An iWay Resource is any component that can be published to the iWay Service Manager (iSM) Registry. These components have a required physical structure in an Integration Project that consist of a folder containing the files that constitute the component and a .iwresource metadata file containing information about the component that is used by the iSM registry. iWay Integration Tools Suite provides plugins that include tools for working with these components and managing the physical structure in an Integration Project.
Note: The Integration Explorer view is used to present an iWay Resource in a logical manner and hides the physical structure. If required, the physical structure can be viewed using the Navigator view provided by the Eclipse platform.
Transformation definition files contain sets of rules, interpreted and executed by a transformation engine. Transformation is the process by which data is transformed from one structure/format to another.
Note: Any transformation projects that are published to the registry using iWay Transformer are also made available in the Transforms folder. It is recommended to use iWay Transformer when you are publishing any transformation project.
The capability of graphically visualizing a business process is a powerful and necessary component of any business intelligence offering. iWay Designer, an Eclipse platform based design time tool, provides a visual and user-friendly method of creating a business process, also called a process flow.
Through a process flow, you control the sequence in which tasks are performed and the destination of the output from each task in the process flow. Each process flow you create is a single unit of work made up of one or more process objects, such as Email, Adapter, or Emitter, graphically represented by icons and connected by lines that establish a relationship between the objects.
When the design of a process flow is complete, you can confirm that the objects and their relationships meet the design criteria through the compilation process. You can also test the process flow by executing it with an actual input document to see results. When you are satisfied that the process flow is stable, you can publish it, making it available to iWay Service Manager.
