Chapter1. Overview of the connector This chapter describes the connector component of the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter for i2 and the relevant business integration system architecture. The i2 connector integrates with i2 application modules through i2’s Common Integration Services (CIS) API. CIS API from i2 is an implementation of JCA Common Client Interface. i2 has a suite of application modules that support CIS. The i2 connector is metadata driven, has object discovery capability

Component Description CIS server Integration container which handles operation invocations. Integration container and CIS server are used interchangeably in this document. How the connector works The i2 connector is a CIS (Common Integration Services) client. It connects to the CIS client API in a non-managed environment, that is, it connects to the CIS adapter directly without an application server. No authentication is necessary (no user name or password is required). At present, the CIS clien

Status updates No status updates are made to the i2 applications. Typically, the event status, for example, SUCCESS, FAIL, UNSUBSCRIBED, is written to the application’s event store. Since no event store is maintained for i2, the status update strategy is not relevant for the i2 connector. Error messages, if any, are logged to the i2 adapter log file. For more information, see Chapter5, “Troubleshooting and error handling”, on page 27. Event retrieval For the i2 connector, polling is single threa
