WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: z/OS


Building business integration applications

Business integration means integrating applications, data, and processes within an enterprise or among a set of enterprises. Integration also means developing processes, because there is some logic to the sequence of the applications that are assembled to integrate them. WebSphere® Integration Developer is used to create business integration applications.

This section provides overview information of the development process for a business integration module.

The typical development flow for mediation modules is as follows:

  1. Start WebSphere Integration Developer and open a workspace.
  2. Switch to the Business Integration perspective for development.
  3. Create a library to store artifacts, such as business objects and interfaces that are shared among multiple modules.
  4. Create a new mediation module.
  5. Create the business objects to contain the application data, for example, customer or order data.
  6. Create the interface and define the interface operations for each component. The interface determines what data can be passed from one component to another.
  7. Create and implement the service components.
  8. Build the module assembly by adding the service components, imports, and exports to the assembly diagram. Wire the components together. Bind the imports and exports to a protocol.
  9. Test the module in the integrated test environment.
  10. Deploy the module to WebSphere ESB.
  11. Share the tested module with others on the team by putting it in a repository.
