Continuous delivery culture. Why do we do the things we do the way we do them?

Maarten Smeets

Usually at first there is a problem to be solved. A solution is conjured and implemented. After a while, the solution is re-used and re-used again. It changes depending on the person implementing it and his/hers background, ideas, motives, likes and dislikes. People start implementing the solution because other people […]

ADF Performance Monitor: Support for EJB/JPA (EclipseLink)

Frank Houweling

Not all Oracle ADF projects are built with ADF Business Components (ADF BC). Some organizations prefer to use EJB/JPA (EclipseLink) instead of ADF BC. The EclipseLink JPA provides developers with a standards based Object-Relational persistence solution. The application still reflects the Model-View-Controller architecture. In this case the model is provided by […]

ADF Performance Monitor: Measuring Network Time to Browser and Browser Load Time

Frank Houweling

Recently we added a great new feature to the ADF Performance Monitor: network and browser load time information. Now you know exactly every end-user experience of your ADF application, in real-time. You can quickly resolve any performance bottlenecks with this end-to-end visibility. You can even drill down into an individual user to […]

ADF Performance Monitor: Measuring Slow Network Time

Recently I was implementing the ADF Performance Monitor at a customer site and doing a detailed performance analysis. This customer had severe (and less severe) performance problems but was unable to pinpoint the exact pain points. Frequently, end-users were complaining because they were experiencing first a very good performance (response times […]

ADF Performance Monitor: Detecting and Analyzing a High ADF BC Memory Consumption

Frank Houweling 2

Like other web applications, Oracle ADF applications potentially use a lot of JVM memory. Many times, the root cause of a high memory usage is that application data retrieved from the database into memory is not properly limited; hundreds or thousands of rows (with too many attributes) are fetched and […]

ADF Performance Tuning: Improve Your Oracle ADF App Response Time by as Much as 70 Percent

Frank Houweling

Performance needs to be ingrained in your application – it cannot be added in during the last stages of development. In this video I discuss how you can optimize the performance of your Oracle ADF Fusion application, diagnose and solve typical performance problems, and build an efficient, responsive, scalable ADF […]

Harry Dragstra

Finding and getting rid of duplicate records in a table is easy…. The row_number() over ( <query_partition_clause> <order_by_clause> ) analytic function is helpful in determining not only the number of duplicate records, but also in identifying them. Setting up the partition clause though with each and every attribute that is […]

WebLogic -> FMW Provisioning update

Edwin Biemond

Already a year has passed since I wrote about WebLogic and Fusion Middleware provisioning with Puppet. In this year provisioning got a great boost with the popularity of DevOps and provisioning tools like Puppet, Chef or in combination with Vagrant & Oracle VirtualBox. Provisioning without tooling can be hard for companies when they […]
