Dinsdag 18 september: Oracle Open World & JavaOne 2012 Preview mini-conferenties – 12 presentaties op 1 avond
0Van 30 september tot 5 oktober is San Francisco weer het domein van tegen de 45.000 deelnemers aan de Oracle Open World en JavaOne conferenties. Ruim 2000 presentaties worden daar gehouden, in vele tientallen zalen in hotels en het Moscone Conferentie Center in downtown San Francisco, waaronder pakweg 20 door Nederlandse sprekers. Hoewel honderden Nederlandse bezoekers op deze conferentie aanwezig zullen zijn, zijn er natuurlijk ook veel ‘thuisblijvers’. Om deze groep (en iedereen die wel gaat) toch of alvast een voorproefje te geven, organiseert AMIS voor de vijfde keer de Preview sessie voor Oracle Open World en JavaOne – een avond waarop Nederlandse sprekers met een OOW en/of JavaOne verleden, heden of toekomst een presentatie houden, bijvoorbeeld als generale repetitie voor hun optreden in San Francisco.
Deze sessie is gratis toegankelijk. Aanmelden kan via de AMIS website: Preview Oracle Open World en JavaOne 2012. De deuren gaan open op dinsdag 18 september om 16.30, om 18.00 uur is er een maaltijd en rond 21.00 uur eindigen de laatste vier sprekers en openen we de bar.
Sprekers tijdens deze preview zijn: Steven Davelaar, Lonneke Dikmans, Ronald van Luttikhuizen, Jacco More >
Most aggravating developer induced headaches for Middleware Administrators
2In recent months, I have had a lot of dealings with middleware administrators, responsible for the management of WebLogic Server and other Fusion Middleware components such as SOA Suite, Oracle Service Bus, WebCenter and UCM. My role is frequently one that allows me to step back a little and observe. These observations made it very clear that not only is middleware administration a challenging task – one that is underestimated in many organizations – it is also one that is frequently made much harder than necessary by actions that developers take or do not take. Developers create the artifacts that administrators will deploy and manage on the middleware infrastructure. These developers can make life easier for the administrators if they adhere to certain best practices in creating and handing over these artifacts. However, out of ignorance, disinterest or lack of time it is unfortunately common for administrators to experience severe frustrations over the work of developers.
I am trying to compile a list of various points of frustration for middleware administrators caused by developer ignorance or carelessness. Below is the list if have compiled so far – with some help from More >
Organizing Fusion Middleware administration in a smart and frugal way
0One of the perhaps somewhat counterintuitive challenges with at least the initial stages of adopting Fusion Middleware is the fact that there is too little work in terms of administration.
On the one hand, Fusion Middleware administration entails quite a bit, starting with WebLogic Server
and typically extending to one or more FMW components:
all of which the administrator – or rather the administration team – needs to deal to with. Typically even around the clock to ensure the availability required by the business.
On the other hand, the actual workload for FMW administration for a small number of applications, services and processes does not justify a dedicated resource. This proves a serious problem for many organizations: 24/7 availability requires 3 FTE while the effort is on average less 0.5 FTE.
Organizations can adopt several strategies to address this challenge, as is illustrated in the next picture.
My report from ODTUG KScope 2012.
0I landed only a couple of hours ago in Amsterdam and here’s my report from Kscope 2012 in San Antonio. As I write this, KScope is still waking up for the final day. Anyway, for me KScope was over yesterday.
The venue, the JW Marriott San Antonio, was IMHO somewhat in the middle of nowhere, which is a pity given the fact that downtown San Antonio is beautiful. It took the free shuttle bus about 35 minutes to get there.
Anyway, I was not around for site seeing, I was visiting the conference. At the conference I joined the Fusion Middleware track, not only as an attendee but also as a presenter of two sessions. It was a very nice hotel and conference center. At the conference I attended the Fusion Middleware track.
With over 30 sessions and the Sunday Symposium, this years FMW track again was a very usefull track for everyone that wanted to learn about FMW.Most of the session where ADF related, however there were a couple of webcenter and SOA sessions as well.
Proces email with the new UMS adapter of SOA Suite PS5
2With the release of Soa Suite Patch Set 5 we can now try out the new UMS adapter. UMS stands for User Messaging Service but in this case it only supports email. The UMS adapter allows you to listen for new mail or send a mail from a service component. Combined with BPEL it’s now relative easy to process email bodies or attachments. Remember that in PS5 the UMS adapter is still a preview version so you can’t claim support and you can only use the Oracle forums for your ums questions.
It’s important to know that the UMS adapter does not work like a JMS topic or like EDN. So you can’t have two UMS adapters which are polling on the same mailbox.
In this blogpost I will show you how to setup and configure UMS, Listen plus send a mail and handle attachments.
We start with configuring our SOA Suite domain.
1st step is to copy two UMS libraries to your SOA Suite domain folder. Copy sdpmessagingclient.jar and sdpmessagingcommon.jar to the lib folder of the SOA Suite WebLogic Domain. You can find these jars at MiddlewareHome\Oracle_SOA1\communications\modules\oracle.sdp.client_11.1.1
2nd Install the UMS resource adapter. Open the WebLogic Console and deploy the UMSAdapter.rar, you can More >
Jouw toekomst als Oracle professional AMIS informatieavond over jouw ontwikkelingspad (28 februari)
0Als je dit leest en je bent Oracle professional – ontwikkelaar of administrator – is de kans groot dat je jouw carriere bent gestart in de jaren ‘90, in het tijdperk van Oracle7, Oracle Forms en Client/Server applicaties – net voor de opkomst van Java, internet, mobiel en SOA. Misschien ligt je start daar nog wel voor en misschien ben je van een tikje later. Maar in elk geval: je hebt een solide fundament en al vele jaren ervaring in Oracle technologie.
Nu is het 2012. En de afgelopen jaren is de technologie in hoog tempo ontwikkeld. Web 2.0 applicaties en multi-tier architecturen dienden zich aan en SOA, Service Bus en BPM zijn opgekomen. Java is overal – en HTML 5 staat op het punt om Flash en Silverlight te verdringen, in desktop browsers en in mobiele devices. Eindgebruikers worden mondiger en veel-eisender en real-time, push-enabled, BI-gedreven dashboards en multi-channel takenlijsten worden in snel itererende agile-projecten gerealiseerd.
Oracle 11g Database doet alle simpele DBA taken zelf – en de uitdaging voor de Database Administrator is verschoven naar groter en interessanter, zeker als 24/7 beschikbaarheid, virtualisatie en de cloud als infrastructuur More >
