Oracle AIA for Communications Electronic Document Uploader (EDU) - A short Introduction and Information

The EDU mainly used in Communication industry where Oracle RODOD (Rapid Offer Design and Order Delivery) setup implemented.

The EDU component is part of AIA Electronic Billing presentation (EBP). The  EBP is the process of generating, storing, publishing, and presenting customer invoices digitally. It help us to provide a Quality Customer Experience.

EDU is the Oracle AIA EBP document publisher component. It automatically retrieves customer invoices in PDF format from BI Publisher and publishes them to WebCenter Content.

The main EDU integrations are with applications BRM, BIP & WCC

o   BRM – Oracle Billing & Revenue Management.

o   BIP   - Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher

o   WCC – Oracle WebCenter Content

Before configuring/using EDU, we have to have  below systems ready and integrated.

o   BRM & BIP system’s are ready and integrated successfully.

o   Required EDU post configurations are implemented @ BIP & WCC level.

EDU Process flow:

•            The EDU Document Retriever fetches the invoices from BI Publisher
•            A JMS Queue used to stores the invoices retrieved by Document Retriever
•            One message-driven bean (as part of edu.ear) has deployed and it reads messages from the JMS Queue and invokes the Document Publisher.
•            The EDU Document Publisher will fetch the invoices from the JMS Queue and publishes them to WebCenter Content.
•            The EDU Republish Utility: Reruns failed publications.

 Note: How to implement the AIA Communications EDU setup on Linux environment will be posted in my next post.
