Real-Time Issues

April 17, 2016 by Manoj Kumar Reddy

https://iibdeveloper.wordpress.com/author/iibdeveloper/page/2/ 7/25
4/2/2019 Manoj Kumar Reddy | IIB Developer | Page 2

The following scenarios are wri en by Neha Upadhyay & Manoj Kumar

EXCEPTION HANDLING :

Here we are explaining how the message is handled in case of failure occurs in a message flow.

Eg: Scenario

MQInput node(out)-Compute node->MQOutput node

If an error is thrown by any node (Compute or MQOutput) in your message flow, and if you don’t
have any Try-Catch node in between your MQInput node and other nodes, the message is rolled-
back to MQInput node, it then propagates to the nodes connected to Catch terminal of MQInput
node.

Note: For a flow(any) don’t have any Try-Catch Node in between InputNode(Any InputNode) and other nodes,
and an exception is raised in the flow in this case the message is goes back to the InputNode and propagate to
the catch terminal of the InputNode(Any InputNode) if it is connected to other node.

If the catch terminal is not connected, and the message is processed under Transactional control, the
message will be put back on the input queue. The MQInput node will read this message again to
“retry” the processing. If the back-out count at this stage is greater than back-out threshold, the
message will be propagated to the failure terminal of MQ Input node.

If the failure terminal is not connected, the message is put back on the back-out queue, if one is
defined for this input queue. If the back-out queue is not defined the message will be sent to queue
managers DLQ. If there is no DLQ defined for this queue manager, the message remains in the input
queue.

Throw node is used to throw an exception, for example you can a ach a Throw node to throw an
exception if the condition results into FALSE. In this case, you would a ach Throw node to the false
terminal of your filter node.

Try-catch node is same as try-catch block in any programming language. It has two output terminals
named try and catch. If an error occurs while processing message in your try terminal, message will
be rolled-back to Try-Catch node, it will then propagate to catch terminal.

For more information on these nodes please refer to help text in the Control Center.

Deployment Issue : IBM defined and Remotefiles exist in multiple


folder with different content

Reason :Some times we are using multiple libraries for our message flow and the libraries contains
some default xsd’s (Eg:RecordSeparatedFieldFormat.xsd ),if multiple libraries contains same file
name with different content then this issue raised.

Solution : Compare the two files and replace the content of older-data file with the other file content.

Database@Broker

Link | April 8, 2016 by Manoj Kumar Reddy

Here i am explaining how broker connects to the database , there are 2 types of connections are there
1.ODBC 2.JDBC

Depending upon the node(Code) we need to choose JDBC/ODBC

When to use ODBC :


If you are working on following nodes and want to interact with database then you need to create
ODBC Connection

Compute Node
Database Nodes
Filter Node

Means if you are using any .esql in message flow then you have to create ODBC (System DSN) for
connecting to the database.

How to create ODBC Connection?

For ODBC we need to create System DSN, and mention the System DSN name in the properties of
Node(Compute/Database/Filter).
Step1 : goto the path (linux) –––––> /var/mqsi/odbc/odbc.ini ––>Here you need to create DSN as
mentioned below (this is for Oracle)

https://iibdeveloper.wordpress.com/author/iibdeveloper/page/2/ 9/25
4/2/2019 Manoj Kumar Reddy | IIB Developer | Page 2

NOTE : Here you need to remove color content and mention proper values while firing the
commands.

[DSNName] ––>Your DSN Name


Driver=/opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.0/ODBC/V7.0/lib/UKora26.so
Description=DataDirect 7.0 ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol
HostName= ––––>IP of your Database Machine
PortNumber= ––––>Database Port
ServiceName=XE
CatalogOptions=0
EnableStaticCursorsForLongData=0
ApplicationUsingThreads=1
EnableDescribeParam=1
OptimizePrepare=1
WorkArounds=536870912
ProcedureRetResults=1
ColumnSizeAsCharacter=1
LoginTimeout=0

Here you need to change only 3 things 1.DSN Name ,2.HostName , 3.PortNumber

Step2 : # set the database credentials


mqsisetdbparms BrokerName -n odbc::DSNName -u UserName -p Password

#Note : Here UserName&Password of your Schema.

Step3 : # verify the odbc connection and datasource setup


mqsicvp -n DSNName -u UserName -p Password

#Note : Here UserName&Password of your Schema.

When to use JDBC :


If you are working on following nodes and want to interact with database then you need to create
JDBC Connection

JavaCompute Node
Mapping Node

How to create JDBC Connection?

Creating Jdbc Connection -ORACLE : You need to run following commands in your Broker Console

mqsicreateconfigurableservice IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n connectionUrlFormat -v


jdbc:oracle:thin:[user]/[password]@[serverName]:[portNumber]:[connectionUrlFormatA r1]

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n databaseName -v XE

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n databaseSchemaNames -v


DBSchemaName

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n databaseType -v oracle

https://iibdeveloper.wordpress.com/author/iibdeveloper/page/2/ 10/25
4/2/2019 Manoj Kumar Reddy | IIB Developer | Page 2

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n jarsURL -v


/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2/jlib/

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n maxConnectionPoolSize -v 10

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n jdbcProviderXASupport -v false

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n connectionUrlFormatA r1 -v XE

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n portNumber -v DB PORT

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n serverName -v IP of the Database


Machine

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n type4DriverClassName -v


oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

mqsichangeproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -n securityIdentity -v test@test

#Note :security profile is anything but same you need to mention in the following (mqsisetdbparms)
command

#Setup user/password:
mqsisetdbparms IB9NODE -n jdbc::test@test -u UserName -p Password
#Note : Here UserName and Passwords are your Schema’s credentials.

#Report Property: shows connection details


mqsireportproperties IB9NODE -c JDBCProviders -o TEST -r

Expl : Here you need to change your DSN name instead of TEST & you need to mention your schema
name ,IP,PORT

3.Nodes

March 13, 2016 by Manoj Kumar Reddy

Three programming constructs are used to develop an Application in IIB:

Nodes
Message Models
Message Flows

Nodes :

Nodes are the building blocks of the message flows.


Nodes are like functions , used to write logics/preocessing /rooting…the messages.

There are many built_in nodes in Broker toolkit, those are divided in to groups based on their
behavior…These groups are present in Node-Pale e of the toolkit.
https://iibdeveloper.wordpress.com/author/iibdeveloper/page/2/ 11/25
4/2/2019 Manoj Kumar Reddy | IIB Developer | Page 2

Node Pale e in the Tool kit

Nodes contains terminals for connecting other nodes,we can change the message path by using this
terminals.

https://iibdeveloper.wordpress.com/author/iibdeveloper/page/2/ 12/25
4/2/2019 Manoj Kumar Reddy | IIB Developer | Page 2

Node Terminals

Every node takes the data(message) from input_terminal (in case of InputNodes there is no
input_terminal they fetch data/message based on their properties).

Terminals : We can make connections between the terminals to define the routes that a message can
take through a message flow(between nodes). The following are most commonly used terminals in
Broker.

In: In_terminal is used to take input/message from other node.

NOTE : The OUTPUT_terminals only propagate the message when these terminals are connected to
the next nodes , otherwise no response is propagate to the next nodes.

Out : It is an OUTPUT_terminal is used to send a proper response/message to the next node.


Fault : It is an OUTPUT _is used to send a fault response(if any fault occurs in the node).
Failure :It is an OUTPUT_terminal to which a message is routed if a failure is detected when the
message is propagated to the Out flow (such as a message validation failure).
Failures routed to this terminal include failures caused by the retry processing occurring before
the retry propagates the message to the Out flow.
End of Data : It is an OUTPUT_terminal to which the End of Data message is routed after all the
messages in a file have been processed .
Catch : It is an OUTPUT_terminal to which the message is routed if an exception is thrown
downstream and caught by this node.
HTTPTimeout : It is an OUTPUT_terminal to to which a timeout fault message is routed if the a
node that is connected to the Out terminal does not respond within the time interval that is
specified by the Maximum client wait time property.
Open : It is an OUTPUT_terminal , for TCPIP nodes at the time of connection.established the
connection details are propagates to Open-terminal.
Close : It is an OUTPUT_terminal , for TCPIP nodes at the time of connection closed the
connection details are propagates to close-terminal.
No Message : The output_terminal to which the input message is routed if no message is available
on the queue.
Warning : The output_terminal to which the output tree is propagated if an error occurs in the
node while trying to get a message from the queue.

https://iibdeveloper.wordpress.com/author/iibdeveloper/page/2/ 13/25
4/2/2019 Manoj Kumar Reddy | IIB Developer | Page 2

Unknown : The output_terminal to which the message is routed if the specified filter expression
evaluates to unknown or a null value.
False : The output_terminal to which the message is routed if the specified filter expression
evaluates to false.
True : The output terminal to which the message is routed if the specified filter expression
evaluates to true.
First : The output_terminal to which the input message is routed in the first instance.
Second :The output_terminal to which the input message is routed in the second instance. The
message is routed to this terminal only if routing to First is successful.

The following are the nodes present in the toolkit

Built-In Nodes

https://iibdeveloper.wordpress.com/author/iibdeveloper/page/2/ 14/25
4/2/2019 Manoj Kumar Reddy | IIB Developer | Page 2

Here i am explaining some of the most frequently used Nodes.

Note : Input nodes are always be the first node of the flow

MQInput : Use an MQInput node if any message arrives in to a defined queqe (MQqueue) then the
node is fetch the message and initiates the message flow.

MQOutPut : This node uses to take a message from the flow and put the message in to the
destination queue (queue that you specify).

MQGet : Unlike MQInput node we can use MQGet node any where(except start position) in the
message flow . Use an MQGet node if any message arrives in to a defined queqe (MQqueue) then the
node is fetch the message and passes it to the next node.

MQReply : It takes the properties(Q Name,Qmngr Name…etc) from the incoming message and store
that message in to specified Queue.

HTTPAsyncRequest : Using this node we can send multiple requests to a web service(web service
need to have H pAsyncResponse node) asynchronously means no need to wait for response for a
particular message ,we can send multiple requests.

HTTPAsyncResponse : Using this node we can send responses to the client asynchronously means
irrespective of requests (client need to have H pAsyncResponse node) .

HTTPInput : Using this node to receive an HTTP message from an HTTP client for processing by a
message flow.

HTTPReply : Using this node to return a response to an HTTP client.

HTTPRequest : Using this node flow can interact with a remote web service (using URL).

HTTPHeader : Using this node to add, modify, or delete HTTP headers such as HTTPInput,
HTTPResponse, HTTPRequest and HTTPReply.

SOAPInput : This node process client SOAP messages(based on operation Name), so that the broker
operates as a SOAP Web Services provider.

SOAPReply : This node sends SOAP messages from the broker to the originating client (respected
client , means from where this node gets request) in response to a message received by a SOAPInput
node.

SOAPRequest : Using this node to send a SOAP request to the remote Web service (using URL).

SOAPAsyncRequest : Using this node we can send multiple requests to a web service(web service
need to have SOAPAsyncResponse node) asynchronously means no need to wait for response for a
particular message ,we can send multiple requests.

SOAPAsyncResponse : Using this node we can send responses to the client asynchronously means
irrespective of requests (client need to have SOAPAsyncResponse node) .

SOAPEnvelope : This node is used to add SOAP envelope(eg.Soap.header…) onto an existing


message.
https://iibdeveloper.wordpress.com/author/iibdeveloper/page/2/ 15/25
4/2/2019 Manoj Kumar Reddy | IIB Developer | Page 2

SOAPExtract : This node is used to remove SOAP envelope(eg.Soap.header…) onto an existing


message.

For be er understanding about Soap Structure ClickHere

Filter : This node is used to change the route of a message based on the message content (we need to
mention the ESQL-Condition).We can’t built OutputRoot using this node.

RouteToLabel : Using this node in the combination with one or more Label nodes to dynamically
determine the route that a message takes through the message flow, based on its content.

Label : Using this node to process a message that is propagated by a RouteToLabel node to
dynamically determine the route that the message takes through the message flow.

Route : Using this node we can change the route of the message . It is just like filter node but here we
need to provide XPath expressions instead of ESQL conditions and also we can multiple out
terminals using Route node but we can’t using Filter node.

Mapping : Using this node to construct one or more new messages and populate them with various
types of information.You can populate the new messages with the following types of information:

New information
Modified information from the input message
Information taken from a database

Compute : This is one of the most powerful node in IIB ,Using this node we can construct one or
more new output messages.Using Compute node to:

Build a new message using a set of assignment statements


Copy messages between parsers
Convert messages from one code set to another
Transform messages from one format to another
Information taken from a database

Input Node : We use this node as an In-terminal for a subflow .

Output Node : We use this node as an Out-terminal for a subflow .

Throw Node : Use the Throw node to throw an exception in a message flow.An exception can be
caught and processed by:

A preceding(Before) TryCatch node


The message flow input node (the built-in nodes, for example HTTPInput and MQInput, have
Catch terminals)

Trace Node : Use the Trace node to generate trace records that you can use to monitor the behavior
of a message flow.(Displays clear logs of background process).

TryCatch Node : Use the TryCatch node to provide a special handler for exception processing.(If any
exception raises in the message flow message is propagated to the catch terminal).

p g | IIB Developer | Page 2
FlowOrder Node : Use the FlowOrder node to control the order in which a message is processed by a
message flow(we can control the sequence of the nodes(sub-flows) connected to this node terminals).

RecetContentDescriptor Node : Use the ResetContentDescriptor node to request that the message is
reparsed by a different parser and also we can check (Validate)the format&properties of the incoming
messages with respect to the properties defined in this node.

Database Node : Use the Database node to interact with a database that is identified by the node
properties. The Database node handles both predefined and self-defining messages.

DatabaseInput Node : Use the DatabaseInput node to detect events recorded in a database, and to
retrieve the data affected by those events.

DatabaseRetrieve Node : Use the DatabaseRetrieve node to ensure that information in a message is
up to date. Note : Instead of using this node we can use a simple select (ESQL)statement along with a
condition is be er option.

DatabaseRoute Node : This node provides a similar function to the Route node, but the routing
decision is based on the contents of database.

FileInput Node : Use the FileInput node to process messages that are read from files.

FileOutput Node : Use the FileOutput node to write messages into files.

FileRead Node : Use the FileRead node to read one record, or the entire contents of a file, from within
a message flow. Note : Unlike FileInputNode we can use it any where in the flow except starting
position.

TCPIPClientInput Node : Used to start a message flow on receiving data from a TCP/IP connection
from a server application.(Create a TCPIP client connection to a TCPIP Socket and receive the data
over the connection).

TCPIPClient Output Node : Obtains a connection to a server application and sends data over that
connection.

TCPIPClient Receive Node : Lets you receive data from a TCP/IP connection to a server application
in the middle of a message flow.

TCPIPServer Input Node : Lets you start a message flow on receiving data from a TCP/IP
connection to a client application.

TCPIPServer Output Node : Obtains a connection to a client application and sends data over that
connection.

TCPIPServer Receive Node : Lets you receive data from a TCP/IP connection to a client application
in the middle of a message flow.

For testing TCPIP nodes from your flow we can use following tool :

Now you have the basic knowledge on xml & xsd’s and Database.

Broker is not Independent(Up to version 9) , without MQ there is No Broker(Up to version 9) ..Means


it can’t run… So first we need to install MQ on your machine the download link as follows

Download MQ

The latest version of the message Broker is 10.0 but still most of the companies using the version 9

You can download the Message Broker by using following link :

IBM Integration Bus technical overview :

Integration Bus enables information packaged as messages to flow between different business
applications, ranging from large traditional systems through to unmanned devices such as sensors on
pipelines.

Technical Overview of Integration Bus

IBM Integration Bus processes messages in two ways:

Message routing
Message transformation.

Message routing :

Messages can be routed from sender to recipient based on the content of the message.

The message flows that you design control message routing. A message flow describes the operations
to be performed on the incoming message, and the sequence in which they are carried out.

Each message flow consists of the following parts:

https://iibdeveloper.wordpress.com/author/iibdeveloper/page/2/ 19/25
4/2/2019 Manoj Kumar Reddy | IIB Developer | Page 2

A series of steps used to process a message; see Message flow nodes.


Connections between the nodes, defining routes through the processing; see Message flow
connections.

Message transformation :

Messages can be transformed before being delivered

They can be transformed from one format to another format based on the requirements of the
sender and the recipient.
They can be transformed by modifying, combining, adding, or removing data fields, perhaps
involving the use of information stored in a database.

Message :

In general meaning-full data /Information is called a message , In broker we are using messages to
transmit the information/data from one application to another application/system.

Each message that flows through a broker has a specific structure that is meaningful to the
applications that send or receive that message.
When you create a message in the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit, you define the fields
(Elements) in the message.

When you deploy a message set to a broker, the message model is sent to the broker in a form
appropriate to the parser that is used to parse and write the message.An example of a message
format is XML.

parser :

A parser is a program that interprets the physical bit stream of an incoming message, and creates an
logical representation of the message in a tree structure.

The parser also regenerates a bit stream for an outgoing message from the message tree
representation.

There are 2 types of environments in the tool kit

1. Development Environment –––> for developing the applications (For the creation of message
flows, message sets, and other message flow application resources)

https://iibdeveloper.wordpress.com/author/iibdeveloper/page/2/ 20/25
4/2/2019 Manoj Kumar Reddy | IIB Developer | Page 2

Toolkit Development Perspective

2.Runtime Environment –––> Contains the components for running those message flow applications
that are created in the development environment.

For running our applications we need to create Run-time environment in our machine(toolkit)

The dependency as follows

ExecutionGroup(IntegrationServer) –> Broker(IntegrationNode)–> QManager(MQ)

That means QManagers contains Brokers, and Brokers contains Execution groups.
A QManager can contain only one Broker and a Broker can contain many Executiongroups

Broker :

A broker is a set of execution processes that hosts one or more message flows to route, transform.
The broker routes, transforms, and manipulates messages according to the logic that is defined in
their message flow applications.

ExecutionGroup :

An execution group is a named grouping of message flows that have been assigned to a broker.
Execution groups enable message flows within the broker to be grouped together.
Every broker contains a default execution group and we can create any number of execution groups.

What is Integration ?

Integration – The act of combining (or adding or Merging) parts to make a unified system.

Integration middleware represents a software systems that offer runtime services for
communications, integration application execution, monitoring and operations.

What is Integration Bus and why it’s required ?

In general terms – BUS is a connection between two or more devices/components/systems and is used
to transfers the data between them.

Integration Bus – Integration bus is a software component that is used to convert/Translate the the
entire application/software from one environment to another environment.

Integration Bus is designed to solve all integration requirements between back-end systems, from
simple point-to-point connectivity to sophisticated topological pa erns such as ESBs. It has a wide
range of built-In connectors that enable integration between web services, files, databases, packaged
applications such as SAP and Microsoft Dynamics CRM, plus a variety of configuration and
transformation options such as graphical mapping, Java™, and Microsoft .NET.

Challenges and IssuesBusinesses facing today

Now-a -days businesses using so many different software programs to fill their needs, sometimes it’s
necessary that the different programs work together to get the end results they are looking for. In
those situations, middleware is required.

The Olden Applications :

1 mainframe computer, 1 user device,1 network connection,1 population of users,1 set of user
requirements,1 user location,1program,1 program “owner”.

The Modern (Middleware) Applications :

Composite Applications,Many computers,Many user devices,Many types of network


connections,Many diverse populations of users,Many different user requirements, Many user
locations,Many programs,Many program “owners”.

Introduction to Application :

In general Organizations probably uses many applications and services,


These applications probably wri en by different people using different languages and technologies,
reside on different hardware platforms, use different operating systems, and provide very different
functionality.

Mostly there are support for one to one services (isolated functionality)

Higher costs, and inefficient response to customers.

Application Integration :
https://iibdeveloper.wordpress.com/author/iibdeveloper/page/2/ 23/25
4/2/2019 Manoj Kumar Reddy | IIB Developer | Page 2

Application integration (sometimes called enterprise application integration or EAI) is the process of
bringing data or a function from one application program together with that of another application
program.

Enterprise application integration is an integration framework composed of a collection of


technologies and services to enable integration of systems and applications across an enterprise.

Sample Architecture of application Integration :

Simple Architecture of Middleware Application

Complex Architecture of Middleware Application
