Configuring Integration Server for webMethods Messaging
Overview of webMethods Messaging
webMethods messaging is an umbrella term that encompasses the sending and receiving of documents (also called messages) across the webMethods platform. Within the context of Integration Server, webMethods messaging includes the publishing of documents in the native IData format from one Integration Server or an application running on Integration Server to a webMethods messaging provider. The webMethods messaging provider, either Software AG Universal Messaging or webMethods Broker, routes the documents to subscribers on other Integration Servers that retrieve and process the document. webMethods message is also referred to as native messaging.
To use Integration Server to create a publish-and-subscribe solution for webMethods messaging, you need the following components:
Publishable document types that define the content, structure, and properties of the documents that can be published.
Services that publish instances of the publishable document types.
webMethods messaging triggers that subscribe to publishable document types and specify services that processes instances of the publishable document types.
A
webMethods messaging provider that handles the receipt of and routing of documents to subscribers.
To configure Integration Server for webMethods messaging, you need to:
Configure document stores for holding documents immediately before publication or right after retrieval. For more information, see
Configuring Document Stores.
Create publishable document types,
webMethods messaging triggers, and services using the
Service Development perspective in
Software AG Designer. For more information, see
webMethods Service Development Help.
Note:webMethods Broker is deprecated.
