5.14 New OBMA Collateral Utilization Services based on Helidon & Coherence

Existing utilization services for Collateral and Collateral Pool have been migrated to Oracle Banking Microservices Architecture (OBMA) based Helidon and Coherence services.

Helidon is a cloud-native, open-source framework for writing Java micro services that run on a fast web core powered by Netty.

Coherence stores frequently accessed data as serialized key-value pairs in JVM cluster with automatic sharding. Coherence ensures maximum scalability and performance by providing clustered low-latency data storage that enables multiple applications to rapidly read and write data.

Customers have the option to adopt the new collateral utilization services by enabling the coherence flag in GEDPARAM. However, existing customers who prefer to continue using the old utilization services can do so without making any configuration changes.

The product is packaged with Oracle Coherence Enterprise Edition under a Restricted Use License (RUL). Depending on the volumes, customers may need to increase their RAM capacity and utilize Solid State Drives (SSDs) for coherence cluster backups.
