BizTalk and MOM Messaging
BizTalk
Utilities provides a set of
enterprise adapters that enable direct integration with popular MOM
(messaging-oriented middleware) platforms.
How it works
As shown in the following
illustration, separate adapter components handle incoming and outgoing
communication with external or internal messaging products.
Each adapter typically consists of the following set of components:
1.
A definition wizard, which guides you through an
easy-to-follow step-by-step process for creating provider definitions. Each
definition represents a MOM connection point, configurable to how you plan to
communicate with the messaging server or queue. Below are examples of user
interfaces provided by definition wizards.
2.
An application integration component (AIC) specially designed
to interface with a particular messaging product. The AIC is parameter-driven,
meaning that once deployed, you associate a definition with the AIC in order to
establish a communication channel with a specific MOM implementation. The
simple dialog box below shows how easy a definition can be attached to the AIC.
3.
A receive function designed to retrieve and/or poll MOM data
sources. Each adapter’s receive function handles all incoming data
transmissions. In other words, the receive function can represent the
“response” end of a typical request and response messaging exchange. Each
receive function is accompanied by a corresponding configuration wizard. The
following screens show typical wizard dialog forms.
Summary
Adapters have become a cornerstone
technology in contemporary enterprise architectures. They not only enable
integration between disparate platforms, they leverage the messaging model
provided by contemporary solutions, such as BizTalk, IBM MQ Series and JMS
servers. Building your environment with the quality adapter technology provided
by BizTalk
Utilities, is key to establishing a robust communications framework.
