Recently Oracle published the “Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure domain on Docker” - providing an official, easy, and quick way to host your Oracle ADF applications in Docker/Kubernetes and control them using the WebLogic Kubernetes Operator.

| Delivering Conversational AI to Your HR Experience by Carlos Chang |
|
A digital assistant is an intelligent chatbot that can answer questions and proactively engage users in an individual, contextual manner.
Oracle Digital Assistant can help your small-to-medium business (SMB) operate more efficiently. Businesses can automate key processes and offer important productivity tools to their teams |

| How to Build a Webhook to Connect Your Oracle Digital Assistant to Google Home by Michael Wootton |
|
Let's assume you built a chatbot using Oracle Digital Assistant and you've exposed it on various messengers and Alexa too. A next step then could be to connect your chatbot to Google Home.
I did research this topic quite a lot but couldn't find anything complete describing how to do this using Google Actions on Google API version 2. So, what has started as a research, eventually has become an opportunity for me to write a comprehensive guide to integrate Oracle Digital Assistant with Google Home. |

| How to: Adding Speech to Oracle Digital Assistant; Talk to me Goose by Luc Bors |
|
| At Oracle Code One in October, and also on DOAG in Nurnberg Germany in November I presented on how to go beyond your regular chatbot. This presentation contained a part on exposing your Oracle Digital Assistant over Alexa and also a part on face recognition. I finally found the time to blog about it. In this blogpost I will share details of the Alexa implementation in this solution. |

| Customizing the Oracle Bots Node.js SDK Component Template by Frank Nimphius |
|
The Oracle Bots Node.js SDK includes a command line utility that you can install globally on your local computer and that lets you easily create new custom component and custom component projects.
The custom components created by the Oracle Bots Node.js SDK contain a "hello world" content that contains examples fo the two main function calls: metadata() and invoke(). In addition, the invoke() function implementation shows example code for how to access input parameters ("human" in the example), how to print responses to the bot ("conversation.replay(...)) and how to pass control back to the bot ("done()"). |

| Filtering List Results from a REST Service with Visual Builder by Shay Shmeltzer |
|
| I posted several blogs in the past that covered how to us the filterCriterion property of a service data provider (SDP) in order to filter the results you see in a table or a list including how to use compound conditions for advance filtering. This works great with REST services that are exposed on the business objects you created in Visual Builder, but if you'll try and use this filterCriterion approach with other REST services, you'll notice it doesn't work out of the box. In this blog I'll show another approach to filtering REST services that populate a service data provider. |

| Running Oracle JET as Progressive Web App by Andrejus Baranovskis |
|
| Progressive Web Apps (PWA) topic is a hot thing in web development these days. Read more about it - Progressive Web Apps. The beauty and power behind PWA - user can install a web app to his mobile device, without going through the app store. This simplifies update process too, when a new version of the app is available, the user will get it straight away, because it is essentially a Web page, wrapped to look like an installed app. |

| My private Corner - When leadership changes III |

Vikas message for the partner community: 17 years of fun times, challenging times and everything in between. Yes, the clock really ticks fast. And what an amazing ride this has been. Oracle provided me amazing opportunities through the years, to eventually lead the Oracle Integration Portfolio.
It’s bittersweet to leave a workplace you’ve enjoyed. I have had the privilege to meet many of you through the years during my travels to Oracle offices across the world. It has been a pleasure working alongside the incredible talent Oracle has. This place, this work, and its people have meant so much to me. I am #oracle and #oracleintegration proud!
I am very grateful for the support you have provided to me, and my team over the years - that has translated into the huge success Oracle integration has experienced. In the most recent Gartner MQ we are #2 in vision, and Oracle integration continues to march upwards vs the competition. We enter into FY20 with a stellar roadmap, amazing go to market, and new saas attach opportunities. Plus, you will have the support of the outstanding and passionate Oracle integration Product Management, and Engineering team!
None of us achieve in isolation, and the successes we’ve enjoyed together have been a result of our mutual cooperation, and collaboration. This collaboration and success will continue to amazing new levels with:
- Scott Haaland and Jon Huang as your point of contacts for outbound support for SOA CS & OIC, and OIC4SaaS respectively
- Siddharth Pande will be your contact for anything related to OIC product roadmap and plans
- Jagdeep Singh on the team will help you build executive partner relationships
- Jim Bole on the team is your point of contact for strategic customers deploying OIC, SOA CS etc
I will continue to track the progress of OIC albiet from a distance.
Stay in touch. Vikas Anand
Thank you and keep the flag of Oracle Integration flying high always! |
