How SaaS Products Can Enhance Your Business

Aggregated on: 2020-06-08 19:30:03

Digitization has become less of a luxury and more of a necessity for businesses these days. It is not just about keeping up with the trends of the world and the demands of your customers. It is equally about staying ahead of the game in a fast-paced world. But, digitization is not something that you can just snap your fingers and get done. It requires time, patience, and, more importantly, acceptance. Everyone knows all too well about management and administration that are highly reluctant about and resistant to change. Especially when talking about exporting the business operations that funnel to a system which, to many of these people, is difficult and esoteric-- the change can experience friction. Some businesses prefer to keep their digital systems in their own hands as much as possible. However, others-- especially those looking to reduce expenses, infrastructure, and hassle-- will go for SaaS. Businesses normally keep their presentations and pitches using PowerPoint templates and Keynotes, which now have moved to SaaS-Based Products like Canva, Crello Etc, which is an excellent example for SaaS Models. Why SaaS Is the Choice of the Future The focus of every single system nowadays is to reduce load. In light of the present circumstances, this is even more important. People want a business that they can access from anywhere, take with them wherever they go, and not lose continuity. They want to outsource digital operations to third parties, so they can focus on their business. In fact, it is the businesses running on SaaS products right now that are thriving the most, even amid a global crisis. There has hardly been a dent in their profits. This goes on to show how much more of a right choice SaaS is not just now but even in the future. And we will show you why.

Tips for Helping Your Teams Self-Organize

Aggregated on: 2020-06-08 19:30:02

If you work in any sort of management position or a team environment, you have likely heard the term "self-organizing" team. This is something that has become a key ingredient in high performing and motivated teams and when I first learned about it, the idea made total sense. However, it is such a high-level concept that I had no idea how to go about coaching and encouraging teams to effectively self-organize. After a great deal of research, experimentation, and failure, here is a list of tips that I wish I would have had when I was first getting started. Why Self-Organizing Teams? "It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do." - Steve Jobs To me, this quote helped clarify the idea behind self-organizing teams. I have worked in organizations where teams wait for their orders to come from above and then grumble when they don't like the orders. They are often afraid to push back for fear of stepping on anyone's toes or because they feel that they will not be listened to. With the amount of time and money it takes to hire good people, this is very wasteful.

Does Remote Software Quality Assurance (QA) Really Work?

Aggregated on: 2020-06-08 17:10:03

Businesses in any industry, from manufacturing and construction to financial services and retail, have become increasingly dependent on technology, not just to succeed but to survive. As a result, businesses cannot afford the potential losses of productivity and security breaches due to ineffective software testing. No enterprises have the luxury to ignore unexpected downtime from software failures. By not prioritizing quality assurance for business-critical applications, enterprises are essentially setting up their business-critical processes to fail.

An Introduction to Reactive Programming With Spring

Aggregated on: 2020-06-08 13:40:03

Introduction This is part one of a series of articles that will serve as an introduction on how to build reactive web applications using Spring Boot, Project Reactor and WebFlux. It will be a beginners guide to the reactive world, but the reader is assumed to have previous knowledge on Java and Spring Boot. Why Reactive Programming? Reactive programming has been around for some time but gained much higher interest during the last couple of years. The reason for this relates to the fact that traditional imperative programming has some limitations when it comes to coping with the demands of today, where applications need to have high availability and provide low response times also during high load.

Deploying Docker Containers in Cloud Foundry Using a Private Registry

Aggregated on: 2020-06-08 13:40:02

In my previous blog, I explained how to create a simple NodeJS application, Dockerize it, and deploy it on IBM Cloud using the public DockerHub as a registry. This works fine if security is not an issue, but there are some additional advantages of using a private registry, such as the one in IBM Cloud. Not only does it protect your images, it also scans the images for security vulnerabilities.

How to Pass Parameters to ActionListener in ADF

Aggregated on:

In some cases, it is required to pass a value to ActionListener of ADF Button. The method that can be invoked by actionListeners has only one parameter of type ActionEvent. So I will explain how to pass parameter to that bean method however it contains only one paramater ActionEvent in method signature. I added button to my page as belowThe default signature of ActionLister is The workaround I used is adding an attribute tag from the JSF.Core inside the ADF Button So the code in the jsp page looks like thisNote "MyAttrName" is the name of paramater and "MyAttrValue" is the value of paramater.You can bind "MyAttrValue" to get any value from page definition.Now I will write the followign code to get paramatervalue from bean The variable "attrValue" holds the value of paramaters which is "MyAttrValue" in this example.

OAF : Bundled Exceptions

Aggregated on:

Bundled exceptions let you accumulate "peer" exceptions while proceeding with validation, and then display them as a set when you are done. These peer exceptions are grouped in a container exception called a bundled exception.To creat a bundled exception, you first must create a list to which you add exceptions as you encounter them:ArryList peerExceptions = new ArrayList();peerExceptions.add(new OAException(....));peerExceptions.add(new OAException(....));//Raise ExceptionsOAException.raiseBundledOAException(peerExceptions );Thanks

Display Calender in SQL and PLSQL

Aggregated on:

Today I will present how to display calendar specific month from oracle SQL or PLSQL like below imageSo I will present the solution to do thisFirst I will create Object type to handle week days( Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday) CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE WEEK_DAY AS OBJECT (SUN NUMBER (2), MON NUMBER (2), TUE NUMBER (2), WED NUMBER (2), THU NUMBER (2), FRI NUMBER (2), SAT NUMBER (2)); I will create collection to handle table of type WEEK_DAY because calendar view is table of week days. CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE WEEK_DAYS AS TABLE OF WEEK_DAY; I created GET_CLAENDAR function which takes two parameters (Month and year) and it reruns collection of WEEK_DAYS then you can use it to display calendar in SQL or PLSQL. create or replace FUNCTION GET_CLAENDAR (IN_MONTH INTEGER, IN_YEAR INTEGER) RETURN WEEK_DAYSIS LD$MONTH DATE; LN$INDEX PLS_INTEGER := 1; LT$WEEK_DAYS WEEK_DAYS; CURSOR LCUR$DAYS (IN_DATE DATE) IS SELECT SUN, MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT FROM ( SELECT TO_CHAR (DT + 1, 'iw') WEEK, MAX ( DECODE (TO_CHAR (DT, 'd'), '1', TO_CHAR (DT, 'fmdd'))) SUN, MAX ( DECODE (TO_CHAR (DT, 'd'), '2', TO_CHAR (DT, 'fmdd'))) MON, MAX ( DECODE (TO_CHAR (DT, 'd'), '3', TO_CHAR (DT, 'fmdd'))) TUE, MAX ( DECODE (TO_CHAR (DT, 'd'), '4', TO_CHAR (DT, 'fmdd'))) WED, MAX ( DECODE (TO_CHAR (DT, 'd'), '5', TO_CHAR (DT, 'fmdd'))) THU, MAX ( DECODE (TO_CHAR (DT, 'd'), '6', TO_CHAR (DT, 'fmdd'))) FRI, MAX ( DECODE (TO_CHAR (DT, 'd'), '7', TO_CHAR (DT, 'fmdd'))) SAT FROM ( SELECT IN_DATE - 1 + ROWNUM DT FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= LAST_DAY (IN_DATE) - IN_DATE + 1) GROUP BY TO_CHAR (DT + 1, 'iw')) ORDER BY TO_NUMBER (WEEK);BEGIN LT$WEEK_DAYS := WEEK_DAYS (); LD$MONTH := TO_DATE (IN_MONTH || '-' || IN_YEAR, 'MM-RRRR'); FOR LREC$DAYS IN LCUR$DAYS (LD$MONTH) LOOP LT$WEEK_DAYS.EXTEND; LT$WEEK_DAYS (LN$INDEX) := WEEK_DAY(LREC$DAYS.SUN, LREC$DAYS.MON, LREC$DAYS.TUE, LREC$DAYS.WED, LREC$DAYS.THU, LREC$DAYS.FRI, LREC$DAYS.SAT); LN$INDEX := LN$INDEX + 1; END LOOP; RETURN LT$WEEK_DAYS;END GET_CLAENDAR;Now after finishing creating needed objects let's test the function and see output.Test in Oracle SQLI will display calendar of June 2012 SELECT * FROM TABLE (GET_CLAENDAR (6, 2012)); Test in Oracle PLSQL DECLARE LT$WEEK_DAYS WEEK_DAYS; BEGIN LT$WEEK_DAYS := GET_CLAENDAR (6, 2012); DBMS_OUTPUT.

OAF : NewRowState of New Rows

Aggregated on:

By default, entity objects are created with the row state of STATUS_NEW, and BC4J adds them to its validation. In this case, any event that triggers a validation or database post sequence includes these entity objects.As per OAF Model Coding Standards, always circumvent this behavior by explicitly calling the setNewRowState(STATUS_INITIALIZED) method on its containing ViewRowImpl immediately after you insert the newly created row. This sets the state of any associated entity objects to STATUS_INITIALIZED.When you do this, BC4J removes the corresponding entity objects from the transaction and validation listener lists, so they will not be validated or posted to the database. As soon as the user makes a change (an attribute "setter" is called), the entity object's state changes to STATUS_NEW, and BC4J returns it to the validation/post lists. You can also call setNewRowState(STATUS_NEW) on the ViewRowImpl to change the state manually at any time. Let's trace some scenarios Scenario 1: Row has been modified in the UI before submit. Row State could be anything. The RowState becomes New. ValidateEntity will get called before processFormRequest().Scenario 2: Called row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_NEW) after inserting a new row. Row has not been modified from UI. ValidateEntity will not get called before processFormRequest() but will get called on commit and postChanges. Scenario 3: Called row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED) after inserting a new row. Row has not been modified from UI. ValidateEntity will not get called before processFormRequest() or on commit or postChanges.The Row will be ignored by the Framework and removed from the Cache.Even the mandatory fields in the Entity Object are not checked.Please make sure setting the row state (Row.setNewRowState) should be done after adding the row to VO as recommended in the OAF Standard.Thanks

OAF: Parameters

Aggregated on:

Oracle Application Framework (OAF) can pass parameters between pages and there are three types of parameters1- RequestThe scope of request parameters is finalized after HTTP request.Examples of Request ParametersURL ParametersInput Bean values (Message Text Input, Choice , Check etc) and Hidden Field Values (form values) in case of postEvent triggering bean and the action in case of post.Request values are accessed using OAPageContext.getParameter() method.2- TransactionTransaction has wider scope than Request which finalize with ending of database transaction.You can create transaction parameter using OAPageContext.putTransactionValue() , ((OADBTransactionImpl)getTransaction()).putValue() .Get transaction parameter values using OAPageContext.getTransactionValue() , ((OADBTransactionImpl)getTransaction()).getValue()3- SessionSession has wider scope than Transaction which his life time is until user log out from application.You can create Session parameter using OAPageContext.putSessionValue() , OAPageContext.putSessionValueDirect() . Get transaction Session values using OAPageContext.getSessionValue(); URL Parameters Encryption and EncodingWe can encrypt parameters when passing in URL in the following formats1- {@Attr} encodes. Changes Mahmoud Elsayed to Mahmoud %Elsayed 2- {!Attr} encrypts parameter value, Get parameter value in Controller using OAPageContext.getDecryptedParameter() 3- {$Attr} plain token substitution (no encoding or encryption), Get parameter value in Controller using OAPageContext.getParameter() Global parameters in URL1- {@@RETURN_TO_MENU} Used for E-Business Suite Personal Home Page. Same as OAWebBeanConstants.RETURN_TO_MENU_URL.2- {@@RETURN_TO_PORTAL} - Return the user to a launching Portal page. Same as OAWebBeanConstants.RETURN_TO_PORTAL_URL.Thanks

ADF & OAF ::: Missing IN or OUT parameter

Aggregated on:

If the bind variable required property wrongly defined into View Object, then it will cause following exception"java.sql.SQLException: Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 1 "To avoid this exception, you have to keep in mind when you are creating bind variable. 1- If you are directly passing the bind variable in view object main query then in this case bind variable require property should be selected. 2- If you are using bind variable in view criteria only then in this case the bind variable require property should not be selected. Thanks

Unlocking Business Insights By Analyzing API Payloads

Aggregated on:

APIs are now the de facto way businesses can break down corporate silos by enabling data sharing across both internal departments and external customers and partners. According to Cloud Elements, over 50% of B2B collaboration now happens over APIs and is continuing to grow. Your business can deploy APIs to deliver additional value to partners and customers by enabling them to connect your services programmatically to enable automation and data sharing. At the same time, your business can build new products and services by piecing together a collection of APIs from other companies. APIs are becoming the de facto digital supply chain for modern enterprises connecting vendors to customers. Because of this, the data flowing through your APIs is a good representation of the health of your business. Yet, there is a lack of tooling around leveraging this data.

Automated Acceptance Testing With Robot Framework

Aggregated on:

Robot Framework is an open source test automation framework. It is keyword driven and therefore very suitable to describe and automate acceptance tests. In this post, we will introduce Robot Framework and dive into the basic concepts. 1. Introduction Robot Framework knows its origin at Nokia Networks, but has been open sourced since 2008. It is a framework for creating automated acceptance tests. Test scripts written with Robot Framework are keyword driven, making them very readable and understandable for everyone (assuming best practices are being used). Whether you are creating Test Cases based on Test Designs or based on User Story acceptance criteria, a Robot Framework test script will be your Test Case documentation and automated test script in one. Besides that, it is written in plain text and therefore very suitable for adding them to your version control system (like Subversion or Git). Get rid of all those tests described in Excel Workbooks! After running your test script, a test report is automatically generated, which gives you your test evidence.

DevOps Your Skill: Integration Tests

Aggregated on:

Integration tests ensure that the components of an application is running properly at a level that includes the auxiliary infrastructure of the application, such as the voice user interface, the backend, and the integration with external systems. Integration tests evaluate the components of an application at a higher level than unit tests. Unit tests are used to test isolated software components, such as individual class methods. Integration tests check that two or more components of an application work together, and they generate an expected result, possibly including all the components necessary to fully process a request.

When and How to Use Dispose and Finalize in C#

Aggregated on:

Although the .NET framework frees managed memory and resources transparently, it's not as adept at freeing unmanaged resources; you have to help it out by implementing the Dispose and Finalize patterns in your code. When the .NET framework instantiates an object, it allocates memory for that object on the managed heap. The object remains on the heap until it's no longer referenced by any active code, at which point the memory it's using is "garbage," ready for memory deallocation by the .NET Garbage Collector (GC). Before the GC deallocates the memory, the framework calls the object's Finalize() method, but developers are responsible for calling the Dispose() method. The two methods are not equivalent. Even though both methods perform object clean-up, there are distinct differences between them. To design efficient .NET applications, it's essential that you have a proper understanding of both how the .NET framework cleans up objects and when and how to use the Finalize and Dispose methods. This article discusses both methods and provides code examples and tips on how and when to use them.
