webMethods Chosen because… Chosen because… –Features –Cost Name is misleading… Name is misleading… –It is an Integration Broker –The “web” part of the name makes people think it’s only for web access… untrue.

What can it do? Just a few examples Just a few examples –Notice changes to PS data and apply the changes to the directory or student data –Notice changes to the directory data and apply the changes to PS or student –Notice data changes to any table or field in an Oracle or Informix database and publish events –Notice changes in flat files and process as appropriate
7
Goals When data is altered in our PeopleSoft system populate those changes to the Directory, without any changes to the PeopleSoft applications or the Directory software. When data is altered in our PeopleSoft system populate those changes to the Directory, without any changes to the PeopleSoft applications or the Directory software. Same for Student System. Same for Student System. Provide an infrastructure to allow these types of interactions between other systems Provide an infrastructure to allow these types of interactions between other systems
8
Event Driven Event driven Event driven –Integrations are built by a developer –When an event happens a process is triggered within the Broker –The process determines what happens, how data is transformed and moved from one place to another –Two phase commit is not available, must use a compensating transactions if back-out is desired
