  3. Integration Broker is what? Enables disparate systems to share information in common manner. The central control and storage point that mediates events to and from applications, managing the essential queuing, routing, filtering and storing of information in an reliable and secure manner.

  4. Integration Brokers Vendors Gartner – Magic Quadrant IBM SeeBeyond Tibco Vitria webMethods Others Mercator SoftwareAG BEA Oracle

  5. webMethods • Chosen because… • Features • Cost • Name is misleading… • It is an Integration Broker • The “web” part of the name makes people think it’s only for web access… untrue.

  6. What can it do? • Just a few examples • Notice changes to PS data and apply the changes to the directory or student data • Notice changes to the directory data and apply the changes to PS or student • Notice data changes to any table or field in an Oracle or Informix database and publish events • Notice changes in flat files and process as appropriate

  7. Goals When data is altered in our PeopleSoft system populate those changes to the Directory, without any changes to the PeopleSoft applications or the Directory software. Same for Student System. Provide an infrastructure to allow these types of interactions between other systems

  8. Event Driven • Event driven • Integrations are built by a developer • When an event happens a process is triggered within the Broker • The process determines what happens, how data is transformed and moved from one place to another • Two phase commit is not available, must use a compensating transactions if back-out is desired

  9. Hub & Spoke Design

  10. Broker • The Enterprise Server Broker is the main engine • Message repository when using guaranteed delivery • Data transformation • Event handling • Publish and subscribe • Synchronous messaging • “Near real time” updating

  11. Adapters • Adapters are configured to interface with our infrastructure • PeopleSoft (via app server) • Directory (via LDAP) • Oracle • Informix • Student (via CUSSP) • File IO (flat files) • XML

  12. Other Adapters • Adapters we haven’t purchased but may have interest in the future… • Email • JMS • JavaBeans • Vantive • Microsoft SQL • ODBC & JDBC

  13. APIs • We’ll probably use these • Java • JMS • These are available, but we don’t have plans to use them today • C • CORBA

  14. Certificate in use with SSL Security

  15. Developer GUI Tool

  16. Process Diagram

  17. Document Types

  18. Monitor Application

  19. Document Tracker

  20. Broker Web Administration

  21. Admin Web Server Statistics

  22. Directory Integration Component

  23. Issues • Where is the starting point(data of record)? • What does the business process require to be done? • Should a workflow process be triggered on the event completion of XXX? • This is all new tools but yet old problems. • WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY !!
