iWay adapter offerings consist of adapters for accessing and integrating information and systems across many different protocols and data sources. iWay Software provides over 200 types of adapters connecting everything from legacy systems and databases to the most recent advancements in information technology. Different iWay installation packages include different adapters, so the available adapters depend on which version of iWay you install. The following are some of the most common adapters installed with iWay:

AS1 AS2 Baan BroadVision CICS Transaction Adapter (XML) ClarifyCRM (Amdocs ClarifyCRM) CORBA DB2 Net Driver eMail Emulation (for 3270/5250) ESRI (GEOLoad) HIPAA HL7 IMS

Informix (iWay Adapter for RDBMS) iWay/WebFOCUS (EDA) Server J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne (OneWorld) J.D. Edwards WorldSoft JMS Lawson Manugistics MFG/PRO Microsoft .NET Microsoft Message Queueing (MSMQ) Microsoft SQL Server (iWay Adapter for RDBMS) MQ Series (IBM WebSphere MQ)

MySAP Oracle (iWay Adapter for RDBMS) Oracle Applications (E-Business Suite) Oracle AQ PeopleSoft Remedy RDBMS SAP R/3 Siebel SWIFT Sybase (iWay Adapter for RDBMS) TIBCO Rendezvous Tuxedo (Transaction Adapter for BEA Tuxedo) VSAM

iWay Service Manager is a highly scalable enterprise service bus, with fully integrated service design-time workbench and web services creation/deployment capabilities. It provides a hosting environment for adapters and includes components for integrating data, applications, systems, and protocols. It also provides a Web-based configuration and monitoring tool referred to as the iWay Service Manager Administration Console.

iWay Service Manager is a stand-alone Java application and requires only a Java Virtual Machine to run.

Note: The iWay Service Manager was previously know as iWay Adapter Manager.

iWay Extensions supplement iWay Service Manager by adding or extending capabilities for servicing messages. The extension services integrate with the Service Manager's native services during execution and configuration. Extensions can be installed along with iWay or as packages after iWay Service Manager is installed. The following extensions can be installed along with iWay:

• Gateway. Links two or more iWay Service Managers in a message receiver/message executor relationship for the purpose of tunneling through secure firewalls.
• Enterprise Index. Provides indexing services through the Google Search Appliance.
• LDAP High Water Mark Listener. Provides the ability to read records from an LDAP if an attribute is defined with increasing values, such as a timestamp of the last change.
• RDBMS High Water Mark Listener. Provides the ability to read records from an RDBMS if a column or set of columns is defined with increasing values, such as a timestamp of the last change.
• SOAP JMS. Provides the capability to receive SOAP messages over HTTP and send them to JMS.
• Service Monitor. iWay Service Monitor provides service monitoring, usage control, and policy management for all iWay services (channels and business services) that are implemented using iWay Service Manager.
• Telnet Control Console. Used to remotely access the iWay Service Manager command line console via a Telnet session. The Telnet session can connect to any iSM instance running either in the foreground or the background.
• Hot Backup. Hot backup allows a secondary iWay Service Manager system to act as the backup for a live iWay Service Manager. The backup iWay Service Manager will take over if the live iWay Service Manager fails.
• 5.x Compatibility. Installs the iwxcompat iSM package to include a set of obsolete services for backward compatibility purposes.
• PGP Encryption Components. Supports standard OpenPGP, as specified in RFC 2440.The support includes decrypting incoming messages and encrypting outgoing messages using simple PGP and key pair (public key) PGP.
• Security Developers Tools. Provides a utility program for signing and verifying files.
• Data Quality Center. iWay Data Quality Center (DQC) is an essential tool for complex data quality management. iWay DQC is designed not only to evaluate, monitor, and manage data quality in different information systems, but also to prevent incorrect data from entering these systems in the first place.
• Migration Tools. Tools to migrate an iSM 5.x release to a 6.x release, including providers, special registers, and schemas. It also includes tools to compare iFL functions and XPaths.

iWay Transformer is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool for specifying how records and fields map to one another. Transformer supports one-to-one mapping relationships as well as one-to-many, or many-to-one relationships. The documents created by Transformer are characterized as transformation templates and can be used throughout iWay.

iWay Designer is a GUI tool that builds workflows for use with iWay. Workflows model business processes and control tasks in a correct sequence. A workflow definition serves to control the sequence in which iWay components (for example, agents, adapters, transforms, and so on) are executed.

iWay Business Services Provider (iBSP) provides transformation and adapter hosting functionality as well as an environment for developing, running, and integrating Web services. It provides a transformation and integration engine for processing XML files and SOAP messages for exchanges with Web services applications. Service Manager iBSP runs as a component of iWay Service Manager.

Note: iWay Business Services Provider (iBSP) was formerly known as iWay Business Services Engine (iBSE). Some references, files, and prompts may still use the older name.

iWay Explorer is a GUI tool that uses iWay adapters to create schemas and Web services for use with iWay components or other XML or Web services-based programs. It enables you to quickly generate schemas and publish Web services from ERP/CRM and RDBM systems, without in-depth knowledge of those systems.

Several versions of iWay Explorer are available:

• iWay Designer iWay Explorer is integrated with iWay Designer.
• Eclipse Plugin iWay Explorer can be embed in the open source Eclipse development environment using iWay Integration Tools for Eclipse.
