Madhu's OSB & SOA blog: Oracle Application Integration Architecture 11g Installation Guide

Introduction to AIA Foundation Pack:

The Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) Foundation Pack: Development Guide defines in detail how you can use the Oracle AIA Foundation Pack to conceptualize AIA projects and, using the AIA FP Project Lifecycle Management application, implement a solution conforming to the AIA FP in a structured fashion based on a functional design document. You can use this guide to implement additional functionalities in the form of new services extending the AIA Process Integration Packs (PIP) functionalities.

Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA FP) is a complete integration solution for orchestrating agile, user-centric, business processes across enterprise applications. AIA FP offers prebuilt solutions at the data, process, and user interface levels delivering a complete process solution to business end users. All of the AIA FP components are designed to work together in a mix-and-match fashion. They are built for configurability, ultimately helping to lower IT costs and the burden of building, extending, and maintaining integrations.

Powered by Oracle Fusion Middleware, AIA FP enables organizations to utilize the applications of their choice and create Composite Business Processes (CBPs) following these guiding principles that define the ground rules for development, maintenance, and usage of a service-oriented architecture (SOA):

1. Reuse, granularity, modularity, compose ability, componentization, and interoperability.

2. Standards-compliance (both common and industry-specific).

3. Service identification and categorization, provisioning and delivery, and monitoring and tracking.

With AIA FP, business processes can be engineered according to the following types of integrations:

1. User Interface Integration

A User Interface Integration connects disparate systems to provide a unified view to the user. It is a single view to many heterogeneous systems that are integrated at the user-interface level. It significantly increases the productivity to the end user by eliminating the need for the user to toggle back and forth between these systems. For example, in the Siebel Order Capture application, the order configuration capability of the Oracle E-Business Suite application has been embedded. Although this approach provides a unified approach to the users, there is no aggregation of data at the applications level.

2. Data Integration

A Data Integration connects at the logical level of data, making the same data available to more than one application. This is accomplished by relying upon database technologies. This type of integration is a good candidate when there is a minimal amount of business logic to be reused across applications.

2. Functional Integration

A Functional Integration connects applications at the business-logic layer. This type of integration is a good candidate when there is a need for reuse of functionality, such as business logic or processing.

4. Process Integration

A Process Integration is primarily accomplished by exposing object interfaces that can be consumed by other systems, by using message-oriented middleware (MOM) systems to send messages to the destinations, or by exposing web service interfaces that can be consumed by the clients.

1. Oracle AIA FP Installation on windows 7 64 bit:

1.1. Go to AIA FP Patch Setup file location inside we have win64bit click on setup file.

1.2. Next enter JDK location click on enter.

1.3. Welcome Screen click on next.

1.4. Create AIA FP Home folder in middleware.

1.5. Select AIA Home location and give AIA Instance name, select JDK location click on next.

1.6. Enter SOA Server Details click on next.

1.7. Next we need start the Node manager from web logic server.

1.8. Start the Node Manager.

1.9. Node manager running on 5556 port.

1.10. Server Validation ok click on next otherwise retry.

1.11. Next enter DB details for AIA FP Schemas.

1.12. Enter MDS details.

1.13. Click on next this screen is optional if you have OER provide details.

1.14. Click on install button.

2. Configuration progress

3. End Processes

Note: SOA Server Shut Down itself .after few minutes it will restart otherwise we need restart manual.

Any Java related Process are running close the process remove lok files and temp, cache from our servers.

Note: Don’t close javaw.exe..Because this is related to our setup file.

3.1. AIA FP Configuration success.

4. AIA Console

4.1 we can open AIA FP Console from below link.

http://localhost:8001/AIA

4.2 AIA FP Home Page:

5. AIA FP Adapter Starts from Console:

SOA Domain Configured in development mode we need to start the AIA FP Adapters manually.

Go to Admin Console -> click on Deployments ->start AIA FP related Adapters (AIA_AQ, AIA_JMS, AIA_DB, AIA_OracleApps).

6. AIA Foundation Pack Service Constructor for JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0:

This extension creates Application Integration Architecture (AIA FP) Service Constructor to create an AIA FP based service component project. This extension is an online JDeveloper update. Start JDeveloper. From the menu choose Help > Check for Updates. In the Update Wizard, select Search Update Centers and ensure the first and second options are checked (screenshot). Then ensure that Oracle AIA Foundation Pack Service Constructor is checked.

Step1: Open Oracle JDeveloper go to help ->click on check for Updates.
