AIA Error Handling : Error Notifications/Emails

In continuation with my earlier posts on AIA Error handling, I will cover the steps required to enable/send error notifications in this post. AIA Error handling framework has out-of-the-box error email functionality. Incase of partner link errors like remote/binding faults the fault-policy.xml file should take care of sending the error notification/email. Incase of non-partner link error the AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPEL process is called from catch-all block which inturn sends out the error email.

A sample fault-policy.xml file is shown below

3
2

In above file, the oracle.apps.aia.core.eh.CompositeJavaAction class file gets invoked when remote/binding fault occurs and takes care of sending the error notification to AIAIntegrationAdmin user.

A sample code for populating EBM Header in catch-all block is shown below

1. First create a variable named EBM_HEADER
<variable name="EBM_HEADER" element="ns3:EBMHeader"/>

ns3 here refers to corecom namespace.

2. Make sure your ABM_to_EBM.xsl or EBM_to_ABM.xsl are populating the EBM header section correctly (eg. EBMID, EBOName etc...)

3. In catch-all block make sure you are populating the EBM_HEADER before invoking the AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess

                part="FaultMessage" query="/ns3:Fault"/>

          </copy>
        </assign>
      <invoke name="Invoke_AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess" inputVariable="Invoke_AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess_initiate_InputVariable"
              partnerLink="AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess"
              portType="ns10:AIAAsyncErrorHandlingBPELProcess"
              operation="initiate"/>

Apart from this there are certain configurations which need to be done for successfully sending error emails.

1. Set the email driver properties from EM Console :

OutgoingMailServer :
OutgoingMailServerPort :
OutgoingMailServerSecurity :
OutgoingDefaultFromAddress:

2. In AIA_HOME/aia_instances/Instance_name/AIAMetaData/config/AIAConfigurationProperties.xml file , below properties should be set

<Property name="EH.INVOKE.NOTIFY">true</Property>
<Property name="FROM.EMAIL.ID">Email:AiaAdmin@oracle.com</Property>
<Property name="EH.DEFAULT.ACTOR.ROLE">AIAIntegrationAdmin</Property>

3. In User Messaging Preferences console (http://:/sdpmessaging/userprefs-ui) add email Id for user AIAIntegrationAdmin. Login to this console with AIAIntegrationAdmin/welcome1.

NOTE: Message channels are meant to be a single email address or phone number etc.But you can refer to an email distribution list if you want to send these emails to multiple persons.

4. Upload the AIAConfigurationProperties.xml file to MDS and Reload the configuration from AIA Console setup page.Make sure when you update UpdateMetaDataDP.xml for loading the AIAConfigurationProperties.xml into MDS it should look something like below:

<fileset dir="${AIA_HOME}/aia_instances/instance_name/AIAMetaData">
<include name="config/AIAConfigurationProperties.xml" />
</fileset>

Also if the Go buttons are not enabled on AIA Console Setup page, make sure the weblogic user has the role AIAApplicationUser associated with it. You can associate roles on the Weblogic Admin Console under Security Realms.

5. Also set Notification mode to 'Email' from 'SOA Administration' -> 'Workflow Notification Properties' in EM Console.
