service.

Machine learning topic is definitely popular these days. Some get wrong assumptions about it - they think machine could learn by itself and its kind of magic. The truth is - there is no magic, but math behind it. Machine will learn the way math model is defined for learning process. In my opinion, the best solution is a combination of machine learning math and algorithms.  Here I could relate to chatbots keeping conversational context - language processing can be done by machine learning with neural network, while intent and context processing can be executed by programmable algorithms. If you are starting to learn machine learning - there are two essential concepts to start with: 1. Regression 2. Classification This post is focused around regression, in the next posts I will talk about classification. Regression is a method which calculates the best fit for a curve to summarize data. Its up to you which type of curve to choose, you should assume which type will be most suitable (this can be achieved with trial and error too) based on given data set. Regression goal is to understand data points by discovering the curve that might have generated them.

Deploying your JET application in an automated way to your Pi (or other Linux based OS) is pretty easy. First of all; What didn’t work for me was installing jet-cli on my Pi, some dependencies are not available for the ARM-based SoC but luckily there other possibilities! What I will demonstrate here is how you can deploy your JET web application from your development machine straight to your Pi, using only 1 command. I have done this using a Grunt module named grunt-scp which allows you to use SCP (which makes use of the SSH protocol) to copy your web folder to your Pi. Read the complete article here.

Welcome to the 2nd article on our new Blog series about Oracle JET and Oracle Cloud. Today we’ll be working on two main subjects: · Setup our Oracle Cloud account, as well as the cloud services we need (Database, Storage. The Application Runtime Cloud Service will be configured in another article and maybe a few others along the way…) o If you already have an account and configured the necessary services, you can skip this. · Configuring our Oracle SQL Developer to connect to our cloud Database. · Create a test table in the Cloud. Without further ado, let’s dig into the cloud. Setup your cloud account The first thing you need to do is to create your Oracle Cloud account. You can go to Oracle Cloud’s homepage at https://cloud.oracle.com and either buy services outright or opt for a trial. In our case, we’ll go for the trial option. Click that green “Try for Free” button. The Oracle Cloud homepage You’ll be taken to the trial page, where you can create your free account (use the “Create a Free Account” button). This page also has some estimations on how much time will the free 300 USD cloud credits grant you. From my personal experience, those estimations are way off the mark. The real numbers are much lower. Trial page Anyway, once you click the “Create a Free Account” button, the site will take you to a sign-up form, where you’ll fill in your information and supply a mobile number for verification. Please take into account that you must provide a real mobile number, as Oracle will send you a confirmation code that you’ll need to put on the sign-up form. Also, pay attention to the Default Data Region: you should select the data center that is closest to you, to increase the overall performance.

The Critical Patch Update for October 2018 is released today. Oracle strongly recommends applying the patches as soon as possible. The Critical Patch Update Advisory is the starting point for finding relevant information. It includes the list of products affected, pointers to obtain the patches, a summary of the security vulnerabilities for each product suite, and links to other important documents.

We’ll kick off this year with a new blog series in Red Mavericks, devoted to a more pure development thread with Oracle development tools (broadly speaking). I was most impressed with Oracle’s own JET MOOC, which provided with a nice introduction of the toolkit, and allowed me to clean up those spider webs from my programming background and returned to the good old keyboard bashing routine. This posed a significant difference from what I’ve been doing in the last 10 years, which were mainly filled with Workflow and BPM projects. The Oracle JET MOOC also helped me return to a language I only grasped some 20 years ago… JavaScript. And since JavaScript is all the rage nowadays, it was the perfect excuse to (re)learn it using today’s programming patterns. Finally, the Oracle JET MOOC ended up with a very important message: give something back to the community and help others! So it only seemed fitting that I would take some of my time to set up something that could help others that, like me, are not (or no longer) into programming, and particularly into JavaScript. So this new blogging series is born. My goal is to publish a new article every 2 weeks, but if I manage to get a bit more time I’ll try to reduce it to a week’s interval. The Oracle JET Oracle JET is a toolkit released by (surprise…) Oracle, which addresses the need to build Enterprise applications in JavaScript. Its main focus is the frontend, with backend services being used mainly via REST web services. As mentioned several times by Oracle, JET is not a framework, but rather a toolkit, a collection of frameworks that have been put together, tested and enhanced to develop and deliver high-quality enterprise applications. So JET is not a direct substitute for AngularJS or React. It uses its components, such as JQuery and KnockoutJS, to address the same needs as those two JavaScript frameworks. Because the target is to build enterprise applications, JET incorporates thoroughly tested components that have been on the market for quite some time and are mature. This contrasts with the “Java Framework flavor of the week” approach, in which people adopt the newest framework because it’s the best thing since the invention of the wheel. Don’t get me wrong: going for the newest coolest stuff can be great. There are loads of applications in which using one of these newer frameworks can greatly reduce your work and deliver very good results. But, within organizations, there are several things to consider when choosing frameworks, such as how many resources are available in the market with that kind of knowledge (something that typically is very low on recent frameworks), what kind of community support is available, how do frameworks work with each other to accelerate development (and what side effects or bugs are there), etc… Organizations go for stability and maturity above all, because that ensures quality and risk reduction.

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 natural language understanding as core elements of their digital transformation strategy in 2018. Human resources (HR) is one area ripe for intelligent automation within an enterprise. AI-powered bots for HR are able to streamline and personalize the HR process across seasonal, temporary, part-time, and full-time employees. HR Bots Are Redefining the Enterprise Employee Experience According to George Elfond, CEO at Rallyware, “due to an increasingly distributed workforce, widespread adoption of mobile technologies and a changing employee demographic, which includes millennial workers, corporate training is getting reshaped and is becoming more data and artificial intelligence driven.” Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the WebLogic Partner Community please visit: http://www.oracle.com/partners/goto/wls-emea ( OPN account required).

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 to adapt the domain creation script. In the old script, the AdminServer is started right way, to add the managed server to the domain. In my before mentioned script, I do that offline. But since I like to be able to update the nodemanager.properties file I figured that out. Earlier, I created  a function to just write a new property file: Read the complete article here.

Oracle Traffic Director distributes the requests that it receives from clients to servers in the back end based on the specified load-balancing method and routes the requests based on the specified rules. When you configure your system for load balancing, you can configure multiple instances of virtual servers (for different sites or portals) that are associated with a single listener. For example, a hospital with branches in two cities may use different virtual servers and may still communicate through the same listener (to the server). In this tutorial, you learn how to create multiple virtual servers for different sites and how to attach unique certificates to each virtual server. Then, the virtual servers can communicate with the listener. Get the lab here.

In this blogpost I will share my first experiences monitoring a Fusion Middleware environment with Oracle Management Cloud (OMC). For this test drive I used a WebLogic SOA Domain running on a Virtual Box image on my local machine. OMC provides several components to monitor systems and infrastructures. I used the component Log Analytics. In order to upload log files from WebLogic Server to OMC an agent must be installed and configured on the target system. OMC defines different agent types with different responsibilities: Agent Types A gateway is an agent that acts as a channel between Oracle Management Cloud and data collector or cloud agents. Multiple data collector or cloud agents can communicate with Oracle Management Cloud through a single gateway.

In the last days i was searching a way to package my little Spring Boot app as a docker container and deploy that container to the Oracle Container Service Classic (OCSC). My first idea was to use the Oracle Developer Cloud Service to do that. My naive first thought was: „Hey two Oracle Cloud Services, that must be an easy task.“ But no, it was not an easy task, involved only some klicks on the console. It can be just easy, when i want to deploy simply the created .war file but docker containers… no. But what was the problem? Well, the Developer Cloud Service uses Hudson to build the code. So far so god. The problem here is, we have no docker installation an we can´t install it during the build. In the end, building the project is no problem, creating the container is actually impossible.
