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...

Like most children, when I was five years old I would sometimes complain to my father "that's not fair!". My brothers had more of something than I or one of any number of clear cut injustices or inequities a five year old faces. My father's usual response would be "life isn't fair". A straight, low key, matter of fact response. Frustrating as it may be to a five year old, the literal meaning of the response sets the framework for a deeper meaning of fairness. The narrower the...

Introduction EXTRACT JSON files Since end of 2018 SaaS Cloud provides a new feature to track the status of a data extraction run in BI Cloud Connector (BICC). Every single run to extract data or keys will produce a JSON file with log information that can be used for monitoring purposes. The naming style per file looks like shown below: EXTRACT_STATUS_DATA_SCHEDULE_<Schedule ID>_REQUEST_<Request ID>.JSON BICC Extract log file for VO data if been chosen in run definition...

Problem Statement Implement data security in Engagement Cloud for users who do not exist in Engagement Cloud Introduction Consider a use case where you want to create a VBCS portal for end users to submit loan applications or service requests which are stored in Engagement Cloud. You need to ensure data security such that the end users can create, update or view only their own data. Engagement Cloud offers strict data security at the user level. But you can potentially...

Performance Tips In this last blog post we explore one of the most important topics of any project which is performance. It is also worth highlighting that performance is an iterative process where the first data point you must define is the performance goal. Once you have the performance goal defined you can then start to benchmark your performance baseline (ie what its like at this point in time), After this you can proceed to tweak your code, then benchmark the result at...

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...
