If Your Processor Stalls From a Read After Writer Operation ...

$

0

... rewrite your code. Better yet, write code that avoids this problem in the first place. The problem can occur when an application wants to load a value that it has just stored in memory. Read After Write (RAW) operations are common, so most chips are designed with hardware that makes that happen fast. But in some cases, you can write code that stumps the hardware. And so it stalls.

And you tumble to earth in horror, screaming for your life and clawing at the controls.

And you smack into the a pile of rocks. Or, to the horror of young mothers in minivans, the freeway during rush-hour traffic. Or worse, the middle of the ocean, so that if you somehow survive the impact, you drown. And nobody finds your body. And your loved ones can never move on.

Unless you're wearing a parachute. Like the one we just published from Darryl Gove.

Tech Article: Avoid Performance Loss (And a Fiery Death) from RAW Hazards

by Darryl Gove

Darryl explains exactly how a processor can stall from a bad RAW operation, and the common situations that cause this problem. Then he shows you how to identify, fix, and avoid writing that kind of code. Examples included. Help your loved ones move on. Read Darryl's article.

Complements of Irina!

All the talk on the planet lately is about the Olympics, everyone cheering for the individuals who have dedicated their lives to pushing the human body to its limits. We admire and respect them, sometimes wish we had a fraction of that dedication. There is no quick route to that level of fitness and skill.

Seeing snow on the ground as I look out the window, my thoughts wander toward summer, remembering the color "green", and I begin preparing for a half marathon -- just a few months of training followed by a couple of hours of stress on the race course. There will be no cheering crowd throwing me flowers as I cross the finish line, only satisfaction in achieving a goal that I worked hard for.


Do you spend a lot of time training, not just in your personal life, but also at work?


We just upgraded the MOS Communities (MOSC) to Jive, merged them with the OTN Forums, so now we are together having to learn to navigate the new interface, along with all our other tasks.


One thing that might help you quickly get up to speed with the new MOSC and other features of MOS is this article, that has short videos explaining different MOS features:

Discover how to use My Oracle Support Video Series (Doc ID 603505.1)

  • How do you stay on top of the latest patches?
  • Where can you check that products are certified to work together before you begin installing willy nilly?
  • Is there a way to access our knowledge base while you're standing in line at the grocery store?
  • Will your product really be desupported at the end of the year?

All these and more are covered. Check out the videos while you're on the treadmill, and improve your life in multiple ways simultaneously.


We also have webcasts coming up that you might be interested in:

Oracle Service Cloud February 2014 Release – Streamlining Great Customer Service by JP Saunders

$

Time REALLY is money. You’re making money or losing it. Customers will either buy from you again, or they won’t. On average, seventy-one percent of consumers surveyedagree: "Valuing my time is the most important thing a company can do to provide me with good customer service."1So for consumers and for businesses, the "Is the juice worth the squeeze?" question comes down to how much juice (value) you deliver from how much squeeze (effort). You will pay a high cost in terms of relationships, reputation, performance and profits on slow, fragmented and inconsistent customer service.

If your organization seeks to provide great customer experiences, making your service processes faster and simpler is a good place to focus your efforts.The February 2014 release of Oracle Service Cloud provides a variety of enhancements that will help you streamline your customer experiences. Here are just a few highlights from the release.

1. Understand and Route Based on Customer Needs FASTER

Oracle Virtual Assistant Cloud Service is an online concierge made up of a combination of products designed to take complexity out of the online experiences by using human-like conversational language capabilities that truly understand human speak and predict human intent. New interface extensions in the latest release enable Virtual Assistant to draw on customer profile and interaction history, providing a more personalized experience and a streamlined dialog since it asks for data only when it is needed.The latest release is also enhanced with feedback reporting to help you understand the performance of Virtual Assistant in the service process. With the ability to drill-down to specific comments in poorly rated interactions, you can identify weaknesses and take corrective action to improve them.

2. Handle Complex Self-Service and Agent-Assisted Resolutions SMOOTHLY

For organizations seeking to automate business policies, Policy Automation provides the ability to quickly transform complex customer interactions through personalized, consistent, and transparent advice across channels. In this latest release, Policy Automation further streamlines the customer interview process for both customers and agents with new calendar controls and tabular data entry. Customer Service Agents are now better equipped to handle customer interactions with support for sub-interviews that follow the natural flow of the customer interaction. Additionally, the information captured in the interview and the results can be saved back to the incident for historical tracking purposes. And, you can expand the reach of these dynamic customer interviews to more customers with support for more languages – Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Portuguese, Japanese, and Italian.

3. Deliver Timely Agent Assisted Responses CONSISTENTLY

In today’s world of anywhere, anytime service, customers often expect customer service agents to respond to customer issues on the spot. With Oracle Service Cloud’s Mobile Agent App, roaming customer support agents and managers can access their contact center information "on the go," increasing productivity and customer responsiveness. This latest release allows you to tailor your mobile application in order to streamline access to the information needed to resolve the customer issue. Full support for Custom Objects provides mobile access to important information that’s unique to your customer service processes. Mobile workspaces are enhanced with new controls, allowing you to embed analytics, integrate with external Websites, and display SmartSense controls in the workspaces. And, lastly, the Mobile Agent App allows agents to upload pictures from their iPhone camera and photo roll to objects that support attachments, further increasing the agents’ ability to troubleshoot and respond rapidly.

For more information on these high-value features, please watch the Oracle Service Cloud – February 2014 Release Overviewvideo, or read theOracle Service Cloud – February 2014 Capabilities and Benefitsdata sheet.

Purging Improving Performance via Parallelism in Oracle Event Processing Pipelines with High-Availability by Mauricio Arango

$
0
0

This posting explains how to use parallelism to improve performance of Oracle Event Processing (OEP) applications with active-active high-availability (HA) deployments. Parallelism is exploited for performance gain in each one of the server instances of an HA configuration. This is achieved by identifying sections of an application’s processing pipeline that can operate in parallel, and, therefore, can be mapped to separate processing threads. Both pipeline and independent query parallelism are described.

Pipeline Parallelism

A pipeline architecture has inherent concurrency because each of its stages works in parallel on different data elements flowing through it. For example, in the pipeline in figure 1, if each stage is assigned its own processing thread, the following actions can occur in concurrently: input JMS adapter reads event #3 from a JMS topic, CQL query processor handles event #2, and output JMS adapter writes event #1 to a queue.

Figure 1. OEP Pipeline with three concurrent stages

figure1

Although OEP HA pipelines are limited to one thread per stage, significant performance gains can be achieved by running each stage in a separate thread as compared to running all stages on one thread or in a number of threads smaller than the number of pipeline stages.

A key constraint in OEP when using active-active HA (see Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer’s Guide for Oracle Event Processing 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.7) for Eclipse, section 24) is that it requires the input streams to both the primary and the secondary instances to be identical and to maintain the same event ordering as events flow through the OEP Event Processing Network (EPN). This constrain limits the EPN topology to be either a linear pipeline, starting from an input adapter and ending with an output adapter, or a tree where, each node with downstream branching replicates every event to each of its branches.

The event ordering requirement also limits to one the number of threads assigned to each stage of the EPN. Having more than one thread in one stage, for example, in an input JMS adapter, would fail to assure that the order of events entering the following stage, such as input channel, is the same in both the primary and secondary instances.

Stretching an inputText inside of a Table Column

$
0
0

A quick trick to note if you have a table that includes a column containing an <af:inputText>. If the user is able to re-size the columns within the table, then it's not unreasonable to have the inputText stretch along with the column to take advantage of the full width available. 

The first thing to do is to set the simple property of the inputText to "true".  This almost does the trick, but you'll find that as you stretch the column there is a small trailing gap between the end of the input field and the column which grows as the column is stretched. So although the input is stretched as well it does not fill the cell which looks a little messy.

The second trick then is to set the contentStyle property on the inputText to "min-width:100%;" Do this and you will eliminate that gap and the input will now fill the column cell completely as you resize.

        El Social Media (todos los medios que permiten alguna interacción con los usuarios, no solo las redes sociales)está siendo un canal crítico para las empresas, que les ayuda a comunicarse con los consumidores. Pero no es sólo un canal que nos ofrece oportunidades, también es un canal que supone un cierto riesgo. Nuestra presencia no es imprescindible para la existencia de una página en Facebook sobre nuestros productos o servicios. Todo lo contrario, nuestra presencia simplemente no es necesaria. Ya no decidimos nosotros si estamos presentes en las redes sociales o no, lo deciden los consumidores. Con lo cual, ya no es cuestión de si utilizamos el social media o no, la cuestión es, ¿cómo de bien utilizamos el social media?

        En vez de cadenas multi-nacionales, que se encuentran en centros comerciales gigantes, eran las tiendas pequeñas de nuestro barrio a las que solíamos acudir para cualquier necesidad comercial. Los empresarios conocían a sus clientes personalmente, casi tanto que felicitaban a cada uno cuando era su cumpleaños. La globalización imparable hace de nuestro mundo un lugar más pequeño y así pasamos de las tiendas pequeñas a unas empresas multi-nacionales con presencia global. Para poder seguir ofreciendo a los consumidores una experiencia personalizada es necesario la tecnología para apoyar todas nuestras interacciones con los consumidores. Un sistema CRM (Customer Relationship Management) es la solución ideal. O digamos, que lo era hasta hoy.

        Hoy un sistema de CRM tiene que ser un sistema moderno, uno que sabe cubrir el canal del social media. Comparado con la evolución de tiendas a empresas multi-nacionales, que se ha realizado poco a poco, el social media evoluciona a un ritmo mucho más alto. Millones de personas probablemente ya están hablando sobre nuestros productos y servicios, pero nosotros no formamos parte de esas conversaciones. Ya está siendo hora de modernizar nuestras aplicaciones antiguas, pero sobre todo, ya está siendo hora de modernizar la manera en la cual pensamos del social media .

        ¿Estás listo para empezar a escuchar lo que se dice sobre tus productos y tus servicios? ¿Estás listo para publicar sistemáticamente en varios canales sociales y participar activamente en las conversaciones sociales? ¿O ya has pasado por todo esto y estás listo para integrar el social media en todos tus procesos de negocios? Párate aquí un momento y piensa: ¿Estamos listos para el Social Relationship Management?

        Estés donde estés en tu viaje social, Oracle tiene las herramientas para convertir el social media en una parte integral de tu identidad corporativa. Encuentralos aquí.

        We’ve asked Konstantin, Software Development Direct at Oracle Saint Petersburg to share an insight into his career path within the company and also to give us some information about the team he is leading. Read on the interview and add your comments below!

        Hi Konstantin! Thank you for accepting to do this interview for the Recruitment team!Let's start with introducing yourself and giving us an overview of your current role at Oracle!

        “Hello everybody! My name is Konstantin, but my friends call me Kostya. I am part of the Product Development organization focusing on Java Platform and mainly Java ME and Small Embedded Product and Tools development. Currently, I am in a Director position managing the team of senior engineers and managers in the St.Petersburg Development Center at Oracle Russia.

        So, when did you start at Oracle and what has been your evolution so far?

        My team and I have joined Oracle through the Sun Microsystems acquisition. I was in a Senior SW Development Manager role at that time and I have been recently promoted to the SW Development Director.

        Tell us a few things about the organization that you’re leading and about the career opportunities.

        Oracle always follows the high-tech trends and finds new market opportunities. We have recently started to look at the rapidly growing embedded market with the new concept of the "Internet of Things" where billion electronic devices that are around us could be connected and could generate the useful data to help, simplify and make safe and comfortable human's life. Such solutions are on demand in automotive, smart home, health care, industrial and many other businesses.

        We believe that Oracle has the best set of products and platforms to introduce the ecosystem from the small chips generating the data up-to the big scale systems to identify, store and process the data.

        My team is working on Small Embedded Java which is the target platform for the edge-devices generating the data and doing some basic business logic. This is a very small but also very important part of the big picture which brings a lot of new technical and business challenges and as a result potential career opportunities for the people involved into this fast growing business.

        If I was looking for a job I would apply at Oracle because…

        It is a very successful company with outstanding products portfolio developed by brilliant technical community and managed by a great team of professionals.

        If you are interested in joining Oracle Saint Petersburg please visit oracle.com/careers or connect with Elizaveta Lenyashina on LinkedIn! We are currently hiring Java Developers!
