What is AIA<br />Oracle’s approach to implementing SOA<br />Tools<br />Process model decomposition -> Project Lifecycle Workbench<br />Service construction -> JDeveloper plug-in<br />Deployment plan generation<br />Deployment<br />Canonical Model with XSD’s and WSDL’s<br />Error Hospital for Business and Systems Faults<br />Testing and simulation of Services<br />

10.
AIA Foundation Pack and PIPs<br />

11.
AIA Example<br />An AIA process is not 1 compositewithsome service componentslike BPEL, Mediator and HumanTasks<br />

12.
AIA Process steps<br />Let’sbuildan AIA processbyfollowing the next steps<br />Define a new Project, Business Tasks and Service SolutionComponents<br />IdentifyingyourEnterprise B. Object(XSD) and Services (WSDL) <br />Building Composites<br />Adapters<br />Application Business Connector Services (ABCS)<br />Enterprise Business Services (EBS)<br />Enterprise Business Flow (EBF)<br />AnnotateyourComposites<br />HarvestyourComposites to LifecycleWorkbench<br />Bill of Material (BOM)<br />Generate a Deployment Plan from the generated BOM<br />Deployment of the Resource Adapters, Composites & AIA Configuration<br />Testingyour AIA processwith the Composite Application Validation System (CAVS)<br />ErrorHospitalfor System and Business Faults<br />

13.
Creating a new Project<br />url = http://xxxx/AIA/faces/aiaHomeLogin.jspx<br />Go to the Project LifecycleWorkbenchapplication<br />

14.
Add a Project with Business Tasks<br />Define a new Project withoneor more Business Tasks<br />

15.
Service SolutionComponents<br />Forcesyou to thinkaboutyourprocess and split up the project in SOA Composites<br />

16.
Enterprise Business Object EBO<br />AIA has manypre-defined business data object<br />Identify and optionalextend the XSDsyou want to use<br />

17.
Enterprise Business Message EBM<br />AIA contains an EBM for every Enterprise Business Object<br />EBMs are the messages that are exchanged between two applications<br />Has XSD elements for Operation input and response<br />Has an EBM Header for tracing and routing information<br />

18.
Enterprise Business Service EBS<br />Has many Web service definitions for performing a business task<br />Identify the Service Operations you want to use<br />

19.
Building Composites<br />Start from the Destination Application -> Source Application<br />This way you can deploy and test your composite with SoapUI<br />Have a service definition for the next composite who use this WSDL as a reference<br />Source<br />Destination<br />Scott<br />Employee<br />HR<br />Employee<br />ABCS<br />Provider<br />ABCS<br />Requester<br />EBF<br />EBS<br />EBS<br />Application Adapter<br />Application Adapter<br />

20.
Application Adapters<br />Choose your application adapter, like a DB or AQ/JMS Adapter<br />Expose this Adapter as a Service with your own Application XSD and WSDL<br />Add the adapter WSDL and XSD to the AIA DB MDS<br />Transformation<br />Generated DB adapter XSD<br />Own Application<br />XSD<br />

21.
Application Business Connector Services<br />Generated by the AIA Service Constructor<br />Always BPEL when Stateful or Asynchronous<br />Tasks ABCS<br />Validation<br />Transformations like message translation, content enrichment<br />Invoking application operations<br />Error handling<br />Security<br />

22.
ABCS Creation (Provider side)<br />Start the AIA Service Constructor in JDeveloper<br />Connect to the AIA Lifecycle Workbench and select the ABCS from the Service Solution Components<br />

23.
ABCS Service<br />Select the EBS WSDL from the MDS connection ( Resource Palette)<br />Choose the operation<br />

24.
ABCS Reference<br />Enable Error handling<br />Enable Testing Simulation<br />Select the Application Adapter WSDL<br />

25.
ABCS Composite<br />EBS Service with the QueryPerson operation, a BPEL component and an Application Adapter & AIA Error handling as Reference<br />

26.
ABCS BPEL Flow<br />Read and Fill the EBM Header<br />Add some Tracing information<br />Set the endpoint to Application Adapter or Test Simulator<br />

27.
ABCS Exception Handling<br />Can handle Adapter failures<br />

28.
Enterprise Business Services<br />Can be a Mediator or an OSB Proxy<br />

29.
Enterprise Business Flow<br />Implements the Business activity<br />Can be BPM or BPEL<br />Long running<br />Can contain Human Tasks & Business Rules<br />Raise Business Faults to Error Hospital<br />Calls EBS Services<br />

30.
EBF Composite<br />Has EBS references and is called by an EBS Composite<br />Has an AIA Error handler reference for Business Faults<br />

31.
EBF Business Fault Example<br />Check if an Employee already exists if so raise a Business Fault<br />

32.
Annotate your Composites<br />Add annotations to Composite, Services and References elements ( composite.xml ) <br />Will be used by the Harvester utility<br />This data will be used in the deployment plan generator<br />

33.
Reference Annotations<br />Added to the AIA DB Resource Adapter <br />

34.
Harvester<br />Read the Composites Annotations<br />Optionally Publish to Oracle Enterprise Repository<br />Updates the project service components (Lifecycle workbench)<br />Create HarvesterSetting.xml and start AIAHarvest.bat<br />

35.
Bills of Materials<br />Go to the AIA Lifecycle Workbench<br />Generate the Bill of Materials of your project<br />

36.
Export Bills of Materials<br />Optional -> change or add composites<br />Export BOM.xml<br />

37.
Generate Deployment Plan<br />Start the ANT Deployment Plan Generator <br /> ( AIADeploymentPlanGenerator.xml )<br />Bill of Materials ( BOM.xml ) willbeused as input<br />

38.
Deployment Plan<br />A XML which is read by the ANT Deployment Utility Can create, configure or deploy the following:<br />JDBC Datasources<br />JMS Resources<br />MDS update<br />Start & shutdown WLS Server<br />Resource Adapters AQ, DB, JMS<br />EAR & WARS<br />Composites<br />See my blog for more information http://biemond.blogspot.com/2011/02/do-your-soa-deployments-configuration.html<br />

39.
Deployment configuration<br />JDBC Datasource<br />JMS Queue<br />Update MDS<br />Shutdown Managed Server<br />Add an entry to the DB<br />Resource adapter<br />Deploy a WAR<br />Deploy a Composite<br />

40.
Enterprise Manager & AIA<br />With SOA Suite 11g you can still follow the instance through all the <br />AIA Composites <br />

41.
Error Handling<br />Two types of faults<br />System / Adapter Faults which are captured by the ABCS ( Generated by the JDeveloper Service Constructor)<br />Business Faults can be thrown in the EBF Composite (Developer Task)<br />

42.
Error Handling - Configuration<br />Defined in the AIAConfigurationProperties.xml located in the MDS<br />Enabling Tracing<br />Define your own error handling class<br />Enable BPM Worklist<br />Enable Email notification<br />

43.
Error Handling - Notifications<br /><ul><li>Go to http://xxxx/AIA/faces/aiaHomeLogin.jspx

44.
Click on the Go button in the Setup window

45.
Configure actions for a particular fault</li></li></ul><li>Error Handling - BPM Worklist<br />Business and System Faults<br />shown in the BPM Worklist Application which has an ADF Task Flow for the Task details<br />

46.
Composite Application Validation System<br />Go to http://xxxx/AIA/faces/aiaHomeLogin.jspx<br />Press the Go button in the CAVS window<br />What can CAVS do for you<br />Create tests and validate responses<br />Simulate Adapter services in ABCS<br />Group Tests<br />Combine Test and Simulators with Routing<br />Import / Export Definitions<br />For more informationseemyblogpost<br />http://biemond.blogspot.com/2011/03/test-your-services-with-aia-cavs.html<br />

47.
CAVS Definitions<br />

48.
CAVS Test<br />Load the WSDL and select the operation<br />Define 1 or more Requests<br />Define 1 or more Responses and Generate Xpath<br />Add Expected Node Values<br />

49.
CAVS Simulator<br />Define requests, Generate XPath and set a unique identifier so the matching response can be returned<br />Provide the matching Response<br />

50.
Add Simulator onan ABCS reference<br />

51.
CAVS Routing<br />Activates CAVS Simulators<br />Canbeused in a CAVS Test<br />

52.
Conclusion<br /><ul><li>AIA is a lot of work and it can really help you in building complete and reliable SOA processes</li></ul>Complete Deployment framework<br />A lot of XSDs and WSDLs you can use<br />Error Hospital which handles Business and Adapters Fault<br />Testing and simulation of Services<br />Build you own PIP build on AIA and sell it for big Money to Oracle <br />
