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 can find the presentation here : JDE_E1_Tech_Task_Force-JDE_Orchestrator&AIS_Enhancements
One of the Use Case described yesterday was “Irrigation Automation” with the following scenario:
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. You can check directly the Oracle doc : https://docs.
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:
**2 Autonomous Transaction Processing Databases **(with 1 OCPU and 20 Gb Storage)
1 for JD Edwards database 1 for storing JSON data using Simple Oracle Document Access (SODA) - see Oracle As Document Store **2 Compute VMs **(with 1/8 OCPU and 1 GB memory)
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 !
