5 Integrate Everything with IBM Integration Bus Business Need Business Problem Solution Business applications can not exist in isolation, they need to be able to exchange data with other applications to maximise value. Enterprise IT consists of many systems; off the shelf applications, services, packaged apps (SAP, Siebel etc.) Web apps, devices, appliances, bespoke software and many more. Systems expose interfaces using different protocols such as APIs, MQ, TCP/IP, database, HTTP, files, FTP etc. and with a myriad of standards based and custom data formats. Building connections Point to point quickly deteriorates into spaghetti chaos, an inflexible architecture which is expensive to maintain and resistant to change. IBM Integration Bus connects these endpoints in meaningful ways Avoids rewrites in response to new integration requirements Simplifies maintenance by reducing expensive coupling Adds Flexibility introducing anonymity between producers and consumers of data Provides insight into applications and business value they bring Benefits A proven, scalable and secure integration platform that delivers rapid, secure, scalable and reliable connectivity. Largest breadth of adapters, platforms and protocols supported. Industry relevant connectivity to solve domain specific problems.

40 Using IBM Transformation Extender with IBM Integration Bus

41 Strategic Technology: IBM Integration Bus The IBM Transformation Extender Advanced engine has been designed to leverage the connectivity and orchestration capabilities provided by IBM Integration Bus Patterns are provided to quick start the development of inbound, outbound or transformation Message Flows Events generated by the engine may be published to a WebSphere MQ queue for consumption by external visibility and analytics tools Note: SPE Requires IBM Integration Bus v9 ITX Advanced requires IBM Integration Bus v10 De envelope Node Transform Node De-envelopes input data and returns deenveloped transactions, acknowledgements and transactions in error Wraps calls to the Standards Processing Engine s transform function to run a WebSphere TX, Sterling B2B Integrator or XSLT map Envelope Node Encodes input data and either prepares documents for deferred enveloping, envelopes previously prepared documents or envelopes documents immediately

42 Strategic Technology: IBM Integration Bus De-envelope Node Use the De-envelope Node to de-envelope input data Send enveloped data to the in terminal There are three output terminals and a failure terminal Transactions which pass validation are sent, one at a time, to the out terminal Transactions which fail validation are sent, one at a time, to the error terminal Acknowledgements are sent to the ack terminal Exceptions are routed to the failure terminal The De-envelope Node has no basic properties, but it can be configured to output intermediate documents and a storage payload threshold can be optionally specified Correlations and ProcessData are written to the LocalEnvironment An Interchange Compliance Report may be written to the LocalEnvironment for transactions that are in error

43 De-envelope example inbound X12 document There are 4 terminals: Terminal 1 OUT writes the translated output to queue Output and then is written to a FTP server. It also writes out the Correlation and Process Data Terminal 2 ACK writes out the acknowledgement (997, 999) Terminal 3 ERROR writes out the error along with the Compliance Report which is then formatted by a WTX map to remove some characters that interrupts the XML output Terminal 4 FAILURE writes out any failure information or data

44 Strategic Technology: IBM Integration Bus Envelope Node Use the Envelope Node to encode input data Send enveloped data to the in terminal Documents may be sent individually or sent together using a Collector Node There are two output terminals and a failure terminal Enveloped transactions which pass validation are sent to the out terminal Transactions which fail validation are sent, one at a time, to the error terminal Exceptions are routed to the failure terminal A SenderID, ReceiverID, AccepterLookupAlias and optionally an InterchangeID must be specified in the LocalEnvironment before the Envelope Node is invoked The Envelope Node has only one basic property which controls whether it prepares documents for deferred enveloping, envelopes previously prepared documents or envelopes documents immediately It can also be configured to output intermediate documents, halt on error and a storage payload threshold can be optionally specified Correlations and ProcessData are written to the LocalEnvironment

45 Strategic Technology: IBM Integration Bus Envelope Node Prepare documents for later enveloping Envelope previously prepared documents (batching) Envelope documents immediately

46 Strategic Technology: IBM Integration Bus Transform Node Use the Transform Node to call the ITX Advanced engine s transform function and run a IBM TX, Sterling B2B Integrator or XSLT map Send input data to the in terminal Documents may be sent individually or sent together using a Collector Node when an IBM TX map is used Messages in the MessageCollection are routed to similarly named input cards (in1, in2, etc.) There is always one failure terminal, but output terminals can be created as needed Sterling and XSLT maps only produce one output, sent to the default out1 terminal Output cards from WebSphere TX maps are routed to similarly numbered out terminals (out1, out2, etc.) Exceptions are routed to the failure terminal along with a Translation Report in the ExceptionList The Transform Node has one basic property the map name It can be configured with a storage payload threshold The map may be specified in the LocalEnvironment MapName specifies a map in the SPE repository MapServerLocation specifies the path to a map on a local file system DynamicMap passes a map to SPE as an array of bytes Correlations and ProcessData are written to the LocalEnvironment
