The Integration Appliance combines data integration, transformation, routing, monitoring, and management capabilities in a single product. During run time, the Integration Appliance shares data and processing among databases, enterprise applications, legacy systems, and business applications.

Capabilities

  • Broad support for the following industry-standard formats:
    • XML (W3C XML Schemas, DTDs, and XML documents)
    • Flat File, raw text, and raw binary data types
    • Supports many character encodings including UTF-8, US-ASCII, ISO- 8859-1, SHIFT_JIS, EBDIC-XML-US, and EUC-JP
    • Commercial database systems, including Informix®, Sybase, DB2®, MySQL, Oracle and others through Sequelink.
    • System-specific protocols, such as SAP IDOC and IBM® MQ Series
    • Web Services
  • Ability to transform data easily from one format to another format, for example: Flat File data to XML data.
  • Guaranteed message delivery by means of a built-in message repository that holds all messages processed by the Integration Appliance.
  • Support for a variety of application programming styles: synchronous and asynchronous (request/reply, store-andforward, publish/subscribe).
  • Support for data transfer through configurable ports for HTTP, secure HTTP (HTTPS), FTP, secure FTP (SFTP).
  • Support for client-side PKI authentication—the ability to connect to a secure server from the Integration Appliance.
