Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack Rel 2.1/2.2/2.2.1

The Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack course has two primary areas of focus: 1) AIA architecture, including enterprise business objects (EBOs) and enterprise business services (EBSs), application business connector (ABC) services, integration patterns, extensibility, versioning, and security and 2) AIA infrastructure components, including error handling, the composite application validation system (CAVS), the business service repository (BSR), diagnostics, and the AIA Installer.

In this class you will learn the concepts and technologies behind the AIA Foundation Pack and you’ll apply this knowledge to create AIA artifacts such as enterprise business services and application business connector services and to extend them to meet customer requirements. You’ll become familiar with the set of tools provided with Foundation Pack including the Business Service Repository for SOA governance; the Composite Application Validation System for testing; and the common Error Handling Framework for reducing issue resolution time.
