Software AG is pleased to introduce webMethods
SOPERA Adapter 7.1 (SOPERA Adapter). SOPERA Adapter provides service clients that support provider policies and ease of use in
designing and maintaining your integrations with the SOPERA infrastructure.
SOPERA Adapter is a webMethods Integration
Server adapter for integrating the webMethods Integration platform with your
SOPERA infrastructure. Using SOPERA Adapter, you can create connections to your
SOPERA Infrastructure and create adapter services that will invoke services
that are on your SOPERA service bus. SOPERA
Adapter is bi-directional and it helps SOPERA applications to interact with
webMethods applications, using adapter
listener notifications to expose any Integration Server
service as a SOPERA service.
You can use Integration Server flow services
or java services to call adapter services to interact with SOPERA. The adapter
services use the SOPERA Service Backbone to invoke services exposed on SOPERA.
SOPERA Adapter enables you to establish and
manage connections to your SOPERA application. The adapter uses the SOPERA Service Backbone
to manage communications between the Integration Server and the SOPERA
Infrastructure. Through these connections you can create and run your SOPERA
integrations.
When you design your integrations, you use
the adapter and its webMethods Designer screens to view services exposed on
SOPERA. The adapter uses the SOPERA AdminTool to fetch metadata information
about the SOPERA services and operations. Then you select the service you want to perform operations on from the list of services.
SOPERA Adapter provides service templates that enable you to
interact with the SOPERA services. This makes
it easy to develop adapter services to interact with SOPERA services.
Service templates provide two different
communication styles to invoke SOPERA services.
You can perform SOPERA-to-webMethods operations
using the adapter's listener
notifications. Adapter notifications help in exposing any Integration Server
service as a SOPERA service and it also has options to register those services
with the SOPERA service registry. Notifications
are also template-based and you can configure any Integration Server service to
be invoked from a SOPERA client.
For the most up to date information about
the software and operating systems that the adapter supports, see the webMethods
Adapters System Requirements document that is posted on the documentation
site (http://documentation.softwareag.com/).
This document applies to webMethods SOPERA
Adapter Version 7.1 and to all subsequent releases.
