For detailed
instructions on installing this version of the OFS AAIEP, see the Oracle
Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Extension Pack
Installation Guide 8.1.2.0.0.
Features added in this Release of the OFS AAI Extension Pack 8.1.2.0.0
In this release of the Oracle Financial Services
Analytical Applications Infrastructure Extension Pack (OFS AAIEP) 8.1.2.0.0,

OFS AAIEP supports OEL 8 and Java 11
OFS AAIEP now supports deployment on Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) 8 with Java 11.
Document Management Service with Encryption
Document Management Service with Encryption helps manage documents associated with different OFSAA applications and processes. It
provides ReST End Points to manage document lifecycle.
NOTE: As part of OFSAA 8.1.2.4.0 release, the documents are stored in an encrypted format and are decrypted when required.
Scheduler Services
Scheduler Services automates behind-the-scenes work that is necessary to sustain various enterprise applications and their operations. Scheduler Services helps the applications to control unattended background jobs program execution. The functionalities in Scheduler facilitate you a graphical user interface and a single point of control for the definition and monitoring of the background executions. For information,

Notes on the Oracle
Help Center.
Release 8.1.1.0.0
In this release of the Oracle Financial Services
Analytical Applications Infrastructure Extension Pack (OFS AAIEP) 8.1.1.0.0,
the following advanced features and functionalities have been added:
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.
- Attribution Analysis
The Oracle Financial Services Attribution Analysis is a solution integrated with the PMF Application to specifically address the following requirements for Financial Institutions:
- Compare Runs by modifying a variable from a list of variables. In other words, compare the Execution Runs in Models by varying one factor and studying the impact on other factors linked to it.
- Analyze reports based on the comparison.
For more
information, see the Oracle Financial Services Attribution
Analysis User Guide.
For more information about the preceding features, see
the Oracle
Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Process Modelling
Framework Orchestration 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.
Data Maintenance Interface
Data Maintenance Interface (DMI) helps to design a Data Form in a
user-specified format. Further, allows to perform maintenance activities using
the designed Form.
Data Form Designer
- Designer allows the user to design a form to maintain the underlying data.
Data Maintenance
- This allows the user to maintain the design either through the form that has been defined using Form Designer or by performing a bulk upload using the Excel upload mechanism.
- A strong data governance process is enabled through an approval workflow of the data maintained.
For more details, refer to Data Maintenance Interface section of User Guide.
Release 8.1.0.0.0
The Oracle
Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Extension Pack offers
advanced features and functionalities which can be installed on top of OFSAAI.
Before installing the Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications
Infrastructure Extension Pack you must install an
OFSAA instance having one or more OFSAA Application Packs.
The Oracle
Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Extension Pack
includes the following advanced features and functionalities:
Distributed Processing
Capabilities
The Distributed
Activation Manager Based Processing has the following features in OFSAAIE:
- Supports the deployment model that separates the components serving the UI or interactive application components from the components that handle the compute requirements of batch jobs.
- 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 the following features
enabled in OFSAAIE:
- Supports interleaving of automated paths or swim lanes with human decisioning tasks.
- Categorization of pipelines.
For more
information, see the Categorization of Pipelines Section in the Oracle
Financial Services Analytical Applications Infrastructure Process Modelling
Framework Orchestration Guide.
- Orchestration of Run Pipeline, allowing choreography of analytical jobs or Run Pipeline.
- Workflow Pipeline, allowing human decisions and automated system task choreography.
- Analytical or business process pipelines that interleave automated paths with human decision tasks. These pipelines can be interleaved with swim lanes within a process model orchestration.
- Attribution Analysis
The Oracle Financial Services Attribution Analysis is a solution integrated with the PMF Application to address the following requirements for financial institutions:
- Compare runs by modifying a variable from a list of variables. In other words, compare execution runs in models by varying one factor and studying the impact on other linked factors.
- Analyze reports based on the comparison.

Content Management
Interoperability Services
The Content
Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) is an OASIS standard enabling
information sharing between different Content Management Systems. The Document
Management features can be configured to interface with the CMIS services to
perform various operations such as Document Upload, Document 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.
