About the project

Challenge, approach and results.

The diploma thesis focused on the development of information solutions in the low-code development environment Oracle Apex, where an upgrade was made to the existing central solution for identity and access management IAM. The theoretical foundation presents low-code development environments. The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of developing information solutions in low-code environments was described, and the implementation of an intelligent AI assistant service was presented through an example. During the upgrade of the information solution, it was found that low-code development environments enable rapid development of simpler solutions or application prototypes, without the need for programming knowledge. However, for more complex upgrades, knowledge of a programming language is required.

Problem

The diploma thesis focused on the development of information solutions in the low-code development environment Oracle Apex, where an upgrade was made to the existing central solution for identity and access management IAM. The theoretical foundation presents low-code development environments. The Oracle Apex environment was highlighted, which is based on the Oracle relational database and uses the SQL and PL/SQL programming languages.

Solution and Method

The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of developing information solutions in low-code environments was described, and the implementation of an intelligent AI assistant service was presented through an example. The main characteristics of identity and access management (IAM) systems were analysed, highlighting the key business processes that these systems support. Audit trails were also described and their significance was presented.

Audit trail logging was then built into the selected business process by extending the existing programme library. An AI assistant was also added, which generates queries and responses about audit trails based on a given plain-language prompt.

Results

During the upgrade of the information solution, it was found that low-code development environments enable rapid development of simpler solutions or application prototypes, without the need for programming knowledge. However, for more complex upgrades, knowledge of a programming language is required. In their case, primarily knowledge of the SQL and PL/SQL languages.

It was confirmed that the IAM central solution enables transparent and controlled access to functionality in information solutions. It was also confirmed that historical tables alone do not enable oversight of business event execution. After implementing generative AI solutions, the efficiency criteria were used to analyse and determine that the OpenAI service is more efficient than the Cohere service in the example from this diploma thesis.
