Mobile Application Development


• Native Apps Developed specifically for one platform (Objective C for iOS, Java

for Android) Take full advantage of all the device features.

• Mobile Web Apps Developed using HTML5, JavaScript and server side languages or

application frameworks like Rails, PHP, Python etc. Runs in the web browser of the device

• Hybrid Apps Combines elements of both native and web apps. Uses HTML5 and CSS to render the user interface in the mobile

platforms Web View

Oracle MAF


• Cross Platform development Built Once and run on multiple platforms

• Easier UI development Integrated into both jDeveloper and Eclipse. Both IDEs provide integration with iOS and Android SDKs. Visual and Declarative development capabilities.

• Java, JavaScript and HTML-5 based application development.

• Access to native device features Open source Apache Cordova into MAF for access to device

features.

• Support for offline mode using local SQLite database. • Mobile Security

Oracle MAF Architecture


Device Features

Apache Cordova

Java VM

UI Implementation


• Web View Uses a mobile device's web engine to display and process web-based content. In a MAF application, the web view delivers the user interface by rendering the application markup as HTML 5.

MAF AMX Declarative interface and Visual

development (XML format) Renders into HTML5 and JavaScript at

runtime.

Local HTML Programmatic HTML5 with any third

party frameworks.

Server HTML User interface, page flow logic, and

business logic are delivered from a remote server.

Device Features Interaction


• Apache Cordova The Apache Cordova JavaScript APIs integrate the device's native

features and services into a mobile application. Email SMS Contacts GPS Camera Files

Business Logic


• Java Virtual Machine

Provides Run time environment for MAF. JVM is implemented in device-native code. Embedded into each instance of the MAF application as part of the native

application binary.

Business Logic Implemented using Java Managed Beans

Model Connects business logic components with user interface. Provides execution logic to invoke SOAP/REST services.

JDBC JDBC API enables the model layer to access the data in the

encrypted SQLite database through CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operations.

Security


• Authentication HTTP Basic Integration with Oracle

Access Manager for Mobile and Social server

OAuth

Development Environments


• jDeveloper 12c • Eclipse • MAF 2.0.1 • Xcode • Android SDK • EBS 12.1.3

Set up with iOS


• Needs a MacOS with XCode • jDeveloper - Tools -> Preferences

• Update with the iOS info.

Set up with Android


• Download and install the Android Stand-alone SDK Tools • jDeveloper - Tools -> Preferences

• Update with right entries • Start Android SDK

5. Questions

Integrated SOA Gateway


• A complete set of service infrastructure to provide, consume, and administer Oracle E-Business Suite Web services.

• All Oracle E-Business Suite integration interface definitions are accessible through the Oracle Integration Repository

• SOAP and REST (from 12.2) support. • Supports custom integration interfaces. • Supports multiple authentication types for security • Ability to monitor services. • Function security and role-based access control security.

Supported Interfaces


• PL/SQL • XML/ EDI Gateway • Concurrent Programs

• Business Events • Interface Tables/Views • Java

Custom Integration Interface


• The Integration Repository will recognize integrations through annotations in the PL/SQL code.

• Only the package spec should be annotated.

PL/SQL Api’s


• Package has Procedures / Functions that can be exposed as web services.

Importing into ISG


• Create an iLDT file (Integration Repository loader file) that is uploaded to the Integration Repository. Use irep_parser.pl perl script to generate ildt file

• Upload to IR using Use $FND_TOP/bin/FNDLOAD $FND_TOP/patch/115/import/wfirep.lct

Custom Packages in ISG


• Once imported, the interface will be available in Integrated SOA gateway

Deploy services


• Generate WSDL

• Once WSDL is generated, used the Deploy option to deploy the web service.

Deployed services


WSDL


• The URL can be used to call the custom package with the required parameters

Grants


• Grant access to the web service for users

5. Questions

Task Planning in the warehouse


• Release work to the warehouse floor to optimally run the day-to-day warehousing operations.

• Tasks are comprised of demand pick tasks for sales orders, work orders, and replenishment.

• Tasks are also comprised of inbound receiving and put away tasks, slotting inventory transfer tasks, inventory control related cycle counting tasks, and inbound-outbound hybrid cross-docking tasks.
