Introduction If your users are encountering the above message in Engagement Cloud, then this article might be of interest! The error message is self explanatory - it happens when a user tries to save a record that has been updated by another user since they retrieved it. There are a few scenarios that can cause this, including: User A retrieves a record and starts to make changes, user B retrieves the same record, changes it and saves it, User A tries to save the record and...

Introduction This blog post details how you can develop a SaaS extension using VBCS and Helidon microservices and most importantly pass the user identity from the SaaS to the microservice so it can be used for data security etc. In a previous blog post of mine I commented that whilst VBCS can be used directly against Oracle SaaS, and it works very well BTW, it is often recommended that you build a backend service to manage the interaction between SaaS and PaaS. This can be...

When building a VBCS application you will almost always be connecting to a data source and one question you will almost certainly ask yourself is ” do I need a middle tier to access the data source, SaaS in our case has APIs, or can I, should I go directly?” The answer to the question depends on many factors: Does the SaaS Service expose a REST API? Does the REST API meet your needs? Does the REST API support data security so that if a user bypassed the webUI no harm would be...

In this second part of this blog series we explore some of the patterns we have seen in getting data into Oracle VBCS. Oracle VBCS strictly speaking consumes REST APIs and our Fusion SaaS also supports REST APIs but sometimes we either don’t have access to the REST APIs (e.g because they don’t exist, because they don’t exist or are performance constrained). Depending on the usecase at hand you can choose to either query the data directly or via some of the many bulk apis...

Part one starts with looking at some of the user interface, as developers we not always gifted with good UI skills but that can be sorted by using a design agency to tweak/build the CSS files. A good UI is incredibly important for many reasons, the speed a user can do their job and performance of the screen itself. Sometimes the backend systems performance is finite and we cant get around the fact that the queries will take say 5-6 seconds, but with smart screen design we can...
