I'm happy to report that the number of ADF published books is expanding yet again, with this time Oracle's own Jobinesh Purushothaman publishing the Oracle ADF Real World Developer’s Guide. I can remember the dim dark days when there was but just 1 Oracle book besides the documentation, so today it's great to have what I think might be the 7 or 8th ADF book publicly available, and not to forgot all our other technical docs too.
Jobinesh has even published some extra chapters online that will give you a good taste of what to expect.
If you're interested in positive reviews, the ADF EMG already has it's first happy customer.
Now to see if I can get Oracle to expense me a copy.
Getting from client/server based 4GLs and databases where the 4GL is tightly linked to the database to Oracle and the cloud is not easy. The least risky and expensive option (in the short term) is to use the Progress OpenEdge DataServer for Oracle:
Progress OpenEdge DataServer
This eliminates the need to have to migrate the Progress 4GL to Java/J2EE.
The database can be migrated using SQLWays Ispirer:
Ispirer SQLWays ProgressDB migrations tool
The Progress 4GL can remain as is. In order to get the application on the cloud there are a few approaches:
1. VDI - Virtual Desktop is a way to put all of the users desktop in a centralized environment off the desktop. This is great in cases where it is just not one client/server application that the user needs access too. In many cases, users will utilize MS Access, MS Excel, Crystal Reports and other tools to get at the Progress DB and other centralized databases. Vmware's acquistion of Wanova shows how VDI is growing in usage. Citrix is the 800 pound gorilla in the VDI space with Citrix WinFrame (now called XenDesktop). Oracle offers a VDI solution that Oracle picked up when it acquired Sun.
2. Hypervisor Server Virtualization - Of course you can place applications written in client/server languages like Progress 4GL buy using server virtualization from Oracle, VMWare, Microsoft, Citrix and others.
3. Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (aka: Terminal Services Client)
The entire idea is to eliminate all the client/server desktop devices and connections which require desktop software and database drivers. A solution to removing database drivers from the desktop is to use DataDirect SQLLink

Cross-posting Dain Hansen's excellent recap of the Big Data/Fast Data announcement during OOW:
For those of you who may have missed it, today’s second full day
of Oracle OpenWorld 2012 started with a rumpus. Joe Tucci, from EMC outlined the
human face of big data with
real examples of how big data is transforming our world. And no not the usual tried-and-true
weblog examples, but real stories about taxi cab drivers in Singapore using big
data to better optimize their routes as well as folks just trying to get a
better hair cut. Next we heard from Thomas Kurian who talked at length about
the important platform characteristics of Oracle’s Cloud and more specifically Oracle’s expanded Cloud
Services portfolio. Especially interesting to our integration customers are
the messaging support for Oracle’s Cloud applications. What this means is that
now Oracle’s Cloud applications have a lightweight integration fabric that on-premise
applications can communicate to it via REST-APIs using Oracle SOA Suite. It’s
an important element to our strategy at Oracle that supports this idea that
whether your requirements are for private or public, Oracle has a solution in
the Cloud for all of your applications and we give you more deployment choice than any vendor.
If this wasn’t enough to get the juices flowing, later that
morning we heard from Hasan Rizvi who outlined in his Fusion Middleware session
the four most important enterprise imperatives: Social, Mobile, Cloud, and a
brand new one: Fast Data. Today, Rizvi made an important step in the definition
of this term to explain that he believes it’s a convergence of four essential
technology elements:
Event Processing for event filtering, business rules –
with Oracle Event Processing
Data Transformation and Loading - with Oracle Data Integrator
Real-time replication and integration –
with Oracle GoldenGate
Analytics and data discovery – with Oracle Business
Intelligence
Each of these four elements can be considered (and architect-ed) together on a
single integrated platform that can help customers integrate any type of data (structured,
semi-structured) leveraging new styles of big data technologies (MapReduce,
HDFS, Hive, NoSQL) to process more volume and variety of data at a faster
velocity with greater results.
Fast data processing (and especially real-time) has always been
our credo at Oracle with each one of these products in Fusion Middleware. For
example, Oracle GoldenGate continues to be made even faster with the recent 11g
R2 Release of Oracle GoldenGate which gives us some even greater
optimization to Oracle Database with Integrated Capture, as well as some new
heterogeneity capabilities. With Oracle Data Integrator with
Big Data Connectors, we’re seeing much improved performance by running
MapReduce transformations natively on Hadoop systems. And with Oracle
Event Processing we’re seeing some remarkable performance with customers
like NTT Docomo. Check out their upcoming session at Oracle
OpenWorld on Wednesday to hear more how this customer is using Event processing
and Big Data together. If you missed any of these sessions and keynotes, not to worry. There's on-demand versions available on the Oracle OpenWorld website. You can also checkout our upcoming webcast where we will outline some of these new breakthroughs in Data Integration technologies for Big Data, Cloud, and Real-time in more details.

Oracle Java Cloud Service is an enterprise grade Platform as a Service for developing, testing, and deploying business applications. For Java developers, Java Cloud Service provides the power, flexibility, and performance of a true Java EE container in the cloud.
Java Cloud Service delivers one of the key advantages of the Java platform, the ability to “write once, run anywhere”. Because of the standards-based approach, there's no need to worry that applications you build and deploy are forever locked into the Oracle Cloud. In fact, you can use Java Cloud Service just as you would an on-premise Java EE
environment and deploy your Java applications on a Java Cloud
Service instance as-is.
Provisioning of Java Cloud Service instances is self-service and takes only minutes, making access to Java environments both quick and easy. Java Cloud Service instances are also automatically associated with Oracle Database Cloud Service instances, so there's no complex setup involved in order to get a complete application environment up and running.If you're attending Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco this week, I'm sure you've seen that there are many sessions covering Oracle Cloud services, including Java Cloud Service. Each session will provide a wealth of information, so I highly recommend you consult your conference schedule and try to check them out. In the meantime, here's a short video about Java Cloud Service. Enjoy!
Recently I had the requirement from a customer to instantiate a Human Task, which can accept a payload containing a binary attribute (base64) representing an actual document. According to the same requirement, this attribute should be shown as a hyperlink in the Worklist UI to the assignee(s), from which the assignees can download the document on the local machine for review. Multiple options have been leverage, but most required heavy customization.
In order to leverage as much as possible Oracle BPM out-of-the box functionalities, I decided to add this document as a readonly attachment. We can easily achieve this operation within Worklist Application, but it is a bit more challenging when we want to attach the document during the Human Task initialization.
After some investigations (on BPM 11g PS4FP and PS5), here's the way to go:
1. Create an asynchronous BPM process, and use this xsd to create 2 Business Objects FullPayload and PartialPayload :
2. Create 2 process variables 'vFullPayload' and 'vPartialPayload' using this Business Objects created above
3. Implement the Start Event with the initial Data Association, with an input argument using 'FullPayload' Business Object type
4. Drag in an User Task into the process. Implement the User Task as usual by using 'vPartialPayload' type as the input type and assign the task to your favorite tester (mine is jcooper)
5. Here's the main course - Start the Data Association and map the payload into 'execData' as follow:
FROM
TO
vFullPayload.attachment.mimetype
execData.attachment[1].mimeType
vFullPayload.attachment.filename
execData.attachment[1].name
bpmn:getDataObject('vFullPayload')/ns:attachment/ns:content
execData.attachment[1].content
'BPM'
execData.attachment[1].attachmentScope
false()
execData.attachment[1].doesBelongToParent
'weblogic'
execData.attachment[1].updateBy
xp20:current-dateTime()
execData.attachment[1].updateDate
(Note: Check the <Humantask>WorkflowTask.xsd file in your project xsd folder to discover the different options for attachmentScope & storageType)
6. Your process is completed. Just build a standard ADF UI and deploy the process/UI onto your BPM Server for the testing. Here's an example, with a base64 encoded pdf file: application-pdf.txt
7. Finally, go to the BPM Worklist application to check the result !
Please note that Oracle BPM, by default, limits the attachment document size to 2Mb. If you are planning to have bigger attachments in your process, it is recommended to store your documents in a Content Management server (such as Oracle UCM) and pass the reference instead. It is possible to configure Oracle BPM to store attachment directly into Oracle UCM too, and I believe we can use the storageType, ucmMetadataItem attributes for this purpose.... I will confirm once I have access onto an Oracle UCM for the testing :)
Howard Street in San Francisco is closed. The large Oracle tent is up! Attendees are arriving by the plane load at SFO. It can only mean one thing ....
That's right! Oracle OpenWorld officially starts today with the Oracle Users Forum. Ton's of great technical sessions selected by the Oracle User Groups get under way this morning at 8 am (Doh!). And of course, Larry's keynote is this evening 5:00 pm–7:00 pm, Moscone North. A must see, as he is bound to make some exciting announcements to get the show started!

Congratulations, you have stumbled upon Oracle’s newest blog: The Federal Applications Blog. Periodically I plan to provide some insight
into how Oracle’s application solutions are being applied, or how they can be
applied, within the Federal Government.
If you are a user of, or just interested in, Oracle’s
applications in the Federal space and have questions/topics you would like to
see addressed in this blog, please post a comment.
So bear with me as I take a bit of time to refine the
content, look and feel of this blog.

Anfang August hat Oracle ein neues Produkt namens Oracle Key Vault (OKV) zum
Einsatz freigegeben. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Hardware Security Modul (HSM)
- also um ein Stück Hardware zum Speichern von Schlüsseln, Passwörtern
und Dateien, die Schlüssel und Passwörter enthalten.
Oracle Datenbank Installationen nutzen die zuletzt genannte Form des Speicherns
von Passwörtern und Schlüsseln in Dateien für
Oracle Advanced Security Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) und
external password stores. Die Dateien werden in den Versionen
10 und 11 der Datenbank als Wallets bezeichnet, in der Version 12 als Keystores.
Allerdings gibt es auch schon seit der Datenbankversion 11.2 beim Einsatz von
TDE die Möglichkeit, statt der Wallets / Keystores HSMs einzusetzen. Da
Oracle selbst kein eigenes HSM Produkt anbieten konnte, haben Unternehmenskunden
dann auf Produkte anderer Anbieter zurückgegriffen. Das kann sich mit OKV
nun ändern.
Abhängig vom Bedrohungsszenario kann die Entscheidung gegen den
Einsatz von Wallets / Keystores und für den Einsatz eines HSMs
durchaus sinnvoll sein, denn
ein HSM bietet mehr Sicherheit: Eine Betriebssystemdatei kann
leichter gestohlen (kopiert) werden, als ein HSM, das in der Regel als speziell
gesicherte Steckkarte in einem Rechner eingebaut ist oder als eigenes Gerät
geschützt in einem Rechenzentrum steht.
ein HSM kann anders als ein Wallet / Keystore systemübergreifend verwendet
werden. Das erlaubt eine gemeinsame Nutzung von Schlüsseln - was wiederum
zum Beispiel den Einsatz von TDE auf RAC Installationen perfekt
unterstützt.
ein HSM kann von mehreren Anwendungen genutzt werden. Das erleichtert das
Konsolidieren und Verwalten von Passwörtern und Schlüsseln.
Im
aktuellen Tipp wird als Einführung in das neue Produkt dargestellt, wie OKV
für TDE genutzt werden kann.

Oracle’s well known for being an acquisitive company. On average, I think we acquire about 1 company a month. (don’t quote me, I didn't run the numbers) With all the excitement around mobile, mobile and wait for it… mobile, well, you know...what' s up with that?
Well, just to be clear and quote Schultz from Hogan's Heroes "I know nothing! Nothing! " But I did recently run across this blog by Kevin Benedict over at mobileenterprisestrategies.com covering this very topic, Oracle Mobility Emerges Prepared for the Future, a little (fair use) snippet here:"History, however, may reward Oracle's patience. While veteran mobile platform vendors (including SAP) have struggled to keep up with the fast changing market, R&D investment requirements, the fickle preferences of mobile developers, and the emergence of cloud-based mobile services, Oracle has kept their focus on supporting mobile developers with integration services and tools that extend their solutions out to mobile apps.”It’s an interesting read, and I would encourage you to check it out here.
