I realized again, during the recent NetBeans Days in Athens, London, and Bangalore, that everyone appreciates quick NetBeans tips. In London, Mark and Zain provided those tips, in Athens it was Bethan and Georgia, while in Bangalore Aatul and Tushar did the honors. And, in each of those cases, the result was great and useful.

So, I'm starting a new YouTube series on that topic, hopefully one a week, and to make it as simple and doable as possible am constraining it to literally two minutes, focused on one very specific and focused tip, which means that it takes about 15 minutes in total to produce, so I really have no excuse.

Drum roll... two minute NetBeans tips, part 1:

The above tip comes from the NetBeans Day London session by Zain and Mark, supplemented by some specifics whispered in my ear by Vladimir, who was sitting next to me during the session.

Target Audience: Oracle SuperCluster Customers

By default osc-setcoremem runs in interactive mode prompting and waiting for critical user inputs. In a way it makes sense as the core count and memory options for the remaining logical domains in input screens depend entirely on the cores and memory chosen for the domains that user already provided input for. In other words, available core count and memory capacity for some of the domains dynamically change based on the user selection of resources for some of the other domains on the target system.

If the customer is pretty comfortable with the tool and knows ahead the combination of core/memory inputs for each of the logical domains that the tool would accept without complaining, they can probably run the tool in non-interactive mode for convenience. Non-interactive mode can be used to perform all operations that are supported by interactive mode. Tool's functional behavior is the same irrespective of how the core/memory inputs were provided for each of the logical domains -- interactively or non-interactively.

Non-interactive mode has been introduced in the 2.3 release of osc-setcoremem tool. This mode can be triggered by a combination of -type and -res options. An optional -y flag would skip the prompt for confirmation.

Supported options in non-interactive mode:

-type socket|core -res [min|max|current|x_sockets|x_cores/x_memgb]:[...]:[min|max|current|x_sockets|x_cores/x_memgb] [-y|-n] [-h|-help]

-type specifies the type of granularity to be used for resource allocations -- socket or core.

-res specifies the socket or core/memory resource assignment to all logical domains that are eligible for resource reconfiguration; and each resource assignment is separated by a ':' (colon ). The order of resource assignments matches the order shown in the output from osc-setcoremem -list.

• In addition to the integer values for socket count, core count and memory capacity in gigabytes, tool accepts symbolic values like min, max and current. min/MIN and max/MAX specify the minimum and maximum possible resource assignment whereas current/CURRENT indicates the tool to retain the current value as is. If it is not possible to retain the current value, a value that is as close as possible to the current value will automatically be used.

-h|-help option provides on-screen help with few example input strings.

Please review the Change CPU/Memory Allocations Non-Interactively section in Oracle SuperCluster M7 Series Administration Guide for additional details.

Example:

Here is an example osc-setcoremem session showing the non-interactive mode in action. Once user provides all required inputs on a single line, the tool shows the interactive screens and auto-fills the inputs as if user entered those inputs. This gives the user a chance to compare what was provided as inputs against what is being used by the tool.

# ./osc-setcoremem -list

 Following domains will be restarted:

        ssccn1-dom4
        ssccn1-dom1

 This configuration change requires rebooting the Control Domain.
 Do you want to proceed? Y/N : N

 No changes made to existing CPU / Memory configuration.

Tip:

When running interactively, lookout for INFO tag that shows equivalent non-interactive input string that can be used later on if the system needs to be reconfigured with the same resource configuration from a different random state.

eg.,

 [ INFO ] Equivalent non-interactive input string for the record:
         /opt/oracle.supercluster/bin/osc-setcoremem -type core -res 33/368:4/176:17/96:23/128

Resetting the CPU/Memory Configuration

-reset option returns the system to the original state of socket/core/memory allocations without affecting other changes that were made in each of the domains since the system was set up initially. For example, if a domain was reconfigured to use 40 cores from the original setup of 32 cores, -reset option brings the domain to the originally allocated 32 cores. This option wouldn't impact the applications that were configured inside the domains - it only impacts the core/memory resources that the target domains can use. Also this option does not reset the SP configuration.

In this short video demonstration I'd like to show you how easy it is to get a full development platform provided as a service to enable an agile development process and to automate DevOps & delivery.

Here I am using Oracle DevCS 16.4.1, which has a new UI and over 30 new features. The video has been created as part of my presentation with Sven Bernhardt at DOAG Conference in Nuremberg.

Continuous Integration and continuous delivery are the main DevOps building blocks. Continuous integration includes the phases: Build => Test => QA. Whereas continuous delivery is focussing on => Publish => Deploy => Release. The Oracle DeveloperCS provides tool support for all these phases. The good thing is that it comes as a free entitlement with trial and paid orders for multiple Oracle Cloud Services, you can get it in less than 2 minutes and you might not need more than 10 mouse-clicks.

Real Time Tracking with Oracle NoSQL Database

I recently got back from a short trip to Boston to watch my daughter race in the Boston Marathon. As soon as my wife and I found some spots to watch, about 1 mile from the finish line, we got out our phones and fired up the tracking software. We were both disappointed at the ability to get timely updates regarding the progress of our daughter. Remember that once you have a space to stand and watch, you basically don’t move for greater than 4 hours and try to figure out when your favorite runner will be passing your spot. An effective and efficient tracking application is critical for this.

I got to thinking about the application for tracking runners, now that RFID tags are common place and so inexpensive. Each numbered bib that the runner wears contains an RFID chip that can be activated as the runner passes on or through the data activation mat. Here is what the sensor looks like from an actual Boston Marathon bib.

During the race, at specific intervals, the time of activation of the sensor is captured, stored, and some simple computations are then performed, such as the most recent minutes/mile and an extrapolation of what the expected finishing time will be. A NoSQL application for the timing of runners would be quite straightforward to develop. Let’s look at two of the basics.

• Registration – when someone registers to run in a race, the basic information must be acquired, including name, address, phone and birthday. The birthday is actually quite important, as qualifying times are based on the age at the time of the race, as well as how a participant places within their respective age group.

For example, a JSON Document could be created at registration time with the following information.

{

"RunnerId":12345,

"Runner" : {

"firstname":"John",

"lastname":"Doe",

"birthdayyear":”1985”,

“birthdaymonth”:”02”,

“birthdayday”:”15”,

"email" :"john.doe@example.net",

“payment”:”Mastercard”

“paymentstatus”: “paid”

"social":{

"twitter":"@jdoe",

"instagram":"jdoe_pics"

},

}

}

• As the race begins, each runner passes over a mat on the ground which activates the RFID chip and records the start time. As the runner progress over the race course, at specified intervals the runners cross more of these mats and the times are recorded. Simple math can then determine the elapsed time for that specific runner, as well as the minutes per mile over the past interval, as well as extrapolate the expected finish time. The JSON data as the race progresses may look like below which is quite small and can be transmitted to the servers quite quickly, or even batched up (depending on the transmitting device capability) and sent every few hundred runners, or when there is a break in the runners crossing the mat.

{

"RunnerId":”12345”,

"milestone":"milestone_5k",

"timestamp":"2017-04-12T10:00:00"

}

Then, this information could be added to the race record for the runner as they make progress.

"Marathon_Boston" : {

                “RunnerID”:12345,

"start_time":"2017-04-12T10:00:00",

"milestone_5k":"2017-04-12T10:21:00",

"milestone_10k":"2017-04-12T10:44:00",

"milestone_15k":"2017-04-12T11:10:00",

"milestone_20k":"2017-04-12T11:25:00",

"milestone_25k":"2017-04-12T11:42:00",

"milestone_30k":"2017-04-12T11:56:00",

"milestone_35k":"2017-04-12T12:09:00",

"milestone_40k":"2017-04-12T12:28:00",

"milestone_41k":"2017-04-12T12:42:00",

"milestone_42k_end":"2017-04-12T12:45:00"

}

Overall, this would be an ideal application to use a NoSQL system. The amount of data, even for a 35,000 person race would not be very much, and as the runners spread out, even less so than comparted to the starting gates. If we assume that each runners record would consume about 1K of data, then for the entire race there would only be about 35 MB of raw data. If we then assume a replication factor of 3, and include some overhead, the entire race data would need about 225 MB of storage, which could easily fit on a USB thumb drive. Using high speed SSDs can store in the Terabyte (TB) range, so that thousands of marathons results could be stored in a single Oracle NoSQL Database.

This still doesn’t answer the question as to why the updates were so slow, but from my source in the Boston area, the downtown is notorious for poor cell service and add many thousands of race watchers trying to use their tracking apps at basically the same time, and you can start to understand the delays. At least we know that if a system were based on NoSQL, it would not be the culprit.

One of the new features in version 4.2 of SQL Developer is the ability to work with your ORDS Restful Services directly in the database tree.

Here’s a video demo…

Features via Screenshot

Some of you don’t have access to YouTube at work (or at home apparently), so here’s a quick snapshot.

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

As you make changes here, the REST Services, assuming they’re published and ORDS is actually running, are affected immediately.

I really like this part, if you know SQL or PL/SQL, you can create a RESTful Service.

See my other recent ORDS posts to get an idea of what you can do in terms of defining parameters, defining POST or PUT handlers, etc.

Something that you do not explicitly have to pay for may feel as having no value. The Developer Cloud Service is available free of additional charge with most Oracle PaaS services – and as such may suffer from a perceived lack of value. That would indeed be unfortunate – given the enormous strides made by the team behind this service, one of the oldest on the Oracle public cloud. DevCS has a clear goal: deliver better applications faster and cheaper – through agile development and DevOps. DevCS offers tools and integrations with target platforms that support increasing the agility for delivering features in products in a more frequent pattern – as well as increasing quality and productivity of professional software engineering activities in general.

DevCS incorporates source code control and version management, based on the industry standard Git system. It includes various tools for automated testing and QA – including Selenium, jUnit, Findbugs . Continuous integration and automated deployment are handled through

Hudson (somewhat unfortunately, since Jenkins is considered the community standard) with build automation done with Ant, Maven, Gradle, npm, Grunt, Bower and Gulp. Integrated deployment is offered to cloud services JCS & JCS-SX, DBaaS, SOA CS, ACCS and to the Container Cloud Service Docker Registry in the near future. Read the complete article here.

Understanding Oracle's Integration Cloud Service and how to get the most out of your implementation

Businesses are built on data, and applications that access that data. In modern businesses the same cloud-based data stores and applications might be accessed by hundreds of different applications from thousands of different devices via APIs. To make this happen, APIs must be wired together i.e. integrated. Oracle Integration Cloud Service provides a complete method for integrating enterprise applications in the cloud. Integration Cloud Service (ICS) provides a cloud hosted means to integrate systems together using a graphical means to define and represent integrations.

This book will be a comprehensive, hands-on guide to building successful, high-availability integrations on ICS. This book sets out to demonstrate how ICS can be used to effectively implement integrations that work both in the cloud and on-premise. It starts with a fast, practical introduction to what ICS can do for your business and then shows how ICS allows you to develop integrations not only quickly but in a way that means they are maintainable and extensible. Gradually it moves into more advanced integrations, showing how to achieve sophisticated results with ICS and work with external applications. Finally the book shows you how to monitor cloud apps and go beyond ICS to build even more powerful integrated applications. Get the book here and visit our SOA Book wiki here.
