Goodbye WordPress – Welcome JBake!
Posted by Torsten Kleiber in Uncategorized on September 4, 2020
This is my last post here on WordPress.
I have not blogged since long time – and I want to change this again the future.
What prevented me from doing this was not the writing itself. But most of my posts are very technical with a lot of source code. And lot of this is very fast outdated and have to be updated.
And exactly there is my problem: I have to test my code and than I have to change the blog and the code in my blog.
For some time now I try to follow the doc-as-code approach and as a consequence to use Asciidoctor. With this it is possible to write the blog in simple text notation and include the code via simple directives.
So I have searched for a Java based, open source, static site/blog generator and found JBake. Every time I have to make change to source code, a blog entry or the look and feel of my new website, I commit this change and my Jenkins pipeline build and deploy my website – exactly as I try to develop!
Consequently I have created my own website “As Much As Possible As Code”. Please follow me for new content there!
Agile Oracle Database Modeling and Development (#AgileOracleDatabase) – I’m a speaker at #DOAG2019
Posted by Torsten Kleiber in Conferences, Deploying, Development, Quality Assurances on November 18, 2019
We try to be agile in developing and merging our features into branches when they are ready for use.
Test Driven Development is on everyone’s lips with Java and other languages.
Whether we develop ADF or JET or Spring, we try to apply these techniques in many places.
But what is the real basis of most of our applications?
This is the Oracle database with its data model and programming language PL/SQL!
Again and again we hear that merging data model scripts and PL/SQL programs is not practicable.
But how are we supposed to develop our frontend according to these techniques, if we don’t start with it in the backend?
In the lecture and the demo’s I will show you how you can further develop your data model and your programs in the database agile and test driven from requirement till refactoring.
You can see how tools like Git, Liquibase, utPLSQL and Jenkins work together.
If you speak german and you are interested in some of this, you should come and attend my presentation at DOAG 2019 Nuremberg on Wednesday, Nov. 20, 17:00 in room Istanbul.
“Regulatorics: Offside is when the referee whistles” – I’m a speaker at #DOAG2018
Posted by Torsten Kleiber in Conferences, Configuration, Deploying, Development, Quality Assurances on July 17, 2018
Today my presentation is confirmed: “Regulatorics: Offside is when the referee whistles”. Maybe the German title will be better understood: “Regulatorik: Abseits ist, wenn der Schiedsrichter pfeift”
The regulatory system has more and more influence on our software development.
Regulatory authorities, external and internal Auditors are increasingly examining our IT and not longer only our business processes and balance sheets.
Some of them have better trained IT experts as we can find on the free market.
General standards such as ISO/IEC 2700X but also banking-specific standards such as BAIT and MaRisk now pose challenges that generally only large software manufacturers know.
Approximately 40 % of our projects are now regulatory-driven.
Therefore, we are currently redefining our development process in order to implement the following requirements, among others
– Unchangeability of the tested artefacts after the test
– Functional segregation
– Detection of accidental changes or intentional manipulations of the application
The lecture shows the vision of such a safe process. It shows the current status of implementation in SOA and ADF development, for example
– Migration of version management to GIT in Atlassian BitBucket
– Application and selection criteria for a branching model
– Mandatory code reviews in Atlassian BitBucket
– Build and Deployment Pipelines in Jenkins
– Automatic documentation in JIRA Issue via Bitbucket and Jenkins.
Maybe you too can minimize the additional work and continue to work agile to meet such requirements.
If you speak german and you are interested in some of this, you should come and attend DOAG 2018.
#DOAG2017 wrap up
Posted by Torsten Kleiber in Conferences, Deploying, Development, Quality Assurances on December 1, 2017
Another DOAG is over and here are my summary.
Day 1
As my presentation is planned for noon I arrived this year on the evening before, so I could attend the early sessions on 8:30.
Sten Vesterli: APEX, ADF, or ABCS? A real-life application built in 3 tools
He compares the development of a real application in APEX, ADF and ABCS. He don’t believe that ABCS is usable from end users and shows interesting problems with the date pickers in APEX and ADF.
Welcome by DOAG and Oracle
Stefan Kinnen from DOAG welcomes the attendees and gives an short overview for the conference. The part of the Kenneth Johansen from Oracle was very dry in the contrast.
Keynote: Neil Sholay – Tracking the Inevitable (How to plan for likely and disruptive business scenarios.)
Quite the reverse the colleague of Kenneth Johansen. He present interesting views about the ongoing disruption in every business and how to prepare for this. Unfortunately the presentation is not available for download.
Markus Lohn: Road to the (Oracle) Cloud
The next title was pure understatement. As I know Markus expanded his talk to the details of a complex SOA & ESB migration report, which most of the attendees sure does not expect. I think at least my boss not :-). I left this a little earlier as now I had to go to stage.
Torsten Kleiber: PL/SQL: Therefore test automation for those who bind themselves forever!
After several presentations about ADF and the related development life cycle I decided this year to speak about the selection process of a PL/SQL testing tool. Additional I promised to do some of this last year. The room was packed with round about 100 people, which I unfortunately never reached with ADF in the past. Despite some technical problems when starting and in the demo’s all went fine and I will thank again all my attendees. You find my presentation additional here:
Because of some discussion with my attendees and lunch I skipped the next slot.
Sabine Heimsath, Jan Karremans: #DBADev Like dog and cat? It doesn’t have to be!
This was a “lightweight” simulated battle between DBA and > as DB developers. I little bit oversimplified, but ok, unfortunately I seen none of our DBA’s in the audience.
Alexander Weber: Cloud service – heaven and hell (application and data away)
This was report> from a real world oracle database cloud customer with an APEX app. Maybe I will remind me to look at his experience, when we will ever go the cloud.
Bryn Llewellyn: Ten Rules for Doing a PL/SQL Performance Experiment
Bryn shows how to best analyze and broke down a performance problem and the idea’s are often not restricted to PL/SQL. Lession learned “Don’t use SET TIMING ON”, as this includes additional network roundtrips.
Elmar Juergens: The sow does not get fat from weighing: PL/SQL quality analysis
I see already a similar presentation from Elmar Juergens at Javaland 2017. Same message this time. Additional he recommend to measure at first only the changed source code via a diffing algorithm to only identifying the changed lines. Most tools can’t this. Will have a look at his own tool sometime. Additional our bosses want Elmar Juergens for a presentation for our developers. Will look if this will change their minds an they will look a least a bit more at the existing measured violation.
Day 2
Markus Klenke: Better, more beautiful, more modern: barely used beads in ADF
Markus likes ADF and show this. Fine that he is at our company site to help us with this.
Daniel Hillinger, Tobias Deml: Battle: Database Virtualization
First at the beginning the decision was made, who of the both is pro and who is contra. Nice format to find the arguments for this. I’ve learned that all databases in the same virtualization farm has to be the same license and options, if you want not to pay to much. Additional it’s not usual to begin if you have fewer than 100 database instances.
Thorsten Wussow: Let the orchestra play - Docker orchestration and visualization
Unfortunately, my expectations were disappointed here because most demos didn’t work. Not a good start to use the technology.
Dominic Weiser: Continuous integration in database development
This was another nice database CI presentation which contains utPLSQL, and the presenter had enough time to show the CI part on Jenkins too. Similar you can find in my upload too, but I had enough time in my talk to present.
Duncan Mills: Web Components, the Oracle Way
Duncan describes how to define and use own components in Oracle Jet as professional as ever. Unfortunatly I see that he has moved from ADF product management to JET architecture team now.
Michael Schulze: Tools for diagnosing Weblogic (FMW) performance problems
A surprice for me – lot of new tools and information for my toolchain.
Markus Lohn: Quo Vadis Agile Software Development
Again Markus on the stage. He shows his Agile project experiences on several customers and I’m not sure if he mentioned us or not.
Bryn Llewellyn: Guarding your Data Behind a Hard Shell PL/SQL API the Detail
Bryn shows here a security model for how accessing the data via an secure API which contains of 4 schema layers: data, code, implementation, API. Unfortunatly this is not really good handled by some of Oracle own development frameworks like ADF despite you develop only on the rest API on top. But definitely give it a try.
Roland Dürre, Knud Johannsen, Christian Botta: Creative communication
The paintings was good but the rest was very esoteric presentation of philosophic messages. I think I was to inspired by the vita of mr. Botta when selected this slot, this was what I had expected.
Before the evening keynote Ulrike Schwinn was awarded, congratulations! Over my career I heard a lot of presentations from her, which was impressive, none where I’m not learned something new.
Keynote – Karl-Heinz Land: Digital Darwinism: The Silent Attack on your Business Model and Brand
Good and provocative but unfortunately in my opinion also with some mistakes. The law of moore does not apply anymore, and as this was his main explanation, why all will be automated in the near future. Yes automation will happen, but only where a real business case is. If you see that over 50% of internet traffic is eaten by video streaming already, than I think this will hamper this process. Blockchain is not an oprating system, it is an distributed secure database. But it comes with cost, which actually is not paid, for example: A Bitcoin transaction consumes more electricity than a one-person household per month. And the verification of security need to many time. This has to be solved or Blockchain will only be used productive in edge case. Generally I’m more a fan of WildDueck.
ADF Community Meeting
Unfortunately this was greatest disappointment of the whole DOAG conference for me. Once again we discussed several things
- ADF is not visible from Oracle because not actually marketed
- Errors in JDeveloper: the IDE for ADF and lack of support for this
- Provide an Virtual Machine for ADF development. This is ok for trying out, but will not supported in restricted environment at customers as at my company – a bank. At least this should not be an replacement of support for JDeveloper
- Should we open the community to other technologies like SOA, JET, ABCS an so on. My opinion: definitely no, as this is the final dead of ADF in the community.
- We see that some of the important product managers move to JET and does not support us anymore.
In this atmosphere this year no common dinner happens after the meeting.
After that I spent the time with some colleagues at the evening party. This year I see early clearing the rooms of the NCC. I don’t know if the starting Scope alliance party was the cause, but maybe they will do this next year on the first day instead?
Day 3
Hans Eichenberger: DBaaS with APEX 5.1 Frontend and Oracle Multitenant Option
Will repeat my tweet here: The developer dreams come true – getting an inhouse sandbox database in minutes from the DBA! Whoops – unfortunately not my company!
Adam Lukaszewski: Boost your Forms Development with GIT and Forms API Master
At the moment I define a future proof build and deployment process at my company for the loan platform. Part of this is security and mandatory review. So the presented Forms API Master tool is the perfect tool for handling the review and merge process of branches for our legacy Forms and Reports development. Will look how to implement this in Atlassian BitBucket.
Keynote – Robert Schröder: The Difference between Errors and Failures – Experiences in Aviation
Key message are for me: Accept that failures happen, learn from failures and change your processes accordingly. Define a clear language for your business.
Marcus Hammer: Die Hürden großer ADF-Anwendungen
Not really new for us, but as we speak a lot with other colleagues from his company the solutions are mostly known for us – and for the whole ADF community in Germany. Interesting is the decision to implement batch processing in Java too, seems that it is problematic to get PL/SQL staff right now. I’m not understanding the decision to write an own framework for database deployment, but as this was not his own topic, he could not answer why Liquibase or Flyway does not fulfill their requirements.
Frank Munz: WebLogic 12c and Java Cloud Service
I missed Franks sessions last years, but often look at his slides in the web. This was a very good entry in differentiating the different Oracle Cloud Servives, which I could use for Java Develoment. Oracle Java Cloud Service is only one of it and should correctly named Oracle WebLogic Cloud Service. Great another naming dropping: Application Container Cloud should better by named as Language as a Service. Look at the slides to get the whole picture.
Alex Nuijten: Regular Expressions: Say What?
The best example that you can learn ever something new from a good presenter, despite you think you know all about a topic and you have already read the presentation before. For an example: a regular expression looks already for the longest possible match, which could be the whole string instead of the searched pattern. Interesting too the connect by regexp_count for splitting a string into rows. And look at the standard patterns in dbms_redact before you write your own, if it is not there write it in your own package for reuse.
Frank Munz: Microservices Runtimes
The second presentation of Frank I attend compares the actual available Runtimes on the market. But special interesting was the intro into micro services: are you sure you need this and do you know, what nobody tells you about latency and so on? Or do you know that accessing another micro service can need 100000 times more than accessing a functionality in the same monolith?
Conclusion
Again this year I attend colorful bouquet of presentations and again it pay’s off to look at the whole conference program and some abstracts and presentations before to minimize disappointments.
Generally I attend to few development sessions, maybe because I use other technologies or know already the presented topic. But my feeling is that are really fewer development presentations.
Interesting is that finally many Development, Deployment, QA, TDD and CI/CD technologies used in other development languages find it’s way into classic Oracle development technologies like Oracle PL/SQL, Forms and Reports.
For the event organization I see a little degradation of service this year, for example the quality of the food or the cleaning of toilets and rooms. And a no go: Missing water for presenters in some rooms!
That’s it!
Provide access to #WebLogic DMS Spy Servlet for readonly users
Posted by Torsten Kleiber in Configuration, Installation on August 30, 2017
For security reasons and to prevent the configuration drift it is recommendable to use read only for analyzing problems.
For read only access of configuration and logs WebLogic provides out of the box the group Monitors. Unfortunately you cannot access DMS Spy Servlet with this group, which is useful for analyse runtime values of the server. Only users which belongs to the Administrators group and therefore have full access can access DMS Spy Servlet and this is not configurable in WebLogic by default.
Here you can see how to add groups on linux to the DMS Spy Servlet deployment:
pushd $ORACLE_HOME/oracle_common/modules/oracle.dms cp dms.war dms.war.`date +%y.%m.%d.%H:%M` unzip dms.war WEB-INF/weblogic.xml sed -i '/Monitors/d' WEB-INF/weblogic.xml sed -i '/^ <principal-name>Administrators<\/principal-name>$/a\ <principal-name>Monitors<\/principal-name>' WEB-INF/weblogic.xml zip dms.war WEB-INF/weblogic.xml rm -r WEB-INF popd
Following is the responsible snippet in weblogic.xml before:
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>Admin</role-name>
<principal-name>Administrators</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
and after modification:
<security-role-assignment>
<role-name>Admin</role-name>
<principal-name>Administrators</principal-name>
<principal-name>Monitors</principal-name>
</security-role-assignment>
After this modification you have to restart the WebLogic Server.
That’s it!
“#PL/SQL: Therefore, whoever binds forever: automate your tests” – I’m a speaker at #DOAG2017
Posted by Torsten Kleiber in Deploying, Development, Quality Assurances on July 18, 2017
Today my presentation is confirmed: “Therefore, whoever binds forever: automate your tests”. Maybe the German title will be the better understood: “PL/SQL: Drum test-automatisiere, wer sich sich ewig bindet!”
I will speak over my experiences with following
- several PL/SQL testing tools like at least
- utPLSQL
- Oracle SQL Developer
- maybe RSpec with ruby-plsql
- I will give you a demo of this tools and compare their capabilities for
- architecture
- branching
- continuous integration
- code coverage
If you speak german and you are interested in some of this, you should come and attend DOAG 2017.
#DEVCAMP17 wrap up
Posted by Torsten Kleiber in Conferences, Development, Quality Assurances on February 9, 2017
Yesterday I attend the annual barcamp DEVCAMP of the DOAG development community. There are mostly developers with SQL, PL/SQL, Forms & Reports, ADF, JET background and some Java, Javascript and APEX developers too. And not to forget: 1 dba and some managers. Here are my summary.
I arrived on evening before just in time for the life cooking event and later at the bar to meet lot of the people I already know and some new too.
The morning begins with a short introduction to the format of a barcamp.
As warm up Jens Schauder starts with an talk about clean code. He begins to compare what the lack of hygiene for Middle Ages mean and the statement that we are in the IT Middle ages. In extreme cases not tested and not understandable software can kills people! So the task for every day is “write an test” and refactor the code to clean code.
Then the barcamp planning starts. In short time three slots are filled up and the really barcamp starts.
Influenced by the starting talk next there was a session related to clean code and how to implement the related processes. You should teach a little bit of the theory behind it. It is essential to decide all rules with the whole team and review the continuous use of it. If the rules are not followed, then first you should ask why this happens and listen for the reasons. Jens Schauder recommends here these books. Maybe you have to adjust the rules to convince all developers. But in extreme cases of deny any of the decided rules you should escalate and delegate this to the responsible manager.
Next session was about how to test heterogeneous applications, especially SQL, PL/SQL and Forms but others too. I mentioned here two possible strategies, which both has it’s tradeoffs:
- End to end testing with expensive Tools, which provides all the required technology plugins, eg.
- Technology testing and mocking the behavior of interfaces to other technologies, you have to learn all off this and provide the infrastructure for it.
- SQL/PLSQL:
- Repository based: Quest Code Tester for Oracle (Option for TOAD or SQL Navigator), Oracle SQL Developer
- PL/SQL based: utPLSQL with Frontends Ounit or Jutex
- Other: DbFit, DbUnit, ruby-plsql-spec
- Forms
- SQL/PLSQL:
I noticed here that testing is mainly seen as to check the contract between developer and customer, sometimes useful for regression test but seldom as required for changing or refactoring the code. The participants seems to be overwhelmed by the amount of tools and effort to do automatic testing. Yes – there is a lot to do in advance, which pays off later.
In the next break I get a shortcut for actual requirement for forms change to implement some kind of SSO without additional servers. I get some nice hints and have now to check, if one of this is successful. This are the advantages of networking here.
The we discussed about Alternatives to Oracle Reports. Seems that it depends on your requirements, which tool to choose. Please do an value analysis here. So if you need pixel exact layout or want not pay much money Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher will not your friend. If you search for an active community maybe you should not choose Eclipse BIRT or at least use the commercial version from Actuate. But both of these and Jasper Reports are used from present participants. Further alternatives seem to be SAP Chrystal Reports and Pentaho. And don’t forget to test exotic features like widows and orphans!
After a coffee break we discussed the future of Oracle ADF. The punchline here was: ADF is not dead, but JDeveloper is very buggy. None of the participants does really miss any bit feature, but most struggles with the IDE. It seems, that the problems are bigger, when you work on windows. Maybe some of the product managers should be forced to worked again with windows to see our problems. I have articulated there 2 problems with the ADF community. I we try to raise the acceptance we should not try to extend the focus of the activities to alternative technologies as MAF or JET. Second we should not self call ADF into question on every conference, we should leave this part to the fans of other technologies.
The last session again turns around automatic testing of PL/SQL, some repeating to the described session above.
In closing session most of the participants said, that they want to come back next year. Maybe it is better to put some fixed sessions or workshops, as this is easier to describe to the bosses as “I will go this event, but it is not clear, what will happens there.”
Conclusion
I have learned not so much new things this year, but I attend these time more the known to me technologies. But I get the confirmation, that most of the things we do or plan do to are on the right track.
Unfortunately I observed some people in the sessions, which comes only to search for finding confirmations to reject for itself, what at least the initiator of the topic want to do.

Virtual Development Server: Provide Docker images in docker registry for Oracle via Jenkins
Posted by Torsten Kleiber in Configuration, Development, Installation on December 7, 2016
This is a follow up to earlier Virtual Development Server: Provide Docker images in docker registry for Oracle XE Database and others.
We now try to automated build of all needed images as soon as Oracle GitHub Sources changed or we need to build our Vagrant VirtualBox again from scratch.
After we have already installed Jenkins we now install first some needed plugins.
-
- We select explicit plugins at Jenkins Configuration:
-
- Pipeline and Pipeline Stage View
-
- Git
-
- SSH Slaves
-
- and wait for the install process
-
- Later we add Blue Ocean Beta via “Manage Jenkins” -> “Manage Plugins” .
-
- After all is installed we restart Jenkins.
After this we create our Jenkins pipeline via “New Item”.
-
- We give it a name and select pipeline.
-
- As we do not own the git repository and cannot create a hook there, we create a simple scm poll schedule.
-
- Then we add our pipeline script.
Here is the script for the moment, later after we have it successfully tested and implemented all builds of images we need, we will put it in it’s own git repository and call it from there. The script is written in Pipeline Model Definition, a config-like syntax for defining Pipelines.
pipeline {
agent label:'localhost_vagrant'
stages {
// Get the actual docker images sourcse from oracle git account
stage('Get Sources') {
steps {
git url: 'https://github.com/oracle/docker-images.git'

sh 'docker rmi --force localhost:5000/oracle/serverjre:8'
sh 'docker rmi --force oracle/serverjre:8'

}
}
}
We can wait now the 15 min poll time or start the job manually.

- In the standard view you can see several information about the pipeline stages. Click on “Open Blue Ocean” now.
-
- You see now an overview of last runs. Click now on the latest on the top.
-
- Here you see at run-time a nice animation what’s actually going on and the according logs. For our pipeline you see here parallel steps in the run.
After an “vagrant halt / vagrant up” you can control in your browser, that the created images are persistent in the local docker registry:

Virtual Development Server: Install Jenkins for Continuos Integration / Delivery / Deployment
Posted by Torsten Kleiber in Conferences, Development, Installation on November 25, 2016
For automation of all of my processes I need Jenkins in my development server.
First I had installed Jenkins as Docker container via Vagrant Docker provider. But with this architecture it was very complicated to create docker images and run Docker containers on the Docker host, in this case my Vagrant Virtualbox.
So for simplification I have decided to install Jenkins with the provisioning of the Vagrant Virtualbox via a shell provider in my Vagrantfile:
... # persistant storage for jenkins config.vm.synced_folder "C:\\shared\\virtual_storage\\jenkins_home", "/var/lib/jenkins", type: "nfs", owner: 994, group: 992, create: true ... # install jenkins config.vm.provision :shell, :path => "add_jenkins.sh" ...
First I map a shared folder of my Windows Host to the Vagrant Virtualbox to persist my Jenkins Configuration.
Then I install Jenkins via the shell script add_jenkins.sh.
sudo yum -y install java sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo sudo rpm --import https://jenkins-ci.org/redhat/jenkins-ci.org.key sudo yum -y install jenkins sudo sed -i -e 's/JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.awt.headless=true"/JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Dmail.smtp.starttls.enable=true"/g' /etc/sysconfig/jenkins sudo service jenkins start
Jenkins requires java, so I install it first. After that I get the latest Long-Term Support (LTS) repository, import it and install Jenkins from there. Then I do some configuration, which I need for my jobs and start Jenkins. An open issue is, that I have to restart Jenkins after Vagrant restart, because the shared folders are unfortunatly mounted after service starts.
After first install you have to enter the credential information from the filesystem as requested, all later installations use the persistent Jenkins configuration, so you can login and start from where you have left Jenkins.
Here you find the source code for this blog.
