How to Auto Dismiss an Oracle BPM FYI Task by Vikram

$
0
0

clip_image002


The  FYI Task in Oracle BPM 12c can be used to notify a task recipient by displaying a task on the  BPM worklist without holding up the business process, it just continues to the next activity in the process flow. But for the task to go away, it has to be specifically dismissed by the task recipient by clicking on the “Dismiss” button under the Actions menu.

But what if we wanted these tasks to go away automatically or be auto-dismissed by the system? To Demonstrate this we created a simple BPM process that contains an FYI Task and a second task.

The human tasks are assigned to swim lane roles “FYIRole” and “ReviewerRole”. After deploying this BPM process, we startup an instance using the Test feature in Enterprise Manager to invoke the message start.

When we startup the process instance, we can login as a member of the “FYIRole” to see that the task exists in the Swim Lane role inbox. Read the complete article here.

Dear SOA & BPM Partner Community,

On our journey towards the cloud it is key to present a roadmap for our on-premises customers. As a first step the upgrade to the latest Fusion Middleware 12c release ensures a smooth journey. Customers benefit also from new functionalities e.g managed file transfer in the latest releases of SOA Suite 12c and BPM Suite 12c. Make use of the integration success workshop (community membership required) material to demonstrate your customers the advantages. The latest release of Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.2. shows the continues improvements. In a second step customers can extend their integration platform for cloud integration. Cloud adapters can be deployed on premises or in the cloud. Workloads can be shifted to SOA Cloud Services, new process can be built in Process Cloud Service. Regular updates of the cloud services e.g. SOA Cloud Service 16.4.1 introduce new functionality. Get the latest update on the Oracle SOA Suite and BPM Suite on-premises roadmap and cloud transformation by Vikas Anand in the Community Webcast on November 29th 2016.

    Oracle provides beacon of hope to American Heart Association event by Edith Mireles

    clip_image002

    Oracle’s investment in emerging technology is nothing new. We want to bring the best in user experience to the Oracle Applications Cloud, and emerging technology like wearables and Internet of Things (IoT) are part of that strategy as they come more to the fore.

    So it was no accident when Oracle, a major sponsor of the Bay Area Heart Walk in September, looked to the Oracle Applications User Experience (OAUX) team to lead a project to build a smartphone application that used IoT-style beacons around the course.

    Photo by DJ Ursal, Oracle Applications User Experience

    Participants start off on the Bay Area Heart Walk Event.

    Working with Oracle Volunteers, DJ Ursal, Senior Director, Product Management User Experience, led the cross-functional, cross-organizational team that developed the app, which communicated with the beacons placed at strategic points to show users where they were on the course and other pertinent information. He developed the app with constant thought about how user experience translates to the overall business of Oracle. “You have to look in a very strategic way as to where ideas can translate and what use cases we can come across,” he said. “It’s not just coming up with ideas and use cases; the challenge is finding the real value and viability of it.”

    Seems simple, right? OAUX Group Vice President Jeremy Ashley takes it a step further, saying the real problem facing potential users of IoT was not being able to set up a beacon easily. “A very simple and direct app like Heart Walk allowed you to get a beacon, place it somewhere, and be able to program it with an iPad,” he said. “Anybody could walk around with the tablet, put [a beacon] in place, program it, and connect it to an enterprise system.”

    The team worked off the American Heart Association’s well-received mobile app presented at Oracle OpenWorld 2014, which bounced off a beacon at the OAUX demo station to give customers information about the demos and an interactive map as they walked around the conference. Ursal’s team delivered the components for the beacons to be integrated into the cloud platform for Heart Walk. Read the complete article here.

    Introducing Oracle JET for mobile app development

    $
    0
    0

    In March this year Oracle proudly announced that we had open sourced the Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit (JET), targeted at intermediate to advanced JavaScript developers working on client-side applications.  

    Since then we’ve released new JET versions every couple of months.  

    You can find out more about JET on the oraclejet.org website.

    Did you realize that you could use JET to develop enterprise mobile apps?

    This is made possible through JET's integration with Apache Cordova.  In this post, I’ll describe some of what we’ve added to JET to enable you to use Oracle JET for mobile app development.

    But first, I’ll start with an introduction to Apache Cordova.

    What is Apache Cordova?

    Apache Cordova is an open-source platform that allows you to use standard web technologies (HTML5, JavaScript and CSS) for cross-platform mobile app development. 

    That means you can develop one app, using one technology stack and a single code base, for deployment to Android, iOS and Windows mobile devices.

    A mobile app built using Cordova is a native mobile app that can be published to app stores and installed onto mobile devices. The application contains an embedded Cordova-enabled WebView, which is essentially a headless browser, and your code runs in the WebView.  Cordova also provides a JavaScript interface to native device APIs, via plugins.  There are 1000s of plugins to choose from and a plugin registry that you can search.

    This type of app is called a hybrid mobile app, because it is a hybrid between a native mobile app and web technology. 

    How does JET support hybrid mobile app development?

    Utilizing the Apache Cordova command-line interface, Oracle JET tooling enables you to scaffold, build and serve JET hybrid mobile apps in exactly the same way as you would a JET web app.

    The Oracle JET Yeoman generator has a hybrid sub-generator for scaffolding a hybrid app and supports Android, iOS and Windows platform options, along with the web platform.

    The four JET starter templates are provided in both web and hybrid versions, which are optimized for web apps and hybrid mobile apps, respectively. 

    Together, this allows you to scaffold a hybrid mobile as follows:

    yo oraclejet:hybrid MyMobileApp --platforms=ios,android --template=navdrawer:hybrid

    The Oracle JET Grunt tasks also support Android, iOS, Windows and web platform options so you can build and serve hybrid mobile apps to your desired platform. The 'grunt serve' task also supports deployment to different destinations, such as emulator, browser or device.  The following command line gives an example: 

    grunt serve --platform=ios --destination=emulator 

    Live reload is supported when your hybrid mobile app is deployed to a browser or emulator. This means you can modify your app’s source code and see the changes update in the deployed app instantaneously, saving you a long redeployment cycle.

    Can I develop a web app and hybrid mobile app with the same code base? 

    Yes!

    Oracle JET tooling enables you to take a “mobile first” approach to your web app design, based on a mobile-optimized template, then use the same source code to create your installable mobile app.  This is achieved by first scaffolding and developing a mobile web app with a hybrid starter template, then adding a hybrid target:

    yo oraclejet MyApp --template=navdrawer:hybrid
    yo oraclejet:add-hybrid --platforms=ios,android

    The scaffolded project contains separate src, src-web and src-hybrid folders, so that you can override any file within your source code to provide different web or hybrid functionality, as desired. 

    What does a JET hybrid mobile app look like?

    Along with Oracle’s Alta theme for web apps, JET also supports Oracle’s Alta mobile themes for Android, iOS and Windows, which closely match the native look & feel on each supported mobile platform.

    The Oracle JET Cookbook enables you to view JET components and patterns in each of the available themes and sized for different form factors, such as phone, tablet or desktop.

    Should you wish to develop your own custom theme and use this instead, the JET tooling facilitates this via SASS:

    yo oraclejet:add-sass
    yo oraceljet:add-theme --theme=MyTheme
    grunt serve --platform=ios --theme=MyTheme

    Is there a sample app that shows me how to do all this? 

    Yes!

    The Oracle JET development team has provided a sample app called FixItFast that was developed specifically to demonstrate how to develop a JET hybrid mobile app.  It also demonstrates a number of mobile UX patterns and shows how to communicate with an Oracle Mobile Cloud Service (MCS) mobile backend.

    You can find a live demo of the FixItFast web app here and instructions for how to scaffold, configure, build and serve it as a web or hybrid mobile app here

    Where can I learn more about mobile app development with JET?

    You can find videos about Oracle JET, including mobile app development, on the Oracle JET YouTube channel

    In addition, the Oracle Mobile Product Management team have published a number of articles in Dzone, describing how to start out with the Oracle JET tooling for web and hybrid mobile development:

    Following soon will be videos on how to integrate the Oracle Mobile Cloud Service JavaScript and Cordova SDKs into Oracle JET, watch this blog for an update!

    In conclusion

    Oracle JET supports hybrid mobile app development via enhanced tooling that supports the Android, iOS and Windows 10 mobile platforms, mobile-optimized starter templates, mobile-specific UI themes and mobile-specific patterns presented in the JET cookbook. 

    For more information about hybrid mobile app development with Oracle JET, refer to the Oracle JET Developers Guide.

    Will EBS Work with Microsoft Unified Update Platform?

    $
    0
    0

    Windows 10 logoMicrosoft is changing their packaging of major Windows 10 updates from full operating system downloads to smaller, incremental downloads.  This new delivery method is called the Unified Update Platform (UUP).

    The new UUP delivery method will provide only the Windows 10 patches that have been released since the last time a desktop was updated.  Microsoft currently expects to switch to this new delivery method after the Windows 10 Creators Update is released in early 2017.

    Will this work with EBS?

    Yes.  Windows 10 is certified with all current EBS releases, including EBS 12.1 and 12.2.  This new delivery method is not expected to change that.

    Microsoft emphasizes that nothing changes with Windows 10 itself -- this only modifies the way that Win10 patches are delivered:

    It’s important to note that with UUP, nothing will look or behave differently on the surface, UUP is all underlying platform and service optimization that happens behind the scenes.

    Lease Normalization overview

    Landlords and tenants whose companies are publicly traded need to comply with FASB-13 standards for accounting of leases. According to these rules, companies need to normalize or calculate the average rent payments/billings over the term of the lease. These normalized amounts need to be reported as revenue/expense, along with accrued revenue/liability, so that the investment community can accurately analyze the company's financials.

    Oracle property manager rent normalization functionality provides you with detailed monthly deferred liability and accrued asset amounts that can be accessed by accounting and finance departments to accurately calculate and estimate company-level revenue and expenses.

    Only those lease payment terms for which the Normalize check box is checked can be normalized and the total cash amount for these payment terms will be spread across the lease period

    Here is an example on how normalization functionality works

    Lease details

    Details

    Start Date

    End Date

    Amount

    Frequency

    Lease

    01-Jan-2016

    31-Jan-2016

    -

    -

    Payment Term

    01-Jan-2016

    30-Jun-2016

    30000

    Monthly

    Normalized amount is calculated as = Total cash amount for the term / Number of periods in Lease period

    = 30000*6 / 12

    =15000


    In the schedule and items program output file, you can see the amounts in the total cash column that will be sent to Payable's, in the normalization cash column we can see the actual amount for each period that will be normalized. If a payment term did not have the normalize checkbox checked the amount would be 0.00 in that column for the period in question.

    The calculation of normalized amount depends on many other factors setup for the lease. For more information on how system calculates the normalized amount refer document 1342664.1.

    Building hybrid-mobile apps with Oracle JET and MCS

    Taking on board the fact that Oracle JET is capable of producing not just web applications, but Cordova hybrid-mobile applications too, within the Oracle mobile team we're keen to explore how Oracle JET can be extended to Oracle Mobile Cloud Service, to provide all the backend mobile services that mobile apps require.

    If you're a regular MCS fan you will know that MCS provides a number of client-side SDKs to make the task of working with MCS easier than writing what can be a huge amount of boiler-plate REST API code depending on the complexity of your mobile app.   The MCS client side SDKs include Android, iOS and Windows SDKs, as well as a JavaScript SDK for web applications and Cordova SDK for hybrid-mobile Cordova platform apps.  These exist to remove much of the bulk REST API code with just a few client side library calls, giving you time to focus on building out a compelling app rather than focusing on what is essentially a plumbing task of calling remote APIs.

    It's with these last two SDKs that MCS builds a bridge to Oracle JET.  If you're building an Oracle JET web application, the MCS client-side JavaScript SDK is for you.  If you're building an Oracle JET hybrid-mobile application, the MCS client-side Cordova SDK is for you.

    Oracle JET makes use of RequireJS to load 3rd party modules. In terms of integrating the MCS SDKs into an Oracle JET application, you can use RequireJS too.  There are plenty of good tutorials on how to use RequireJS including the excellent public Oracle JET MOOC.  However we would also like to announce a new video on the Oracle Mobile Platform YouTube channel that shows you specifically how to load the MCS SDKs into Oracle JET, entitled Configuring the MCS JavaScript & Cordova SDK on Oracle JET.

    To be clear the MCS JavaScript SDK and MCS Cordova SDK are not just for Oracle JET.  You can use them in your own web or Cordova apps. Yet within Oracle we're seeing huge growth with Oracle JET, so we wanted to specifically focus on JET for this video.

    Also if you also have time, check out these recent Dzone articles that will introduce you to how to get the Oracle JET tooling up and running for both web and hybrid-mobile app development:

    Overall we hope you find this content useful.  Happy mobile JET-setting.
