Oracle AIA 11g Installation and Configuration

Oracle AIA Overview

Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) is a complete integration solution for orchestrating agile, user-centric, business processes across enterprise applications. AIA offers prebuilt solutions at the data, process, and user interface levels delivering a complete process solution to business end users. All of the AIA 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 enables organizations to use 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):
·    Reuse, granularity, modularity, compose ability, componentization, and  interoperability.
·    Standards-compliance (both common and industry-specific).
·    Service identification and categorization, provisioning and delivery, and monitoring and tracking.

AIA Features

AIA Foundation Packs provide the methodology and framework along with the content that is critical for customers to figure out their integration problems.

Integration Styles
The following sections provide details about each of these integration styles:
  • Data-centric integration
  • Integration through native interfaces
  • Integration through Web services
  • Reference data query
  • Process-centric integration


What are AIA Conceptual Services?
AIA Conceptual Services are developed using Oracle Fusion Middleware technologies. They constitute the service portfolio for the SOA implementation and enable the following:
·    Reuse, granularity, modularity, composeability, componentization, and interoperability
·    Standards-compliance (both common and industry-specific)
·    Service identification and categorization, provisioning and delivery, and monitoring and tracking
AIA Conceptual Services are categorized into Process Services, Activity Services, Data Services, Connector Services, and Infrastructure Services.

  • Start the Node Manager using the below mention command.
<Middleware_Home>\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\startNodeManager.cmd
  • Configure / Connect the Server with LocalMachine using the below mention command.
<Middleware_Home>\wlserver_10.3\common\bin\WLST.cmd
nmConnect('weblogic','welcome1','<Server_name>','5556','SOA_domain')


  • After configured node Manager you need to connect the Admin Server and SOA Server using the below mention command.
nmStart('AdminServer')
nmStart('soa_server1')
