Your iWay adapter works in conjunction with one of the following components:
When hosted in an iWay environment, the adapter is configured through iWay Service Manager. The iWay Transformer enables you to customize transformations to and from HL7 message format and XML. For more information on using the iWay Transformer, see iWay Transformer User's Guide.
iWay Explorer is used to configure system connections, create services, and configure event capabilities. When the adapter is hosted in a third-party application server environment, you can configure iWay Explorer to work in a web services environment.
iWay Service Manager is the heart of the Universal Adapter Framework and is an open transport service bus. Service Manager uses graphical tools to create sophisticated integration services without writing custom integration code by:
Its capability to manage complex adapter interactions makes it ideally suited to be the foundation of a service-oriented architecture.
iWay Transformer is a rules-based, data transformation tool that converts an input file of one data format to an output file of another data format. iWay Transformer's easy to use graphical user interface enables you to design transformation projects specific to your needs.
iWay Explorer uses a tree metaphor to introspect a system for metadata. The explorer enables you to create XML schemas and web services for the associated object. In addition, you can create ports and channels to listen for events in a system. External applications that access a system through the adapter use either XML schemas or web services to pass data between the external application and the adapter.
The iWay Business Services Provider (iBSP) exposes, as web services, enterprise assets that are accessible from adapters regardless of the programming language or the particular operating system.
iBSP simplifies the creation and execution of web services when running:
Coupled with a platform and language independent messaging protocol called SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), XML enables application development and integration by assembling previously built components from multiple web services.
