Controlling Integrations with Policy
Integration Workload Management
– Provide intelligent mechanisms to control processing speed
– Most common scenario is to reduce back-end server load
– Design allows more policy-based processing over time
– Can be applied to new or existing integration data flows

Policy defines threshold limits and relevant actions

– Set thresholds for integration data flow throughput
– Specify actions at threshold, for example:
• NOTIFY: Higher (or lower) than threshold generates publication
• DELAY: Excessive workload will have latency added to shape
throughput

Web Console used to manage WLM policy

– Sophisticated behaviour controllable by broker WLM policy
– Workload can be managed across classes of message flows (e.g. batch vs. online)
– Policies stored in local registry, and dynamically configurable
– Developer can also specify limits as integration data flow properties
Managing Unresponsive Integration Flows
Target unresponsive flows through policy to improve overall system reliability
– Additional WLM option aimed at unresponsive integration flows
– An integration flow can become unresponsive for multiple reasons
• e.g. Waiting for external system, infinite loop, deadlock, malformed XML

Waiting for
response

Flexible configuration, actions and reporting options

– Specify threshold at which flows are considered unresponsive, e.g. 30 seconds for processing
• Configured via WLM policy, or directly on the flow in the BAR file
– Define action to trigger when flow considered unresponsive
• Administrative notification through a new “timeout exceeded” event message
– If flow eventually continues through to completion, a second event is published
• Restart the integration server (execution group) on which the unresponsive flow is running
– New command option to forcibly stop integrations manually: mqsistopmsgflow –f
Understand and Act on In-flight data
Provide business insight during integration data flows
– e.g. intelligent decision making; score then action in-flight request based on a business rule
– User creates (e.g.) if-then-else rules using tool of choice (Excel, Word, Eclipse…)
– The bus acts on these rules in flow, e.g. for business level routing

New Decision Service node

– Identifies inputs to business rules from in-flight data
• e.g. details of book order from request
• e.g. the item price from key fields…
– Invokes built-in rule engine to perform business logic
• Open interfaces for 3rd party and user engines
– Captures rules output for downstream processing
• Business objects mapped back to in-flight data

Create rules directly inside Integration Bus toolkit

– Significant rules authoring facility built-in
– Automatic package & deploy with integration assets
– Dynamically reconfigure business rule using configurable
service policy
– Optionally refer to business rules on external ODM decision server
– Exploit separate full ODM Decision Center for BRMS scenarios

Embedded rules engine for high performance

• Succeeds IAM9 Support Pac
– Rule update notification ensures consistent rule execution
– Optional governance of rules through remote ODM Decision Center
Integration Services for SOA
Integration Services are well-defined containers of integration logic
– Integration Services are created for and reside inside the bus
– Interface is expressed via WSDL with a port type
• Interface and structure are both required
– e.g. Request, response & fault handlers per operation
• Default binding is created out of the box

Integration Services are defined through standard resources

– WSDL (port type) defines service interface
– Service interface defines one or more operations
– Service Descriptor (XML) ties service interface with implementation
– Each operation is implemented as an integration subflow
• Supporting resources also associated (e.g. Maps, XSDs)
• Resources optionally reside in libraries
– Main entry point is implemented as an integration flow

Simple lifecycle for services creation and management

– Simple creation of new integration services
• Creating a new “Service” container
