Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Extension Pack v8.0.8.x Readme

Description

OFS AAIEP 8.0.8.x RELEASE

The Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Extension Pack offers advanced features and functionalities which can be installed on top of OFS AAI.

NOTE:

SQL Rule is a deprecated feature and is not supported. For further guidance, refer to MOS Support note (1586900.1) .

Prerequisites

Before installing the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Extension Pack, you must install an OFSAA Instance having one or more OFSAA Application Packs. You must also ensure that the minimum version of OFS AAI is v8.0.8.5.0 (33511732 Patch).

Information About Licensing and Installation

For detailed instructions on installing this version of the OFS AAIEP, see the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Extension Pack Installation Guide 8.0.8.x.

Features in this Release of the OFS AAI Extension Pack

In this release of the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Extension Pack (OFS AAIEP) 8.0.8.x, the following advanced features and functionalities are available:

·       Distributed Processing Capabilities

·       Analytic Pipeline and Process Models

·       Content Management Interoperability Services

·       Event-Based Orchestration 

Distributed Processing Capabilities

The Distributed Activation Manager Based Processing has the following features in OFS AAIEP:

·       User Interface is managed within the Web Application Container as all the required libraries and jars are deployed under the Web Application Container Nodes.

·       ICC Interactive Processing occurs within the ICC Server and therefore, there is delinking of ICC with the Application Container.

·       Enables Batch Processes that must be distributed over multiple nodes by running multiple Activation Manager (Job Agent).

For more information, see the Distributed Activation Manager (AM) Based Processing Section in the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Administration and Configuration Guide.

Analytic Pipeline and Process Models

The Oracle Financial Services Process Modelling Framework (PMF) has been enhanced to bring additional capabilities which are described as follows.

·       Supports interleaving of automated paths or swim-lanes with Human Decision Tasks such as approval of computes before progressing with further computes.

·       Categorization of Pipelines

This release application categorizes and updates the pipeline types appropriately depending on the nature of tasks that are being orchestrated for the following Pipelines:

§  Workflow Pipeline

§  Run Pipeline

§  Sub-Run Pipeline

§  Business Process Pipeline

For more information, see the Categorization of Pipelines Section in the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Process Modelling Framework Orchestration Guide.

§  Run pipeline enables choreography of analytical jobs or Run Pipeline.

§  Workflow Pipeline enables choreography of human decisions, automated system tasks, and external calls.

§  Analytical or Business Process Pipelines enable the interleaving of automated paths through the choreography of analytical tasks with human decision tasks. These pipelines can be interleaved with swim lanes within a Process Model Orchestration.

For more information about the preceding features, see the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Process Modelling Framework Orchestration Guide.

Content Management Interoperability Services

The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) is an OASIS Standard enabling information sharing between different Content Management Systems. Document Management Features can be configured to interface with the CMIS Services to perform various operations such as document upload, download, and search. The documents are stored in the CMIS Repository.

For more information, see the Content Management Integration Section in the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Administration and Configuration Guide.

Event-Based Orchestration

This brings the capability to trigger further execution paths based on the occurrence of an event.

The Event Framework integrated into PMF is an Event-driven Messaging Framework that uses Apache Kafka (messaging server) to process information asynchronously and in near real-time. Producers that are either External Applications or PMF Internal Processes, send messages (notify about an event occurrence) to Kafka Topic(s). Consumers, which are internal processes within PMF that are choreographed within the pipeline, read the messages from Kafka Topic(s) and execute other events or activities configured in the PMF Pipelines. The framework uses the REST Transfer Protocol to send messages and the JSON Data format to construct the messages.

The Consumer and Producer Widgets are enabled on the PMF Canvas on the application of this release. This allows users to perform event-based orchestration within PMF.

For more information about the preceding features, see the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Process Modelling Framework Orchestration Guide.
