Future of Oracle JHeadstart

All,
A number of you have raised questions on the future of Oracle JHeadstart and we have not been very responsive upto now. Sorry for that.
As you all probably are aware Oracle JHeadstart is an Oracle Consulting Resellable Asset. This means that the direction of JHeadstart is mainly determined by the projects that we, as Oracle Consulting do at our customers with ADF and JHeadstart. That said we have a number of customers that want to make the step to 12c and we intend to deliver a JHeadstart 12c version. Our intention is that we make this release available at the end of this calendar year or early next calendar year (planned not scheduled). We are also working on making it an integral part of our Forms2ADF Migration Factory to support customers in moving from Oracle Forms to Oracle ADF.
How JHeadstart develops beyond the 12c version depends as said before on the projects we will be doing. Of course themes that are of interest to our customers and Oracle Consulting include developer productivity and mobile applications. For now we focus on getting the 12c release out.
If you have any remarks about the future direction and where JHeadstart should evolve to to deliver even more value to your organization, please share these thoughts. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ton van Kooten

Thanks Ton, appreciate the update and looking forward to the next version.

Are you struggling with developer productivity in a J2EE environment? Are you looking for a 4GL-like J2EE Development environment? Do you want to migrate your Forms to J2EE applications? Do you need to build a hybrid application using Forms for your power end-users and Java/HTML for field personnel or the internet? If you answered Yes to anyone of these questions, you need to look into JHeadstart.
Oracle JHeadstart 10g is Oracle Consulting's rapid component based development approach/toolkit for building J2EE applications. It enables fast, reliable, and repeatable development of complex transactional systems. It combines proven J2EE frameworks to implement the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. By declaratively specifying your application in XML files using property editors and using the JHeadstart Application Generator, JHeadstart generates the complete application into these frameworks. The declarative nature of this approach allows you to optionally use Oracle Designer to generate or migrate your Oracle Forms to, Java/HTML. In short: JHeadstart provides you with 4GL-like productivity without jeopardizing the flexibility and openness of the J2EE architecture.

We already purchased the Jheadstart supplement option, but our Oracle Consulting sales contact didn't have walked us through the registration process in before.

Dear Steven:
After I try this 9.0.4 version, I suffer two problem:
(1).The "native charset encoding support " problem still
exist in JHeadstart 9.0.4, and we can not find
CHARACTER_ENCODING entry in properties file. How to solve
this problem ?
(2).I still cann't using IE6.0 to switch the tab in Jhs
sample application(go2 java script), when I do this the
browser not response and display error in status bar.
but the Mozilla work fine in it. My browser language is
Traditional Chinese version.
Ting-Rung Dai
At the top of each page, the following line is generated:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'windows-1252'?>
You should change the encoding there.To automatically generate this encoding, you can do the following:
- extract GeneratorText_en.properties from JagLauncher.jar, located in <jdev_home>\lib\ext
- Copy this file and rename in to GeneratorText_tr. properties (assuming tr is Turkish?)
- change the CHARACTER_ENCODING entry, and translate the other labels.
- add the new property file to JAGLauncher.jar
- restart JDeveloper, set the language to turkish in the Application Structure editor and generate the application.

What is the future of Oracle Discoverer?

I posted some of my thoughts on this one http://www.appsbi.com/2007/03/19/what-is-the-future-of-oracle-discoverer-freeware/
and thought who could be better to answer other than Discoverer users themselves. Do you think it makes sense to release Discoverer as a freeware tool or best as an Open source tool?
regards
Nilesh
http://www.infocaptor.com

Hi Bob
You mustn't believe everything you hear from an Oracle sales person. The sales reps have a vested interest in making you believe that OBI SE, which includes Discoverer, will not be here because they earn a lot more commission if they can get you to use EE.
They are right though in that Oracle is developing a tool that will migrate the Discoverer metadata into the Siebel metadata but this is only aimed at making you upgrade to Siebel - which is about 4 to 5 times the cost of Discoverer by the way. Siebel won't be replacing Discoverer, it will be an alternative. A nice, sexy looking, powerful alternative, yet an alternative nevertheless.
Discoverer will still be here and you will then have a choice as to whether you stay with standard edition or migrate to enterprise edition. Now of course if you have plenty of money there is nothing stopping you from upgrading, but for most people that option is out of the question right now. Oracle would need to reduce the price for EE if it is to tempt most of the Discoverer organizations into EE. Heck, there are hundred of companies still using 3.1 never mind 10g Release 2. And how many folks who have 10.1.2 have upgraded to 10.1.2.2, even though its been out a few months now and fixes all those GUI issues that they have?
From what I know, Oracle never makes claims for a product more than 2 releases out and Discoverer certainly has 2 releases in the pipework. There's a release 10.1.2.3 due out in a couple of months and a major 11g release next year. After that it would have a support life of a minimum of 5 years, even if they stopped it after 11g, during which time anything can happen. As you know, 5 years in IT is an absolute age.
Your posting certainly makes for interesting reading though and I'm sure there will be plenty of commets. If you hear any other interesting snippets I'd love to hear.
Best wishes
Michael

Cannot access class oracle.jheadstart.model.adfbc.JhsApplicationModuleImpl;

Error(2,38): cannot access class oracle.jheadstart.model.adfbc.JhsApplicationModuleImpl; file oracle\jheadstart\model\adfbc\JhsApplicationModuleImpl.class not found
Hi,
I am working on demo application from JHeadstart Developer's Guide (ch2). I got the above error when I tried to test the ADF BC.
I checked the Project properties of the model and there was no jheadstart subfolder under oracle folder.
I followed the install.html for JHeadstart download without problem.
I am wondering if the .jar files from JHeadstart that I copied to Jdeveloper is where the issue is?
Any help is much appreciated.
Ahsan

Sandra,
Thanks for your prompt and helpful response.
When you are at page 2-9 in the Getting Started chapter, you should not have run the Application Generator yet, therefore your Application Module should not extend JhsApplicationModuleImpl yet.
CORRECT.
Or did you explicitly set the ADF BC Base Class properties to JhsApplicationModuleImpl?
YES I DID THIS.
The paragraph that describes this does mention that JHeadstart sets it up for you, you don't have to do it yourself. Is that where the confusion originated?
YES I UNDERSTOOD THIS ALSO BUT THE CONFUSION WAS NOT HERE.
MY SUGGESTION: if you modified the first sentence on page 2-10 to something like (You need to 'run the JAG' before you do Right-click the "HRService"Application Module and choose 'Test' 'otherwise you will get an error') would resolve the confusion for me.

Future of Oracle BPM 10g

Hi Friends, I have been working on Oracle BPM 10g past 6 months, but really not sure whether to continue using this tool as its going to be obsolete soon. Guess most of the client are using Oracle BPM 11g and some even migrating to Oracle 12c. What's the future for Oracle BPM 10g with the respect to BPM market in the future. Are there any projects/clients which are still using Oracle BPM 10g. How easy/difficult is to move from BPM 10g to BPM 11g. I have around 6 years of experience and worked on Savvion Business Manager earlier. Please help with your valuable suggestions. Regards.

Support for Oracle BPM 10g has been extended. Look at Oracle's Lifetime Support Policy document for Fusion Middleware (page 40). Note that support for Oracle BPM 10g has been extended to December 2018.
With that said, if a company was to start an Oracle BPM project today, I'd suggest that they do it using Oracle BPM 11g. Your upgrade path to 12c will be much simpler using 11g and there aren't many of us left who know and can train people getting started on Oracle BPM 10g.

What about future of Oracle Forms Developer?

I heard, in future entire Oracle Apps will be in Java and Jdeveloper tools without Oracle Forms. In that case Oracle Forms will not stand as a stand alone tool for development. Now a day even small companies also prefer ERP solution. So what will be the future who is fully working on Oracle Forms and Reports?

Thnaks... But still I couldn't see anyone saying
Forms is forever. In future it will be supported by
Oracle but not recomended by Oracle is it?Then again ... J2EE is not 'forever' either.
The moment anyone comes along with and interestng tool set and enough money to do some serious marketing, you will find a lot of people who will jump to it, simply because it resolves some of their problems. (But not all!)
I started working with Oracle Forms 2.3 and have heard an almost annual 'Forms is dead' since 1993. Fourteen years later, those who claim 'Forms is dead' are still looking for replacements of their favorite substitutes of Forms (such as PowerBuilder)
My recomnmendation around Forms - as with all technology - is simple: if it (Forms, J2EE, whatever) works for your purposes, use it. Your app will need revising inside 5 years, and you can re-evaluate the technoloy at that time.

Future of Oracle Portal

Anybody knows about the future of Oracle Portal.
Will WebLogic Portal replace it?

Hi,
1)
WebLogic is not similar product as OAS Portal. WL provides a J2EE framework and requires strong Java developer skills. You create portals similar as you would do in WebCEnter, using IDE. In WL case that is BEA's version of Eclipse, in OWC case that is JDeveloper. BTW, WL runs only on WebLogic Server (currently).
It is expected for WL and OWC to converge in the few next releases.
2)
Of course itis possible to migrate from OAS Portal to Web Center - via via JSF Portlet Bridge.
3)
BEA has another product called AquLogic User Interaction (ex Plumtree portal). That is declarative portal, that is simmilar in a way to OAS Portal. Of course, it does not support PL/SQL, but it can run on different servers. Anyway, that is an advanced declarative portal product. It is going to be rebranded as Oracle's prpoduct, and become part of OWC suite (together with OC Framework, OWC services etc).
4)
OAS Portal will remain DB centric, declarative environment that is running on iAS EE and most probably WebLogic Server. In release 11 it will include some Web2.0 services/features.
Cheers,
Nenad

Help:What is the Future of Oracle DBA Professional?

Hi Guys,
I am new(fresher) to the field of Database administration can u tell me more about the role of a DBA and after 3-5 years of experience where can i find oppurtunities and which companies hire DBA's and does certification help DBA’s what edge do DBA’s have over Software Developer’s
Thanks
Vijay

Vijay,
There is no such thing that the future will nto be there for the dbas.Its not the profession of dbas but it applies to everyone who is in any field.The value is only for those who are good in what they do. So if you are really good in whatever you do there wont be any issues in oppertunities. Oracle database is a very vast field and you need to keep your self always open to learn new concepts , things, technologies to make sure that you are in demand.

Future of Oracle DBA

Hello Experts
I am seeking for your guidance regarding to future of the Oracle DBA(Core).
I have following questions:
1. What areas in Oracle we need to strong(e.g RAC, dataguard,...etc.)
2. How much OS level skills are required (e.g. basic, middle, experts...etc)
3. What will be the effect of SUN and Oracle Deal on DBA's life
4. What are the extra skills needed except Oracle Database
5. Who is better APPS DBA or Core DBA
Thanks & Regards
Sunil Kumar

I have following questions:Expert or not, opinions are like belly-buttons - eveybody has one. Here's mine (opinion, that is ...) ;-)
>
1. What areas in Oracle we need to strong(e.g RAC, dataguard,...etc.)Yes.
2. How much OS level skills are required (e.g. basic, middle, experts...etc)Middle, but see my response to #4
3. What will be the effect of SUN and Oracle Deal on DBA's life. I wouldn't expect much if any. Oracle RDBMS is still the company's flagship product. That won't change. It has certainly had no effect on this dba's life! My alarm clock still goes off too early. I still get home too late. I still don't spend enough time with my family or practicing my trumpet or paddling a canoe.
4. What are the extra skills needed except Oracle DatabaseSome OS, some networking, some programming in the language de juor. In my opinion no education or knowledge is ever wasted. And as a DBA you are at the juncture of OS/network/programming/system design. And everyone else always believes every problem they have is the dba's responsibility because "it has to be the database!". Network people never believe they have mis-configured a switch or router, or that they have failing hardware. OS people never believe they did any damage be deleting log files (as in .. redo01a.log). Programmers never believe bad data could enter the system, so never code to trap it. They never believe that the way they code SQL could have a detrimental impact on performance or scalability. Designers never believe the database and rdbms is anything more than a data dump.
So it always falls to the DBA to do other people's troubleshooting for them.
5. Who is better APPS DBA or Core DBA Define "better".
Define "APPS DBA"
Define "Core DBA"

Future of Oracle Forms?

Hello, I am maintaining a huge application in Oracle Forms 6i and I think Forms is a great product. We are looking at future upgrade/migration paths (such as to Forms 10g) and a number of people I have talked to seem to think that Oracle Forms is being phased out by Oracle and is "going away".
I have read the statement of direction document and it seems to indicate otherwise, but nothing else I have come across seems to definitively indicate one way or the other.
I am aware that the client/server version has been discontinued, (too bad really, serving up the app via Terminal Services is so much less troublesome than a web app) but the point is to have some kind of upgrade path when or if needed.
So is there any shred of truth to what these people are telling me or are they just greatly misinformed?
I am very, very grateful for any assistance.

Nathan,
we don't have any plans to discontinue Forms. So Forms is not going away. We know that these rumours exist.
We could spend our time in fighting back rumours or in providing support for our customer base and work on new features for upcoming Forms releases. We decided for the latter, which may explain why you don't find many documents arguing against those rumours.
The Forms development team and product management team is also involved in developing the Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) for J2EE in Oracle JDeveloper.
In fact, with ADF in Oracle JDeveloper, we are going to provide RAD functionality - like we have in Forms - for J2EE. This however is an offering to J2EE developers and doesn't impact Forms users directly - except for that we are making sure that Forms integrates with J2EE and that Forms developers will find it easy to develop J2EE applications based on their skill set to some point in time.
We are currently working hard on Forms 11. Forms 10.1.2, which will be released in summer, also comes with enhancements (e.g. to WebUtil).
So don't worry of what other people say.
Frank
