Message Flows
Output targetTransform
Input source Output target
Output target (Failure)
• Reusable
• Scalable
• Transactional
• The building blocks of message
flows
• Each node type performs a
different (input, output or
processing) action
• Many different node types
– Grouped into logical categories in
the editor

IBM Integration Bus
Powerful transformation and programming
options
• Graphical, easy to use
• Drag and Drop fields, apply functions
• XML to XML Transformation
• Uses standard XSL Stylesheets
• Describe powerful transformations quickly
• Uses SQL-based language (ESQL)
• Uses Java programming language
• Ability to use XPath, JAXB
• Invoke general purpose logic in any .NET supported language
• Windows only
Easily Address Message Elements
public class jcn extends MbJavaComputeNode {
public void evaluate(MbMessageAssembly assembly) throws MbException {
...
String lastName =
(String)assembly.getMessage().evaluateXPath(“/Body/Order/Name/Last”);
...
}
}
IF Body.Order.Date < ‘2008/01/01’ THEN
INSERT INTO Database.OldOrders (LastName,Item,Quantity)
VALUES (Body.Order.Name.Last,
Body.Order.Item,
Body.Order.Quantity);
ENDIF;
IBM and third-party extensions
• Many other nodes and features available through product extensions
• Write your own User-Defined Nodes or Connectors
– Native node framework available in C and Java
– OT4i connector framework provides means to implement full lifecycle, including endpoint
discovery

V1.0.0.0Jun 2014
V1.0.0.1Oct 2014
Applications and LibrariesIntegration Services and REST APIs
• Containers to develop, deploy and manage your integration solutions.
• Application
– Group resources for a specific integration solution
– Applications can reference libraries
• Library
– Group common resources for reuse
– Shared libraries provide full resource reuse
– deploy and manage one copy of those resources
• Integration Service
– Specialised application – Implement a Web Service described by a
WSDL
• REST API
– Specialised application - Implement a REST API described by a
swagger document.
Architected for Performance and Scalability
Shared Libraries
User Roles and Environments
• Integration Developer
– Develops message flows,
message models etc.
– Unit Tests on local machine
– Creates Broker Archive (BAR)
files containing required
artefacts
• Administrator
– Customizes BAR for target
environment
– Deploys BAR to target node
– Node and Server
management and operational
control
– Monitoring
Development Test QA Production
IBM Integration Bus on Cloud
• A fully managed Integration Bus service
Hybrid Cloud Deployment
• IIB ‘Switch’ agent makes secure outbound
connection to IIB on Cloud
– Mutually authenticated TLS
– Each customer has dedicated switch server in
the cloud
– No need to open ports in on-prem firewall
• MQ (client) and database connections can be
made from flow in cloud to on-prem queue
manager or database
– Without any changes to IIB flow, or BAR file
DB2
MQ
On-prem systems of record
IIB Switch
secure connection
Hybrid Cloud Deployment
• ‘Callable flows’
– A flow running on-prem can directly
invoke flow running in the cloud
– And vice-versa
– Routed through IIB Switch
– Dynamic routing
• New nodes
– Flow invoke, Callable input/output
• Also supports invocation between
multiple on-prem IIB nodes
– For distributed processing
IIB Switch

v10
• Universal connectivity from anywhere, to anywhere
• Comprehensive protocols, transports, data formats and processing
– Connect to applications, services, systems and devices
– Understands the broadest range of data formats
• Simple programming with patterns and graphical data flows
– Patterns for top-down, parameterized connectivity of common use
cases
– Graphical data flows represent application and service connectivity
• Extensive management, performance and scalability
• New IBM Integration Bus on Cloud fully managed service
– Sign up for a free trial
• Download and use Developer Edition
– Fully functional and free (for dev / test)
