The Utopian “E” Convergence - EAI, EII, ETL, MOM, B2Bi, BPM, B2B Gateway, BPI, IDM, MDM,…
All the Enterprise Information Management and Integration applications and approaches coming under one roof!
EAI, EII, ETL, MOM, B2Bi, BPM, B2B Gateway, BPI, IDM, MDM,… before anyone comes up with another acronym and glorifies how effective and important it is, there is a natural happening - An evolution of all the above into a utopian convergence of all the Enterprise Information Management and Integration applications and approaches.
The evolution is here!
1970’s were about simple, manual integration
1980’s were about distributed computing
1990s and early 21st century were about packaged enterprise applications. We saw new concepts, technologies, internet-based computing and tools that increased automation. We saw all the acronyms specified earlier and more emerging. Some made a mark and some didn’t.
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) emerges with the punch line “Let us unite everything everywhere and orchestrate them as services”. It applies successful concepts from the past like Object Oriented development, Component Based Design and Enterprise Application Integration technology to an architectural approach for IT system integration.
Datastage Parallel (C++) routine to create files dynamically
A Datastage parallel (C++) routine to create files dynamically for every record in single job. This is a feature most of the time a SOA or real time environment demands. From a stream of sinlge source or multiple sources create files for each input record or for a set of records according to a condition. With this routine you can dynamically pass your file path, file name and extension and also the records to be written into the file. If you want multiple records to be written into one file, store each record in a stage variable with new line character and finally pass that to this routine call. Records can be of different metadata.

Real Time Integration using Datastage
An exploration of an IBM WebSphere DataStage based Real Time Integration Architecture (RTIA) solution featuring event-driven, message-based and trigger based infrastructure for the cost-effective integration of multiple applications. DataStage can operate in real-time, capturing messages or extracting data at a moment’s notice on the same platform that also integrates bulk data. This provides a key advantage over competing offerings that require the use of two separate tools to achieve the same functionality. Read more
Rock your Data Warehousing with SOA
The lazy big giant who serviced the BI world on a periodic basis is getting an overhaul. It’s all set to keep a finger on the pulse of business and ship all the different [BI] pieces that customers require. Service-oriented architecture makes room for data warehousing! This could be the beginning of a perfect marriage.
The relationship between data warehousing and SOA was always complicated. Opposite ends of a spectrum - aggregated vs. federated data, data centric vs. process centric. But how about bringing them together to deliver data as a service? The suitability of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to transform data warehouses into information as a service is addressing this challenge, though with important conditions and qualifications.
