| Help Wanted: How A Grocer Finds Workers Willing To ‘Do It All’ With A Smile by Linda Currey |
|
| To work in Britain’s Co-op food stores, employees have to do a little bit of everything during any given shift. To keep the Co-op convenience stores and neighborhood markets running smoothly, staffers may accept deliveries, unpack boxes of groceries, flowers, and household items, stock the shelves, clean up spills, or run the registers, all while welcoming customers. New hires need the qualifications to do it all. |

| Using the next generation Activity Stream by Mamta Sangwan |

Since the information was scattered at two places, user had to keep switching between them to get the complete picture of the Instance. With this new Activity Stream, we are clubbing Audit Trail with Tracing information and showing more compact and easily readable Activity Stream. |

| API Management for Cloud Native Development by Robert Wunderlich |
|
We’re pleased to announce the Limited Availability (LA) release of the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API Gateway service.
This service is a highly available, fully managed gateway that enables developers to create governed HTTP/S interfaces for other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, including Oracle Functions, Container Engine for Kubernetes, and Compute. |

| Notifications from Oracle API Platform Cloud Service by Phil Wilkins |
|
| There are circumstances in which notifications from the Oracle API Platform CS could be seen as desirable. For example, if you wish to ensure that the developers are defining good APIs and not accidentally implementing APIs that hit the OWASP Top 10 for APIs. Then you will probably configure things such that developer users can design the APIs, configure the policies, but only request an API to be deployed. |

| API Platform – Developer Portal Delegated Authentication by Phil Wilkins |
|
The API Platform when you configure IDCS to provide the option to authenticate users against a corporate Identity Provider such as Active Directory will automatically update the Management Portal Login screen accordingly. However today it doesn’t automatically update the Developer Portal login page. Whilst perhaps an oversight, it is very easy to fix manually when you know how.

| Jarvis Pizzeria: Input and Output Storage of Decision Model Invokes by Marcel van de Glind |
|
| In this blog we describe a way to store the Input and Output of Decision Model Invokes (in JSON format). From an administrative point of view, we at Jarvis believe it is important that we can always see how we have achieved certain results. In this case this means that we want to know with which variables the Decision Model was invoked and what the outcomes were. How we do this is subject of this blog. |

| Jarvis Pizzeria: Managing DM Masterdata Validity Period by Marcel van de Glind |
|
| In a previous blog we described how to retrieving the masterdata from a VBCS Business Object. In this blog we will expand this further with a validity period for the masterdata. Now let’s expand our scenario (see previous blog) a little further. Currently, one of the means of transport in the Decision model is a bike. Many bikes in the Netherlands are currently being replaced by an electrically powered version. Jarvis Pizzeria will also replace regular bikes with electric bikes from the new year. The change must also be implemented in the system (read Decision Model). |

| OIC Process: Auto-Mapping Elements in the Data Mapper by Jan Kettenis |
|
| When mapping data in the Oracle Integration Cloud (or OIC for short) you sometimes discover that elements you want to map from are not always available as a source on the left-hand side. As I recently found out (thank you Eduardo Chiocconi!) that does not necessarily mean that they are not available for mapping. An example might be including some elements of the request in the title of the process instance. Until now I always did this by including a Data Mapper right after the Start Event. However, the same I could have achieved in the Start Activity itself. |

| Jarvis Pizzeria: ICS – XSLT parameters that are not found but are being used? By Marcel van de Glind |
|
| Recently I came across an odd phenomenon in an ICS mapping that I want to share with the community via this blog. In short: XSLT parameters that are not found but are being used. Let me explain: at VBCS we have a Business Object whose data can be accessed via a REST call. Here the “q” parameter can be used to filter on characteristics that are stored in the BO. In the maximum variant, the “q” parameter can contain 8 characteristics (see screenshot below). |
