How to View a Bill of Material for an AIA Lifecycle Project

Working with Project Lifecycle Workbench Bills of Material 4-9 ■ Manually defined composites The composite was not harvested, but rather was manually defined as an associated composite by selecting the Add New Composite option on the business task branch node. In the case of a manually defined composite, you can select the composite leaf node to display the Detail area, in which you can edit composite-level annotations by specifying a series of XPath values in the BOM. The internal structure of the composite services and references, for example is not shown in the BOM. All annotations are flat with respect to manually defined composites. For both harvested and manually defined composites, you can select the Remove option to disassociate the composite from its parent business task branch node. This removes the composite definition and association from the BOM. For harvested composites, this does not remove the composite from the Project Lifecycle Workbench database or the Oracle Enterprise Repository. For manually defined composites, this does not remove the composite from the Project Lifecycle Workbench database.

7. Once you have finalized all details conveyed in the BOM, click Export BOM to

export the BOM as an XML file to be supplied as input to the Deployment Plan Generator to expedite deployment plan generation. The recommended location for the saved BOM XML file is AIA_HOMEaia_ instancesinstance_nameconfig. The recommended file name for the saved BOM XML file is Custom_PIP_ NameBOM.xml. For more information about supplying the BOM XML file to the Deployment Plan Generator, see Chapter 6, Generating Deployment Plans and Deploying Artifacts.

4.4 How to View a Bill of Material for an AIA Lifecycle Project

Objective View a BOM from a Project Lifecycle Workbench project. The BOM captures project details, as well as the business tasks defined as being in-scope for the project. Prerequisites and Recommendations The BOM to be viewed must have been generated. Actors The ability to view a BOM using the View Bill Of Material link is available only to a user with the AIALifeCycleUser or AIALifeCycleDeveloper role assigned. Users with the AIALifeCycleInstallDeveloper role assigned will not see the View Bill Of Material link. Instead, they will see the Generate Bill Of Material link or Edit Bill Of Material link. If the Generate Bill Of Material link displays, a user can click the link and select the Preview option to view the BOM. If the Edit Bill Of Material link displays, the user can click it to view and edit the BOM. For more information about generating and editing the BOM as a user with the AIALifeCycleInstallDeveloper role assigned, see Section 4.2, How to Generate a Bill of Material for an AIA Lifecycle Project and Section 4.3, How to Edit a Bill of Material for an AIA Lifecycle Project. 4-10 Developers Guide for Oracle Application Integration Architecture Foundation Pack To view a BOM for an AIA Lifecycle project: 1. Access the AIA Home Page. Click Go in the Project Lifecycle Workbench area. Select the Project tab.

2. Click the View Bill Of Material link to view the BOM on the Bill Of Material page.

The View Bill Of Material link does not display if the BOM has not yet been generated. The No Bill Of Material Exists message displays instead. Depending on the lifecycle phase of the BOM, the Bill Of Material page may or may not display information. For example, if the functional decomposition and service solution component definition are complete, but no composites have been implemented and nothing has been harvested, not much information will appear on the page. However, if functional decomposition, service solution component definition, actual composite implementation, and composite harvesting have been completed, the BOM tree displays to enable you to click through and view the functional decomposition. 3. Select nodes in the tree to display any available details and annotations for the selected node. ■ Project root node: Reflects the name of the project from which the BOM was generated. ■ Business task branch nodes: Reflect the business tasks that make up the project from which the BOM was generated. ■ Composite leaf nodes: Reflect the composites that collectively implement the functionality of the business tasks. A composite consists of child elements, such as services, references, and so forth. As such, leaf nodes will not display child elements if annotations are not present for its child elements. 5 Working with Project Lifecycle Workbench Seed Data 5-1 5 Working with Project Lifecycle Workbench Seed Data This chapter includes the following sections: ■ Section 5.1, Introducing Project Lifecycle Workbench Seed Data
