Introduction to AIA PIP

What is AIA
Application Integration Architecture is an open, standards-based platform that is designed to ease integration of disparate applications into a unified enterprise architecture using service-oriented architecture (SOA). AIA provides an integration framework for enabling cross-application business processes, which spares organizations the effort of having to customize their applications to achieve the same end within a single, common application suite, such as Oracle E-Business Suite or Oracle Siebel applications. It can be used to link together Oracle applications, custom applications or any combination of enterprise legacy applications.

AIA Components

AIA consists of three components:
  1. The Foundation Pack, 
  2. Process Integration Packs and
  3. Direct Integrations.

All of which use Oracle Fusion Middleware as the technology platform. The Foundation Pack sits on top of the Oracle SOA Suite to provide the common framework and object models; the Process Integration Packs are built on top of the Foundation Pack to facilitate composite business process integrations of two or more Oracle applications. Direct Integrations are a prebuilt tightly coupled data integration solution between two applications
