OOW 2012: BPM is this year’s Fusion Middleware star

by Lucas Jellema in , ,

There is no beauty contest to determine which Fusion Middleware product shone the brightest during Oracle Open World. And it is a matter of taste any way. In this case, my taste. So, subjective as it is, my verdict in terms of the MVP (most valuable product) in the category FMW during this year’s OOW conference: BPM!

 

The main reason for this assessment is the rapid evolution that BPM has shown in the recent passed and is defining for the near future. After having been integrated with JDeveloper and SOA Suite 11g PS3 (April 2010), the Feature Pack 4 release (August 2011) and later the PS5 release (Spring 2012) demonstrated a lot of progress. The roadmap for 2013 looks very promising too.

BPM is one of the best examples of business meeting directly with IT – taking the (existing) business processes and the organization’s strategy and structuring them in a way that allows for clear discussion, optimization and refinement, simulation and even implementation through automated means. With the many (and still expanding) options in Oracle BPM for Design Time at Run Time, the interaction between Business and IT (systems) becomes even more direct. At run time, through simple, (business) More >

Oracle’s CEO had a number of interesting announcements.

Oracle will provide cloud services (no surprise) on all three tiers: SaaS, PaaS and (the surprise) IaaS.

The show of the year is around the corner: on Sunday it will all start again, the Oracle Open World conference. Tens of thousands of developers, architects, administrators, project managers, decision makers and others involved with Oracle products one way or another are gathering in and around San Francisco. AMIS will attend with an 8 person team. We will present, network, publish and investigate. As much as we bring our knowledge and experience to the conference, we also want to find out many things. A quick list of some of the questions that are on the top of my head to get answered during thus year’s conference:

Cloud

After last year’s announcements, we have not really seen any concrete cloud instances from Oracle. I hope to learn during this conference where exactly we stand and are headed with the Oracle Cloud – both the Application and the Platform Services. My focus will be on the latter in particular: what is the functionality and non-functionality offered by the various services – from Database Service to Web Services (PHP, Ruby and Python support) and Oracle Cloud Developer Services Hudson (for continuous integration, Git and GitHub for source control, wiki and tasks for More >

OOW 2012 – Oracle XML DB Hands-On Lab (HOL10055)

I posted, as (my) tradition dictates, the Oracle agenda overview of XMLDB sessions during Oracle Open World 2012. I already signed up for the HOL10055 session but yesterday I also got a quick peek of it’s contents this year. And yes, I can promise you, it is a must go, if you are dealing with or are interested in all things XML in your Oracle database.

The hands-on lab has topics like, among others,

  • Using XQuery in Oracle Database 11g Release 2
  • Optimizing XML Storage and processing with XML Schema.
  • Relational access to XML content
  • XML access to Relational Content

… also practical items like, loading XML, how to performance optimize XML in the database, and/or partition methods useful if your dealing with enormous amounts of data. This year it covers all XML use cases, if it’s structured, semi-structured or unstructured, via the latest database XMLDB functionality like the XQuery Update Facility (2011 W3C recommendation) or unstructured data retrieval via the also new W3C 2011 recommendation, the XQuery Full-Text standard.

To give you some small insight into those two new W3C XQuery recommendation extensions:

The XQuery Update Facility XQuery-Update is an extension standard that More >
