Now Oracle AIA is availble for a 'long' period. I see more and more working coming from customers. It looks like that Oracle AIA is on the right time on the right place. Recession is on, and customers are look to reduce their cost, but do want to innovate their buiness withour losing revenue.
Customers are seeking to solutions to use their existing (legacy) system for a lnger period, without investing huge amount of money to build new systems.
A good choice is to use Oracle AIA Foundation with or without a Process Integration Pack (PIP). It is relative a small investment to get an out-of-the-box business integration flow with two or more systems (Siebel, PeopleSoft, EBS, BRM/Protal, JD Edwards).
Last month Oracle AIA 2.3 was introduced, so what brings this. If I compare it with the versions I have worked with (2.0), it is a huge difference; complete setup/installation of AIA Foundation or select a PIP. While in previous releases the PIP's were available in a specific version.
The major difference is that the Enterprise Business Objects (EBO) have been extened or added.
The current verions of Oracle AIA is version 2.3. Oracle AIA Foundation 2.3 is certified on SOA Suite 10.1.3.4. On WLS the certification is in progress, while Oracle AIA Foundation 2.2.1 is certified on SOA Suite 10.1.3.3 and WLS 9.2.
A major improvements the Business Service Registry; build with ADF; but a complete different; improved layout; comparing to the previous versions.
Documentation of the business flows are written in the business process modeler (BPM) of the Oracle BPA Suite.
More features;
You are able to upgrade from previous version.
Generate ABCS BPEL processes.
Improved Error handling framework, with resubmission after errors.
General availble on major plaforms; Linux ; (soon on Window; Solaris; AIX; HP-UX.)

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the update - just a note: it doesn't appear (as of 12 Feb) that the software (2.3) is out for Windows yet, just saw Linux.
How do the PIPs work. Are they platform or version specific? Are they designed in a graphical model?
The PIPs are platform independent. They are built on top of Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle AIA Faundation. They are implemented in BPEL processes and ESB Services, based on a canonical data model.
Hi Mark,
We got the License for SOA, AIA, BPM/BPA.
We would be using latest version on Solaris.
What is the exact latest version available for each of the above and what do you suggest?

The latest version of AIA is now version 2.4. I suggest to use that version.
Hi Mark,
I am new to AIA and in my first project I got an assignment to develop an AIA roadmap..implement AIA in with minimal impact to the project. What shall I do about existing BPEL processes? Additionally, they use mule ESB (Is that something I need to concerned about). I will really appreciate it If you give me some pointers.
Thank you,
Zerrin
If you have choosen for AIA, you should follow the guidelines of AIA Framework (AIS Dev.Guide). Your business flow must be implemented according to the AIA Pattern (ABCSImpl -> EBS -> EBF -> EBS -> ABCSImpl).
The BPEL and ESB servives must be implemented with Oracle SOA Suite & AIA Foundation. Current BPEL en ESb services must me upgrade to this AIA framework
