Patterns

Patterns provide reusable design

with points of variability

With integration development so simple, why am I standing up at #WTUDE2014 talking about programming languages?


10

Sometimes, it needs

just a little tweak


11

Reasons to consider programming environments and languages

§  Customize to address a unique or specific requirement – As with all areas of IT, there are occasions when the out of the box solutions do not quite

address all details of the requirement. Custom code is programmed into the integration flows to resolve these cases.

§  Re-use of existing integration assets – For example, in cases where a previous solution was developed on another integration

platform, there is a desire to retain some components, rather than develop new.

§  Connecting to existing applications – This is a special type of re-use where the component being re-used is an interface that is

described in a particular programming language.

§  Custom tools to manage and operate the integration solution – For example, to embed to controls for the integration into an existing dashboard or to

program automated deployement


12

When programming languages matter

§ Connecting to existing applications

§ Customize bus to address a unique requirement

§ Re-use of existing integration assets

§ Custom admin tools

ESQL Introduction

§  Excellent for database interaction

§  Syntactically similar to SQL

§  Invoke static Java methods and database stored procedures

§  Supports declarative and procedural programming styles

§  Powerful SELECT statement can be applied to messages as well as database tables (or a mix of the two at the same time – can even be nested!)

§  Access to all message domains

§  Can address all message headers and environment trees

§  Toolkit support with editor for syntax highlighting and context assist

§  ESQL debugger integrated with Flow Debugger


.NET

ESQL SQL + Procedural Extensions

§  Typed user defined variables and constants DECLARE var1 CHARACTER 'Hello World'; DECLARE var1 CONSTANT CHAR 'Hello World'; –  If not initialized they are initialized to NULL for you

§  Data types CHARACTER DECIMAL FLOAT INT BIT BLOB BOOLEAN

§  Data and time DATE TIME TIMESTAMP INTERVAL GMTTIME GMTTIMESTAMP

§  Operators – For manipulation and comparison of variables, etc BETWEEN IN LIKE IS (NOT)

§  Conditional constructs IF, ELSEIF, ELSE, CASE, WHEN

§  Several looping constructs WHILE, REPEAT, LOOP, FOR

§  Functions – Over 80 built-in functions SUBSTRING LENGTH UPPER CONTAINS STARTSWITH RAND ROUND CEILING FLOOR


.NET

ESQL Functions and Procedures

§  Main() – the entry point for the Compute node CREATE FUNCTION Main() RETURNS BOOLEAN BEGIN ...

SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.Money.Amount = twice(myInt); CALL multiplyBy2(myInt);

... RETURN TRUE; --causes message propagation END;

§  User-defined functions CREATE FUNCTION twice(IN p INTEGER) RETURNS INTEGER BEGIN RETURN p * 2; END; CREATE PROCEDURE multiplyBy2(INOUT p INTEGER) BEGIN SET p = p * 2; END;


.NET

ESQL Working with Messages

§  Field References –  Path syntax to address the tree elements –  Starts with ‘correlation name’ to identify root of tree

SET OutputRoot = InputRoot; -- copies the whole message

SET OutputRoot.MQMD = NULL; -- removes the MQMD header

SET OutputRoot.XML.doc.title = -- will generate the output InputBody.session[4].title; -- tree if it doesn’t exist SET OutputRoot.XML.Library.Publication[] = InputBody.library.books.book[] -- copies all elements (deep copy)


.NET

ESQL Transformation using SELECT

§  The SELECT implicitly loops over the repeating ‘book’ element in the input message – A ‘Publication’ element is created in the output for each one

§  The children elements of ‘book’ are mapped – Element names are changed (‘title’ -> ‘BookTitle’, etc) – Values are copied (deep copy) – Arrays and structures are built (author[] -> Authors.Name[]) – Note that nested repeating structures can be transformed with nested SELECTS

SET OutputRoot.XML.Library.Publication[] =

SELECT BOOK.title AS BookTitle,

BOOK.author[] AS Authors.Name[],

BOOK.isbn AS ISBN,

BOOK.price AS Price

FROM InputBody.library.books.book[] AS BOOK;


.NET

ESQL Database Access

§  SELECT statement –  Creates an entire message tree from a database query SET OutputRoot.XMLNSC.Response.Services.Service[] = (SELECT P.SVCCODE AS Code, P.SVCDESC AS Description FROM Database.SERVICES as P);

§  INSERT statement –  Allows you to add a row to a database table INSERT INTO Database.Prices(ITEM, ITEMPRICE) VALUES (Body.Msg.Item, Body.Msg.ItemPrice);

§  UPDATE statement –  Changes one or more existing rows in a database table UPDATE Database.Prices AS P SET ITEMPRICE = Body.Msg.ItemPrice WHERE P.ITEM = Body.Msg.Item;

§  DELETE statement –  Removes one or more existing rows in a database table DELETE FROM Database.{DSN}.{Schema}.Prices AS P WHERE P.ITEM = Body.Msg.Item;

Highlights of other languages

§  C – C header file importer for DFDL – C API for user defined nodes, parsers and user exits

§  COBOL – Copybook importer for DFDL – CICS Request and IMS Request node

§  PHP – PHP node for transformation/routing/connectivity – PHP support in pattern authoring for template based generation

§  Built in node for XSLT – Uses xalan XSL processor – Compiles and caches stylesheets


64

Highlights for more other languages

§  Ruby – Ruby based recipes for Chef scripts

§  BPMN2 –  Import process definitions from IBM BPM – Publish Integration Services to process definitions

§  BAL – Embedded rules execution engine – Rules can be authored in IIB and deployed with bar file – Author in Decision Center and deploy via Decision Server for central BRMS control

§  ABAP – Discover BAPI interface for ABAP callout to message flow


Summary § Keep it simple, if possible

§ When customization is justified, the choice is yours

§ Watch this space for more in future

§ Tell us if we are missing anything 65


Thank You !!!!
