Chapter 3. Developing business process interfaces This chapter describes a suggested general approach for the development of the business process interfaces to be used in an IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express plus system. The specific approach at your site may vary according to your requirements. Although more iterations at any point in the sequence may be required in an actual implementation, these steps provide a framework for your overall development effort. This chapter contains the following sections: v "Sequence of development tasks" Sequence of development tasks Many integration components in an interface depend upon and reference one another, so the tasks of developing each of the components are intertwined and iterative. It is recommended that you develop your integration components in the following order: 1. "Obtain connectors" 2. "Develop or modify application-specific business objects" on page 30 3. "Configure connectors" on page 30 4. "Test connectivity and application-specific business objects" on page 31 5. "Develop or modify generic business objects" on page 32 6. "Configure database connection pools" on page 33 7. "Develop and test maps and relationships" on page 33 8. "Develop and test collaboration templates" on page 33 9. "Configure connectors for business object support and associated maps" on page 35 10. "Create and configure collaboration objects" on page 35 11. "Deploy the interface" on page 35 Obtain connectors Identify and install the connectors you will use. Connectors communicate directly with the applications or technologies being integrated, and must meet their requirements. In turn, other integration components, such as application-specific business objects, depend, on the design of the connector. This makes connectors the logical starting point for your design. Connectors are installed to your system when you install adapters. A connector is part of the adapter. (Many adapters also include an Object Discovery Agent, which assists you in generating business objects that are specific to the application with which the connector interacts.) Adapters designed for certain technologies are provided with your installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus. If you are using © Copyright IBM Corp. 2001, 2004 29
