Overview of this book

<p>Every Enterprise should have a learning curve in building better integration solutions from inaccuracy. Since Integration becomes the backbone of every corporate IT system, it is important to build the integration solution based on industry proven best practices. Oracle being a leader in enterprise solutions brings industry best practices and open standards as Oracle AIA framework. Oracle AIA Foundation Packs provide an open standard data model, templates and methodologies to build integrations and processes for enterprise applications. This book will guide you through the Oracle AIA fundamentals and development practices.<br /><br />Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA) Foundation Pack 11gR1 focuses on the fundamentals of integration, the AIA approach to integration and various integration components in AIA. This book is developer- friendly as the structure of the book explains each component right from architecture to development. <br /><br />This book covers Oracle AIA and its approach for better collaboration with integration teams. It covers all the components of the Oracle AIA Foundation Pack.<br /><br />This book begins with AIA fundamentals, architecture, and components from Enterprise Business Objects (EBO), Enterprise Business Message (EBM), Enterprise Business Services (EBS), Application Business Connector Service (ABCS), and Enterprise Business Flow (EBF). However, this is not enough to build enterprise solution, so this book also covers AIA security, version management, design patterns, error handling, and centralized repository. In turn, this book doesn't leave out testing; it covers Composite Asset Validation System (CAVS). Finally, the last chapter ends with case studies that express real-time scenarios.</p>

Preface

Validating the integration interfaces using CAVS


As we have seen in Chapter 12, Composite Application Validation System, CAVS provides framework to build the test definitions to validate the services built on the AIA framework and provides simulator components to simulate the external services for complete end-to-end testing. During the design phase, the implementation team decided to use the CAVS feature to qualify various services component of the AIA approach to save time and efforts.

As it was decided to use the CAVS during unit testing and integration testing phases, the design includes enabling the ABCS routing through CAVS by configuring it in AIAServiceConfigurationProperties.xml. Therefore, the CAVS test definition created in the CAVS user interface will be executed to validate the integration performance before taking it into the production environment. In addition, CAVS is used to unit test both the provider ABCS and the requester ABCS for this integration process.
