Run-time service information is not automatically available in Oracle Enterprise Repository after AIA Foundation Pack installation. Populating this information is a post-install activity.

For more information about adopting Oracle Enterprise Repository after AIA Foundation Pack has been installed, see "Harvesting Oracle AIA Content" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack.

2.2 Performing Pre-Installation Configurations

This section discusses the recommended configurations to optimize Oracle SOA Suite performance and enable your AIA Foundation Pack implementation to run smoothly. This section includes the following topics:

Section 2.2.1, "Enabling Unicode Support"

Section 2.2.2, "Ensuring Correct Settings for Node Manager Startup"

Section 2.2.3, "Performing Prerequisites for Cluster Installation"

Section 2.2.4, "Creating AIA schemas (Optional)"

Section 2.2.5, "Administering MDS Tablespace"

2.2.1 Enabling Unicode Support

For information see section Enabling Unicode Support in Oracle Fusion Middleware Quick Installation Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Business Process Management Suite.

2.2.2 Ensuring Correct Settings for Node Manager Startup

To ensure correct settings for Node Manager startup:

Navigate to the $MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/common/nodemanager.

Open the nodemanager.properties file and verify the value for StartScriptEnabled property.

If it is false change to StartScriptEnabled=true

If you changed the above value, restart Node Manager by navigating to $MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/bin and using the appropriate commands.

While starting the node manager, ensure that you set the listen address different from localhost. It is preferred to give the fully qualified name of the system.

For Example: ./startNodeManager.sh for Linux and startNodeManager.bat for Microsoft Windows.

Before running the command, navigate to the WebLogic console, click Machines, Nodemanager. Here ensure that the value of Listen address and Listen port are the fully qualified name of the system and port number respectively.

Ensure that you start the SOA Server using the Node manager.

To ensure correct settings for Node Manager startup in production environment:

Check whether the node manager service is active from Oracle WebLogic Admin server Console. If your node manager is not active in the admin console, refer to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs92/server_start/nodemgr.html for troubleshooting.

2.2.3 Performing Prerequisites for Cluster Installation

To perform prerequisites for cluster installation:

Open admin console

Click View Changes and Restart in Change Center.

Click Restart Checklist.

Ensure that there is no admin server or any of the soa_servers of the cluster on the restart checklist.

If there are any servers listed, restart the mentioned server.

If you are installing only Foundation Pack on cluster, then:

Open the <WebTier_HOME>/instances/<instances_name>/config/OHS/ohs1/mod_wl_ohs.conf file.

Add the following code.

<Location /AIA>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster <machine1_hostname>:<port>,<machine2_hostname>:<port>
WLLogFile /tmp/web_log.log
</Location>
<Location /AIAValidationSystemServlet>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster <machine1_hostname>:<port>,<machine2_hostname>:<port>
WLLogFile /tmp/web_log.log
</Location>

When you set up the SOA cluster following the instructions in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle SOA Suite, the following entry gets added

 # UMS prefs
<Location /sdpmessaging/userprefs-ui>
 SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster <machine1_hostname>:<port>,<machine2_hostname>:<port>
</Location>
sdpmessaging/

Change the location to /sdpmessaging from /sdpmessaging/userprefs-ui

2.2.4 Creating AIA schemas (Optional)

AIA Foundation Pack Installer gives you the flexibility to choose the schema name, password along with the default and temporary tablespace on which the schemas have to be created.

In addition to that, AIA Foundation Pack enables you to create AIA Schemas and other DB artifacts in a manner that best fits your organization standards and advanced database options. AIA schemas along with the database artifacts can be created using the SQL script templates shipped with the AIA Foundation Pack installation bundle under <shiphome>/cd/Disk1/misc/sql of your AIA Foundation Pack Installation CD. These SQL scripts should be executed for creating the schemas before launching the Installer.

Follow the below steps before you launch the installer.

Create AIA, XREF, AIALIFECYCLE, JMS schemas. The scripts located under <shiphome>/cd/Disk1/misc/sql folder that is, createAIASchema.sql, createJMSSchema.sql, createLifecycleSchema.sql, createXRefSchema.sql can be used as templates to create the schemas.

Execute populate data scripts as described below:

populateAIASchema.sql against AIA schema.

populateJMSSchema.sql against JMS schema.

populateLifecycleSchema.sql against AIALIFECYCLE schema.

Execute SOA_HOME/rcu/integration/soainfra/sql/xref/createschema_xref_oracle.sql against XREF Schema.

After you finish the above process, launch the installer and in the Database Details Screen, choose Connect To option to connect to the schema that was created. For other schema types for which the SQL scripts were not executed manually choose the Create New Schema option.

2.2.5 Administering MDS Tablespace

AIA Foundation Pack loads a lot of data to MDS as a part of deployment. The default tablespace allocated may not be sufficient when multiple repetitive AIA Foundation Pack deployments are done on the same server. This may cause the error

"Unable to extend tablespace "

If you see the message you can increase the tablespace size.

If you have cleared a large amount of data from a data object, and expect the tablespace to have more data, you may still see this error. The tablespace release is not synchronous, and you must run command ALTER TABLE table_name SHRINK SPACE.

2.3 Installation Process

To install Foundation Pack using AIA Foundation Pack Installer, go to Chapter 3, "Installing and Deploying Using AIA Foundation Pack Installer".

To install Foundation Pack by running manual scripts, go to Chapter 4, "Installing and Deploying using Manual Steps".

If you are installing AIA Foundation Pack for the first time, Oracle recommends that you use AIA Foundation Pack Installer.

3 Installing and Deploying Using AIA Foundation Pack Installer

There are several installation and deployment topologies possible using AIA Foundation Pack Installer. This chapter discusses how to install and deploy the Foundation Pack using basic, remote and cluster installation options, perform silent installation of AIA Foundation Pack or copy only AIA file without installing or deploying Foundation Pack.

This chapter includes the following sections:

The validation process takes a few minutes.

Click Next.

Note:

If the validation fails you can either retry validation or skip and move to the next screen.

3.1.6 Specify AIA Database Details

To specify AIA database details:

Enter database connection details and create new schema or connect to an existing schema using the AIA Database Details screen, as shown in Figure 3-1.

This screen enables you to configure multiple schema types at the same time. You can provide input to the fields in several iterations or all at once.

In each iteration select only the schema type(s) that must be configured. You can select one or more or all schema type(s) at a time.

The schema names are automatically prefixed to the AIAInstance name. To change the schema name to another schema name, click in the table, modify and press Enter in your keyboard.

Important:

The option to change the schema name is useful when you make two installations pointing to the same database schema. For example when you have an existing AIA1_XREF schema which was created using an earlier run of the installation and want to connect to the same in this installation (for which AIA Instance is AIA2), the default value that appears is AIA2_XREF. Modify this value in the table to AIA1_XREF and then use the Connect to schema option.

After you choose the schema types, provide the Database Connection Details and Schema Details for the selected schema types.

If you have not configured all schema types, clear the configured schema types and select a new set of schema types and provide information for the same. You must provide information for all schema types.

Note:

3.2 Performing Silent Installation and Deployment of Foundation Pack

The Silent Installation option helps you install Foundation Pack without the use of the GUI based Installer.

To perform a silent Foundation Pack installation, you invoke the Installer with the -silent flag and provide a response file from the command line. The response file is a text file containing variables and parameter values (validations) that provide answers to Installer prompts.

This section includes the following tasks for the silent installation of Foundation Pack.

Section 3.2.1, "Creating Oracle Inventory"

Section 3.2.2, "Creating a Response File"

Section 3.2.3, "Installing Foundation Pack (Running Installation Scripts)"

3.2.1 Creating Oracle Inventory

For UNIX based Installations

AIA Foundation Pack Installer uses the Oracle inventory directory to keep track of all Oracle products that are installed on the systems. The inventory directory is stored in a file named oraInst.loc. If this file does not exist on your system, you must create it before starting a silent installation.

To create the oraInst.loc file:

Log in as root user.

Use a text editor such as vi or emacs and create the oraInst.loc file in any directory.

Added the following two lines:

inventory_loc=oui_inventory_directory

inst_group=oui_install_group

Replace oui_inventory_directory with the full path to the directory where you want the AIA Foundation Pack Installer to create the inventory directory.

Replace oui_install_group with the name of the group whose members have write permissions to this directory.

Exit from the root user.

For Windows based installations

If you have not installed AIA on your system, then you must create the following Registry key and value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Oracle / inst_loc = [inventory_directory]

Replace inventory_directory with the full path to your installer files. For example: C:Program Files\Oracle\Inventory.

3.2.2 Creating a Response File

Response files are text files that contain information related to validations required for installation of Foundation Pack. Before you perform a silent installation, you must create a response file. You can create response files in either of the two ways:

Modify the response file template SampleAIAFP_CompleteResponse.rsp available in the installation media under the cd/Disk1 /misc/responseFiles.

Enter validation information in the AIA Foundation Pack Installer wizard and click Save when you complete installation in the Installation Summary screen.

For details, see Section 3.1.10, "Complete Installation".

3.2.2.1 Securing Response File

Your response files can contain passwords and other key information required by the Installer. To minimize security issues, AIA recommends the following guidelines:

Set the permissions on the response files so that they are readable only by the operating system user who is performing the silent installation.

Remove the response files from the system after the silent installation is completed.

3.2.3 Installing Foundation Pack (Running Installation Scripts)

To run the installation script:

Navigate to cd/Disk1

Run the command to initiate installation. Table 3-2 lists the commands that you must use based on your platform.

4 Installing and Deploying using Manual Steps

This chapter provides an overview of manual deployment of AIA artifacts and discusses how to deploy AIA artifacts manually without using the installer.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Section 4.1, "Manual Deployment of AIA Artifacts Overview"

Section 4.2, "Deploying Foundation Pack Using Scripts"

Note:

Ensure that you access the latest Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation and Upgrade Guide for Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) on Oracle Technology Network at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/index.html.

Ensure that you review the release notes for Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) available on Oracle Technology Network at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/docs/aiasoarelnotes-196861.html.

4.1 Manual Deployment of AIA Artifacts Overview

Manual deployment of AIA delivered products is not a common scenario unless there is a need to do automation. You can do a manual installation after you Copy AIA Files using AIA Foundation Pack Installer and execute the Installation driver. This is explained in this chapter.

You can also deploy fully or partially build AIA content.

For information on how to deploy custom built services, refer to "Generating Deployment Plans and Deploying Artifacts" in Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack.

Installing fully or partially custom-built AIA content is a more common scenario. This mode of installation enables you to select the specific AIA components (SOA Composites, JMS queues, and so on) you want to install and deploy. This content could be fully custom-built content for a specific business integration scenario or a combination of custom built content and Oracle AIA delivered content.

AIA makes available all tools and utilities required to build your custom installation. These are the same tools used by Oracle to deliver pre-built integrations, Foundation Pack and the AIA Demo. These tools allow you to focus on the "what-to-deploy" and not the "how-to-deploy", thereby allowing custom content to be deployed easily and in the same manner as AIA recommends.

AIA Project Lifecycle Workbench enables you to manage your project. Using this application you can define your custom content, browse existing content, and create and maintain an AIA project. After a project is defined you can select all elements or a subset of elements to auto generate a deployment plan. The deployment tool deploys this plan to the specified servers.

4.2 Deploying Foundation Pack Using Scripts

Perform the following steps to complete manual deployment of Foundation Pack.

4.2.1 Fulfill Prerequisites for Script Based Deployment

To fulfill the prerequisites for script based deployment of Foundation Pack configure the following environment variables:

Set MW_HOME (where you have installed FMW 11g).

Set SOA_HOME to the directory where you have installed SOA 11g. For example c:\MW_HOME\AS11gR1SOA.

Set AIA_HOME to the directory where you have copied AIA software. For example d:\AIA_HOME.

Set JAVA_HOME to directory where you have installed Java.

Set ANT_OPTS="-Xms512m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m".

Set ORACLE_HOME=$SOA_HOME.

Set WEBLOGIC_HOME=$MW_HOME/wlserver_10.3.

Set HARVESTER_HOME=$AIA_HOME/Infrastructure/LifeCycle/AIAHarvester.

Set ANT_HOME=$AIA_HOME/ant.

Set PATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ANT_HOME/bin:$PATH.

Set CLASSPATH=.:$WEBLOGIC_HOME/server/lib/weblogic.jar:$AIA_HOME/lib/aia.jar:$MW_HOME/modules/net.sf.antcontrib_1.0.0.0_1-0b2/lib/ant-contrib.jar:$MW_HOME/oracle_common/modules/oracle.osdt_11.1.1/osdt_xmlsec.jar:${MW_HOME}/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jps_11.1.1/jps-ee.jar:$MW_HOME/oracle_common/modules/oracle.xdk_11.1.0/xmlparserv2.jar:$CLASSPATH.

4.2.2 Create AIA Instance

To create AIA instance:

Copy AIAHome/Infrastructure/Install/templates/AIAInstallProperties.xml.tmpl to AIAHome/config/AIAInstallProperties.xml.

Update AIAInstallProperties.xml to reflect to target server details.

Navigate to AIAHome/Infrastructure/Install/AID.

Run the following command to create an AIA Instance:

ant -f AIACreateInstance.xml -DPropertiesFile=<location of the AIAInstallProperties.xml file>

4.2.3 Run Installation Scripts

To run the installation script:

Navigate to AIA_HOME/aia_instances/<instance_name>/bin.

Run the command

. aiaenv.sh (for UNIX based)
aiaenv.bat (for windows)

Navigate to AIA_HOME/Infrastructure/Install/AID.

Run the following command to initiate installation:

ant -f  AIAInstallDriver.xml
-DPropertiesFile=$AIA_HOME/aia_instances/<Instance
Name>/config/AIAInstallProperties.xml
-logfile $AIA_HOME/aia_instances/<Instance Name>/logs/FPInstall.log
-DDeploymentPlan=$AIA_HOME/aia_instances/<Instance
Name>/config/FPInstallDP.xml

Verify the installation using steps in the Verifying the Installation chapter.

5 Post-Installation Configurations

This chapter discusses how to set up Oracle JDeveloper, how to set up AIA Roles, how to modify passwords used for AIA deployments, how to add Foundation Pack content to a new node of an existing SOA cluster after installing Foundation Pack.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Section 5.1, "Setting up Oracle JDeveloper 11g for AIA"

Section 5.2, "Setting up AIA Roles"

Section 5.3, "Modifying Passwords Used for AIA Deployments"

Section 5.4, "Adding Foundation Pack Content to a New Node of an Existing SOA cluster Install"

5.1 Setting up Oracle JDeveloper 11g for AIA

Oracle JDeveloper enables you to modify AIA delivered content, or develop and deploy custom AIA content. AIA uses custom XPath functions and it is necessary to import these into the JDeveloper library. You can import these using either of the following procedures:

In JDeveloper, navigate to Tools, Preferences, SOA and add the library aia.jar. The aia.jar is available under AIA_HOME/lib directory

If you download the AIA plugin from update center to use AIA service constructor, navigate into Tools, Preferences, SOA and add <JDEV_HOME>/jdeveloper/lib/aia.jar to make the functions available to all projects.

Now you can modify AIA delivered processes.

All SOA Composites delivered with AIA products include the JDeveloper projects (.jpr files) along with the source code.

To modify AIA delivered processes:

Copy the content from AIAHOME to the JDeveloper workspace.

All AIA delivered composites are available in AIA_HOME and also include the JDeveloper projects (.jpr files). Copy this content to JDeveloper workspace.

Modify the composites as per your requirements.

Deploy the composites from the JDeveloper context menu.

Review your changes and copy the contents back to AIA_HOME to the same folder where you copied it from.

This ensures that the modified code is made available to subsequent deployments in other environments.

Note:

If you are maintaining source control for AIA_HOME contents, you must check-in code to version control at this stage.

5.2 Setting up AIA Roles

To set up AIA roles on WebLogic server:

Login to the WebLogic server using the appropriate port http://<hostname>:<port number>/console

Click Security Realms on the left panel.

Click myrealm (or the realm with true in the Default Realm column) in the list.

Click the Users and Groups tab.

Click the Groups tab.

Add the following roles (in JDeveloper they are Roles; in WebLogic Server they are Groups)

For AIA Lifecycle:

AIALifecycleUser

Assigning users to this role enables them to access all aspects of the Project Lifecycle Workbench, excluding bill of material generation. Typically, you would assign this role to solution architects and functional product managers.

AIALifecycleDeveloper

Assigning users to this role enables them to access all aspects of the Project Lifecycle Workbench, excluding bill of material generation. Typically, you would assign this role to integration developers.

AIALifecycleInstallDeveloper

Assigning users to this role enables them to access all aspects of the Project Lifecycle Workbench, including bill of material generation. Typically, you would assign this role to installation developers.

Note:

Each of these AIA Lifecycle roles are included in the Administrators role. If a user has been assigned the Administrators role, the user inherits all the privileges provided by these AIA roles.

For CAVS

AIAApplicationUser

To add the roles:

Click the New button.

Enter the role in the Name field.

Click OK.

Now you must assign groups to the roles.

To assign groups to a roles:

Click Security Realms on the left panel.

Click myrealm (or the realm with true in the Default Realm column) in the list.

Click the Users and Groups tab.

Click the Users tab.

Select the weblogic user (or add your own).

Select the Groups tab.

Move the desired groups to the chosen list.

Click Save.

5.3 Modifying Passwords Used for AIA Deployments

The passwords specified at the time of AIA installation can be changed post-installation. To help you change passwords, AIA provides a utility called UpdateStore. AIA stores its passwords in Keystore. This utility can modify the existing passwords in the Keystore.

In order to run this utility, the AIAIntallProperties.xml properties file should exist in the corresponding AIAHOME/AIA_INSTANCE/<Instance name>/config folder. Also the password being modified must exist in the file.

Note:

This utility only updates encrypted passwords in AIA Installation. It does not change passwords of the SOA Server or the Database schemas.

To modify passwords:

Source the aiaenv.sh in the AIA_INSTANCE/bin.

Browse to AIA_HOME/util/.

Execute ant -f updateStore.xml updateStore -DAdminUsername=<weblogic adminusername> -DAdminPassword=<weblogic admin password>

Update AIA Keystore screen appears.

Enter the Existing Username, Existing Password, New Username and New Password and the Xpath of the password which you want to change.

Example 5-1 shows the expected value of the Xpath.

Note:

This utility modifies the username and the password in the AIAInstallProperties.xml. This does not sync the AIAInstallProperties.xml in the MDS. You must do it manually.

Example 5-1 Xpath for Changing Passwords

<properties>
<pips>
<o2c>
<username>scott</username>
<password>[C76sjg98</password>
</o2c>
</pips>
</properties>

To change the password under the o2c tag, enter the following values in the screen that appears.

Existing Username: scott

Existing Password: welcome1

New Username: scott1

New Password: welcome

XPath: /properties/pips/o2c/password

5.4 Adding Foundation Pack Content to a New Node of an Existing SOA cluster Install

Follow instruction in Oracle Fusion Middleware Enterprise Deployment Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and add a new node to a SOA cluster.

Navigate to <AIA_INSTANCE>/AIAMetaData/config folder and edit the AIAConfigurationProeprties.xml file to modify the following property.

<Property name="EH.JNDIURL">t3://<existing list of soa server details>,<newsoa server host>:<newsoa server port></Property>

Navigate to <AIA_INSTANCE>/config folder and open the AIAInstallProperties.xml file. Add the following information under the "/properties/fp/server/jndi-url" tag.

<jndiurl>t3://<existing list of soa server details>,<newsoa server host>:<newsoa server port></jndiurl>

Start the new Node.

When you start the new node, you notice errors pertaining to Foundation Pack in the server logs. Ignore them for now.

Navigate to <AIA_HOME>/aia_instances/<instance name>/bin and source aiaenv.sh/bat.

8 Installing Reference Process Models

This chapter provides an overview of the Reference Process Model linkage to the Oracle Enterprise Repository (OER) and the installation process. It discusses how to manually upload reference process models to Business Process Publisher, how to configure AIA Redirect Servlet and how to configure AIA Redirect Servlet.

This chapter includes the following sections:

Section 8.1, "Understanding Reference Process Model Linkage to Oracle Enterprise Repository"

Section 8.2, "Understanding the Installation Process"

Section 8.3, "Manually Uploading Reference Process Models to Business Process Publisher"

Section 8.4, "Configuring the AIA Redirect Servlet"

Section 8.5, "Configuring the Tomcat Redirect Servlet"

8.1 Understanding Reference Process Model Linkage to Oracle Enterprise Repository

Oracle has created and delivered conceptual horizontal logical reference process models, as well as reference process models for those processes supported by Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) releases. The reference process models for Foundation Pack (FP) or a pre-built integrations enable you to see and understand how AIA provides application integration solutions for your business processes.

The models combine the view of the business analyst with the view of the technical analyst and provide both a business and technical view of the process. Oracle uses a standard modeling notation and adds technical artifacts to the models at the lowest level of decomposition by linking the reference process models to the appropriate Enterprise Business Service (EBS) artifact in the OER.

The user experience enables you to:

Log in to the Business Process Publisher.

Navigate to a process model.

Drill down through the various process levels from L0 all the way to the lowest level, L2 or L3 as shown in Figure 8-1.

Figure 8-1 L3 Model with Technical Artifacts Viewed through Business Process Publisher

Click a link (relative URLs) to access the relevant EBS that supports the process within the OER, as shown in Figure 8-2.

Figure 8-2 OER EBS for Artifact in L3 Model

Because this feature requires UI linkages between two distinct products, Business Process Publisher and Oracle Enterprise Repository, the following mechanisms are in place:

When users click the relative URLs in the process models inside the Business Publisher, HTTP requests are made to a redirect servlet. This servlet resides on the Tomcat application server of the Business Publisher; its sole purpose is to redirect the requests to another redirect servlet residing on the Oracle AIA side. This first redirect servlet will be called the Tomcat redirect servlet in the remainder of this chapter.

The second servlet resides on the Oracle AIA side. Its purpose is to intercept the call and interpret the URLs. The URL is encoded and parameterized. As such, the URL is translated into an appropriate OER UI URL. This second redirect servlet will be called the AIA redirect servlet in the remainder of this chapter.

At this point, OER UI is rendered in a pop-up browser.

8.2 Understanding the Installation Process

The reference process models are delivered in two forms:

The source database file (.adb), which contains all models. These models can be modified through the use of a licensed copy of Oracle's Business Process Architect (OBPA)

An export of all models, which are read only through the use of Oracle's Business Process Publisher.

The installation of the reference process models differs from the AIA installation. They use different installers and can be installed on different machines.

OER can be installed as an option during the AIA installation or separately from the AIA installation. If installing OER separately from the AIA installation, the AIA redirect servlet will have to be manually deployed on the WebLogic server where AIA is deployed.

Options for Utilizing the Reference Process Models

The first option for utilizing the reference process models is through OBPA. OBPA allows for full access to the reference process models. If you do not have a copy of OBPA, contact Oracle Sales to purchase a licensed copy. Follow the instructions provided with the software to install the Architect and restore the models source database file. The source database file, filename.adb, is located in the \<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\ADB\ directory on the Oracle AIA release media pack. Included in this directory are the Oracle AIA filter and template files used to create the models. Refer to the software documentation for installing the filter and template. If you have a licensed copy of the Business Process Architect, you can obtain the credentials to log into the database from the My Oracle Support note 763620.1 titled Login Credentials to open the AIA models within Oracle BPA Suite on My Oracle Support.

The second option for utilizing the reference process models is through Oracle's Business Process Publisher. Unlike OBPA, Publisher allows read-only access to the process models. The Business Process Publisher is a packaged component within an Oracle AIA release media pack. The Business Process Publisher installation is described in the installation guide that comes with the Publisher. You must manually copy and upload the AIA reference process models onto the Business Publisher and implement and configure the Tomcat redirect servlet as discussed in the next sections, before you can view the models. The reference process model files that are required to be installed with the Publisher can be found in the \<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\Export directory and the files to configure the Tomcat redirect servlet are in the \<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\Setup directory.

Note:

The installation of Business Process Publisher and the models is independent from the AIA installation. The current feature of uploading the reference process models onto the Business Process Publisher is supported only on a Microsoft Windows XP platform. Use the Business Process Publisher 11gR1 version 7.1.0.397082 packaged with the Foundation Pack to view the models.

8.3 Manually Uploading Reference Process Models to Business Process Publisher

To manually upload Reference Process Models to the Business Process Publisher:

Download Business Process Publisher from the Foundation Pack media pack and unzip it on a local drive (that is, C:\).

Run the setup.exe from C:\<directory Publisher unzipped to>\Business Process Publisher\.

Accept all the defaults, except for when it asks for the database system. The default database system is Oracle database, choose Oracle Lite instead.

Restart your computer for the application to install successfully.

Shut down the Oracle Business Process Publisher Server 11g service using Windows Services.

Copy the RPM files from the \<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\ to the appropriate directory as follows. Overwrite files if they exist.

Table 8-1 Fields in Installation Location Screen

File or Directory Name
From
To

webappserver.cfg file

\<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\Export\config

C:\Program Files\Oracle BPA Suite11g\BPServer\tomcat\webapps\businesspublisher\config

\<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\Export\exports

C:\Program Files\Oracle BPA Suite11g\BPServer\tomcat\webapps\businesspublisher

bp71.obs and bp71.odb files

\<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\Export\olitedata

C:\Program Files\Oracle BPA Suite11g\BPServer\olitedata

Restart the Oracle Business Process Publisher Server 11g service using Windows Services.

Log in to Business Publisher (username = AIA, password = Welcome1 and filter = Entire Method).

Note:

You can view the models at this point with the Entire Method Filter or you can install the AIA BPA Filter and log in using it. You cannot view if you log in using any other filter because other filters do not have all objects that are used to create the AIA models. You cannot link to the EBS artifacts until you complete the OER installation and configure both redirect servlets.

8.4 Configuring the AIA Redirect Servlet

To deploy the AIA redirect servlet on the WebLogic server where AIA is installed, perform these tasks after installing OER.

Navigate to $AIA_HOME/Infrastructure/Install/templates.

This folder contains AIALifeCycleArtifactsLink.war file.

Encrypt the HarvesterSettings.xml. To encrypt the file:

Update the HarvesterSettings.xml file under $AIA_INSTANCE/Infrastructure/LifeCycle/AIAHarvester/Harvester with the correct OER URL and login credentials (cleartext).

Encrypt this file using the encrypt.sh script under $AIA_HOME/Infrastructure/LifeCycle/AIAHarvester/Harvester.

./encrypt.sh $AIA_INSTANCE/Infrastructure/LifeCycle/AIAHarvester/Harvester/HarvesterSettings.xml $AIA_INSTANCE/Infrastructure/LifeCycle/AIAHarvester/Harvester/HarvesterSettings.xm

Add the HarvesterSettings.xml to AIALifeCycleArtifactsLink.war file.

Deploy the modified war file either from either from the WebLogic admin console or using the deployment plan. To deploy using the deployment plan:

Create a DeploymentPlan.xml file and paste the content shown in Example 8-1.

Example 8-1 DeploymentPlan.xml

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<DeploymentPlan component="FP" version="3.0">
<Deployments>
<Application name="AIALifeCycleArtifactsLink"
filelocation="${AIA_INSTANCE}/Infrastructure/Install/templates/AIALifeCycleArtifactsLink.war"
 wlserver="fp" failonerror="true" action="deploy"/>
 </Deployments>
</DeploymentPlan>

Ensure that the file location in deploymentPlan.xml file points to the location where the modified war file is located which is $AIA_HOME/Infrastructure/Install/templates.

Set the environment by running the following commands for your platform, as shown in Table 8-2.

8.5 Configuring the Tomcat Redirect Servlet

To configure the Tomcat redirect servlet on Business Publisher:

Note:

Install OER and the AIA redirect servlet before configuring the Tomcat redirect servlet on the Business Publisher.

You can find the Tomcat redirect servlet files in the \<aia.home>\seeddata\BPM\Setup\ directory.

Place the aia-redirect.jar file in the Business Process Publisher lib folder.

\<Publisher install directory>\Program Files\Oracle BPA Suite11g\BPServer\tomcat\webapps\businesspublisher\WEB-INF\lib.

Reconfigure the Business Publisher web.xml file to trigger the filter logics implemented in the aia-redirect.jar.

The web.xml is located in the \<Publisher install directory>\Oracle BPA Suite11g\BPServer\tomcat\webapps\businesspublisher\WEB-INF directory

Copy the contents of the aia-web.xml file and place them after the other filter parameters in the Business Publisher web.xml file.

Using Example 8-2, modify the following parameter values, noted in bold, with the information from your AIA implementation:

Example 8-2 aia-web.xml File

<filter>
        <filter-class>com.oracle.aia.util.AIAServletRedirectFilter</filter-class>
