Titel: How to Bring Common UI Patterns to ADF
Onderwerp: Fusion Middleware - Subonderwerp: ADF
Eindgebruikers van bedrijfsapplicaties eisen dezelfde gebruikerservaring die ze kennen van bijvoorbeeld office applicaties en applicaties op het internet. Functies zoals bookmarking, favorieten en het werken met tabs wordt graag gezien in de dagelijkse werk. Het zoekmechanisme van Google, dat suggesties toont op basis van de ingevoerde tekst, is zo ´gewoon´ dat mensen dit in elke applicatie terug willen zien. Twitter en Facebook geven automatisch aan dat je nieuwe berichten hebt zonder dat je daar zelf eerst om moet vragen, dat gebruikers de normaalste zaak van de wereld vinden. Er zijn nog veel meer van deze UI patterns. In deze sessie leer je hoe een aantal van deze UI patterns in je ADF applicatie kunt inbouwen waardoor de eindgebruiker beschikking krijgt over bekende en vanzelfsprekende features. Dit zal leiden tot een snellere acceptatie van de applicatie en prettigere gebruikerservaring.

Business Social Networking - part 1: cultural and historical perspective #BSN...Roberto Lofaro
This book is based on two drafts/concepts (on social networking and marketing, and social networking and security) that I had registered with WGA in 2008, before giving a non-exclusive license to part of the material to contribute to a marketing book, and preparing to contribute to a book on networking (technology and methods; eventually my participation was scuttled), extensively revised and updated in 2013.
The second volume, initially forecast for 2015, was not published due to a potential conflict of interest (a contract started in 2015 that ended in 2018)
Therefore, it will be revised and published in late 2018, with a focus on social networking and marketing, six months after the enforcement of GDPR (i.e. forecast for early December 2018).
This short book (or extended essay) is just part of a series of collected thoughts and analysis.
Focus: the impact of social and technological change on traditional management practices.
Aim: to raise informed questions, not to provide answers

We all know that MongoDB is one of the most flexible and feature-rich databases available. In this webinar we'll discuss how you can leverage this feature set and maintain high performance with your project's massive data sets and high loads. We'll cover how indexes can be designed to optimize the performance of MongoDB. We'll also discuss tips for diagnosing and fixing performance issues should they arise.
New Indexing and Aggregation Pipeline Capabilities in MongoDB 4.2Antonios Giannopoulos
MongoDB 4.2 comes GA soon delivering some amazing new features on multiple areas. In this talk, we will focus on the new capabilities of the aggregation framework. We are going to cover the new operators and expressions. At the same time, we will explore how updates commands can now use the aggregation framework operators. We are also going to present aggregation framework improvements focusing on the on-demand materialized views. Finally, we are going to explore the wildcard indexes introduced in MongoDB 4.2 and how they change the way we design documents and build queries/aggregations. We will also make a reference to the new index build system.
Back to Basics Webinar 4: Advanced Indexing, Text and Geospatial IndexesMongoDB
This is the fourth webinar of a Back to Basics series that will introduce you to the MongoDB database. This webinar will introduce you to the aggregation framework.
In this presentation, Amit explains querying with MongoDB in detail including Querying on Embedded Documents, Geospatial indexing and Querying etc.
The tutorial includes a recap of MongoDB, the wrapped queries, queries which are using modifiers, Upsert (saving/ updating queries), updating multiple documents at once, etc. Moreover, it gives a brief explanation about specifying which keys to return, the AND/OR queries, querying on embedded documents, cursors and Geospatial indexing. The tutorial begins with a section about MongoDB which includes steps to install and start MongoDB, to show and select Database, to drop collection and database, steps to insert a document and get up to 20 matching documents. Furthermore, it also includes steps to store and use Javascript functions on the server side.
The next section after the MongoDB section is about wrapped queries and queries using modifiers which includes the types of wrapped queries which are used like LikeQuery, SortQuery, LimitQuery, SkipQuery. It also includes the types of queries using modifiers like NotEqualModifier, Greater/Lesser modifier, Increment Modifier, Set Modifier, Unset Modifier, Push Modifier etc. Then comes the section about Upsert (Save or update). There are steps mentioned for saving or updating queries in this section.
At the same time, there are steps to update multiple documents altogether. The next section which is called “specifying which keys to return” talks about ways to specify the keys the user wants. After this section comes OR/AND query. It informs us about the general steps to do an OR query. Also, it includes the general steps to do an AND query. After this section comes another section called “querying on embedded document” which tells the user about ways of querying for an embedded document.
One of the important sections of this tutorial is about cursors, uses of a cursor and also methods to chain additional options onto a query before it is performed. Following is a section about indexing which talks about indexing as a term and how indexing helps in improving the query’s speed. At the end is a section which gives a brief explanation on geospatial indexing which is another type of query that became common with the emergence of mobile devices. Also, it includes the ways geospatial queries can be performed.
MongoDB SoCal 2020: Migrate Anything* to MongoDB AtlasMongoDB

MongoDB .local San Francisco 2020: Powering the new age data demands [Infosys]MongoDB
Our clients have unique use cases and data patterns that mandate the choice of a particular strategy. To implement these strategies, it is mandatory that we unlearn a lot of relational concepts while designing and rapidly developing efficient applications on NoSQL. In this session, we will talk about some of our client use cases, the strategies we have adopted, and the features of MongoDB that assisted in implementing these strategies.
MongoDB .local San Francisco 2020: Using Client Side Encryption in MongoDB 4.2MongoDB
Encryption is not a new concept to MongoDB. Encryption may occur in-transit (with TLS) and at-rest (with the encrypted storage engine). But MongoDB 4.2 introduces support for Client Side Encryption, ensuring the most sensitive data is encrypted before ever leaving the client application. Even full access to your MongoDB servers is not enough to decrypt this data. And better yet, Client Side Encryption can be enabled at the "flick of a switch".
This session covers using Client Side Encryption in your applications. This includes the necessary setup, how to encrypt data without sacrificing queryability, and what trade-offs to expect.

MongoDB .local San Francisco 2020: MongoDB Atlas Data Lake Technical Deep DiveMongoDB
MongoDB Atlas Data Lake is a new service offered by MongoDB Atlas. Many organizations store long term, archival data in cost-effective storage like S3, GCP, and Azure Blobs. However, many of them do not have robust systems or tools to effectively utilize large amounts of data to inform decision making. MongoDB Atlas Data Lake is a service allowing organizations to analyze their long-term data to discover a wealth of information about their business.
This session will take a deep dive into the features that are currently available in MongoDB Atlas Data Lake and how they are implemented. In addition, we'll discuss future plans and opportunities and offer ample Q&A time with the engineers on the project.
MongoDB .local San Francisco 2020: Developing Alexa Skills with MongoDB & GolangMongoDB
Virtual assistants are becoming the new norm when it comes to daily life, with Amazon’s Alexa being the leader in the space. As a developer, not only do you need to make web and mobile compliant applications, but you need to be able to support virtual assistants like Alexa. However, the process isn’t quite the same between the platforms.
How do you handle requests? Where do you store your data and work with it to create meaningful responses with little delay? How much of your code needs to change between platforms?
In this session we’ll see how to design and develop applications known as Skills for Amazon Alexa powered devices using the Go programming language and MongoDB.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
16. // Create an index if one does not exist
db.recipes.createIndex({ main_ingredient: 1 })
// The client remembers the index and raises no errors
db.recipes.ensureIndex({ main_ingredient: 1 })
* 1 means ascending, -1 descending
How do I create indexes?
17. // Multiple fields (compound key indexes)
db.recipes.ensureIndex({
main_ingredient: 1,
calories: -1
})
// Arrays of values (multikey indexes)
{
name: 'Chicken Noodle Soup’,
ingredients : ['chicken', 'noodles']
}
db.recipes.ensureIndex({ ingredients: 1 })
What can be indexed?
18. // Subdocuments
{
name : 'Apple Pie',
contributor: {
name: 'Joe American',
id: 'joea123'
}
}
db.recipes.ensureIndex({ 'contributor.id': 1 })
db.recipes.ensureIndex({ 'contributor': 1 })
What can be indexed?
19. // List a collection's indexes
db.recipes.getIndexes()
db.recipes.getIndexKeys()
// Drop a specific index
db.recipes.dropIndex({ ingredients: 1 })
// Drop all indexes and recreate them
db.recipes.reIndex()
// Default (unique) index on _id
How do I manage indexes?
20. // Index creation is a blocking operation that can take a long time
// Background creation yields to other operations
db.recipes.ensureIndex(
{ ingredients: 1 },
{ background: true }
)
Background Index Builds
22. // Only one recipe can have a given value for name
db.recipes.ensureIndex( { name: 1 }, { unique: true } )
// Force index on collection with duplicate recipe names – drop the
duplicates
db.recipes.ensureIndex(
{ name: 1 },
{ unique: true, dropDups: true }
)
* dropDups is probably never what you want
Uniqueness Constraints
23. // Only documents with field calories will be indexed
db.recipes.ensureIndex(
{ calories: -1 },
{ sparse: true }
)
// Allow multiple documents to not have calories field
db.recipes.ensureIndex(
{ name: 1 , calories: -1 },
{ unique: true, sparse: true }
)
* Missing fields are stored as null(s) in the index
Sparse Indexes
24. // Add GeoJSON with longitude & latitude coordinates
{
name: '10gen Palo Alto’,
loc: { type: “Point”, coordinates: [-122.158574 , 37.449157] }
}
// Index the coordinates
db.locations.ensureIndex( { loc : '2dsphere' } )
// Query for locations 'near' a particular coordinate
db.locations.find({
loc: { $near: {$geometry: {type: “Point”, coordinates: [ -122.3, 37.4] }
})
Geospatial Indexes
25. // Documents must have a BSON UTC Date field
{ 'status' : ISODate('2012-10-12T05:24:07.211Z'), … }
// Documents are removed after 'expireAfterSeconds' seconds
db.recipes.ensureIndex(
{ submitted_date: 1 },
{ expireAfterSeconds: 3600 }
)
TTL Collections
26. Limitations
• Collections can not have > 64 indexes.
• Index keys can not be > 1024 bytes (1K).
• The name of an index, including the namespace, must be <
128 characters.
• Queries can only use 1 index*
• Indexes have storage requirements, and impact the
performance of writes.
• In memory sort (no-index) limited to 32mb of return data.
28. db.setProfilingLevel( n , slowms=100ms )
n=0 profiler off
n=1 record operations longer than slowms
n=2 record all queries
db.system.profile.find()
* The profile collection is a capped collection, and fixed in size
Profiling Slow Ops
29. db.recipes.find( { calories:
{ $lt : 40 } }
).explain( )
{
"cursor" : "BasicCursor" ,
"n" : 42,
"nscannedObjects” : 12345
"nscanned" : 12345,
...
"millis" : 356,
...
}
* Doesn’t use cached plans, re-evals and resets cache
The Explain Plan (Pre Index)
30. db.recipes.find( { calories:
{ $lt : 40 } }
).explain( )
{
"cursor" : "BtreeCursor calories_-1" ,
"n" : 42,
"nscannedObjects": 42
"nscanned" : 42,
...
"millis" : 0,
...
}
* Doesn’t use cached plans, re-evals and resets cache
The Explain Plan (Post Index)
31. The Query Optimizer
• For each "type" of query, MongoDB
periodically tries all useful indexes
• Aborts the rest as soon as one plan wins
• The winning plan is temporarily cached for
each “type” of query
32. // Tell the database what index to use
db.recipes.find({
calories: { $lt: 1000 } }
).hint({ _id: 1 })
// Tell the database to NOT use an index
db.recipes.find(
{ calories: { $lt: 1000 } }
).hint({ $natural: 1 })
Manually Select Index to Use
33. // Given the following index
db.collection.ensureIndex({ a:1, b:1 , c:1, d:1 })
// The following query and sort operations can use the index
db.collection.find( ).sort({ a:1 })
db.collection.find( ).sort({ a:1, b:1 })
db.collection.find({ a:4 }).sort({ a:1, b:1 })
db.collection.find({ b:5 }).sort({ a:1, b:1 })
Use Indexes to Sort Query
Results
34. // Given the following index
db.collection.ensureIndex({ a:1, b:1, c:1, d:1 })
// These can not sort using the index
db.collection.find( ).sort({ b: 1 })
db.collection.find({ b: 5 }).sort({ b: 1 })
Indexes that won’t work for
sorting query results
35. // MongoDB can return data from just the index
db.recipes.ensureIndex({ main_ingredient: 1, name: 1 })
// Return only the ingredients field
db.recipes.find(
{ main_ingredient: 'chicken’ },
{ _id: 0, name: 1 }
)
// indexOnly will be true in the explain plan
db.recipes.find(
{ main_ingredient: 'chicken' },
{ _id: 0, name: 1 }
).explain()
{
"indexOnly": true,
}
Index Covered Queries
38. // MongoDB can only use one index for a query
db.collection.ensureIndex({ a: 1 })
db.collection.ensureIndex({ b: 1 })
// Only one of the above indexes is used
db.collection.find({ a: 3, b: 4 })
Trying to Use Multiple
Indexes
39. // Compound key indexes are very effective
db.collection.ensureIndex({ a: 1, b: 1, c: 1 })
// But only if the query is a prefix of the index
// This query can't effectively use the index
db.collection.find({ c: 2 })
// …but this query can
db.collection.find({ a: 3, b: 5 })
Compound Key Mistakes
41. db.users.ensureIndex({ username: 1 })
// Left anchored regex queries can use the index
db.users.find({ username: /^joe smith/ })
// But not generic regexes
db.users.find({username: /smith/ })
// Or case insensitive queries
db.users.find({ username: /Joe/i })
Regular Expressions
When speaking: What are indexes and why do we need them?First part of this talk is conceptualSecond part is extremely detailed
Look at 7 documents
Queries, inserts and deletes: O(log(n)) time
MongoDB's indexes are B-Trees.Lookups (queries), inserts and deletes happen in O(log(n)) time.TODO: Add a page describing what a B-Tree is???
So this is helpful, and can speed up queries by a tremendous amount
So it’s imperative we understand them
Tell a story about a customer problem caused by a missing index.
Repeated calls to ensureIndex only result in one create message going to the server. The index is cached client side for some period of time (varies by driver).
Indexes can be costly if you have too manysoooo....
getIndexes returns an index document for each index in the collection.dropIndex requires the spec used to create the index initiallyreIndex drops *all* indexes (including the _id index) and rebuilds them
Caveats:Still a resource-intensive operationIndex build is slowerThe mongo shell session or app will block while the index buildsIndexes are still built in the foreground on secondariesKristine to provide replica set image.
unique applies a uniqueness constant on duplicate values.dropDups will force the server to create a unique index by only keeping the first document found in natural order with a value and dropping all other documents with that value.dropDups will likely result in data loss!!!TODO: Maybe add a red exclamation point for dropDups.
MongoDB doesn't enforce a schema – documents are not required to have the same fields.Sparse indexes only contain entries for documents that have the indexed field.Without sparse, documents without field 'a' have a null entry in the index for that field.With sparse a unique constraint can be applied to a field not shared by all documents. Otherwise multiple 'null' values violate the unique constraint.XXX: Is there a visual that makes sense here?
'2d' index is a geohash on top of the b-tree.Allows you to search for documents 'near' a latitude/longitude position. Bounds queries are also possible using $within.TODO: Google maps image, or something similar. Kristine to provide.
Index must be on a BSON date field.Documents are removed after expireAfterSeconds seconds.Reaper thread runs every 60 seconds.TODO: Hourglass image, or something similar. Kristine to provide.
Indexes are a really powerful feature of MongoDB, however there are some limitations.Understanding these limitations is an important part of using MongoDB correctly.With the exception of $or queries.If index key exceeds 1k, documents silently dropped/not included
Changingslowms also affects what queries are logged to the mongodb log file.
cursor – the type of cursor used. BasicCursor means no index was used. TODO: Use a real example here instead of made up numbers…n – the number of documents that match the querynscannedObjects – the number of documents that had to be scannednscanned – the number of items (index entries or documents) examinedmillis – how long the query tookRatio of n to nscanned should be as close to 1 as possible.

Winning plan is reevaluated after 1000 write operations (insert, update, remove, etc.).TODO: Replace much of this with an animation? Kristine to provide.
Tells MongoDB exactly what index to use.
MongoDB sorts results based on the field order in the index.For queries that include a sort that uses a compound key index, ensure that all fields before the first sorted field are equality matches.TODO: Better explanation
