K Reintroducing Enterprise Business Services

This appendix provides instructions for reintroducing enterprise business services (EBSs) into the Oracle Application Integration Architecture (Oracle AIA) deployment.

Reintroducing Enterprise Business Services

EBSs are used to help route to multiple Providers. If you are using one source and one target system for your integration flows then EBSs are unnecessary. However, if you must dynamically identify a Provider system during runtime (content-based routing) then you should reintroduce EBSs.

Note:

With the deployment of the Fusion Middleware Foundation Pack, web service definition language (WSDL) files are provided for all EBSs.

To reintroduce enterprise business services:

  1. Go to JDevloper and create a new composite for the EBS with an Oracle Mediator service. Use the EBS WSDL provided by Fusion Middleware Foundation Pack.

  2. Create routing rules in Oracle Mediator to route to appropriate Provider connectors.

  3. Save your changes.

  4. Open the AIAConfigurationProperties.xml file, which is located in: $AIA_HOME/aia_instances/$INSTANCE_NAME/AIAMetaData/config.

    Note:

    Entries in the AIAConfigurationProperties.xml file are case sensitive.

  5. To invoke new EBS connectors you need to replace the Provider connector's name and address with the EBS name and address.

    This action tells the Requestor to invoke EBS instead of the Provider application business connector service (ABCS).

  6. Save and close the file.

  7. To make your changes effective, upload the changed AIAConfigurationProperties.xml to the Oracle Metadata Services repository as described in Oracle AIA Installation Guide.
