multi-threaded, or be capable of using Connector Agent Parallelism and be configured for multiple processes (setting the Parallel Process Degree configuration property greater than 1).

Important: To determine whether a specific connector is single- or multi-threaded, see the installing and configuring chapter of its adapter guide.

The ConcurrentEventTriggeredFlows property has no effect on connector polling, which is single-threaded and performed serially.

ContainerManagedEvents

Setting this property to JMS allows a JMS-enabled connector with a JMS event store to provide guaranteed event delivery, in which an event is removed from the source queue and placed on the destination queue as a single JMS transaction. This property can also be set to no value.

Notes:

1.When ContainerManagedEvents is set to JMS, you must also configure the following properties to enable guaranteed event delivery: PollQuantity = 1 to 500, SourceQueue = SOURCEQUEUE. In addition, you must configure a data handler with the MimeType, DHClass, and DataHandlerConfigMOName (optional) properties. To set those values, use the Data Handler tab of Connector Configurator. The fields for the values under the Data Handler tab will be displayed only if you have set ContainerManagedEvents to JMS.

2.When ContainerManagedEvents is set to JMS, the connector does not call its pollForEvents() method, thereby disabling that method’s functionality.

The default value is JMS.

This property only appears if the DeliveryTransport property is set to the value JMS.

ControllerStoreAndForwardMode

Sets the behavior of the connector controller after it detects that the destination application-specific component is unavailable. If this property is set to true and the destination application-specific component is unavailable when an event reaches InterChange Server, the connector controller blocks the request to the application-specific component. When the application-specific component becomes operational, the controller forward the request to it.

Important: If the destination application’s application-specific component becomes unavailable after the connector controller forwards a service call request to it, the connector controller fails the request.

If this property is set to false, the connector controller begins failing all service call requests as soon as it detects that the destination application-specific component is unavailable.

The default is true.

ControllerTraceLevel

Level of trace messages for the connector controller. The default is 0.

This wide compatibility ensures that organizations can automate processes and share data effortlessly, reducing the time and overhead typically associated with manual integrations.

Another notable feature of the integration adapter is its support for various messaging protocols, including JMS, MQ, and HTTP. This multi-protocol support enables organizations to easily implement message-driven architectures by facilitating reliable and asynchronous communication between disparate systems. As a result, businesses can achieve greater scalability and responsiveness in their operations.

The technology stack behind IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter also incorporates standards-based protocols, such as Web Services (SOAP, REST) and XML messaging. This adherence to industry standards ensures that the adapter can easily integrate with modern cloud-based applications and services, providing organizations with the flexibility to adapt to evolving technological landscapes.

In addition to its core integration capabilities, the WebSphere Business Integration Adapter supports comprehensive monitoring and management features. Administrators can easily track the performance of integration flows, monitor message processing, and manage exceptions through an intuitive dashboard. This visibility enables organizations to proactively address issues before they escalate, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted operations.

Another significant characteristic of the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter is its scalability. Organizations can deploy the adapter in various environments, from on-premise data centers to cloud infrastructures. This flexibility allows businesses to scale their integration solutions as needed, accommodating growing data volumes and increasing transaction demands with ease.

Moreover, the adapter's modular architecture makes it easy to customize and extend. Businesses can enhance existing functionalities or integrate additional capabilities to meet specific requirements, ensuring that their integration solutions remain relevant and effective in an ever-changing business landscape.

In conclusion, the IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapter is a powerful tool for organizations looking to enhance their system integrations. With its extensive features, support for multiple technologies, and capacity for customization, it positions businesses for success in an increasingly interconnected world. By leveraging this adapter, organizations can achieve greater efficiency, agility, and operational excellence in their integration efforts.
