iWay Adapters - What is an Adapter ?
 An adapter is a software component that exposes an
application’s functionality and data to iWay Service Manager
using open standards.
 XML is the data format for the business level service.
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 10
Adapter Environments
 iWay Adapters require only a J2SE environment.
 iWay Adapters are resold in several environments:
 BEA WebLogic Server
 Oracle Fusion
 SAP Netweaver (XI)
 iWay Adapters can be deployed under any J2EE compliant
Application Server:
 JBOSS
 IBM WebSphere

iWay Adapters – iWAF (iWay Adapter Framework)


Component with consistent set of XML and Java interfaces for
Design Time and Run Time.
Through these Interfaces, iWAF provides:
 Design Time metadata browsing capability
 Web Service presentation
 JCA wrapping capability
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 13
Adapter Classes
 iWay Adapters are divided in 2 classes:
 Event adapter, designed to publish information from the
application.
 Service adapter, designed to consume messages into
application.
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 14
Adapter Classes - Event Adapters
 Event Adapters perform 3 functions:
 Trigger an “event” that occurs inside the running EIS and


extract data about the event from the EIS into the adapter.
Transform event data from the EIS-specific format to an
XML document that conforms to the XML schema for the
event. The XML schema is based on metadata in the EIS.
Propagate the event.

Adapter Classes - Service Adapters
 Service Adapters perform 3 functions:
 Process the XML Request into the EIS specific data

format.
Invoke the underlying function in the EIS and wait for its
response.
Transform the response from the EIS specific data format
to an XML document that conforms to the response XML
schema for the service. The response XML schema is
based on metadata in the EIS.

iWay Service Manager 5.5 SM
Architecture
What is an iWay Channel
 Easily configurable constructs for:
 accessing applications
 applying transformations (pre-emit & post-emit)
 receiving or emitting documents
 Channels help organize how you design components and
then deploy them for execution.
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 20
3 Phases of a Channel
 Every Channel consists of an Inlet, Route and Outlet
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 21
iWay Service Manager -Channels
 Users will assemble conduits called Channels
 easily configurable components for accessing application, applying

transformation, receiving or emitting documents into complete
These channels define a complete integration operation: receipt of inputs,
service processing and transmission of outputs using any supported
protocol
 Channels contain references to Inlets, Routes and Outlets
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 22
iWay Service Manager -Inlets
 Inlets defines how a message enters the channel.
 Each channel contains exactly one Inlet.
 In the Inlet, the message may be decrypted and or preparsed
(turned into XML) and then assigned to a route for further
processing.
Each inlet contains a sequence of
components defined as follows:
Listener ==> Decryptor ==>
Preparser
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 23
iWay Service Manager -Listeners
 Listeners are components that

monitor communication protocols
waiting for input documents or
messages.
A listener can be defined for the
following protocols:
Protocol
Name
AQ
Description
AS1
AS/1 protocol
AS2
AS/2 protocol
CS3
A TCP port is monitored for traffic in iWay’s CS3
protocol
iAM acts as an email client to a designated email
system to retrieve messages sent to that system
EMAIL
File
FTP
FTPD
HTTP
Oracle AQ queues exchange documents
A file or subdirectory of files is monitored for
documents
Requests and responses are exchanged with an FTP
server
FTP Daemon – iAM operates as an FTP server so
that clients can send documents directly to it.
Receives a request from a browser client, adding a
security layer
Internal
JMSQ
Java Messaging queues exchange documents
MQ
IBM MQSeries queues and queue managers
exchange documents
MQJMS
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 24
iWay Service Manager -Listeners
 Listener Types (Continued)
Protocol
Name
MQSI
Description
Documents are exchanged with iWay nodes
operating in an IBM WMQI message flow
MSMQ
RDBMS
Data is automatically retrieved from any JDBC data
source table using an SQL query
Relay
A special purpose listener is used with WebSphere
MQ for remote data access from another
instance of iAM working with WMQI
SAP
A special-purpose listener receives an Idoc from an
SAP R/3 system
Triggers a custom agent to be executed at a regular
interval to perform the required operations
Schedule
SOAP
Receives requests containing Stored Procedure calls
using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP)
Sonic
SonicMQ queues exchange documents
TCP
A TCP port is monitored for the arrival of a
document
Exchanges messages with TIBCO Rendezvous
Tibrv

iWay Service Manager - Routes
 A Route is defined as a path the message takes thru the
Channel.
 Each Channel must make reference to one or more routes.
 Along each route transformations and business logic are
applied to the message.
Routes contain references to Transformers,
Processes and Outlets. A Route describes the path
that a document takes during its passage through
the system. It is the job of the inlet to convert the
input message to a process able document.
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 26
iWay Service Manager – Outlets
 An Outlet determines how a message leaves a Channel. Each
 Channel contains one or more outlets.
 In the outlet, the message maybe transformed or encrypted
and finally emitted by the system.
 It is important to note that each message may pass thru
multiple outlets of a channel.
Outets contain references to Preemitters, Encryptors and Emitters.
Once a document has been processed, it must be sent on to one or more
designated recipients. This is the job of the outlet. The outlet is
responsible for all aspects of preparing the document for emission and
then emitting it.
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 27
iWay Service Manager – Build/Deploy/Start
 Create a Channel
 Add an Inlet to the Channel.
 Create and Add a Listener to the Inlet.
 Add a Route to the Channel.
 Add a Transform to the Route.
 Add a Process Flow to the Route.
 Add an Outlet to the Channel.
 Build the Channel – create the Channel Archive file.
 Deploy the Channel to iSM.
 Start the Channel.
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 28
Build a Channel
 Building a Channel creates an Archive (.car) file. This file is
used to deploy to iSM.
Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 29
Deploy and Start a Channel
 The Channel Archive must be deployed to the iSM Server
 The Channel is started, initiating the Listener Protocol.
