Announcing Oracle Digital Assistant Release 21.04
The Oracle Digital Assistant team is thrilled to announce the availability of release 21.06, with some exciting new features:
• Machine Leaning Entities
• Hidden Skills
• System Entity Customization for Person, Date, Time, Currency and Number entities
Configure Slack as a Channel for the Oracle Digital Assistant by Daniel Teixeira
In this post I will create a Slack Channel to expose an Oracle Digital Assistant Skill. It’s not always the case but, for this task, the documentation is really good. I followed the instructions to the letter and all went smoothly. This post documents my experience.
All the info is available here.
Step1: Get a Slack Workspace
I got myself a personal slack workspace on: https://slack.com/create
Step2: Create an App
On https://api.slack.com/apps create a new app.
Step 3: Add OAuth Scopes for the Slack App
In the left navigation of the web console for your Slack app, within the Features section, select OAuth and Permissions.
Learning Entity Event Handler Programming by Example of Building an Expense Report Skill by Frank Nimphius
In previous articles I promoted the trinity of Composite Bag Entities (CBE), Entity Event Handler (EEH), and the System.ResolveEntities (RE) component as the (new) go-to technique for building model-driven conversations in Oracle Digital Assistant. Entity event handlers are called in the context of resolving composite bag entities, which allows you to influence the flow of conversations, but also how entities extract information from user messages.
In this article, I provide a Expense Report Skill (ZIP) that uses two composite bag entities and two entity event handlers to help users submit an expense report with one or many expense items. I am sharing this sample to provide you with entity event handler sample code that you can use to learn from.
Note: I developed the skill reporting example for an Oracle Digital Assistant Design Camp session about Entity Event Handler. So, if you are new to the topic of entity event handler, please pause here and watch this video first.
Responsive UI with the Dynamic Table in Visual Builder by Bino Kohli
Oracle’s Dynamic Components are now available in Oracle Visual Builder's components exchange. These components help you develop user interfaces that dynamically change what content is shown and how it is shown based on rules that you define. In this blog, we will show how a dynamic table can be used to create responsive applications and do content manipulation based on the size of the device.
If a dynamic layout is created conditionally based on the device size, you have the opportunity to tailor content and tweak user interactions based on the context of your users. The dynamic components uses rules that you define to decide which data to show and how to show it. Dynamic components rule engine is a powerful tool to conditionally render data on the UI. You can use the rule engine to dynamically control what is displayed in the UI. The layout engine has multiple inbuilt conditions and one of them is screen size. By accessing the screen size and creating different layouts for different screen sizes, we can control what is displayed on the screen and how it will be displayed.

Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI/OKE by Adrian Padilla Duarte
We’re pleased to announce the availability of the March release of the Oracle WebLogic offerings available in Oracle Cloud Marketplace. The new features available in this release are:
• Simplified backup and replication: OCI provides a feature, called OCI custom images, that allows users to backup or replicate an existing compute instance, with the customizations, software and configurations that have been included in the instance. You can now backup and replicate your Oracle WebLogic For OCI configuration using OCI Compute Custom images. Any compute instance created using Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI release version 21.1.3 or later are enabled to create custom images. These custom images are not exportable to other regions and do not include attached block volumes. To learn more about OCI custom images see the OCI documentation here.
• Oracle WebLogic Server for OCI Disaster Recovery support for File Storage Service: Prior to this release we have supported the use of the DataBase File Service (DBFS) for ongoing replication of primary WebLogic Server for OCI configurations to standby configurations for disaster recovery purposes. In this release we additionally support use of the OCI File Storage Services (FSS) for this replication. The Disaster Recovery Guide now includes instructions to use FSS instead of DBFS to configure the staging mounts for WebLogic config replication.
Coherence CE 21.06 Milestone 2 Released by Aleks Seovic
We are pleased to announce immediate availability of Coherence 21.06-M2 release, the second milestone release on the road to Coherence 21.06 scheduled for June of this year, which contains a number of bug fixes and improvements, and a brand new Repository API implementation. The Repository API implements Repository pattern and enables another way of accessing data stored in Coherence. It provides a higher-level API on top of the existing NamedMap API, effectively making many common data access operations one-liners. It is particularly well suited for applications that use Domain Driven Design (DDD), although it is certainly not limited only to those.
The Milestone 2 release adds support for asynchronous, CompletableFuture-based repository implementations, which allow you to access data managed by Coherence in a non-blocking fashion, as well as to stream potentially large result sets without incurring the cost of accumulating all the results in a single process.
Helidon Extension for Visual Studio Code by Andrey Serkes
The Helidon development team has decided to contribute to and support Java technologies in Visual Studio Code by creating an extension for Helidon. This extension will help users generate, develop and run a Helidon project.
Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a free IDE made by Microsoft. Its popular among front-end developers due to its flexibility, ease of customization and free use, but it also has great support for web development. This IDE is very extensible and support for additional languages and features can be provided by freely-available extensions on the VS Code Marketplace or you can write your own extension.
VS Code already has a set of very useful and popular extensions for Java, including support for Java language, debugger, maven and gradle support, and other technologies that are needed during the development.
Now we’ll look at the Helidon VS Code extension, explain what it can do and show how it works. Note that this is the first version of the extension and we will be adding new features in the future.
Where can I find the new extension?
The Helidon VS Code extension is available from our official GitHub repository. You will need to download the vscode-helidon.vsix file and install it in VS Code.
