Oracle E-Learning Resources
2There is a lot of new stuff out there nowadays, regarding products and/or functionality or others. This is also true for Oracle and in short it’s not easy to follow all those innovations and/or new products. So from time to time I have a watch on stuff that interests me on the YouTube Oracle E-Learning Channel. That said, there is just too much out there, which is great, but not so practical to follow via YouTube. Via YouTube you could of course, as I did, create you on channels for specific topics or interests, like my “Oracle – Data Centre Transformation Master Class“, but it can become an annoying bit of doing it especially concerning a topic like “Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Cloud Control”.
Today, finally also paying attention to the last slide on almost all presentations, I had a look at: http://www.oracle.com/goto/oll . This is the entry page of the Oracle E-Learning group. This link will re-direct you to the central, by Oracle APEX serviced, pages that contain an overview of all the Oracle topics out there, provided via the E-Learning team and believe me, those are great, also one of the reasons I subscribed on their YouTube Channel anyway. I really wished I had done it sooner though. It not also provides with a great overview, it also has a link to the mobile device link (up in the left corner) that can be used with your mobile phone or iPad/Android alternative to read and see those resources. Probably the most coolest thing, and really thanks for that, is the “Bookmark” bit. If you click it, you will be asked to authenticate yourself via your Oracle OTN account, which gives you a central place to tag the bookmarks you find useful, search in all available topics. If, like AMIS, you participate (and are allowed access to) in a lot of Oracle beta testing of different products, there will also a beta button that guides you to the latest demo’s on those features and products.
In all, a great service from Oracle to those who want to accelerate their knowledge or lookup a demo after having read about it in the Oracle manuals.

15 mei: Een dag over de toekomst van en met Oracle Forms bij AMIS (gratis toegang)
0Ben je werkzaam bij een organisatie die Oracle Forms gebruikt en ben je een (of de meest) ervaren ontwikkelaar in jullie team of misschien wel de applicatie architect, dan denk je ongetwijfeld wel eens over de toekomst. Wat zijn de plannen van Oracle met Forms? En hoe kan je aan de toenemende verwachtingen en eisen van de gebruikers en de business blijven voldoen met zo’n volwassen technologie als Forms? Hoe kan je de Forms applicatie combineren en integreren met nieuwe concepten als SOA en Web Services, als Web 2.0 en ADF of .NET en in mobiele toepassingen?
Natuurlijk, er zijn allerlei nieuwe tools en technologieen om compleet nieuwe applicaties te ontwikkelen, maar dat is helemaal niet zo aanlokkelijk. De bestaande investering in de Forms-applicatie dreigt verloren te gaan en de kennis en vaardigheden die ontwikkelaars moeten opbouwen voor een ander platform zijn zeer aanzienlijk. Er zijn vast subtielere manieren om de huidige Forms applicaties te moderniseren en met moderne technologie te combineren.
Op dinsdag 15 mei organiseert AMIS een evenement onder de titel: “The Future of Forms” – bedoeld voor ervaren Forms ontwikkelaars en applicatie architecten van Forms applicaties. De vragen die hierboven worden gesteld komen op deze dag aan bod en diverse manieren en tools om met Forms te moderniseren worden gepresenteerd, gedemonstreerd en bediscussieerd. Als je serieus bezig bent met de toekomst van de Forms applicaties in jouw organisatie – en je eigen toekomst natuurlijk – dan zou je dit bijzondere evenement niet mogen missen.
Erkende sprekers uit Nederland, Duitsland, Frankrijk, UK en Israel verzorgen een uitgebreid programma aan presentaties en demonstraties, vanaf ‘s ochtends 9 uur tot pakweg 17.30. Zie voor de details van het programma: Dagprogramma 15 mei Future of Forms. De toegang tot dit evenement is gratis. Aanmelden kan via de website: registreren voor The Future of Forms.
The Future of Forms – 15th of May – Nieuwegein, The Netherlands
0Sporting a selection of the world’s best known speakers in the area of Oracle Forms and Forms modernization – on Tuesday 15th May AMIS will host an all day event around Forms, aimed at application architects and lead developers. During this event, we will discuss and demonstrate the most relevant options for moving Forms applications (and Forms developers) to the future. Registration for this event is free – the capacity is limited. See this link for the full program, the abstracts for all the presentations and the biographies of the speakers: http://www.amis.nl/theme/amis/uploadedFiles/PDF/Future%20of%20Forms%20EN%20DAG.pdf.
Jamming with Fusion Middleware at OBUG 2012
0The all-star, mostly ACE(D) team consisting of Lonneke, Steven, Luc, Edwin, Ronald and Lucas did a very entertaining jam session with Fusion Middleware most of all day yesterday at the OBUG 2012 Connect Conference (Oracle Benelux User Group). The third performance of its kind – ODTUG 2011 and UKOUG 2011 in Long Beach, California (USA) and Birmingham (UK) being the preceding gigs – successfully realized an end-to-end business process implementation with ingredients such as ADF, JHeadstart, Human Task, BPEL, Mediator, AQ, Event Delivery Network, Technology Adapters, UMS for Emails en of course the database.
In front of a live audience, the challenge was outlined. The high level design introduced and the various components discussed. The left-hand screen (for the audience) displayed the business process and the work done to it in terms of design and implementation. The screen in the middle demonstrated the user interface development using ADF and the right hand screen played various roles, from service development to Enterprise Manager display, BPM worklist and Email client.
The members of the band played the following instruments: Steven on ADF and JHeadstart, Luc on ADF and ADF DVT (Data Visualization Components) for the business dashboard, Ronald on SOA Suite – Mediator, Adapters – and Lonneke on BPEL and Human Task. Edwin played virtually every instruments and Lucas was the lead singer and audience participation person.
OBUG 2012 – Live Fusion Middleware Application Development Demo by all star team
0Next Tuesday, 24th of April in the MECC in Maastricht during the Oracle Benelux User Group conference, an all star team of Oracle Fusion Middleware specialists will present and perform a very special session: a live and interactive application development demonstration. This session is planned in two parts: 11.00-12.45 and 14.30-15.45.
Many articles and presentations discuss various parts of Oracle Fusion Middleware, such as ADF or SOA Suite, WebCenter or Oracle Service Bus. Usually they do so in an isolated fashion and not seldom only in a theoretical (‘slideware’) fashion. In this very special session, attendees will see at close range how it all comes together and what steps are necessary to create a real end-to-end FMW application. A team of brave developers (doing database, ADF, SOA Suite, OSB and BPM) will develop an end-to-end Fusion Middleware application over the course of the afternoon. Their work will be monitored live on a number of big screens, while a moderator solicits audience suggestions for functional requirements and explains what is being done.
Bind two activities to one button in a Humantask
0Ever forgot to Save your changes in Humantasks before pressing the Approve or Reject button?
In a SOA environment I have a humantask in a BPEL process. The humantask has an Approve and a Reject outcome.
The humantask offers the possibility to change al kinds of process related data. By default these changes are not saved when you press the Approve or Reject button. As a result It happens often that changes are not saved by making the mistake not saving changes before Approvement.
Change the default button behaviour
In this blog I will decribe how to change the behaviour behind the ‘Approve’ button. I will change it to ‘Save and Approve’. On first hand I though this would be very simple. Add a second action to the button and tha’s all. But it is not possible to directly bind multiple actions to a button. However it is still possible by binding a new action to the button that on it’s turn executes multiple actions.
This can be implemented with a Managed Bean. I will descibe how to create the Managed Bean and to bind it to the Approve and Reject button. (more…)
Runtime Fault Handling with the Fault Management Framework
0Fault handling allows a SOA suite component to handle error situations caused by outside web services.
The error situations can be both business (e.g. invalid data value) and runtime faults (service unavailable).
I’m aiming to handle business fault as much as possible in the composite (catch) while handle runtime faults outside the composite.
In the remaining of this blog I will describe an implementation of the Fault Management Framework to handle runtime faults.
I have implemented the following policy:
1) RemoteFault (invocation of a service fails)
- Start a retry cycle
standaard retryCount: 5
standaard retryInterval: 300 (seconden)
standaard exponentialBackoff: 2
Retry will take place after 5, 10, 20, 40 en 80 minutes.
- If it still fails, start a human intervention
2) All other unhandled (runtime) faults
- Start a human intervention
LOV’s in humantask (part 2 of 2)
0In this blog I will describe the use of LOV’s in Humantasks. I will describe three different type of LOV’s.
1. LOV with fixed values
2. LOV feeded by the content of a database table
3. LOV feeded via a webservice
The blog is devided into two part. In the first part I descibed the first two types (http://technology.amis.nl/2012/04/04/lovs-in-humantask-part-1-of-2/). In this second part I will descibe the third type.
