This blog post contributed by Ajay Verma. While designing a workflow process there seems to be a general tendency to make the process as granular as possible. Each steps are broken into several simpler steps, which are executed as part of separate workflow activities. It does give a much finer understanding of the business processes to [...]
I tried editing the business rules in the entity which allows me to write an error message but when I do it, I still get the same error messages, which I do not understand, I mean I already have database rules, like ID is mandatory, and when I write in…
I published an article with Tom and Mark late early 2009 around using Tuxedo. With the recent release of Tuxedo ART for mainframe rehosting, i thought it would be good to revisit this article. It is actually an excerpt from the book on Modernization that Tom and I published in 2008. Stay tuned two more [...]
In my earlier post Testing Business Rules with JDeveloper Rule Designer I presented an example of testing rules using the JDeveloper Rules Designer. While that’s nice, testing rules from a simple Java Class is even better. This article presents an example of how the 11 rule engine can be called locally from a standalone [...]
The JDeveloper 11G Rules editor allows developers to test business rules directly from within the Rules Designer. The "User’s Guide for Oracle Business Rules" does a nice job of introducing testing fundamentals such as creating the test function and passing a simple fact. This posting presents a more complex example illustrating; – How to create [...]
We’ve got some code converted from our WANG system (and COBOL) into PL/SQL. Effectively, our business rules are coded into our table triggers. We have a global variable which we use to short-circuit these business rules from executing. We haven’t not…
Phew, that’s the best title I could think of for this post. Not the most inspiring I’d agree. Anyway, let’s continue. Users of JDeveloper 11g ADF Business Components will be familiar with the ability to create Declarative Validation Rules on an EO’s underlying table’s primary key, somewhat confusingly (as we will see) referred to as [...]
Ian Glazer recently blogged about federated provisioning, saying "Federated provisioning should not exist; there is only provisioning.". Well, I think he’s both right and wrong about this. Let me explain. Suppose two companies, Acme and Omega enter into a federation agreement, whereby employees of Acme will be able to access a service at Omega using [...]
One of the big buzzwords this past month or so has been "Identity Assurance". Liberty Alliance made a big push for the Identity Assurance Framework (IAF)at DIDW last month, conducting a number of sessions/workshops introducing it to the masses. Our old friend Frank Villavicencio, who is a co-chair of the IAEG, was a star at [...]
“Oracle Business Rules makes processes and applications more flexible by enabling business analysts and non-developers to easily define and modify business logic without programming.” That is a nice blurb on what it does straight from the web site. When working with Siebel you use Oracle Business Rules (OBR) for your integration work. While you could [...]
