Oracle announced today that a new release of the AIA Foundation Pack is available. Release 2.01 works with Oracle SOA Suite 10.1.3.3.
If you are wondering what the Foundation Pack is I’ll be providing more information in some following posts since I just returned from some training. At a high level, the Foundation Pack provides a methodology and framework for developing integration links between applications using Oracle SOA capabilities such as BPEL, XML, and the Enterprise Service Bus.
One of the headaches for early adopters of SOA has been the governance issues. The Foundation Pack provides a structure for using SOA and a number of pre-built framework components to simplify the process.

Thanks for the great read and consolidation of information. I am working with a customer who wants to ‘push’ changes from Oracle E-business to Siebel using an AIA architecture. From everything I have read it is generally a ‘pull’ activity (Siebel requests data from Oracle EBS). Should we just skip the AIA functionality and use ESB/BPEL directly?
