Global Temporary Tables and Upgrading to Oracle Database 12c - Don't Get Caught Out
Prior to Oracle Database 12c, global temporary tables (GTTs) shared statistics between sessions, so
each GTT had one set of statistics visible to all sessions using it. Of course, gathering statistics on GTTs can be very useful because it will help the optimizer find better execution plans, but this advantage was... [Read More]

Digital Innovation Demands Hybrid Integration by Carol Hildebrand
I
thought cloud computing would do away with acronym-laden technologies
such as service-oriented architecture (SOA). Can’t you just sign up for
applications run in a public cloud?
You can, but what happens when you want to integrate that shiny new cloud app with your existing applications and data? That integration has its own term—hybrid cloud—and for most enterprises, it’s the new norm. More than 65% of enterprise IT organizations will commit to hybrid cloud technologies before 2016, according to International Data Corporation.
Meanwhile,
everyone from marketing to HR to product development is screaming for
better information flow between departments, and they don’t care where
the apps reside. That also requires smooth integration of cloud and
legacy applications and data, which, as you will see, leads us back to
SOA. Read the complete article here.

Getting Started with Java Jigsaw Modules in NetBeans IDE
I went through the first two sections of "Project Jigsaw: Module System Quick-Start Guide" in the NetBeans JDK 9 Branch Build. In the end, I had created the Greeting module, which requires the Astro module that exports the package containing the World class, used by the Main class in the Greeting module. Click to enlarge the screenshot below, to see the various details, including the "module-info.java" graph:
Right now, NetBeans does not yet support the features described in the quick start about Jlink, packaging, and multimodule compilation. Read here all the details on the current state of JDK 9 support in NetBeans IDE:

Getting Started Modulerizing with Jigsaw in NetBeans IDE
Now that we have gone through an absolute basic scenario, yesterday, let's go ahead and modulerize an application, using Java Jigsaw to do so.
Here's the starting point, a small Java Swing application that provides an Anagram Game, which is one of the standard Java samples that comes with NetBeans IDE:
Each Java application you create with the NetBeans JDK 9 Branch Build is a Java Jigsaw module. So, I created a new Jigsaw module and moved the two Java classes you see above in the "lib" folder into the new Jigsaw module.
I put the "WordLibrary" class into a package named "api" and the "StaticWordLibrary", which extends "WordLibrary", into a package named "impl", I added a "module-info.java" file to both Jigsaw modules. In the API module, I exported the "com.toy.api" package and in the other Jigsaw module, where my Swing code is found, I required the "com.toy.api" module. In the Project Properties dialog of the Jigsaw module where my Swing code is found, I added the API module to the module path. I then had the following, which works exactly as before:
Most important of all, the Swing code is unable to use the "impl" package, since that package has not been exported. The WordLibrary class in the "api" package loads the "StaticWordLibrary" class in the "impl" package, while no other module needs to reference that "StaticWordLibrary" class directly. A key advantage in this scenario is precisely this aspect of hiding the internals of my application from others who might accidentally want to access and use these internals.

NetSuite
is a leading SaaS business software suite for ERP/financials,
eCommerce, and order management. NetSuite cloud applications are
commonly used by many mid-market and enterprise level companies, to
streamline operations and provide real time visibility for better and
faster decisions.
Oracle has introduced an all new NetSuite cloud adapter, in the latest release of its iPaaS -Integration Cloud Service (ICS). This new addition to the catalog of cloud adapters provides agility for NetSuite integrations, and enables organizations to access NetSuite content across business flows quickly and seamlessly.

Oracle Cloud Applications Moving to the Global Nerve Center
Global Nerve Center (GNC) - What is it?
Oracle has invested heavily in creating the next generation of Oracle’s Cloud operation center. In addition to the 21 Cloud Data Centers and Support worldwide, we are now pleased to introduce the Global Nerve Center (GNC).
What Is the Global Nerve Center?
The Global Nerve Center centralizes the best Cloud operations resources into locations worldwide. Oracle has constructed three massive, always-on, new command and operational facilities. These geographically-distributed locations provide a 24/7 ‘follow-the-sun’ support model, with the ultimate goal to improve the customer experience and success:
- Reading, UK – operational ramp-up started September 2015
- Bangalore, India – operational ramp-up started December 2015
- Bozeman, Montana – operational ramp-up planned for August 2017
These three linked facilities are dedicated to handling maintenance activities, unplanned outages and incidents, and will provide more cogent, accurate, and timely information around outages and incidents. In addition to investing in the latest, cutting edge technology, we are also 100% committed in investing in our people. At the end of the day, it is the people that make the biggest difference.
Oracle’s Cloud Services are being transitioned to this next generation Cloud operations center over time with several services already operational in GNC. The Fusion Applications Cloud Service is the next service scheduled to transition to GNC, and is targeted to be fully operational by the 2nd quarter of 2016.
Global Nerve Center Benefits
The investment in the GNC will enable Oracle to deliver a next generation cloud customer experience. Direct benefits:
- Keeping up with your business – Dedicated to perform at ‘speed of light’ allowing you to scale when needed and reduce issue to resolution time.
- System Availability – Continuous monitoring to minimize issues, benchmark performance, and maximize uptime.
- Transparency – Insight into system status, notifications, and other key resources

Using Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) for Loading to Oracle Cloud’s Human Capital Management (HCM)
The A-Team is on a roll…
To load data into Oracle Cloud’s Human Capital Management (HCM) with Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) – check out the following blog:
Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) for HCM-Cloud: a Knowledge Module to Generate HCM Import Files
HCM is unique in that it uses a dedicated file format that contains both metadata and data. As far as the data is concerned, the complete hierarchy of parent and children records must be respected for the file content to be valid.This article explores a new Integration Knowledge Module (KM). This KM allows us to leverage ODI to prepare the data and generate the import file. Then, traditional Web Services connections can be leveraged to load into HCM.
