DATABASE DEVELOPMENT - Moscone West – 2009
10:30 AM - 4:30 PM

Thinking Clearly About Performance
Cary Millsap, Method-R 

Time: 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM 
Session: 
UGF10009 

Creating high-performance as an attribute of complex software is an extremely difficult business for developers, technology administrators, architects, system analysts, and project managers. However, by understanding some fundamental principles, performance problem solving and prevention can be made far simpler and more reliable. This paper describes those principles, linking them together in a coherent journey covering the goals, the terms, the tools, and the decisions that you need to maximize your application's chance of having a long, productive, high-performance life. Examples in this paper touch upon Oracle experiences, but the scope of the paper is not restricted to Oracle products. 


Oracle Instant Database Cloning
Kyle Hailey, Delphix

Time: 11:45 AM – 12:45 PM
Session: UGF9966

Database virtualization allows the same datafiles to be shared by multiple clones allowing almost instantaneous creation of new copies of databases with almost no disk footprint. Along with storage efficiency, database virtualization allows agile management of database copies. The data agility eliminates bottlenecks in development by removing wait time for creating database environments, allows each developer to have their own full copy of the database and providing QA and UAT with immediate copies of the development environments for testing. This presentation will compare and contrast different types of database virtualization from Oracle 11 CloneDB, Oracle 12c Snap Clones, 12c Snapshot Manager Utility, Oracle ZFS Appliance, Delphix Appliance, VMware Data Director, NetApp Snap Manager for Oracle and EMC. How does database virtualization work? What are the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches?

Session: UGF9925

On the heels of the latest Oracle BI Applications (OBIA) 11.1.1.7.1 product release this session takes an impartial look at the technical and business aspects for the current OBIA release and contrasts it with previous iterations of the product's 7.9.6.x releases. In an effort to highlight the pros and cons of the product's reconfigured infrastructure, most notably using ODI as the ETL process, the presenter will examine licensing considerations, business value, product lifecycle stages, and technical difficulty of implementing a new OBIA 11.1.1.7.x solution. At the end of the presentation attendees should have a better understanding of the new OBIA release and the product's progression.

All of the best work on your OBIEE based system will be wasted if users are frustrated with slow response times for dashboards and reports. Learn from an Oracle ACE with over 10 years of OBIEE implementation experience what contributes to poor performance and what the best solutions are to improve the end user experience and user adoption. This presentation will discuss the creation of a Performance Layer in order to make dashboards and reports run at high speed. Sample scripts and the necessary mapping into the OBIEE Repository are also reviewed, along with Architect and Project Manager considerations. The content is based on Oracle Business Intelligence Applications 11g, but the concepts are equally valid for custom built solutions.

ODTUG ADF EMG FUSION DAY - Moscone West - 2003
8:00 AM - 4:30 PM

Oracle ADF Task Flow Beyond the 10-Minute Demo
John King, King Training Resources & Eugene Fedorenko, CS Integra

Time: 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM
Session: UGF7001

Oracle’s Application Development Framework (ADF) is an excellent tool for creating robust applications. Part of ADF’s strength is the built-in Model-View-Controller (MVC) design inherited from Java Server Faces (JSF). Using a series of XML files (of course) the flow of ADF Faces applications can be managed by the controller properly. The Task Flow process seems a little unwieldy to experienced UI developers, but the advantages of “not breaking” the Controller are worth it. In this session you will see how ADF’s Task Flow may be used to quickly and easily manage the flow of an application.


Oracle on Your Browser or Phone: Design Patterns for Web & Mobile ADF Applications
Floyd Teter, EIS Technologies & Lonneke Dikmans, Vennster

Time: 9:15 AM – 10:15 AM
Session: UGF9898

Whether you're building Oracle software for browsers or your iPhone, Oracle has provided a rich set of ADF Design Patterns that provide guidance on industry standards on creating rich, usable applications. Come learn from two leading Oracle experts on how to make use of these patterns to ensure you build applications that your users not only can use, but are productive and satisfied with.


ADF Performance Tuning War Stories
Stephen Johnson, Integretas & Frank Houweling, AMIS (The Netherlands)

Time: 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
Session: UGF2737

Performance tuning of ADF applications, and their associated application servers and databases, is a complex and ongoing process. There is a plethora of documentation and other material on the subject, but hearing how performance issues have been handled in a real-world environment can provide valuable insight. So come hear some war stories about the performance issues that other ADF developers have encountered and conquered. The problems that arose, the tools used to track down and analyze the cause, the solutions implemented and the results. This will be a panel session with some short presentations followed by questions & answers and group discussion.


Top 10 Web App Vulnerabilities, and Securing them with ADF
Brian Huff, Bezzotech

Time: 11:45 AM – 12:45 PM
Session: UGF9900

Cross site scripting, SQL injection, and request forgery are just some of the major vulnerabilities that every web application developer needs to know. Join this session to learn about the OWASP Top Ten security vulnerabilities, and how to avoid them using ADF and Oracle technologies.


Worst Practices When Developing an ADF Application
Wilfred van der Deijl, The Future Group & Paco van der Linden, AMIS

Time: 2:15 PM – 3:15 PM
Session: UGF9860

The speakers bring over 20 years combined ADF experience to this session. They have seen many different ADF projects in their careers and have made or seen many mistakes. Some of the worst, but surprisingly common, mistakes will be shown so you don’t have to make them on your projects. Understanding why these practices are wrong also gives you a better understanding of the framework which is key to making the right decisions in how to use the vast array of options available in JDeveloper and ADF.


WebCenter & ADF - Responsive and Adaptive Design for Desktop, Mobile, & Tablet
John Sim, Fish Bowl Solutions

Time: 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM
Session: UGF9908

Responsive web design is an approach that suggests that design and development should respond to the user's behavior and environment based on screen size, platform, and orientation. Adaptive web design is about creating interfaces that adapt to the user's capabilities and device.

Learn how to take the next step with your WebCenter Portal and ADF applications and update the layout, skins, styles and portlets to make them truly responsive and adaptive.
