Oracle Blogs: The Oracle Applications User Experience (OAUX) team has loads of new content that we’re eager to share

The Oracle Applications User Experience (OAUX) team has loads of new content that we’re eager to share. Beginning with Oracle Voice, Oracle’s platform on Forbes.com, Group Vice President Jeremy Ashley describes in a recent post how Oracle is addressing specific HCM trends and issues in our cloud application services while keeping that “suite” perspective. What else did we write about in the past month?

LOOKING TO THE ENTERPRISE FUTURE: The OAUX team reports on wearables and IoT devices as well as Oracle’s investment in the challenges of bringing them to the enterprise in a new post on the Voice of User Experience (VoX) blog. Wearables lie at the center of many IoT discussions, and the possibilities they create when they work in tandem are endless. The OAUX team has been keeping an eye on both areas for several years and is investing heavily in research and development behind the challenges of interweaving the capabilities of both types of devices and bringing them to the enterprise.

UX STRATEGY: We know you’re craving the latest in Oracle’s UX strategy, and we must deliver. Learn more in a new VoX post with a bird’s-eye view on our new strategy ebook, or dive right into the (free!) download.

Malcolm S. Knowles, El más grande peligro para la sobreviviencia humana, es la aceleración en la obsolescencia del hombre...

Malcolm S. Knowles(*) escribió “el más grande peligro para la sobrevivencia de la civilización actual no es la guerra atómica, no es la contaminación ambiental, no es la explotación de los recursos naturales y no son ningunas de las crisis contemporáneas. La causa subyacente a todas las nombradas es la aceleración en la obsolescencia del hombre…La única esperanza parece ser un ‘programa de choque’ para re-insuflarle ( Comunicar o transmitir ideas, estímulos o sentimientos ) a la generación presente de adultos competencias requeridas para funcionar adecuadamente en una condición de cambio perpetuo. Ésta es una necesidad profunda ―el inconmensurable reto―que se le presenta al educador adulto por parte de la sociedad moderna”.

De lo mejor que tuvo este 2016: Leonard Brody en Costa Rica.

Definitivamente unos de los grandes momentos de este 2016, fue la oportunidad de escuchar a Leonard Brody durante el #ORACLEx en Costa Rica.

Una pena, que la gente no se haya enterado, ni conociera la calidad y la relevancia del expositor que tenían al frente o que iba a estar presente en el evento.

Esta era una oportunidad que no se podía perder.

Aquí les dejo dicha charla.

FBI News: Wilkes-Barre Man Indicted For Computer Hacking

Department of Justice

U.S. Attorney’s Office

Middle District of Pennsylvania

---

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wednesday, December 21, 2016

SCRANTON- The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced today that Justin Bodnar, age 27, of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, was indicted on December 20, 2016, by a federal grand jury for intentionally accessing protected computers without authorization.

According to United States Attorney Bruce D. Brandler, the indictment charges Bodnar with an incident in 2013 in which Bodnar allegedly hacked a computer and thereby obtained the e-mails of another individual which he then attempted to sell. The indictment also charges Bodnar with causing intentional damage to a computer stemming from multiple incidents in 2012 in which Bodnar allegedly hacked the computers of his former employer and caused damage to those computers.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert J. O’Hara is prosecuting the case.

Indictments and Criminal Informations are only allegations. All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.

A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

The maximum penalty under federal law for these offenses is 10 years’ imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the Judge is also required to consider and weigh a number of factors, including the nature, circumstances and seriousness of the offense; the history and characteristics of the defendant; and the need to punish the defendant, protect the public and provide for the defendant's educational, vocational and medical needs. For these reasons, the statutory maximum penalty for the offense is not an accurate indicator of the potential sentence for a specific defendant.

Best practice for calling web services from Oracle Process Cloud Service by Lykle Thijssen

More often than not, you will want your processes to interact with other services or processes inside or outside your enterprise. Since integration options are rather typical in Oracle Process Cloud Service, this article will help you to apply best practices for creating and managing your connections in a sustainable fashion.

Process Cloud integration points

Let’s say you have modelled a process in Oracle Process Cloud Service (PCS) for a private home loan application. Chances are quite high that this process will need some extra information to make the right decisions, like a credit check or a risk assessment and you will want to store the result of the application somewhere, for example in a database.

This requires several integration points in your PCS application. Now if you would directly import the WSDLs of those web services that you need to integrate with, it’s most likely not going to work. For example, Oracle Policy Automation, which you can use for risk assessment, has a highly generic interface and without XSLT support in PCS, you can’t make a proper request. Other services might require WS-Addressing or other technical aspects that PCS doesn’t support, so you need to put something in between. For this something, you can use various SOA and Service Bus products or Oracle’s Integration Cloud Service, once it has matured some more to deal with web services properly.

Creating the interface – challenges

So, you have decided to put one or more layers of services between PCS and the web services that you need to invoke. Regardless of your architecture, you need to keep some considerations in mind: Read the complete article here.

Oracle Blogs Custom xpath functions in service bus by Milco Numan

How can you create  custom XPath functions in Oracle Service Bus 12c? And how can you use these in both  XSLT and XQuery? Let’s find it out. I like to show you how they’re different in behaviour.

The context of my post comes from one of my projects, where we were migrating quite some (stateless) services from the SOA (BPEL) platform to Service Bus. Since our clients were already ‘virtualized’ to our clients (i.e. clients invoked them through the Service Bus), we could easily change the implementation platform without changing the service contracts.

For the transformation, we were reusing the existing XSL transformations, so a couple of the custom XPath functions had to be made available in Service Bus. Additionally, we were also introducing the DVM (Domain Value Maps) as a replacement for a custom coded lookup-implementation, created when DVMs did not yet exist. For this purpose, we had to create a custom XPath wrapper function, in order to implement some custom logging that the customer did not want to lose.

Test XPath function

As a simple scenario, I am using base-64 encoding and decoding to be implemented as custom XPath functions (code is shared through GitHub). In order to test the custom XPath function, I have created some very simple proxies and pipelines that do not route to any other service but instead just call upon a transformation in order to test my custom functions:

Child elements

In the reply element I have three different child elements, the first contains the untransformed contents of the input string and the second contains the base64 encoded contents. The last element contains the value after invoking the decode operation on the encoded string, to verify that the inverse operation restores the original value. Read the complete article here.
