An introduction to myself: To give this blog some context, I intend this blog to be an insight into how I learn the different technologies I’ll be in contact with at my business unit at Capgemini, ERP Cloud Solutions. As a degree apprentice developer in the team the posts should have a technical focus and that’s about as specific as I can be at this point. Fair to say I’m just as interested to see where this goes as anyone else. Preamble: Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit is an opensource framework for building UI’s and with a couple of my team already well established in using the technology this is where I started my journey…. How did using OJET benefit? Oracle JET has been an excellent tool to get involved with and most of its strongest features have benefitted my own personal journey throughout. Firstly, the manner JET has selected its libraries (open source, reliable, stable AND widely known) has been exactly what I’ve needed at this point of my development. Along with this, the forums and community around the product are well maintained and you can expect a well-informed reply within a short period of time, another excellent resource I’ve been happy to draw upon. This without mentioning what I believe is the most useful tool for any potential UI developer who would want to use JET, the Cookbook (link below). The cookbook gives a huge number of ready-made components that’re fully customisable and available for use, these components found themselves inside some of my teams own custom built components too, so there’s no concern around a lack of flexibility.

OOW’19 stands up from recent years OOW conferences with important announcement — Oracle Cloud Free Tier offering. This offering includes two free DB instances and two free compute VM instances. What else you could wish for the side and hobby projects? This is a strong move by Oracle and it should boost Oracle Cloud. Read more about it in Oracle Cloud Free Tier page. It was interesting to test how to deploy Oracle JET app to Oracle Always Free instance of compute VM. I will not go through the initial steps, related how to create VM instance and enable internet access (for the port 80). You can read all that in a nice write up from Dimitri Gielis post. Assuming you already have created Oracle JET app and want to deploy it. One way would be to set up Node.js and Nginx on the compute VM and pull app source code from Git. I prefer another way — to go through Docker container, Nginx would act as an HTTP server to redirect requests to Docker container port. But in this post for simplicity reasons, we are not going to look into Nginx setup — will focus only on JET deployment through Docker container.

Many of our customers are looking to expose data from existing Oracle databases in Visual Builder applications. In order to do this, you'll need to expose a layer of REST services on top of the database so Visual Builder could access and manipulate the data. One approach for doing this is to use ORDS (Oracle REST Data Services) - which provide a declarative way to achieve such exposure. In this blog we'll show you some of the basics of creating this connection.

Most organizations use separate servers for development vs. production. While developing your Visual Builder application you'll be accessing REST Services from the development server, but when you are preparing to go production you will likely want to switch the app to use the production version of the services. In the demo below I show you how to automate such a switch using build jobs in Oracle Developer Cloud as part of your continuous delivery process. (If you aren't already, you should first get familiar with how to integrate Visual Builder with the Git repository in developer cloud, and how to use Developer Cloud to automate the CI/CD of a VB app). The process is quite simple: We are hosting the code for our application in a private Git repository in Developer Cloud. The code for our application includes service.json files for each of the REST services we are consuming in our app. We can use a build job to take the code from the Git repository and stage or publish our app on any Visual Builder server. If we want to switch the REST service that we are accessing when we stage & publish, then we need to inject one more step into our build job - this step will modify the service.json file we got from the Git repository and will replace the service connection in the file before we execute the grunt tasks to stage/publish on our production instance.

Oracle Visual Builder provides a unified development platform that allows you to build both web applications - accessed from browsers - and mobile applications - installed on devices. The development environment however keeps the development of those two as separate things in Visual Builder. There are several reasons for this including among others the belief that designing a good mobile experience - small device and touch gesture - is different from designing an application that is used on a desktop with a mouse. That being said, the technology, framework, and app structure for both applications is basically the same. So, with a little hacking you can take an app that started as a web app and packages it as a mobile app. This is what the video below shows. While the core of the application is the same, there are several things we create in the wrapping artifacts of your mobile app that are different from your web app, for example your mobile app gives you a place to specify iOS and Android build configurations as well as PWA options. If you already have a web application in place, instead of manually adding all of these, it is easier to create the mobile app using Visual Builder, and then just copy the flows and pages over.

System intents exist in Oracle Digital Assistant for "help", "exit" and the "unresolvedIntent". The "help" System Intent, when resolved in Oracle Digital Assistant, generates a UI that consists of cards with the contained skills' invocation names and sample utterances. The image below shows the card for a Pasta Maker skill contained in a digital assistant. The invocation name "Pasta Maker" is shown as the title of the skill. A brief description and example utterances are provided to explain to the user how she could call the skill. A similar card is displayed in a carousel for all other skills in a digital assistant.

Using multi-select lists are common user interface widgets in mobile and web application development. In conversations, graphical multi-select lists are difficult to create because users not only would need to select values, they also would need to click on a button to progress to a next dialog flow state. Here, form based use cases as in web and mobile are much better suited for the use of multi select lists. Still, multi value selects is an options available in Oracle Digital Assistant. As shown in the image below, at runtime, the list value options are displayed for the user to type one or many list value options separated by a space character. Notice that though item 6. is "garlic oil", the selection also works by simply typing oil. The reason for this to work is that the multi select list is implemented on a custom value list entity, which makes smart entity extraction using synonyms an option. You could also select values by typing:  I want cheese and garlic and cream. The entity only selects values it knows about as entity values of synonyms.

Use a Python script that employs spaCy to help automate the training of your Oracle Digital Assistant chatbot. Creating intents and entities is one of the few time-consuming tasks that Oracle Digital Assistant developers may need to accomplish when defining a new skill (chatbot). Of course, rather than creating intent and entity definitions one at a time in the Bot Builder, you can import CSV files containing the intent and entity definitions, respectively. However, if you are creating a skill from scratch, you most likely don’t have those definitions in advance, even if you have a large volume of utterances—what the users say—gathered from real requests submitted by your customers. You still need to sort the utterances, based on the intent—user intention—behind them. And to create entity definitions, you’ll need to identify entities and look for synonyms for each entity—because an entity modifies an intent. This is where using natural-language processing (NLP) tools such as spaCy comes in very handy, enabling you to perform these tasks programmatically and, as a result, automating the process of generating entity and intent definitions.

As of Oracle Digital Assistant 19.4.1, the local deployment of custom components has changed to the point that custom component tar balls (".tgz" files) must now contain all node module dependencies. This change addresses the new Acceptable Use of the Public Registry announcement by NPM , Inc. The blog article referenced in this post explains everything you need to know about this deployment change and provides guidance on what to do or not to do. What Has Changed In previous versions of Oracle Digital Assistant, deployment packages contained only the custom component service sources and the package.json file that lists the node module dependencies. During deployment, the Oracle Digital Assistant skill then called 'npm install' on the package to install dependent Node modules from the Internet.  With the new deployment model in Oracle Digital Assistant 19.4.1 and later, the dependent Node modules must be deployed with the custom components. What You Need to Know: Creating New Custom Component Packages In version 2.2.2 of its Oracle Bots Node SDK ( https://github.com/oracle/bots-node-sdk), Oracle has changed the deployment to include dependent Node modules in the deployable package. The Oracle Bots Node SDK is the recommended option for you to build and deploy custom components, as well as webhook clients.

As a benchmark platform for secure data storage they are able to fill a niche that the Facebook-dominated chatbot sphere can not: A comprehensive architecture that interacts, stores data, learns and helps the organisation make better decisions on auto-pilot in one all-encompassing secure environment. In 2020 and beyond, no organisation can ignore the enormous shift in the way that information is collected, stored and analysed. Industries like healthcare, high-tech and government are much in need of smart learning systems as the possibilities of our systems continue to grow.

We are at the dawn of an artificial intelligence (AI) revolution and there is a lot of confusion about how this technology should be used to provide support for students, faculty and advisors in higher education. Terms like chatbots and natural language processing are thrown around, but many projects are not really AI and are not much better than the old IVR phone systems we hated. Press 1 for a better experience! Worse yet is that if you choose the wrong platform, you will be fighting a bad reputation and adoption issues for a long time to come. So let’s examine the top 10 features an effective digital assistant (or as some mistakenly term chatbot) should be offering your users. 1. Personalized answers, not “one answer fits all” Any chatbot can answer an easy question where everyone gets the same answer such as, “What is a FAFSA form?” or “How do I reset my password?” In higher education, however, rarely are answers so generic. Higher ed culture is built on autonomy such that there are very few of these one-answer questions. Each department and school tends to have their way of doing things.

At the Oracle Partner PaaS Summer Camp IX 2019 in Lisbon, held at the end of August, I followed a 5 day during workshop called “Modern Application Development with Oracle Cloud”. In this workshop, on day 4, the topic was “WebLogic on Kubernetes”. At the Summer Camp we used a free Oracle Cloud trial account. On day 4, I did a hands-on lab in which an Oracle WebLogic Domain was deployed on an Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) cluster using Oracle WebLogic Server Kubernetes Operator. In this article, I will describe the steps that I went through to get an Oracle WebLogic Domain running on a three-node Kubernetes cluster instance (provisioned by OKE) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in an existing OCI tenancy. Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE) is a fully-managed, scalable, and highly available service that you can use to deploy your containerized applications to the cloud. Use OKE when your development team wants to reliably build, deploy, and manage cloud-native applications. You specify the compute resources that your applications require, and OKE provisions them on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in an existing OCI tenancy.

We are pleased to announce another aspect of the partnership between Oracle and Microsoft. In early June 2019,  Oracle and Microsoft announced their cloud interoperability partnership. We are now announcing another key piece in that story: Oracle WebLogic Server on Microsoft Azure IaaS. In addition to the exciting work on the WebLogic Kubernetes Operator and Coherence Kubernetes Operator, the WebLogic team at Oracle is hard at work creating several interoperating Azure ARM templates and corresponding Azure Marketplace Offers to cover the most common needs of deploying WebLogic Server to IaaS resources on Microsoft Azure. The following collection of Marketplace Offers are all based on Oracle WebLogic Server 12.2.1.3 running on Oracle Linux 7.6. · Create a single VM with WebLogic Admin Only domain pre-configured · Create a N-node WebLogic cluster with the admin server on one VM and cluster members on other VMs.  Admin server and all managed servers are started by default when the provisioning completes. Admin Server and NodeManager are started as systemd services and CrashRecoveryEnabled is set to true for the NodeManager so even after a VM reboot servers are restarted automatically.  Additional nodes can be added to the cluster using the Azure CLI.

Microservices create challenges for data consistency and integrity that necessitate changes in the transaction processing and data patterns used by them. Traditional systems rely on two-phase commit and XA protocols that use synchronous communication, locking of resources, and recovery via rollback (or commit as the case may be). While this provides strong consistency and isolation it does not scale well in a microservices environment due to the latency of held locks and, therefore, is suitable for only a small subset of such use cases (generally those with lower throughput requirements) The saga pattern uses asynchronous communication and local resources only (no distributed locks) and recovery via compensating actions. This scales well and so is well suited for long running transactions in a microservices environment. Additional application design considerations are necessary, however, for read isolation and compensation logic and debugging can be difficult.

Helidon 1.3 is out and the big news here is support for MicroProfile 3.0. This new version of MP includes a newer version of the Metrics API. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, this new Metrics 2.0 API is not backwards compatible with earlier versions. Here is a summary of some of the non-compatible changes introduced: · Counters are now always monotonic · A new metric, concurrent gauges, exist to provide similar semantics to the old counters · Metadata is now an interface and a newMetadataBuilder class is provided · MetricID is the way to identify a metric and can be decorated with tags which are no longer part of Metadata It follows that if your application uses any of the features listed above, and you update it to use the latest metrics library, it will mostly likely break. Despite many of these changes being “sound”, they do introduce problems when it comes to upgrading your services.

  We are happy to announce the release of the new Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle ADF - version 12.2.1.4. This is part of the overall Oracle Fusion Middleware family of products that has been released today. You can download them here - JDeveloper / ADF. You'll find many new features in all the layers of Oracle ADF in both the design and runtime behaviors. Here is a quick overview of some of these new features: Oracle ADF Faces The focus here was on moving more logic to the client to reduce network trips between your browser and server. In addition we added several features that optimize running ADF Faces interfaces across devices in different sizes. · New inputSearch component - this component shows a list of values retrieved from a REST source of data and allows you to filter that on the client without additional round trips. We provide you with full control on how the data will be shown in the list, and searches can work across multiple columns of data. · New streaming capabilities - show your full ADF page even if some areas still didn't get the data they need - you can stream the data to those when it is ready. · Responsive panelFormLayout - automatically adjusts your form to the size of your browser screen, for example collapsing columns, and moving titles to the top - all with a single simple attribute setting.

I will explain how to reference JavaScript module function in Oracle JET HTML. In previous Oracle JET versions, we were using $root to access parent appController module. Syntax $root looks a bit like magic, it is better to reference module through a predefined variable. I will show you how. Sample app comes with number converter, which helps to format numeric value. For convenience reasons and better reuse, number formatting function is moved to a separate module. Our goal is to call function self.convertNumericValue from converter module inside our module HTML: Import the converter module into your target module. Make sure to define a variable for the import. Then define the local variable and assign it with the value pointing to the imported module. This will allow calling functions from the imported module, anywhere within our target module: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

Bots are the future. In fact, if you're wondering whether your business should create a bot, you're asking the wrong question. Bot-powered commerce is the future. This technology is still in its infancy, so most bots follow a set of rules programmed by a human via a bot-building platform, and one of them is Oracle Digital Assistant. In this session learn what is Oracle Digital Assistant and what features provide to build machine learning powered chatbots. Moreover, we will demonstrate how to code-free build in a matter of minutes a conversation. A set of Oracle Digital Assistant Katacoda scenarios will be available as well for anyone that wants to get their hands dirty and implement their own chatbot. Who should attend? Software developers, platform engineers, administrators (of database, applications, systems); architects; IT managers with some technical savviness and affinity who are using or plan to use the Oracle Cloud platform.

JavaScript app runs in a single thread. This means if there is a long-running resource-intensive operation - the thread will be blocked and the page will stay frozen until operation completes. Obviously, this is not user-friendly and such behavior should be avoided. We can use Web Workers, through Web Workers we could run long-running operations in separate threads, without blocking the main thread. Code running in Web Worker doesn't have access to UI DOM, this means logic coded in Web Worker should operate with logic which is not directly related to UI. Sample app contains commented code in dashboard.js. This code blocks main thread for 10 seconds, if you uncomment it - you will see that app becomes frozen for 10 seconds: Web Worker is defined in dashboard.js. Web Worker is a separate JS file, which is being used for Worker object. API allows to send and receive messages, this way we can communicate to and from Web Worker (start a new task and receive message when task is completed): Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

OOW'19 stands up from recent years OOW conferences with important announcement - Oracle Cloud Free Tier offering. This offering includes two free DB instances and two free compute VM instances. What else you could wish for the side and hobby projects? This is a strong move by Oracle and it should boost Oracle Cloud. Read more about it in Oracle Cloud Free Tier page. It was interesting to test how to deploy Oracle JET app to Oracle Always Free instance of compute VM. I will not go through the initial steps, related how to create VM instance and enable internet access (for the port 80). You can read all that in a nice write up from Dimitri Gielis post. Assuming you already have created Oracle JET app and want to deploy it. One way would be to set up Node.js and Nginx on the compute VM and pull app source code from Git. I prefer another way - to go through Docker container, Nginx would act as HTTP server to redirect requests to Docker container port. But in this post for simplicity reasons, we are not going to look into Nginx setup - will focus only on JET deployment through Docker container.

While developing a web site it is common to have multiple pages and navigate between from one page to another on some event. This is called navigation between pages. In VBCS application each pages are part of at-least one flow. A flow named  main and a page named main-start is created by default when we create an application. The main flow and its nested flows can each contain multiple pages. Let’s move ahead and see how to create navigation between pages. Create VBCS web application Create a VBCS application with name NavigationApp and Web application under this with name navwebapp. As I mentioned earlier, each VBCS web application comes with default flow(main) and page(main-start).

OAuth 2.0 (Open Authorization) is the standard protocol for token-based authorization. It allows clients (such as chatbots) to access protected resources on behalf of a resource owner without passing the resource owner's credentials with the request.  Chatbots created with Oracle Digital Assistant integrate with remote back-end systems through custom components that invoke REST services. For custom components to access protected REST endpoints, some sort of authorization must be passed in the request header.   Oracle Digital Assistant supports OAuth2 authorization through the built-in System.OAuthAccountLink component. You use the System.OAuthAccountLink component to get an authorization token, which you then exchange for an access token in a custom component call to the OAuth2 token endpoint, so that subsequent custom component calls can access protected REST resources. This article explains how to authorize custom component requests for OAuth2 protected resources using Facebook as an example. Facebook supports OAuth2 and allows a bot to access user profile information if authorized by the user. About the System.OAuthAccountLink Component The two most commonly used authorization options in OAuth2 · Client Credential Flow - Using the client credential flow, clients like Oracle Digital Assistant obtain authorization to protected resource through a shared client Id and client secret. This authorization flow type can be handled using a custom component only (subject of a future Oracle TechExchange article).

I've covered quite a few different topics related to Oracle Functions recently on this blog, but today I'll cover what probably should have been the first post in this series. In my previous posts, I showed you how to set configuration variables for your applications and functions, but I have yet to show you how to keep those variables secure. In this post, we'll look at using Key Management in your Oracle Cloud tenancy to encrypt and decrypt your configuration to do just that. Since this process involves multiple steps, I thought it would be helpful to give you an outline of the steps that we're going to take: · Create a KMS vault · Create a Master Encryption Key · Generate a Data Encryption Key (DEK) from the Master Encryption Key · Use the DEK plaintext return value to encrypt the sensitive value (offline) · Store the encrypted sensitive value as a config variable in the serverless application · Store the DEK ciphertext and the initVector used to encrypt the sensitive value as Function config variables · Within the function, decrypt the DEK ciphertext back into plaintext using the OCID and Cryptographic Endpoint by invoking the OCI KMS SDK · Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

In my last few posts we took a look at how to create serverless functions which interact with an Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP) instance - first with Java, then with Node. We invoked those functions using the Fn CLI, which was handy for testing, but obviously not so helpful when it comes to integrating these functions into our microservice applications. There are in fact several ways to invoke Oracle Functions, but in this post we'll focus on calling them via the OCI Java SDK. To get started, we'll need to include the OCI Java SDK in our project. I'm using Gradle this time, so my dependency looks like so (notice line 6): Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

The general availability (GA) of Oracle Functions and Events on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure begins a new generation of simplification and openness for cloud users and developers. Oracle Functions is a managed functions-as-a-service (FaaS) cloud service based on the open source Fn Project, and it provides a fully managed serverless platform for Oracle Cloud users. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Events is a managed event-routing platform based on the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) open CloudEvents standard. With it, cloud users subscribe to changes and automatically react to them using a variety of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services. Oracle Functions and Events work together to provide an event-driven serverless platform for cloud native application development. The GA of Oracle Functions and Events extends Oracle’s ongoing efforts to conquer complexity and promote open standards. As part of the Oracle Cloud Native Framework, announced at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2018, these new services are part of an inclusive, sustainable, and open cloud native development solution that includes Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE), Oracle Resource Manager (based on the open source Terraform project), Oracle Streaming, plus a broad range of related developer services.

We're pleased to announce the general availability in all commercial regions of Oracle Functions, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s functions-as-a-service (FaaS) platform. Oracle Functions makes it easy to build cloud native applications by letting developers focus on writing code rather than managing infrastructure. With Oracle Functions, you simply write, deploy, and call your function. There are no servers to provision, monitor, or upgrade—it’s serverless! Functions—What Are They Good For? Functions are ideal for dealing with event-driven or intermittent workloads, as well as workloads with spiky usage patterns. Functions pricing is pay-as-you-go, so there’s no charge for idle time. Why pay for a function that’s doing nothing? Oracle Functions is also autoscaling, so if your functions experience a surge in usage, the platform scales up to handle the load and then scales down when usage declines. This saves you money and eliminates the need to forecast peak demand and manage resource allocation.

An interesting question came up in the JDeveloper & ADF ODC space. A user asked how to display a button which shows a long text in multiple lines. The image above shows an af:button with a longer text. If you don’t have enough space in your layout to show such a long text in a button, you can shorten the Text. If this is not a acceptable, one solution is to break the long text into multiple lines. Think about an af:panelSplitter which should show the same button. but the space i for the left pane in the splitter s limited. The result will be that the text of the button can’t be read. In other layouts the button might overflow the given space. his can crumble your whole page layout.

I will explain how to reference JavaScript module function in Oracle JET HTML. In previous Oracle JET versions, we were using $root to access parent appController module. Syntax $root looks a bit like magic, it is better to reference module through a predefined variable. I will show you how. Sample app comes with number converter, which helps to format numeric value. For convenience reasons and better reuse, number formatting function is moved to a separate module. Our goal is to call function self.convertNumericValue from converter module inside our module HTML: Import the converter module into your target module. Make sure to define a variable for the import. Then define the local variable and assign it with the value pointing to the imported module. This will allow calling functions from the imported module, anywhere within our target module: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

This is a quick tip on Oracle JET Router configurations. There are a couple of ways through which we can pass parameters while navigating using ojet Router. 1) You can set some global parameters while setting up the router configuration. This parameter is available on the static Router.rootInstance object. This value can be accessed via the Router's rootInstance's current-state. Using this value I can set the default tab whenever I enter a module. 2) The second option is to set a dynamic value while programmatically navigating to a module using ojet router. We use the store() method to set a parameter, and the retrieve() method to fetch it. The router param gets written to the URL to let you have a bookmark.

JavaScript app runs in a single thread. This means if there is a long-running resource-intensive operation - the thread will be blocked and the page will stay frozen until operation completes. Obviously, this is not user-friendly and such behavior should be avoided. We can use Web Workers, through Web Workers we could run long-running operations in separate threads, without blocking the main thread. Code running in Web Worker doesn't have access to UI DOM, this means logic coded in Web Worker should operate with logic which is not directly related to UI. Sample app contains commented code in dashboard.js. This code blocks main thread for 10 seconds, if you uncomment it - you will see that app becomes frozen for 10 seconds: Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.

Visual Builder has built in lifecycle for applications that supports hosting the development, test, and production instances of an app on a single server. But many companies prefer to separate their dev instances from their production instances - this allows them to separate the users accessing each instance, separate the backends that they are accessing, and guarantee that there is no development load on the production server. If that is the approach taken, you'll need to promote the app from the development VB instance to the production VB instance, and also take care of subsequent changes to the app. The solution for this need is the use of a shared code repository - which is available for you for free in the Oracle Developer Cloud. If you haven't yet watched the video that explains how to setup Visual Builder to work with the Git repository in Developer Cloud - you should watch that video first. This is an essential thing to do if multiple developers are working on your project. It is also the thing that will enable you to promote code between environments. Once your app code is inside the Git repo - you can leverage Visual Builder's "Import from Git" option in any other instance of VB - this will create your initial version of the app on your new instance.

"textReceived" is an action transition that exist on many Oracle Digital Assistant select components and that is followed when users enter free text instead of selecting a value from a choice. For example, in a retail bot, if the user is prompted to select the size of a shirt to buy and the user instead types "I like to buy a pair of shorts", then the textReceived action would allow the bot designer to stop the current conversation flow and navigate to a System.Intent component state to discover the new intent and extract the new entity information. To implement this on a component (e.g. System.CommonResponse, System.List) supporting the textReceived action transition, you use the following component configuration in the dialog flow.

In a recent Oracle TechExchange article, Upload Documents in an Oracle Digital Assistant Conversation with Messengers like Facebook or the Oracle JavaScript Client SDK, I explained how to upload documents in a messenger client through Oracle Digital Assistant. In this article I now explain the opposite, which is how to download of documents like audio, video, image and document files within a bot conversation. Basically, to download documents in Oracle Digital Assistant conversations, you have three implementation options available: · Using the System.CommonResponse component attachment response type, you navigate to a dialog flow state that returns the download URL along with the document type (audio, video, image, file) to the messenger client to download the content. The rendering of the document, whether it is in place within the messenger conversation, or in an external browser or webview window, is not in the control of Oracle Digital Assistant but the messenger used. · Using a custom component, you use the JavaScript MessageModel object available in the Oracle custom component SDK. Using a custom component is what you would use if the document URL and type is accessed dynamically from a remote service call. The rendering location, in-place within the messenger client, or external in a web browser or webview, depends on the messenger client used. Oracle Digital Assistant , like any other chatbot too, does not control the messenger client.

Value lists can be displayed using the System.List, System.CommonResponse and SystemResolveEntities component in Oracle Digital Assistant. A challenge for developers that is addressed in this article is how to sort entity derived lists. Lets use a simple example in which an entity is defined that contains "Yes" and "No" as a value. By default, the sorting of the list values is ascending, which means that the list of "Yes" and "No" values will be displayed with the "No" option first. This order doesn't change if you provide the "Yes" value option first when defining the entity. To sort the displayed list, you use the System.List component along with Apache FreeMarker expressions.

Let me start with a few questions. How many applications do you have on your smartphone? Which one do you use the most? On average, based on current surveys , Americans spend more than five hours a day on their phones. Their top two apps are Facebook and Instagram. I have more than 100 apps on my phone, and my most used ones are instant messenger apps, such as Whatsapp, which seems to be the top messaging app for users worldwide . Today, the smartphone is the most important means of personal communication, and it is transforming into an identity-verification tool because every consumer owns a mobile device. Everything Has Changed We have an app for pretty much anything we do: using the bank, renting cars, booking planes, browsing hotels and parking your car — you name it. It has led some people to feel a bit of app burnout. This fatigue of applications has urged companies to look for alternatives for their customers. One of the most adopted solutions for this problem is a digital assistant or a voice assistant.

Already 4 months ago I attended the PaaSForum 2019 in Mallorca. As every year it was great to meet members of the big EMEA Oracle Partner family. And of course a lot of interesting talks and workshops. This year I was especially interested in announcements around SOA Suite and Project Helidon as a Microservice framework. But certainly also Weblogic under Kubernetes. And actually, to me, the Kubernetes Weblogic Operator that was this years most enthusing subject. With his WebLogic on Kubernetes talk Maciej Gruszka, Director Product Management, enlightened the future Oracle envisions for WebLogic. He started with stating that 'Weblogic is not dead!'. Well, he got me with that already! The road ahead is making WebLogic fit to run in Docker and managed by Kubernetes. It might not be exactly what I had in mind, but it is certainly great news to learn that WebLogic will be around and alive for a future ahead. Oracle thrives to make future releases of Weblogic available as Docker images. Today already, WebLogic is fully supported to run in a Docker container. And according to Marciej, the team is busy with the SOA and OSB teams to get those products fit and available for Docker too. It might even be possible that future releases are going to be delivered as a Docker image. What is the Weblogic Operator? To run in a Kubernetes managed cluster, Kubernetes needs to be able to perform lifecycle operation on a Weblogic Managed server. For that  the Weblogic Operator for Kubernetes is created and introduced. A Kubernetes Operator is a sort of Adapter on top of a non-Kubernetes system that translates Kubernetes lifecycle commands to operations within the specific application.

Shortly after the release of Helidon 1.0, Oracle announced Helidon support for GraalVMthat converts Helidon applications to native executable code via the native-imageutility. Originally named J4C (Java for Cloud) and first introduced in September 2018, Helidonwas designed to be simple and fast, and is comprised of two versions: Helidon SE and Helidon MP. Helidon SE features three core APIs -- a web server, configuration, and security -- for building microservices-based applications. An application server is not required. Helidon MP MicroProfile 1.2 for building microservices-based applications with the supported MicroProfile APIs. GraalVM, created by Oracle Labs, is a polyglot virtual machine and platform that may be integrated into Helidon applications. GraalVM is comprised of Graal, a just-in-time compiler written in Java, SubstrateVM, a framework that allows ahead-of-time compilation of Java applications into executable images, and Truffle, an open-source toolkit and API for building language interpreters. Only Helidon SE applications may take advantage of GraalVM due to the use of reflection in CDI 2.0 (JSR 365), a core MicroProfile API. Therefore, Oracle Labs decided not to include GraalVM support for Helidon MP.

In the last few posts of our microservice journey we created a compartment, launched a Kubernetes cluster and set our tenancy up for a Docker user and registry and created an Autonomous DB instance that we can use for data persistence. In this post we will start to take a look at writing some actual microservice code. I want to reiterate that each application has unique requirements that should be evaluated before you choose to implement any solution and so the choices that I make in this blog series might be different than the choices your organization will make. The important questions to ask yourself are: · Are microservices the right tool for the job? · Will this solve my problems in a maintainable way? · Can our budget afford the cost of implementing this solution? These are important questions to ask yourself, because introducing a new way of thinking can bring up issues that are difficult to resolve later on. Microservice Patterns Before we dive into the code, let’s start by defining a few patterns for microservice data management. The easiest patterns to digest when it comes to microservices are the shared database and database (or schema) per service patterns so let’s start with those patterns.

This article talks about an interesting use case of JavaScript in ADF faces - the tab index. By default when we use a panel-form-layout in ADF faces, the default behaviour of the cursor on tab is to go the next element as defined inside your panel-form-layout xml metadata. So for a layout with 4 rows and 2 columns, the default cursor travel behaviour is something like this: But what if I need a traverse pattern like this: One not-so-simple and tedious way would be to to rearrange the items inside the form-layout. But for a large and complex form that is not an ideal option, and obviously that is not the solution I am planning to provide. A simpler alternative would be to write a small JavaScript client-listener method, which would take 2 arguments - the previous item and the next item - and depending on these 2 values, it would find the item to focus on. The previous element option would be used when the user wants to go in the reverse direction with SHIFT+TAB. Each item in the panel-form-layout would have this client-listener.

I found a nice YouTube video (Inter-module Communication with Custom Events) by John Brock, on the topic of inter-module communication in Oracle JET, using the concept of event bubbling. The above method proposed by John will certainly solve communication problems between two JET modules, between a JET module and a CCA and also between two CCAs, and is thus a highly useful one. However, there is another quick method to establish connectivity between two JET web components (CCAs), and that is through the writeback feature. This is essentially a quick solution, and works only between CCAs in one page (or module). The writeback feature essentially means that when a property of a CCA is changed, the changed value is communicated to the component which is hosting the CCA. A crude and high-level process diagram would be something like this: The app-controller contains an observable, which is a writeback-enabled property of CCA1. When this property is updated on the CCA, the value is also updated on app-controller. The subscription handler of this observable updates a variable on CCA2. The same flow is applied from CCA2 to CCA1.

When building Oracle JET Model/Collection structure to render table, you should be careful defining ID attribute. This attribute must have unique values only, if there will be duplicates in ID, then table rows will be rendered incorrectly. Take as example below structure for Employees REST endpoint. EmployeId attribute provides unique values and it should be defined as ID for JET model: Let's try and see what happens when non-unique DepartmentId attribute is set for a key in JET model: In this case, during data fetch and UI table rendering (specifically when navigating to the next page of the table) - JET runtime for the table will get confused and will fetch all of the records from the backend (definitely, not what we want): Read the complete article here.   Developer Partner Community For regular information become a member in the Developer Partner Community please register here.
