AIA Demo for AIA 11g

Question

Hi,
Is there a documentation that gives some details on how to perform AIA Demo installation on AIA 11g which is runing on a WLS 10.3.3 cluster ?
I am trying to use GettingStarted_E17359-01.pdf available as a part Article ID 1087345.1, but that is of not of much help. I need to know if it works fine and how to test a SOA setup with OSB and AIA in it.
Thanks

You can find all details on the installation of the AIA Demo in the Install Guide (V20870-01). Essentially you only run a single script for deploying the entire demo including DB schema, middleware configuration, J2EE apps, and SOA composites. Read the install guide carefully, in particular make sure to assign enough heap space (2GB) to your managed server ahead of demo deployment.
Note that the AIA Demo 11gR1 does not leverage OSB at this point. But you can certainly use the demo as a starting point and add OSB services to the flow. E.g. a natural use case for OSB would be to virtualize application endpoints. So you could build a wrapper service for demo application services like the StoreFront service (which is an ADF based web service) and refer to this new wrapper in the AIA code. This is just one example, I am sure you can find many other places where OSB would fit into the picture.
Another note: you should go for SOA 11.1.1.3 if you intend to use OSB as this release provides the direct binding between SOA and OSB. In the case of running AIA 11g on SOA 11.1.1.3, don't miss to apply patch 9717829.
