During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Nikita: Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services with Oracle University, and with me is Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs.  Lois: Hi everyone! In our last two episodes, we explored the Oracle Cloud Success Navigator platform. This week and next, we're diving into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications with Sarah Mahalik, a Cloud Delivery Lead here at Oracle. We'll ask Sarah about Oracle's cloud apps suite, the Redwood design system, and also look at some of Oracle's AI capabilities.  01:02 Nikita: Yeah, let's jump right in. Hi Sarah! How does Oracle approach the SaaS model? Sarah: Oracle's Cloud Applications suite is a complete enterprise cloud designed to modernize your business. Our cloud suite of SaaS applications, which includes Enterprise Resource Planning, or ERP, Supply Chain Management, or SCM, Human Capital Management, or HCM, and Customer Experience, or CX, brings consistent processes and a single source of truth across the most important business functions.  At Oracle, we own all of the technology stacks that power our suite of cloud applications. Oracle Cloud Applications are built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and ensure the performance, resiliency, and security that enterprises need. Your business no longer needs to worry about maintaining a data center, hardware, operating systems, database, network, or all of the security. With deep integrations, a common data model, and a unified user interface, these applications help improve customer engagement, increase agility, and accelerate response to change. Oracle's Cloud Applications are updated quarterly with new features and improvements. These updates are based on our deep understanding of customer's functional needs, as well as modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and digital assistants. Expectations for user experience only go up. Oracle's Redwood User Experience methodology ensures those expectations are matched and exceeded by including powerful and predictive search, a look and feel that actually helps users see what they need to in the order they need to see it, and by providing conversational and micro-interactions. Oracle, as a SaaS provider, puts the customer first by having enough dedicated resources to ensure zero downtime and increasing the speed of implementation by eliminating much of the hardware and software setup activity. 02:59 Nikita: What are the advantages of adopting Oracle Cloud Apps? Sarah: First off, Oracle provides automatic quarterly updates, and they're usable immediately. Customers can focus on leveraging the new functionality instead of spending cycles on installing it. There's much more accessibility because Oracle hosts the heavy part of the applications and customers access it via thin clients. The applications can be used from nearly anywhere and on a wide range of devices, including smartphones and tablets. Another great advantage is speed and agility. A lot of the benefits you see here result from Oracle's provider model. That means customers aren't spending time on customization, application testing, and report development. Instead, they work on the much lighter and faster tasks of configuration, validation, and leveraging embedded analytics. And finally, it's just better economics. Because of the pricing model, it is easy to compare an on-premises implementation cost. While upfront costs are almost always lower, overall operational costs and risk are usually lower as well. This translates to better total cost of ownership and improved overall economics and agility for your business. 04:10 Lois: Sarah, in your experience, why do customers love Oracle Cloud Apps? Sarah: At Oracle, we empower you with embedded AI that drives real breakthroughs in productivity and efficiency, helping you stay ahead of the curve. With the power of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you get the best of performance, security, and scalability, making it the perfect foundation for your business. Our modern user experience is intuitive and designed with your needs in mind, while our relentless innovation is focused on what truly matters to you. Above all, our commitment to your success is unwavering. We're here to support you every step of the way, ensuring you thrive and grow with Oracle. 04:49 Lois: Let's talk about Oracle's Redwood design system. What is it? And how does it enhance the user experience?  Sarah: Redwood is the name of Oracle's next-generation user experience. Redwood design system is a collection of prefabricated components, templates, and patterns to enable developers to quickly create very sophisticated and polished interactions that are upgrade safe. It provides a consumer grade-plus experience, where you have high-quality functionality that can be used across multiple devices. You have access to insightful data readily at your fingertips for quick access and decision making, with the option to personalize your application to create your own state of the art experience. Processes and entry time will now be more efficient and streamlined by having fewer clicks and faster downloads, which will lead to high productivity in areas that matter the most. The Redwood design is intelligent, meaning you have access to AI, where you will receive recommendations and guidance based on your preferences and business processes. It's also adaptable, allowing you to use the same tools to create new experiences by using the Business Rule Framework with modern UX components. Oracle's Redwood user experience will help you to be more productive, efficient, and engaged with a highly personalized experience. 06:11 Are you keen to stay ahead in today's fast-paced world? We've got your back! Each quarter, Oracle rolls out game-changing updates to its Fusion Cloud Applications. And to make sure you're always in the know, we offer New Features courses that give you an insider's look at all of the latest advancements. Don't miss out! Head over to mylearn.oracle.com to get started.  06:37 Nikita: Welcome back! Sarah, you said the Redwood design system is adaptable. Can you elaborate on what you mean by that?  Sarah: In a nutshell, this means that developers can extend their applications using the same development platform that Oracle Cloud Applications are built on. Oracle Visual Builder Studio is a robust application development platform that enables users to rapidly create and extend web, mobile, and progressive web interfaces using a visual development environment. It streamlines application development and reduces coding, while also providing flexibility and support for popular build and testing frameworks. With Oracle Visual Builder Studio, users can build apps for the web, create progressive web apps, and develop on-device mobile apps. The tool also offers access to REST services and allows for planning and managing development processes, as well as managing the code lifecycle. Additionally, Oracle Visual Builder Studio provides hosting for apps along with easy publishing and version management. Changes made using Visual Builder Studio are called Application Extensions.  Visual Builder Studio Express Mode has two key components: Business Rules and Constants. Use Business Rules, which is the Redwood equivalent to Transaction Design Studio for responsive pages, to leverage delivered best practices or create your own rules based on various criteria, such as country and business unit. Make fields and regions required or optional, read-only or editable, and show or hide fields in regions, depending on specific criteria. Use the various delivered Constants to customize your Redwood pages to best fit your specific business needs, such as hide the evaluation panel and connections or reorder the columns in the person search result table. 08:23 Lois: Sarah, here's a question that's probably on everyone's mind—what about AI for Fusion Applications? Sarah: Oracle integrates AI into Fusion Applications, enabling faster, better decision making and empowering your workforce. With both classic and generative AI embedded, customers can access AI-driven insights seamlessly within their everyday software environment. In HCM, AI helps to automate routine tasks. It's also used to attract and manage talent more efficiently by doing things like reducing the time to hire and performing automatic skill matching for job vacancies. It also uses some of that skill matching for existing employees to optimize their engagement, improve productivity, and maximize career growth. All the while, it provides suggested actions so that those tasks are quick, accurate, and easy. In SCM, AI helps predict order cycle times by analyzing historical data and trends, allowing for more accurate planning. It also generates item descriptions automatically and uncovers potential suppliers by analyzing market data, thereby improving efficiency and sourcing decisions. With ERP, it's all about delivering efficiencies and improving strategic contributions. You can use AI to automate some of the core processes and provide guided actions for users in the rest of the processes. This is our recipe for improved efficiency and reduced human error. For example, in Payables, you can use AI features to accelerate and simplify invoice processing and identify duplicate transactions. And in CX, AI helps you to identify which sales leads offer the greatest potential, provides real-time news alerts, and then recommends actions to ensure that reps are working on the right opportunity at the right time and improving conversion to sale. 10:11 Lois: Everyone's heard about AI agents, but I've always wondered how they work.  Sarah: AI agents are a combination of large language models and other advanced technologies that interact with their environments, automate complex tasks, and collaborate with employees in real time. Reasoning capabilities in these LLMs differentiate AI agents from the brittle rules-based automation of the past. Since they can make judgment calls, AI agents can create action plans and manage workflows, either independently or with human supervision. At the core of their functionality is the capability to learn from previous interactions, use data from internal systems, and collaborate with both people and other agents. This ability to continuously adapt makes AI agents particularly valuable for complex business environments, where flexibility and scalability are key. 11:01 Nikita: And how do they work specifically in Fusion Apps? Sarah: Oracle Fusion AI agents are autonomous assistants designed to help organizations streamline operations, improve decision making, and reduce manual workloads. They can assist with simple or complex tasks and work across departments. 11:19 Lois: Sarah, what are the different types of AI agents? Sarah: Functional agents act as digital assistants for different personas within the enterprise and perform domain-specific tasks. Supervisory agents manage other agents, overseeing complex workflows and making decisions on whether human intervention is needed. Utility agents perform routine low-risk tasks such as retrieving data, sending notifications, or running reports. They're often optimized to help with specific roles, so an AI agent or collection of agents might act as a finance clerk, hiring manager, or a customer service representative. 11:54 Nikita: Can you give us some real-world use cases? Sarah: In human resources, agents will assist employees with benefit inquiries and policy clarifications. In finance, agents will automate invoice approvals and help optimize financial workflows. In supply chain management, a field service agent can guide technicians through repairs by providing real-time diagnostic data, troubleshooting steps, and automating orders for parts. In customer experience, the contracts researcher agent enables sales teams to automate routine contract workflows and approvals so they can focus on selling rather than administrative tasks. Oracle Fusion AI agents represent a leap beyond traditional AI. They don't just automate, they collaborate with human workers, making AI agents more than just tools. By integrating advanced AI within business systems, Oracle continues to lead the way in improving productivity and operational efficiency. As AI technology evolves, expect to see even more sophisticated AI agents capable of managing entire business processes autonomously, giving your team the freedom to focus on strategic, high-impact activities. 13:04 Nikita: Thank you so much for taking us through all that, Sarah. We're really excited to have you back next week to continue this discussion.  Lois: And if you liked what you heard today, head over to mylearn.oracle.com and take a look at the free Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Process Essentials courses to learn more.

What happens when AI agents promise to transform accounting but create more cognitive burden than productivity gains? Blake and David explore the reality behind the AI agent hype as QuickBooks, Digits, and Big Four firms launch their "digital teammates." They also dig into Xero's massive $2.5 billion acquisition of Melio and what it means for the payments landscape. You'll learn why managing AI agents might be like managing offshore contractors—you wake up to work that's 80% done but everyone has questions. Plus, they discuss how external investors are reshaping the profession, why traditional CPA protections might go the way of car dealership laws, and the ongoing problems with audit quality enforcement despite millions in PCAOB fines.Sponsors Cloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/cas Human at Scale - http://accountingpodcast.promo/humanChapters(00:00) - Introduction and Welcome (00:42) - David's Return and Big News (01:01) - The Acquisition of Emilio by Xero (01:33) - Implications of the Acquisition (04:52) - David's Journey with Bill Pay Solutions (06:42) - Emilio's Unique Features and Market Impact (10:47) - Xero's New Features and Updates (20:56) - QuickBooks AI Agents: A Game Changer?

 Welcome to the WAB Podcast! In this episode, Kevin Crouch, WAB's Head of EdTech, IT, and Libraries, sat down with three students, Ville from Grade 5, Sophie and Ciara from Grade 7, along with Middle School Principal Marina Frias-Gavidia, to discuss the exciting rollout of Toddle in Middle School next school year. They also talked about how it can facilitate student learning, increase student agency, and incorporate AI-powered support.  Why Toddle?  For the past four years, Toddle has been a cornerstone of learning in the Elementary School, streamlining everything from lesson planning to student portfolios. Now, it's expanding to Middle School, bringing its all-in-one platform to older students.  As Kevin explained, Toddle unites the entire learning process—teachers can plan, assess, and report in one place, while students gain more ownership of their learning through digital portfolios. Unlike Teams or other platforms, Toddle keeps everything connected, ensuring that learning goals, assignments, and feedback stay aligned.  What Students Love About Toddle  Grade 5 student Ville has been a Toddle user for many years, and he highlighted its functions and flexibility:   Rubrics help students self-assess and improve their work.  The Portfolio lets students showcase learning anytime, not just when teachers assign tasks.  Toddle AI acts as a creative assistant, helping brainstorm project ideas.  For Middle Schoolers like Sophie and Ciara, the move to Toddle will mean better organization across their eight subjects.    New Features for Middle School  Kevin pointed out that Toddle has also evolved since some Middle School students last used it. Exciting updates include:  AI-powered tutoring: Students can get instant feedback and practice at their own pace.  Adaptive "Worksheets": Like Education Perfect, but integrated directly into Toddle.  Parent access: While daily classwork stays private, parents can see assignments, feedback, and portfolio posts.  Marina emphasized that Toddle supports personalized learning, whether a student needs extra practice or is ready to advance.  What About Teams?  Sophie and Ciara also wondered whether Teams will still be used. Kevin explained that Teams will remain for school-wide communication, while Toddle becomes the hub for classwork, assignments, and portfolios.  Want to hear the full discussion and get to learn how Toddle can bring more student agency, clearer feedback, and better parent insight? Tune into this episode!

Installing Oracle GoldenGate 23ai is more than just running a setup file—it's about preparing your system for efficient, reliable data replication. In this episode, Lois Houston and Nikita welcome back Nick Wagner to break down system requirements, storage considerations, and best practices for installing GoldenGate.   You'll learn how to optimize disk space, manage trail files, and configure network settings to ensure a smooth installation.   Oracle GoldenGate 23ai: Fundamentals: https://mylearn.oracle.com/ou/course/oracle-goldengate-23ai-fundamentals/145884/237273 Oracle University Learning Community: https://education.oracle.com/ou-community LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/oracle-university/ X: https://x.com/Oracle_Edu   Special thanks to Arijit Ghosh, David Wright, Kris-Ann Nansen, Radhika Banka, and the OU Studio Team for helping us create this episode.   -------------------------------------------------------------   Episode Transcript: 00:00 Welcome to the Oracle University Podcast, the first stop on your cloud journey. During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Nikita: Hello and welcome to Oracle University Podcast! I'm Nikita Abraham, Team Lead of Editorial Services with Oracle University, and I'm joined by Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs.  Lois: Hi there! Last week, we took a close look at the security strategies of Oracle GoldenGate 23ai. In this episode, we'll discuss all aspects of installing GoldenGate. 00:48 Nikita: That's right, Lois. And back with us today is Nick Wagner, Senior Director of Product Management for GoldenGate at Oracle. Hi Nick! I'm going to get straight into it. What are the system requirements for a typical GoldenGate installation? Nick: As far as system requirements, we're going to split that into two sections. We've got an operating system requirements and a storage requirements. So with memory and disk, and I know that this isn't the answer you want, but the answer is that it varies. With GoldenGate, the amount of CPU usage that is required depends on the number of extracts and replicats. It also depends on the number of threads that you're going to be using for those replicats. Same thing with RAM and disk usage. That's going to vary on the transaction sizes and the number of long running transactions. 01:35 Lois: And how does the recovery process in GoldenGate impact system resources?  Nick: You've got two things that help the extract recovery. You've got the bonded recovery that will store transactions over a certain length of time to disk. It also has a cache manager setting that determines what gets written to disk as part of open transactions. It's not just the simple answer as, oh, it needs this much space. GoldenGate also needs to store trail files for the data that it's moving across. So if there's network latency, or if you expect a certain network outage, or you have certain SLAs for the target database that may not be met, you need to make sure that GoldenGate has enough room to store its trail files as it's writing them. The good news about all this is that you can track it. You can use parameters to set them. And we do have some metrics that we'll provide to you on how to size these environments. So a couple of things on the disk usage. The actual installation of GoldenGate is about 1 to 1.5 gig in size, depending on which version of GoldenGate you're going to be using and what database. The trail files themselves, they default to 500 megabytes apiece. A lot of customers keep them on disk longer than they're necessary, and so there's all sorts of purging options available in GoldenGate. But you can set up purge rules to say, hey, I want to get rid of my trail files as soon as they're not needed anymore. But you can also say, you know what? I want to keep my trail files around for x number of days, even if they're not needed. That way they can be rebuilt. I can restore from any previous point in time. 03:15 Nikita: Let's talk a bit more about trail files. How do these files grow and what settings can users adjust to manage their storage efficiently? Nick: The trail files grow at about 30% to 35% of the generated redo log data. So if I'm generating 100 gigabytes of redo an hour, then you can expect the trail files to be anywhere from 30 to 35 gigabytes an hour of generated data. And this is if you're replicating everything. Again, GoldenGate's got so many different options. There's so many different ways to use it. In some cases, if you're going to a distributed applications and analytics environment, like a Databricks or a Snowflake, you might want to write more information to the trail file than what's necessary. Maybe I want additional information, such as when this change happened, who the user was that made that change. I can add specific token data. You can also tell GoldenGate to log additional records or additional columns to the trail file that may not have been changed. So I can always say, hey, GoldenGate, replicate and store the entire before and after image of every single row change to your trail file, even if those columns didn't change. And so there's a lot of different ways to do it there. But generally speaking, the default settings, you're looking at about 30% to 35% of the generated redo log value. System swap can fill up quickly. You do want this as a dedicated disk as well. System swap is often used for just handling of the changes, as GoldenGate flushes data from memory down to disk. These are controlled by a couple of parameters. So because GoldenGate is only writing committed activity to the trail file, the log reader inside the database is actually giving GoldenGate not only committed activity but uncommitted activity, too. And this is so it can stay very high speed and very low latency. 05:17 Lois: So, what are the parameters? Nick: There's a cache manager overall feature, and there's a cache directory. That directory controls where that data is actually stored, so you can specify the location of the uncommitted transactions. You can also specify the cache size. And there's not only memory settings here, but there's also disk settings. So you can say, hey, once a cache size exceeds a certain memory usage, then start flushing to disk, which is going to be slower. This is for systems that maybe have less memory but more high-speed disk. You can optimize these parameters as necessary. 05:53 Nikita: And how does GoldenGate adjust these parameters? Nick: For most environments, you're just going to leave them alone. They're automatically configured to look at the system memory available on that system and not use it all. And then as soon as necessary, it'll overflow to disk. There's also intelligent settings built within these parameters and within the cache manager itself that if it starts seeing a lull in activity or your traditional OLTP type responses to actually free up the memory that it has allocated. Or if it starts seeing more activity around data warehousing type things where you're doing large transactions, it'll actually hold on to memory a little bit longer. So it kinda learns as it goes through your environment and starts replicating data. 06:37 Lois: Is there anything else you think we should talk about before we move on to installing GoldenGate?  Nick: There's a couple additional things you need to think of with the network as well. So when you're deploying GoldenGate, you definitely want it to use the fastest network.  GoldenGate can also use a reverse proxy, especially important with microservices. Reverse proxy, typically we recommend Nginx. And it allows you to access any of the GoldenGate microservices using a single port.  GoldenGate also needs either host names or IP addresses to do its communication and to ensure the system is available. It does a lot of communication through TCP and IP as well as WSS. And then it also handles firewalls. So you want to make sure that the firewalls are open for ingress and egress for GoldenGate, too. There's a couple of different privileges that GoldenGate needs when you go to install it. You'll want to make sure that GoldenGate has the ability to write to the home where you're installing it. That's kind of obvious, but we need to say it anyways. There's a utility called oggca.sh. That's the GoldenGate Configuration Assistant that allows you to set up your first deployments and manage additional deployments. That needs permissions to write to the directories where you're going to be creating the new deployments. The extract process needs connection and permissions to read the transaction logs or backups. This is not important for Oracle, but for non-Oracle it is. And then we also recommend a dedicated database user for the extract and replicat connections. 08:15 Are you keen to stay ahead in today's fast-paced world? We've got your back! Each quarter, Oracle rolls out game-changing updates to its Fusion Cloud Applications. And to make sure you're always in the know, we offer New Features courses that give you an insider's look at all of the latest advancements. Don't miss out! Head over to mylearn.oracle.com to get started. 08:41 Nikita: Welcome back! So Nick, how do we get started with the installation?  Nick: So when we go to the install, the first thing you're going to do is go ahead and go to Oracle's website and download the software. Because of the way that GoldenGate works, there's only a couple moving parts. You saw the microservices. There's five or six of them. You have your extract, your replicat, your distribution service, trail files. There's not a lot of moving components. So if something does go wrong, usually it affects multiple customers. And so it's very important that when you go to install GoldenGate, you're using the most recent bundle patch. And you can find this within My Oracle Support. It's not always available directly from OTN or from the Oracle e-delivery website. You can still get them there, but we really want people going to My Oracle Support to download the most recent version. There's a couple of environment variables and certificates that you'll set up as well. And then you'll run the Configuration Assistant to create your deployments.  09:44 Lois: Thanks, Nick, for taking us though the installation of GoldenGate. Because these are highly UI-driven topics, we recommend that you take a deep dive into the GoldenGate 23ai Fundamentals course, available on mylearn.oracle.com. Nikita: In our next episode, we'll talk about the Extract process. Until then, this is Nikita Abraham… Lois: And Lois Houston signing off! 10:08 That's all for this episode of the Oracle University Podcast.

J-Dog is the former maintainer of Bitcoin's Counterparty protocol – a role which he fulfilled for about 8 years. Under his stewardship, XCP witnessed the creation of legendary collections such as Spells of Genesis, Rare Pepes, and Fake Rares – even my Bitcoin Heads and Leftist Tears were created when he was the lead developer and he provided some useful advice. Today, J-Dog builds the FreeWallet.io Counterparty wallet and the TokenScan.io blockchain explorer (formerly Xchain.io). He maintains opinions which diverge from those of current maintainer Adam Krellenstein (who joined the show in S16 E14) and even claims that the Counterparty protocol was forked at block 866000.

Surprise! We're back to season four with a very special 66th episode. We're joined by Aidan Moher to discuss his upcoming book on Suikoden and Suikoden II and listen to some of Aidan's thoughts on Suikoden I&II HD Remaster. In finer detail, that includes: accepting Suikoden pronunciations, measuring Suikoden's place in RPG history, wondering if RPG sequels have a place in today's game space, exiting battles in five seconds, filling a world with life and activity, totaling the cost of violence, interpreting Suikoden differently as adults, comfortably adjusting to sprite changes, making questionable decisions about what to remaster and what to leave behind, failing a background check, experiencing existential dread in a remastered Pizza Hut, smoothing out some legends of localization, and remaining true to piss. You must still Determine or Cancel.
