Second post on GoldenGate 23c - let’s test it and synchronize 2 JD Edwards Trial instances

In June, the French JDE User Group asked me to deliver a hands-on workshop so that the participants could discover and test deploying JD Edwards on OCI.

Introduction Oracle released OCI Application Performance Monitoring last month, as part of the Observability and Management platform. An APM solution was already there in OCI (and is still there), as part of the Oracle Management Cloud Platform - OMC so the first question we could have is : why having 2 solutions for the same objective ?

Note : I created this is a post almost 2 years ago but never published it here. Screenshots are not from the latest Orchestrator Studio but the methodology is the same. I’ll start this new year with a Technical Post : we had yesterday the first 2018 Technical Task Force webinar; the topic was “Orchestrator and AIS Server”.

You have configured your AIS Server with https, created orchestrations as “micro-services” ready to be consumed by your mobile application, Oracle JET application, … and you are now wondering about authentication ? With the latest Tools releases you now have multiple options for this: Basic authentication, username/password and PS Token authentication are fairly easy to use and I won’t talk about it in this post.

In the not so long past it was possible to customize JD Edwards background colors per environment but you had to update manually the css file to do so. Now with Tools 9.2.4, it is a standard feature and as easy as creating a UDC record ! 1. Open UDC and create a new record for your environment:

I started using Oracle Always Free Cloud Services as soon as Oracle released them in September (in fact, even a few hours before Larry’s announcement during his keynote at OpenWorld). It gave me the possibility to re-architecture and expand my dev/lab environments, by taking advantage of those Always Free services:

The last Orchestrator 7.0.0 brings real enhancements for JD Edwards automation and integration. I’ve been working a lot with this version in the past few months, in France, UK and Ireland, during our Citizen Developer/Orchestrator workshops sessions and I must say I really enjoy this latest version which is now ready to be used intensively in Production environments:

This post starts a serie of posts describing how we could use Orchestrator to automatically create JD Edwards users (and security) using the Orchestrator. We’ll start from an Excel spreadsheet stored in a Sharepoint portal and automatically: read the Excel spreadsheet create the users in our internal LDAP (we are using OID but it could work with all LDAP) create the users, their address books and role relationships records in JD Edwards send an email to each end user including the JD Edwards link and credentials I designed this orchestration to manage the users in our training environment for our Citizen Developer Courses and it now saves me lots of time and effort to manage new users : I only enter the students information in the Excel file and they receive automatically an email with all the information they need (URL, credentials) just before we start the course !

Want to engage you JD Edwards using Live Chat ? This is possible very easily using Live Chat solutions like Crisp !
