Activity #1: Instruction: Answer The Following Questions

The document discusses application integration methods. It explains that the goal of integration is to increase productivity by allowing systems to share information. The main challenges of integration are network unreliability, distributed systems, slow networks, and data heterogeneity. The four main integration methods are file transfer, shared databases, remote procedure invocation, and messaging. File transfer involves converting files for different applications. Shared databases allow simultaneous access without data transmission. Remote procedure invocation allows applications to request and modify each other's data. Messaging sends large amounts of data quickly.

Activity #1:

Instruction: Answer the following questions.


1. What is the importance of system or software integrations?
The primary reason for organizations to use system integration is to
increase productivity and quality of operations. The goal of the integration
is to get the organization's various IT systems to "talk to each other" in
order to speed up information flows and reduce operational costs.

2. What are the fundamental challenges of integration?


Network unreliability - Integration solutions must transport data from one
computer to another. From one network to another when compared to a
single computer-based process, distributed computing must be prepared to
deal with a much larger set of potential problems and then separated by
continents. These steps may cause a delay or an interruption.

Distributed systems - A distributed system is one in which the components


are spread across multiple networked computers and communicate and
coordinate their actions by passing messages from one system to another.
Slow networks - When your internet connection is poor, data transmission
can be disrupted, and data cannot be transferred to the database.

Heterogeneity - The data models presented here can be viewed, but they
do not correspond to what you want to learn from the data. There is hope
that the representation is incorrect and inaccurate.

3. What are four methods used in application integration? Explain each


method.
File Transfer - Allow each application to create files containing data that
other applications will need. Integrators are in charge of converting files
into multiple forms. Depending on the nature of the business, produce the
files at regular intervals.

Shared Database - Many applications can be utilized simultaneously in the


same database without data being transmitted.

Remote Procedure Invocation - If an application requires information that


belongs to another application, it must request it from that application.
enquires of that application. If one program needs to make changes to the
data of another, it does so. As a result, a call to the other program is
made. Each application has the ability to modify its own internal data
without affecting the others be harmed by the application.

Messaging - This messaging protocol is used to send large amounts of data


quickly and reliably.
