Synchronizing an item to a back-end application other than a file system

Describes synchronizing an item to a back-end application that is not a file system

Description

In the context of the Product Information Management for Retailers solution, a Process_Reviewed_Item collaboration object's Sync port is connected to the JTextConnector, which writes the item to a file system. By setting the JTextConnector's BOPrefix property, the filename can be prefixed to match the requirements of any back-end application. Also, the Sync port can be attached to any other connector that supports a different back-end application, such as a legacy system. IBM® WebSphere® technology adapters can provide interfaces to different types of back-end systems such as databases or queue interfaces.
