What do we mean by Integration?

Enterprise systems consist of many logical endpoints

Off-the-shelf applications, services, web apps, devices, appliances, custom built software

Endpoints expose a set of inputs and outputs, which comprise

Protocols - e.g. MQ, TCP/IP, HTTP, File system, FTP, SMTP, POP3 etc.
Message Formats - e.g. Binary (C/COBOL), XML, Industry (SWIFT, EDI, HL7), User-defined

Integration is about connecting these endpoints together in meaningful ways

Route, Transform, Enrich, Filter, Monitor, Distribute, Decompose, Correlate, Fire and Forget,
Request/Reply, Publish/Subscribe, Aggregation, Fan-in, Complex Event Processing

Integration solutions are about reducing cost!

File

Database

Web
service

Integration solutions simplify integration!

Avoids rewrites in response to new integration requirements
Simplifies maintenance by reducing expensive coupling
Flexibility adding anonymity between producers and consumers of data
Adds insight into applications and business value they bring

Example integration

Some examples of integration topologies

Bridges
Often used for single point-to-point connections
Usually cheap and quick to configure
More difficult to scale to larger numbers of
endpoints

Gateways
Provides connectivity
to third parties or to a
specific class of
endpoint
For example, internet,
cloud, security, DMZ,
B2B
Combines simplicity of
configuration and a
commonly on-ramp to
back-end ESB

internet
B2B

cloud
etc.

Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)

Logical construct that combines messaging
and enrichment
Scales very well; can integrate small and
large numbers of endpoints, and can be
easily distributed
Often applied as a backbone for a Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA)
Solutions can usually also be applied to hub
and spoke style architectures

Key Usage Scenarios

Top Integration Usage Patterns

What are the top issues that people want to solve with integration solutions?

Extend the Reach of Existing Applications

Distribute Database information to where its needed
Create a File Hub to connect batch and online applications
Get the most from Packaged Applications
Take advantage of .NET applications
Provide a Policy Enforcement Point for Secure Connectivity
Extend Enterprise to Devices and Mobile
Monitor your business activity and act intelligently
Detect and Act Upon Business Events and Rules
Provide Connectivity and Integration for Business Processes
Make an inventory and enable Policy based management

New usage patterns are continually emerging as business needs evolve!

Default Configuration Wizard

Use the DCW to easily create:

Default Queue Manager
Default Integration Node
Default Integration Server

Quick Starts

IIB Samples

Import and Deploy a product sample

There are many product
samples that show how
to use IIB.
These are easily
imported into the
development toolkit
workspace, and
deployed to the
integration server
runtime.

Sample artefacts
This sample has imported several
integration data flows to demonstrate a
coordinated request/reply scenario.
The integration data flows are grouped in
applications and library as can be seen to
the left.
Below is one of the integration data flows
for this sample. It is a complete transaction.

Data Node

Data Node Terminal

Data Node Connection

Integration Flow Data Nodes

Many other nodes available as product extensions

WebSphere TX, Tibco RV, VSAM, QSAM

Write your own User-Defined Nodes in C or Java
New https://github.com/ot4i GitHub repository; MQTT nodes

Powerful Message Transformation Options

Graphical, easy to use

Drag and Drop fields,
apply functions

Embed Java
programs
Ability to use
XPath for tree
access

Convert XML to
anything
Uses standard
XSL Style sheets

Transform using
PHP scripts
PHP 5.2
compliant

Describe powerful
transformations quickly
Uses SQL-based
language (ESQL)

Use any of the

40+ .NET
languages (e.g.
C#, VB.NET)
Access COM
objects

Integration Patterns

Generate Pattern Instances

Generate data flows
based on patterns
which define best
practice.
Properties allow the
pattern instance to
be customised.
User-Defined
patterns can be
authored and
distributed to other
developers to
enforce best
practices.

Pattern Artefacts

Integration Data
Flows are generated
in the pattern
instance.
They are ready to be
deployed to the
integration server
runtime.
Any tasks required to
run the data flows are
listed, such as
creating MQ Queues.

Services
Within IIB, easily create new services that have a well
defined interface and structure:
A whole new service from scratch including the associated
WSDL and integration data flow.
A service including the integration data flows, from an
existing WSDL file.
A service, including the integration data flows, from an
existing IBM BPM service.
A service based on an existing database.
A service based on an existing MQ queue manager and
queue definition.

Creating a new Service

Use the wizard to create a

brand new service.

Service Artefacts
All artefacts are created for the
new service, including the
WSDL and a SOAP based flow.
A subflow is included for the
operation and error handlers
which the developer can then
update.

Administration

Administration using the WebUI

View runtime statistics using the WebUI

Using the WebUI in
Integration Bus v9:
Control statistics at all
levels
Easily view and compare
flows, helping to
understand which are
processing the most
messages or have the
highest elapsed time
Easily view and compare
nodes, helping to
understand which have
the highest CPU or
elapsed times.
View all statistics metrics
available for each flow
View historical flow data

IB Explorer & Resource Statistics

View
resource
statistics for
resource
managers
in IIB such
as JVM,
ODBC,
JDBC etc

Integration Bus Explorer & Activity Log

View activity as it happens using explorer
Filter by resource managers

Other forms of administration

IIB can also be
administered
using:
1. Commandline
2. REST interface
3. CMP Java API.
