Product Details
The XCS Enterprise Integration Platform (XCS eiPlatform) is an
integration server that enables any system to be interfaced with any
other system or systems regardless of platform, operating system,
database, data format or communications protocol. It is a complete Java
framework that leverages application server technology, web services and
industry XML standards to support the operation of internal and external
system interfaces and seamless trading partner integration. The XCS
eiPlatform is the runtime complement to the XCS eiConsole.
How it Works
The Listener component "listens" for information available from the
Source system. A comprehensive list of Listeners is supported including:
Database SQL, Directory, Document Style Web Service, Email (POP3), FTP,
FTP Over SSL (Implicit and Explicit), HTTP Form/Post, HTTP Post, JMS,
MSMQ, Programmable, RMI, SOAP Web Service, and WebSphere MQ. Custom
Listeners may also be added through the use of the XCS eiPlatform
Extension Interface.
After a Listener has received a transaction, but before it is passed to
the next stage, the transaction can be passed to a sequence of
Processors. A Processor is a modular component that is capable of
performing various operations such as: Decryption, Decompression,
EBCDIC/ASCII conversion, MIME Multi-part Processing, SOAP Unwrap,
Validation, and many, many more.
The Transform component transforms the data from the proprietary format
of the Source system into an industry standard or common (canonical)
format. All of the popular XML standards are supported. Companies can
also define their own "common model", extend an existing one, or use a
hybrid representing a combination of standards.
The Router Component routes the data to the target system or systems
using a routing rules engine. The Router component also captures and
reports transaction detail, audit information and errors.
A second Transform component transforms the data from the
industry-standard XML format to the format(s) of the Target system or
systems.
A second Processor may be configured to perform operations to prepare
the data for transport to the target system.
The Transport component is responsible for the delivery of the data to
the Target system or systems in the exact format, transport and
encryption method required. Transports include Database SQL, Directory
Drop, Document Style Web Service, Email (SMTP), FTP, FTP Over SSL
(Implicit and Explicit), HTTP Form/Post, HTTP Post, JMS, MSMQ,
Programmable, RMI, SOAP Web Service, and WebSphere MQ. Custom Transports
may also be added through the use of the XCS eiPlatform Extension
Interface.
A single interface deployed to the XCS eiPlatform Java framework can
have as many source systems and target systems as required.
Additionally, an unlimited number of interfaces can be deployed to a
single instance of the XCS eiPlatform.
All of the components that comprise the XCS eiPlatform framework are
written in Java. The XCS eiPlatform is compatible with all of the
popular application servers, operating systems, and platforms, so it is
certain to work within your IT infrastructure. All of the components are
easily configurable and extensible through open APIs.
