Since Oracle BPM 12c was released this summer, many of our legacy BPM 10g customers have begun to ask what to expect from the migration path.  As my colleague Suyash Khot discussed in his article Oracle BPM 12c Migration - A Hand of Friendship to Oracle BPM 10g, Oracle has luckily given us a migration utility to kick-start the process of moving code from Oracle BPM 10g to Oracle BPM 12c.  While this utility is incredibly valuable and indeed very easy to use, it is well worth discussing the advantages and challenges this conversion presents us with.

This is the first in a series of articles where I’ll explore how various 10g coding patterns are translated into 12c and how we might overcome some of the issues this presents us with.  While in many cases the conversion is clean and maintenance-free, in other cases there is work to be done and issues to be on the lookout for.

In preparation for this article, I created a very simple, happy path Order Entry process in Oracle BPM 10g:   

You’ll notice that this consists of the “Place Customer Order” Global Creation Activity that calls the “PlaceCustomerOrderSF” screenflow: Read the complete article here.

I am in product marketing. Call it professional hazard but my day to day work life involves working with content – producing new content, putting together an outline for an asset in collaboration with sales, product management and business development or building content for an asset, reviewing asset content or sending it for reviews, working with internal marketing teams and external agencies and publishing content, both for internal and external consumption. So, yes, I am clearly interested and invested in making my life easier when it comes to content production and publication.

But over the course of the last couple of years, I found out that it wasn’t just me or the content management team sitting within the IT department that has a stake in content discussions. My peers in web marketing, campaign marketing, field marketing, our friends in sales, application integration or application development are all vested in driving and discussing trends in content management, especially those that impact their means of consumption and delivery of content.

Whether you work in content management, marketing, IT, brand compliance or are simply a consumer of content (aren’t we all?), you should have your voice heard by content management providers and industry thought leaders on what works and what would make your work life significantly easier.

And here’s your opportunity. On Thursday, April 20^th at 10 a.m. PST/ 1 p.m. EST, there is a live tweet chat on all things content. I strongly urge you to participate in the live discussion on twitter. Use#contentdgtl to follow the discussion and chime in. Challenge the status quo, get your thoughts heard and participate so that industry people know where the future of content should be headed.

Join the live chat (you can use any of the twitter chat platforms like TweetChat for example) using #contentdgtl and be a part of this important discussion.

I am in. Are you?

This post about Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) and PSRM was inspired by an interesting IMF working paper published by the International Monetary Fund about the impact of Electronic Fiscal Devices (EFDs) on taxpayer compliance and Administrative Efficiency.

The term Electronic Fiscal Device (EFD) can be used to describe a wide variety of technological devices that revenue administrations can use to help monitor business transactions. These devices include a "fiscal read-only memory" or/and they are connected real-time to a data warehouse to allow the tax authority to store and analyze the data as soon as the transaction occurs.

This is a way for the tax authority to catch the details about each sales transaction, for example:

The IMF paper authors interviewed many tax authorities to understand their expectations from the adoption of EFDs getting a clear indication of what they expect: Tax Authorities expect to maximize revenue collections increasing the voluntary compliance.

This is a challenging expectation, but is commensurate with the effort required to start an EFDs initiative. EFDs adoption requires, in most cases, a change in the local legislation, the installation of EFD devices in any commercial activity, a set up of the infrastructure to collect the data and of course the definition of business analytics. 

But this effort is still not enough to reach the objective. The adoption of a technology does not push automatically the taxpayers that are not compliant to change their habits.

The data coming from EFDs and their analytics are precious, but they need to feed a process designed to profile the taxpayers and isolate the "bad taxpayers" or at least, those taxpayers behaviors that deviate from the expected patters and require a further audit, field investigation, interview, etc.

PSRM can play a very interesting role in controlling and monitoring the framework joining the information coming from EFDs analytics with the events that occur (or not) on the taxpayers's account: taxpayer profile, filing, payments, refunds, taxpayer's request, collection, audit, etc.: 

Click on the image above to make it bigger.

The benefits of a PSRM and EFDs joint solution are many:

• Real-Time Identification of potential fraud or inaccurate taxpayers electronic data submission
• Monitor installed Fiscal Devices data submission vs Taxpayers Obligations to File
• Embedded inclusion of certified VAT transactions data repository during VAT Returns validation and processing
• Real-Time update of Taxpayers VAT Risk Profiles

The last item is particularly important: PSRM knows the details about the tax return filed by a taxpayer, EFDs analytics can determine the expected range of revenue declared by similar taxpayers running a business in the same industry, in the same geographical area, with similar number of employees, etc. Joining the two information:

• PSRM can automatically trigger actions when the taxpayer behavior is not within certain boundaries:
• Tasks can be assigned to qualified group of PSRM users for review
• Audit cases can be automatically created and assigned
• Field investigations activities automatically triggered
• User working in PSRM have an immediate benchmark about the "quality" of the taxpayer they are working on and they can use that information in their daily operations when, for example, they need to approve a refund, issue a tax clearance certificate, etc. 

Conclusion: The adoption of PSRM together with EFDs can significantly increase compliance and I see this as a two phases process:

• In the first phase of adoption of the new framework, the compliance increase is due due to the tax authority audit, enforcement activities and direct engagement with the taxpayer
• In the medium-long term the increase in compliance is due to voluntary compliance because the taxpayer community is aware about tax authority strategy and the processes in place to monitor and control the framework

Here is the full quote

Today is the day! We have new releases of both SQL Developer and SQL Developer Data Modeler.

I’ve been talking about v4.2 tweaks and enhancements for awhile now, and here’s the full list if you want to go back and review.

I’d like to share a few highlights though.

But first, FULL STOP. Go click that big button to the top and left.

Ok, let’s continue.

Formatter

I’d like to thanks the entire community for all the feedback, especially those of you who provided test code to exercise the new formatter. We made a few changes since the Early Adopter 2 update – tons of bug fixes, and tweaked the options a bit more based on your feedback.

With 4.2 now live in production, if our parser (and accordingly our formatter) doesn’t understand your code, we just won’t format it. In the EA’s we printed comments that showed the code bits we didn’t understand. For v4.2 production you should just see the parser ‘squiggle’ indicating where the code isn’t being interpreted correctly. Please share your code samples with MOS and the community if you think that’s a bug.

Make your code, pretty.

Some things of note:

• The preferences have moved AND changed from version 4.1. They’re now under the Code Editor page, and should also be simpler to understand now.
• There’s a ‘simple’ mode, and advanced mode, and an uber-expert mode.
• In advanced mode, you can format your code by hand, paste it into the preferences, and we’ll auto-detect how you want your code to look going forward.
• In uber-expert mode, you can tell the formatter exactly what to do to your code. Our developer Vadim has a couple of blog posts showing how to do this with examples.

Type code, as the formatter sees ‘stuff’ it changes the formatting options – these are highlighted in Green so you can see what’s changed.

Instance Viewer

Not a new feature – we first introduced the Instance Viewer in version 4.1. But we now offer a ‘Top SQL’ report. See your expensive queries, and drill down into them to see what’s going on or fix them.

Pretty colors, plus some interesting bits of data.

The licensing prompts on the drill down report let’s you know that the SQL Tuning Advisor and Run time history reports require the tuning and diagnostic packs, respectively. If you don’t click on those reports, then there’s nothing to worry about.

Everything the Instance Viewer hits on the main panel is of the ‘no additional cost’ data dictionary views category.

Easy Peasy Password Resets

No more requiring an Oracle Client to change your database passwords when you’re not already connected. Maybe the most compelling reason to upgrade your end users.

More details here.

Yup, this one.

12c Release Two Enhancements

We support big-ole object names now.

You CAN do this. Not sure you SHOULD do this though.

And you can create Analytic Views too!

And the Multitenant option got a lot of upgrades. Among them, Application Containers. We support those too.

Go to the DBA panel for your CDB.

New to 12cR2? Did you know our VirtualBox VM was upgraded to 12.2? Also has APEX 5.1 and ORDS 309 for ya.

Speaking of ORDS…

You can now manage your RESTful Services directly in the database connection tree! This is much easier than setting up your ORDS Dev user connection. You’ll see the new REST item in the tree, and I talk about this here.

Note the ‘REST Data Services’ item on the tree.

And the Modeler!

I think the biggest two changes of note are the ability to include your diagrams in your HTML and PDF reports AND the ability to now store your repository in GIT.

On the diagrams, you can ask to include them in your reports AND you can just directly print them to HTML/SVG.

File..Print Digram…

And we get..

WYSIWYG!

Now, here’s the deal on the GIT stuff. You’re still going to be using SQL Developer Data Modeler to manage your designs in your repository. AND, the modeler will still be making SVN calls. But, GIT supports SVN calls. We’ve optimized how we create the files so that this will work.

Et cetera and potpourii

This marks the end of the SQL Developer version 4.X releases. We’re moving towards a quarterly release schedule to synchronize up with our Database Cloud Services updates. So our next version will start with a 17 – for 2017, then quarter (1,2,3,4), then week.

This release also ships with the fewest known number of bugs…ever…for a SQL Developer release. We hate bugs. So we tried to kill ’em all. I’m sure you’ll find some more. Let us know. We’ll be able to release updates more frequently, getting you bug fixes that much faster.

Enjoy!
