BSSV or AIS Server

does the BSSV or AIS server better solve whatever need you to have in JD Edwards? If you’re in search of something to simply integrate with external applications, BSSV could work for you. (To make things even easier, Oracle has a set of pre-built EnterpriseOne Business Services for you.) However, if you need to integrate with social networks, smart devices, or IoT devices, consider the AIS server. Why?

Keep in mind that SOAP (which BSSV need to work) is a bit sluggish on mobile, social, and “chatty” apps, i.e. apps that require a lot of communication between client machines and central servers. The AIS server, on the other hand, uses a lightweight REST over JSON engine. Because it’s more lightweight, AIS is preferred for consumer touchpoints and IoT devices where you need real-time/nearly real-time integration speeds. (JD Edwards’ IoT Orchestrator makes things a lot easier, too

BSSV

Business Services opens up the world of Java to EnterpriseOne and opens E1 up to the web so that web applications are able to call E1 seamlessly using SOAP. A very robust framework, the BSSV server is built on top of a Java platform and allows users to execute self-contained stateless business functions like “Get Item List Price” as a web service. Users can also create new custom business services like “Generate Sales Order,” calling the base E1 master business functions to validate and create the Sales Order within E1.

For calling 3rd-party applications, Business Services can either use SOAP-based web services or Restful Services/JSON to connect EnterpriseOne to external applications.

AIS Server

An AIS server communicates between JDE EnterpriseOne and other AIS server clients. This type of server is perfect for clients or software languages that use JSON over REST. Clients that use an AIS server to interact with EnterpriseOne include:

• Apps created with the AIS Client Java API
• Components created using the Oracle Java Extension Toolkit (JET) that can run inside EnterpriseOne UX One pages
• EnterpriseOne mobile apps created using the Oracle Mobile Application Framework (MAF)
• EnterpriseOne apps created with the Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF)
• IoT devices
