Yes!! We are working on it!
Currently only Chrome and Safari from what I can see support websockets; but we are including this functionality. So; if you are using the AIR version of the Simdraz engine or a browser that supports websockets you won`t need to worry about AJAX request and polling even though AJAX is fast, it’s just not as fast as websockets and it also helps saves on bandwidth.
In theory less request & better performance 
This is a how-to post that I intend to refer back to from time to time. The goal is to create a simple Application Engine program into which we can drop some PeopleCode and see how it works. Assuming we don’t need any of the online pieces, this is much easier than going through all of the steps to create a page and register it so we can see it online.
In Application Designer, click Ctrl + N or use the File > New menu option. This will open the “New” dialog, and you can choose Application Engine program from the list.
You new program should look like this:
This step is very important. If you don’t disable the restart and your program crashes, you will have to go through a few extra steps before you can rerun it.
First, click on the properties button while your program is in focus (you can also use the File > Definition Properties menu):
This should bring up the Properties dialog. Then, go to the Advanced tab. Check the “Disable Restart” option.
First, click on the “Step 1″ step to select it. I usually click anywhere in the gray, and this should turn it black.
Next, click on the Add Action button, or you can use the Insert > Action menu.
Finally, change the type from SQL to PeopleCode.
At this point, you need to save before you can add PeopleCode. You can use Ctrl + S, click on the Save icon on the toolbar, or you can use the File > Save menu.
First, open the PeopleCode program by double clicking anywhere on the gray of the PeopleCode action. Or, you can right click on it and choose the “View PeopleCode” option.
Next, you will probably want to open a file to show output from your PeopleCode testing. You can use this PeopleCode:
Local File &log;
&log = GetFile("c:\temp\log.txt", "W", "A", %Filepath_Absolute);
Then, you can print to that file with the writeline() method. For now, we will just print Hello, World.
&log.WriteLine("Hello, World!");
Finally, you will probably want to close your file:
&log.Close();
Here is what it all looks like:
Make sure to save once you make these changes.
Again, after you have saved, go back to the main program window where you can see the Main section, Step 1, and your new PeopleCode action. Then, click the run icon.
In the dialog, Check the Output log to file and uncheck Run Minimized. The output log to file allows you to see what happened. Otherwise, the window will close before you see what happened. The run minimized isn’t a big deal, but if the program doesn’t run minimized you see it pop up and go away better. When the program goes away, you know it is done running.
Finally, when it is done, check the output. If you used the paths that I did your output should be in the c:\temp directory. You should have two files. The first, is the main output from the program. Check this to make sure the program ran to success:
The second is the log that your PeopleCode created. For now, it should just say, “Hello, World”.

Oracle Directory Services Components
Oracle Identity Federation Components
- OID - Oracle Internet Directory
- DIP - Oracle Directory Integration Platform
- OVD - Oracle Virtual Directory
Management Components
- OIF - Oracle Identity Federation
- EM - Enterprise Manager
- ODSM - Oracle Directory Service Manager
In order to use Oracle Identity Management 11gR1 with E-Business suite, you need OID and DIP products at a minimum. Oracle Identity Management 11gR1 doesn't contain Oracle Single Sign-on. You have the choice of either of the following two tools for for authentication: Oracle Access Manager 10gR3 is the preferred authentication solution going forward. However, if you have plans to integrate any other products like Oracle Portal, Forms, Reports or Discoverer with E-Business Suite, you must select the Oracle Single Sign-On 10gR3 option. These products have hard dependencies on Oracle Single Sign-On 10gR3 and cannot be authenticated directly by Oracle Access Manager (you can do so indirectly, but that's a topic for a future article).
If you have already integrated your E-Business Suite environment with Oracle Single Sign-On and Oracle Internet Director 10gR3, you can upgrade Oracle Internet Directory 10gR3 to Oracle Internet Directory 11gR1 (which is part of Oracle Identity Management 11gR1). Your existing integration remains intact after the upgrade.
This post covers the steps for Integration of Oracle Access Manager with Oracle Identity Manager.
The objective of this integration is to protect the Oracle Identity Manager User Administration Console using Oracle Access Manager.
The authentication scheme used in this Post is Form Based authentication. The other schemes such as Basic Over LDAP, Certificate and Custom are also possible but are not covered in this post.
In this case, OIM is deployed in Oracle Application Server and hence this post will cover only configurations required for OAS as part of this integration.
During the time of installation of Oracle Identity Manager, we would select Default Mode generally, wherein the OIM will handle the authentication by itself. The other option available is Single sign-on mode, wherein the OIM looks for a header variable passed by external authentication system (it is OAM in our case).
The architecture is as given below.
The integration flow is explained below:
Configuration changes:
<web-client> <Authentication>Default</Authentication> <AuthHeader>REMOTE_USER</AuthHeader> </web-client>
<web-client> <Authentication>SSO</Authentication> <AuthHeader>SSO_HEADER_NAME</AuthHeader> </web-client>
Test the integration:
Access the OIM console i.e., http://host:port/xlWebApp and you will notice the Form page is displayed for entering the credentials. Enter the login details and see if the logged in user shown on Right side is the actual user logged in.
Observations:
You can observe that the Logout link vanishes after OAM-OIM integration. This is because OIM will be expecting the Logout page specification from OAM as it is already integrated for SSO configuration. I will cover this part in the next post.

Oracle Service Repository - is UDDI version 3 (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration) compliant service registry to publishing, discovery and approval of SOA business Service.
.
Usecase for OSR -
i) Register/Publish SOA Business Service
ii) Discover/Search discoverable SOA business Service
iii) Approve published service so that it can be Discovered/Searched
.
Tasks/Functions/Modes available with OSR
a) Publication Registry : You could deploy OSR in publication mode where you publish, test and approve your SOA Business Services.
b) Discovery Registry : Once SOA business service is approved it is migrated to Discovery Registry where this business SOA services will be searched.
Note* You could have both Publication & Discovery Registry in to single registry server aka Standalone Service Registry.
.
OSR Key Points
1.Oracle Service Registry (OSR) 11g is consolidation of BEA’s AquaLogic Service Registry (ALSR) and Oracle Service Registry (OSR) 10g.
.
.
2. It is possible to run OSR with or withoutapplication server (weblogic server). When you deploy OSR without application server (weblogic) then OSR uses embedded Jetty Server
.
.
3. It is possible to deploy/configure OSR in following way
a) Standalone Registry Configuration - Both Publication and Discovery are configured as Single Service Repository. Same Registry will be used by both business SOA service publishers and business SOA service consumers.
b) Multi-Registry Configuration - This configuration has multiple Registry i.e. one or more Publication Registry and one Discovery Registry. Publication Registry is Service Registry where SOA Business Services will be published, tested and approved on one or more Service Registry (Publication Registry) on approval (automatic or manual) it is migrated to another registry (Discovery Registry) so that approved SOA business Services can be searched/enquired.
.
Note* If you have Multi-Registry Configuration deployment (with one Publication Registry and One Discovery Registry) then Discovery Registry should be installed first as Discovery Registry Server certificate is needed on Publication Service Registry.
4. To install Oracle Service Registry 11g run java -jar oracle-service-registry-11.1.1.jar
.
.
5. OSR Domain Template installation : This is new deployment feature with OSR 11g . When you use this deployment method, Installer produces all required file + .war file and “WebLogic Domain Template” . It then places these war file and weblogic domain template in Oracle Registry Home and you then run config.sh(script in weblogic server) to create domain and use domain template created earlier.
Note* When you use “WebLogic Domain Template” deployment model ensure to install OSR inside Oracle Middleware Homei.e. install OSR_HOME inside MW_HOME . For more information on various HOMEs in Oracle Fusion Middleware click here
OSR Domain Template deployment model option is available with WebLogic 11g and recommended deployment model.
6. OSR 11g is Supported On/With
a) Operating System - Linux, Solaris, Windows, AIX and HP-UX.
b) Database - Oracle (10g R2, 11g R1/R2), MS-SQL (2005, 2008), DB2 (9.5/9.7)
c) LDAP - OID (11.1.1.1.2), Sun One DS (6.3), MS-AD (2003 & 2008) - For external Authentication
d) Application Server- WebLogic Server (10.3.0, 10.3.1, 10.3.2, 10.3.3)

Many companies have been adopting Social Media and Enterprise 2.0... some of them because it sounds cool, some because they have money to burn, and others because they actually have a strategy. But eventually, the big boss will come around and ask, "What are we really getting out of all this time and energy? Let's calculate the ROI!"
At this point, you might want to brace yourself for disappointment...
I'm not saying this because most Social Media strategies I've seen are useless... just that they would be hard to justify if you break it down into black an white ROI. According to a recent report by Forrester research, the ROI calculations are fine, but they provide an incomplete picture.
For example, some online retailers found that if a product has online comments, that reduces the return-rate. Whether the comments are good or bad, it doesn't matter. People buy more of the good ones, and avoid the bad ones, which overall improves margins.
However, there are other things that are more difficult to quantify... like has you brand improved among your audien
If you only use metrics that measure hard current ROI, then you might be neglecting the value of reducing future negative ROI.
