Database Cloud Backup Cribsheet

Aggregated on:

A secure cloud-based file system that can provide offsite backup is better than no offsite backup, but is there a beter way? Are there more opportunities in offsite backup for improving disaster recovery, or providing a scalable archive?

Kubernetes Auditing

Aggregated on:

Auditing is an essential administrative input to understand the way a system is affected or being used. An audit trail is a log of the sequence of chronological events that occurred on a system. It helps administrators understand what event occurred, when did it take place and the trigger or the source of the event. It is also a compliance or legal requirement for many businesses and so an important part of IT systems. In this tutorial, we will look at how to do auditing in Kubernetes. Introduction A simple example of an audit log in the context of Kubernetes would be read as

Using Startup Command to Pass Command Line Arguments to Azure App Service for Linux

Aggregated on:

Azure App Service on Linux has several prefabricated Docker images that support applications written in languages such as .NET core, PHP, and Node.js. App Service also supports using your own Docker image to spin up a container for your application. A useful configuration feature of App Service on Linux is the Startup File configuration that you can set as part of configuring the runtime stack. The value that you specify for the configuration overrides the CMD instruction of the Dockerfile that creates the runtime of the application. If you are not aware of this configuration option, we will soon deploy an application that uses this configuration option soon, so keep reading. The Docker documentation states that if your Dockerfile has both CMD and ENTRYPOINT instructions, then CMD arguments are appended to the end of the command generated by the ENTRYPOINT instruction. A necessary condition for this feature to work is that you must use the exec form of the ENTRYPOINT instruction in your Dockerfile. In simple terms, assume that your Dockerfile has the following instructions.

OAF : Programatically Add Region to OA Page

Aggregated on:

Sometimes in OAF, you want to add a region to OA Page.For example i had a requirement to add employee summary region to another page.Employee Summary Page exists at MDS at this path "/oracle/apps/per/selfservice/common/webui/AsgSummaryRN".Application module that is used with this region is "oracle.apps.per.selfservice.common.server.SummaryAM" I wrote the following code to add this page to another page at controller of OA pageipublic void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean) { super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean); OATableLayoutBean empSummaryBeean = (OATableLayoutBean)this.createWebBean(pageContext, "/oracle/apps/per/selfservice/common/webui/AsgSummaryRN", "AsgSummaryRN", true); empSummaryBeean.setApplicationModuleDefinitionName("oracle.apps.per.selfservice.common.server.SummaryAM"); empSummaryBeean.setStandalone(true); webBean.addIndexedChild(0, empSummaryBeean);}Thanks

Consul Deployment Patterns - A Brief Overview

Aggregated on:

While delving into service mesh, key-value store, or a service discovery solution in cloud-native space, you would have definitely come across Consul. Consul, developed by HashiCorp is a multi-purpose solution which primarily provides the following features: Service discovery and Service Mesh features with Kubernetes Secure communication and observability between the services Automate load-balancing Key-Value store Consul watches This blog post briefly explains what are the deployment patterns for the Consul to watch configuration changes stored in the Key-Value store. It will explain how to discover and synchronize with the services running out of the Kubernetes cluster. We will also see how to enable Service Mesh feature with Consul. We broadly categorize Consul deployment patterns as In-cluster patterns (Consul deployed in Kubernetes cluster) and Hybrid pattern (Consul deployed outside the Kubernetes cluster).

Kubernetes Pod Security Policies

Aggregated on:

Kubernetes was not famous for its security features when it was first introduced as a container orchestration system, but the platform has evolved a lot over the years. Aside from being portable and infrastructure-agnostic, Kubernetes also offers a wide range of security features and tools that can help you harden the security of your apps and services. Pod security is one of the ways you can safeguard your entire cloud ecosystem. Kubernetes Pod Security Policies are basically a series of policies that govern how Pods interact with the host operating system and other resources within the cluster. It defines the conditions under which Pods are allowed to run and use cluster resources.

Implementing Multitenancy on Hyperledger Fabric Using Kubernetes

Aggregated on:

As a platform for enterprise blockchain solutions to achieve modularity, trust, and transparency, Hyperledger Fabric has gained immense traction due to its ability to provide a secure, permissioned, and private platform for business transactions. Designed specially to encourage cross-industry collaborations, Hyperledger Fabric enabled multiple execution of transactions to enhance system scalability. In Hyperledger Fabric 2.0, chain code script components are embedded within Docker containers which then have to be installed on each and every peer on the network. Docker swarms or Kubernetes(details below) are then used to deploy these components on the Fabric network.

OAF Overview

Aggregated on:

This post will explains some terminologies that is used in Oracle Application Framework (OAF).Entity Object - business component entity objects maps to database table or view that allow DML operations and that used to cache data result set and perform validation before post changes to database. Association Object - business component association objects implement the relationships between different entity objects and can mapped to database referential integrity constraint or non existing referential integrity constraint and this case constrain will be validated in OAF but not in database. View Object - business component view objects are used to display data in UI pages and it can be based on1- Entity Object or many entity objects and this case it supports DML operations.2- SQL queries : that's doesn't support DML operations3- Static : Programmer create structure of view object attributes and can add static data also.4- Programmatic : Programmer write code at runtime to get dynamic data of view object.View Link - Establishes a master/detail relationship between different view objects and can be in more depth master/detail/detail/....Validation View Object - A view object created exclusively for the purpose of performing light-weight SQL validation on behalf of entity objects or their experts.Application Module - An application module is a container for related BC4J objects. The AM is connected to the database, and is responsible for the commit and rollback of a transaction. Validation Application Module - An application module created exclusively for the purpose of grouping and providing transaction context to related validation view objects. Typically, a standalone entity object or the top-level entity object in a composition would have an associated validation application module.Root Application Module - Each pageLayout region in an OA Framework application is associated with a "root" application module which groups related services and establishes the transaction context.This transaction context can be shared by multiple pages if they all reference the same root application module, and instruct the framework to retain this application module (not return it to the pool) when navigating from page to page within the transaction task.Entity Expert - A special singleton class registered with an entity object (EO) that performs operations on behalf of the EO.Controller - The controller is the java code in charge of loading a page when we call it. It is also in charge of handling an event on a page, like a click on a button, or the call of a List Of Values. Attribute Set - Bundles of region or item properties that can be reused either as is or with modifications. For example, all buttons sharing the same attribute set would have the same label and Alt text. Thanks

ESB Logging (Part 1)

Aggregated on:

Introduction Logging is a necessary cross-cutting concern in any software system, and specifically also for an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB).This article is the first of a two: in this one (part 1) I am going discuss what functionality an ESB logging system should have, while in the second article (part 2) I will introduce some techniques to implement this functionality. Note on terminology: in these articles I am going use the somewhat older terms of ESB Service Component and ESB Service Component Endpoint, to generically refer to ESB components and their exposed endpoint, respectively, regardless of technology, communication protocol, and exchange pattern. So the discussion is equally applicable to ESB components that expose REST API, a SOAP Web Service, a Websocket, or are triggered via a queuing mechanism.

ADF : Working with ViewCriteria

Aggregated on:

View Criteria's are additional where clause added at runtime to base View Object Query. Programmer can create view criteria declaratively or programatically. 1. Create View Criteria Declaratively Open View Object in Edit and in "Query" tab you can click "+" add pencil to create new view criteria 2. Control View Criteria Programatically. a- Get View Criteria from View Criteria manager within View Object and then apply it ViewCriteria applyVC = myViewObject.getViewCriteria("MyViewCriteriaName");myViewObject.applyViewCriteria(applyVC);myViewObject.executeQuery();b- Applying Multiple view Criteria's When multiple view criteria's are applied to the view object, the view criterias gets appended or replaced depending upon the way you use applyViewCriteria APIReplacing Existing view criteria's : myViewObject.applyViewCriteria(applyVC) ormyViewObject.applyViewCriteria(applyVC,false)will erase all previously applied view criterias and apply the current view criteria only.Appending to the Existing view criteria:myViewObject.applyViewCriteria(applyVC, true) Will append this view criteria to the existing view criteria(s) which is applied already.c- Unapplying && Removing View Criteriavo.removeApplyViewCriteriaName()Unapply the view criteria if it is applied. The view criteria will still remain in View Criteria Manager (which means you can't apply this view criteria whenever you require in the future).vo.removeViewCriteria() Removes the view criteria from View Criteria Manager. If it is applied it is first unapplied and then removed. (which means you cant apply this View Criteria to the view object next time in the future.).For example the below code returns null after removeViewCriteria has been applied.ViewCriteria applyVC = myViewObject.getViewCriteria("MyViewCriteriaName")vo.clearViewCriterias() Unapplies and removes all view criteria, both applied and unapplied from View Criteria Manager. Which means that you can't apply any View Criteria against View Object.For example the below code returns null after clearViewCriterias() has been applied.ViewCriteria applyVC = myViewObject.getViewCriteria("MyViewCriteriaName")myViewObject.applyViewCriteria(null) The above statement unapplies all existing View Criterias and not remove it.myViewObject.setNamedWhereClauseParam("MyParameter", "myValue)The above statement set Named Parameter Value. It set the value of "MyParameter" to "myValue".I post in previous post about ADF : Change View Criteria Columns at Runtime Thanks

Random Numbers in Java

Aggregated on:

Previously I posted about Generate Random Passwords in Oracle that was using PLSQL.Today I will post about java randoms.Java provides two classes to generate random numbers: Random and SecureRandom.Random is faster than SecureRandom, but it uses a 48 bits seeds which is not enough for the long type.Moreover, it is not 'random enough' for cryptography. SecureRandom, is slower than Random, but can be used for cryptography.The following code example shows how to generate a random number within a range for int, long, float and double.Note rangeStart , rangeEnd is range period of generated numbers . int rangeStart = 50; int rangeEnd = 100; SecureRandom secRandom = new SecureRandom(); int inclusive = rangeEnd - rangeStart + 1; int exclusive = rangeEnd - rangeStart; int randomIntInclusive = secRandom.nextInt(inclusive) + rangeStart; int randomIntExclusive = secRandom.nextInt(exclusive) + rangeStart; System.out.println("randomIntInclusive : " + randomIntInclusive); System.out.println("randomIntExclusive : " + randomIntExclusive); long randomLongInclusive = (secRandom.nextLong() % inclusive) + rangeStart; long randomLongExclusive = (secRandom.nextLong() % exclusive) + rangeStart; System.out.println("randomLongInclusive : " + randomLongInclusive); System.out.println("randomLongExclusive : " + randomLongExclusive); float randomFloat = (secRandom.nextFloat() * exclusive) + rangeStart; System.out.println("randomFloat : " + randomFloat); double randomDouble = (secRandom.nextDouble() * exclusive) + rangeStart; System.out.println("randomDouble : " + randomDouble);The output will berandomIntInclusive : 60randomIntExclusive : 73randomLongInclusive : 11randomLongExclusive : 63randomFloat : 65.19333randomDouble : 84.14220368726888Thanks

Close Resources in Java

Aggregated on:

In java when using any resources like Files, Streams, Database Connection and DataSets etc .... , you must close resources at end of processing at your code.For Example : Streams File f = new File("myFile.txt"); FileOutputStream fos = null; try { fos = new FileOutputStream(f); // Do something... } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) { // Display error message } finally { // Closing resource if (fos != null) { try { fos.close(); } catch (IOException ex) { //Here , Hide Exception } } }All previous code in Blue color are used to close resources.So to save time and make code more readability you can use IOUtils Appache packages to close resources quietly finally{ IOUtils.closeQuietly(fos); }For Example : Database Statement finally{ DBTransaction txn = this.getDBTransaction(); String sqlStmt = "Begin plsqlCode; END;"; CallableStatement callStmt = txn.createCallableStatement(sqlStmt, DBTransaction.DEFAULT); try { //Write your code here to work with CallableStatement } catch (SQLException e) { //Handle SQL Exception }finally { // Closing resource if (callStmt != null) { try { callStmt .close(); } catch (SQLException ex) { //Here , Hide Exception } } }All previous code in Blue color are used to close resources.So to save time and make code more readability you can use DBUtils Appache packages to close resources quietly finally{ DbUtils.closeQuietly(callStmt ); }Thanks

View Test Results in Grafana - Part 1

Aggregated on:

A good test framework should have a proper reporting mechanism to view and analyze test results. The results should also be sharable. There are many ways to achieve them like test-reports, test execution logs, external plugins. In this article and the next article, we are going to see about a different approach in test reporting. Ever thought of uploading the results into database and view them in a graphical manner in Grafana? Let's see how to achieve this in this series. Grafana Grafana is an open-source tool for data-analytics, view data-metrics, and monitoring apps. Data sources for Grafana can be variety of DataBases like MySQL, Postgres, InfluxDB, Graphite, etc. We are going to use InfluxDB as a data source for our application.

It's a problem when you want to automate the execution of your server...To avoid this problem all you need to do is creating a file named "boot.properties" and insert into the two following lines :username=<yourUserName>password=<yourPassword>this file must be placed in each server security folder : $WLS_HOME/user_projects/domains/<domainName/servers/<serverName>/securityThen, start server, it shouldn't ask you for anythin, then reopen your boot.properties file, password and username should be automatically encrypted !Thanks
