SUBOPiere Enterprise Enhancements
SUBOPiere is our distribution of the current iDempiere release, packed with additional enterprise capabilities. Most of these enterprise enhancements are a result of simply utilizing the full power of the Oracle products embedded in SU BOP, primarily the Oracle Database EE 23ai, but also WebLogic and Coherence 14.1.2 and other Fusion Middleware products.
Below are the enterprise enhancements coming soon to SUBOPiere:
Very Large Database Performance
Performance tuning can be a critical factor for iDempiere for large data sets and/or many concurrent users. Our world-class Oracle performance tuning experts systematically ensure amazing performance when handling billions of rows and/or hundreds of thousands of concurrent users running iDempiere on the Oracle Database EE 23ai.
Apex UI
We like the current iDempiere UI, but we believe that an alternative UI built using Oracle Apex may be an attractive option for some customers, especially those already using Apex applications. The Apex Application Builder is very declarative - it stores app metadata in database tables, enabling automatic page generation directly from the iDempiere AD.
BPM
Apex itself has simple workflow and approval functionality, probably on the level of Idempiere Workflow.
There is also a SU BOP BPM module, based on Oracle BPM 14.1.2, capable of easily satisfying most demanding BPM by executable BMN2 diagrams.
Ubiquitous Search
With this new functionality in Oracle 23c, it is extremely easy to create a full text index on a set of tables with all or just selected columns. This provides a Google-like search, with no programming. Lexical stemming currently supports 50 languages.
Online Transaction BI (OTBI)
Thanks to extreme database performance of SU BOP and having the Active Data Guard option included in SU BOP Enterprise Core bundle, it is not necessary to do ETL from iDempiere to our data warehouse – it is easy to run most complex BI queries directly on transactional tables on the active standby server, without affecting the performance of OLTP running on the primary server.
High Availability + Disaster Recovery
We use Active Data Guard by default. It is also very easy to configure a Globally Distributed Database, with sharding and efficient master-master replication. That also enables data sovereignty.
Machine Learning and Data Mining
Database does it, directly on data.
Generative AI
Apex supports declarative building of generative AI regions.
Property Graphs
High performance PGQL and SQL:2023 support.
Spatial
Just put geo coordinates to columns of type SDO, and you get an instant GIS.
JSON Relational Duality
Easy to declare JSON views on top of a hierarchy of relational tables, and then insert, update or delete JSON documents in these views, having the DML automatically propagated to underlaying tables, behaving as a single DML statement. With Flex columns ingesting any undeclared JSON, and possibility to have native JSON in any column, you have all the JSON schema flexibility you may need.
REST API
Any table or JSON Relational Duality view can be automatically REST enabled, so building a REST API for anything in Idempiere becomes trivial.
Kafka integration
The Database directly supports connections with Kafka.
Real Application Security
The database supports the most complex authentication and authorization schemes using various external systems, including SU BOP Security (based on Oracle IAM).
It is easy to define Roles and ACLs with rules for accessing the data in the database.
Blockchain
Special blockchain tables enable the simple development of custom blockchain ledgers.
W3C Verifiable Credentials
We have developed a PL/SQL module for issuing and verifying zero knowledge proofs based on the W3C VC standard.
Secure Files
A file system within the database, ideal for DMS and storing attachments.
