JSX in NetBeans IDE 8.2

0
0

JSX is a XML-like syntax extension to ECMAScript without any defined semantics. Many more details about it can be found here:

https://facebook.github.io/jsx/

JSX is popular in the React community which "recommend[s] using JSX because it is a concise and familiar syntax for defining tree structures with attributes. It's more familiar for casual developers such as designers." Many more details about that can be found here:

https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/jsx-in-depth.html

Many NetBeans IDE users have been asking for JSX support in NetBeans IDE, since they are using React:

https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250778

As you can see from the above, the NetBeans team has added parsing and lexing support for JSX over the past few days.

Let's take a look at the result, using this repo as an example project to try out JSX support in NetBeans IDE:

https://github.com/reactjs/react-tutorial

Here's what I see in a very (very very) recent NetBeans IDE build (click to enlarge the image):

Contrast the above to the same file opened in the current release of NetBeans IDE, i.e., NetBeans IDE 8.1, to see the difference:

Great news, isn't it? :-) At this point, don't expect extensive support for JSX or for React. However, as you can see above, at least you can now edit your files without there being error markings everywhere, which made NetBeans IDE impossible to work with when working with JSX.

Anouncing Software and Compute Enhancements to Private Cloud Appliance

This week we have also announced key software and hardware enhancements to Oracle Private Cloud Appliance, a fully configured Engineered System optimized for running a mix of general-purpose Oracle and non-Oracle workloads. With the refresh of Private Cloud Appliance software release 2.2, IT organizations and providers can deliver enhanced security and flexibility with full tenant isolation at both the server and network levels. PCA customers now have the flexibility to customize and assign servers and networks to different tenant groups based on business need.

In addition, we’re announcing a complete disaster recovery architecture for Oracle applications through SiteGuard with support for Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA), Oracle’s proven high-availability blueprint. Non-Oracle applications can take advantage of disaster recovery with Oracle VM. 

For improved ease of operations, Private Cloud Appliance now enables IT to allocate and provision 3rd party, external storage directly from a centralized tool with Oracle VM Manager eliminating the need to go back to the external storage.

Additionally, Private Cloud Appliance unveils significant compute performance and cost benefits with support for new Oracle Server X6-2-based compute nodes within the X5-2 base rack. The new compute nodes are more cost effective and deliver 33% more cores, increasing from 900 to 1,100 cores from the previous version and leverages the latest Xeon ES-2699 v4 processor for optimal performance. All this, and we’ve reduced the price of memory by 50%!

The Private Cloud Appliance builds upon its reputation as an extremely cost-effective and future-proof solution for general-purpose computing needs. The solution supports a mix of compute node versions that are backwards-compatible, protecting customer investments. And Private Cloud Appliance serves as a bridge to Oracle Public Cloud, leveraging the same management tool - Oracle Enterprise Manager - for private cloud and IaaS delivery, and is built on the same underlying technologies; Linux, hypervisors and servers.

Join us for a webcast on July 20 at 9AM PST where Chuck Hollis, Sr. Vice President of Converged Infrastructure, will discuss how Private Cloud Appliance plays an instrumental role in Oracle’s overarching Cloud strategy. And Krishna Srinivasan, Sr. Principal Product Strategy Manager of Private Cloud Appliance, will dive into these latest announcements and address your questions live.

BPM 12c Subprocesses (Part 3 of 3): Event Subprocess by Antonis Antoniou

0
0

clip_image001

In this third and last part of a three part series on subprocesses we will explore a special type of subprocess referred to as an “Event” subprocess.
This type of subprocess is triggered by an event that can occur anytime during the execution of a process flow that allows you to interrupt the normal flow of an instance.
Such capability can be applicable in various use cases. For example, an error might occur in the process, or you can very well define various service level agreements to delineate execution times or you can even have a business requirement to cancel a flow (for example cancel an order).
You can use the “Event” subprocess to implement such requirements (i.e. handle system and business exceptions).
“Event” subprocesses posses various unique characteristics. One of them is that, by configuration, you can have an “Event” subprocess either as interrupting, that is interrupting the normal process flow execution or have an “Event” subprocess running in parallel (concurrently) to the main flow of your process.
Another really nice and useful characteristics of an “Event” subprocess is that it shares the same context as the main flow of the process, meaning that from the “Event” subprocess you can have access to all the data objects that are used by the main process (and of course update their state).
An “Event” subprocess resembles like an embedded subprocess (except that it’s displayed in a dashed-line boarder), however an “Event” subprocess cannot have outgoing or incoming sequence flows. And just as with the other types of subprocesses an “Event” subprocess can define data objects that are local to its scope.We will implement a very simple process that will make use of the event sub-process to simulate the functional use case depicted by the image above; the scenario is straightforward, you can cancel an order as long as it’s not shipped.

    HCM Cloud – Bulk Integration Automation Using SOA Cloud Service by Jack Desai

    0
    0

    clip_image002Introduction

    Oracle Human Capital Management (HCM) Cloud provides a comprehensive set of tools, templates, and pre-packaged integration to cover various scenarios using modern and efficient technologies. One of the patterns is the batch integration to load and extract data to and from the HCM cloud. HCM provides the following bulk integration interfaces and tools:

    HCM Data Loader (HDL)

    HDL is a powerful tool for bulk-loading data from any source to Oracle Fusion HCM. It supports important business objects belonging to key Oracle Fusion HCM products, including Oracle Fusion Global Human Resources, Compensation, Absence Management, Performance Management, Profile Management, Global Payroll, Talent and Workforce Management. For detailed information on HDL, please refer to this.

    HCM Extracts

    HCM Extract is an outbound integration tool that lets you select HCM data elements, extracting them from the HCM database and archiving these data elements as XML. This archived raw XML data can be converted into a desired format and delivered to supported channels recipients.

    Oracle Fusion HCM provides the above tools with comprehensive user interfaces for initiating data uploads, monitoring upload progress, and reviewing errors, with real-time information provided for both the import and load stages of upload processing. Fusion HCM provides tools, but it requires additional orchestration such as generating FBL or HDL file, uploading these files to WebCenter Content and initiating FBL or HDL web services. This post describes how to design and automate these steps leveraging Oracle Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Cloud Service deployed on Oracle’s cloud Platform As a Service (PaaS) infrastructure.  For more information on SOA Cloud Service, please refer to this.

    Oracle SOA is the industry’s most complete and unified application integration and SOA solution. It transforms complex application integration into agile and re-usable service-based components to speed time to market, respond faster to business requirements, and lower costs.. SOA facilitates the development of enterprise applications as modular business web services that can be easily integrated and reused, creating a truly flexible, adaptable IT infrastructure. For more information on getting started with Oracle SOA, please refer this. For developing SOA applications using SOA Suite, please refer to this.

    These bulk integration interfaces and patterns are not applicable to Oracle Taleo.

    Main Article

    HCM Inbound Flow (HDL)

    Oracle WebCenter Content (WCC) acts as the staging repository for files to be loaded and processed by HDL. WCC is part of the Fusion HCM infrastructure.

    The loading process for FBL and HDL consists of the following steps:

    • Upload the data file to WCC/UCM using WCC GenericSoapPort web service
    • Invoke the “LoaderIntegrationService” or the “HCMDataLoader” to initiate the loading process.

    However, the above steps assume the existence of an HDL file and do not provide a mechanism to generate an HDL file of the respective objects. In this post we will use the sample use case where we get the data file from customer, using it to transform the data and generate an HDL file, and then initiate the loading process.

    The following diagram illustrates the typical orchestration of the end-to-end HDL process using SOA cloud service: Read the complete article here.
