SOA-13 Introduction to DataXtend Semantic
Integrator (DX SI)

• Abstract data management from the application
  level using a common data model

Cant We All Just Get Along?
The Problem

• No central management
• Costly to modify
• Not easily adapted to change

6
Model Driven Integration
The Solution
DistributedTransformationEngine

• Centralized management
• Rapid development and deployment
• Lower TCO

7
Challenges of Common Model Integration

• A good Common Model should be
• Comprehensive
• Abstract
• Extensible
• But a comprehensive, abstract model is
• Large
• Complex for simple things
• Hard to maintain
• DataXtend SI addresses these issues

12
The DataXtend SI Lifecycle
Design Time

• Import, enrich, define

rules, aggregations and maps needed to exchange
valid data between enterprise systems
Runtime

• Automate

rules execution

• Audit and Validate

every exchange
Lifecycle Management

• Manage rules, aggregations and maps over time

• Change integrations of adaptive infrastructure
  with build-in change management facilities

13
DataXtend Exchange Model
Import directly from a UML
Import directly from a database (default
validation rules to enforce constraints)
Import directly from XML

• Semantic Mappings
• Validate Data
• Match incompatible data
• Flag Data Errors
• Conditionally Map

Your Own Model!
Import directly from a WSDL

Computed AttributesSimplify Common Models for
Ease of Use
Centralized design
Virtual attributes simplify models without
deviating from the standard
16
DataXtend Mapping and Rule Designer
All assets are visually mapped to and from the
common model
Even complex expressions are designed without
coding

DataXtend Deployment1 Creating the DX SI
service interfaces
Interface wrappers

• Simplify access to DX SI service interface
• Build-in to DX SI
• IBM SDOs
• Sonic ESB
• BEA Beehive
• JMS
• Java Beans
• EJB Sessions

Create one or more wrappers for every data service
No wrappers. DX SI Java interface is used

The DataXtend SI Lifecycle
Design Time

• Import, enrich, define

rules, aggregations and maps needed to exchange
valid data between enterprise systems
Runtime

• Automate

• Audit and Validate

every exchange
Lifecycle Management

• Manage rules, aggregations and maps over time

• Change integrations of adaptive infrastructure
  with build-in change management facilities

21
DataXtend SI Runtime

• DataXtend SI Engine runtime process
• Input data is mapped to the Common Model
• Common Model is enriched with extra data if
  required
• Data is mapped from Common Model to Data Source
  (writing)
• Results are mapped back to the Common Model and
  Data Services

Rules engine automates validation of the data at
all stages Runtime report is available detailing
all issues
22
ESB Solution without DataXtend SI

• Goal
• To provide an aggregated view of a customers
  accounts
• Issues
• Solution assumes all data is equivalent i.e.
  canonical and on the same version, for message
  and data
• No controls to map data types
• E,g. TVAccounts maps Mr as 0
• Wireless maps Mr as A
• To solve requires multiple transformation svcs
• Possibly 10 XForm and Enrichment steps

23
DataXtend SI and ESB

• ESB and DX SI
• Intermediate services replaced by DX SI
• DX SI handles Data and Message layout impedance
• Using XML based invocation framework similar to
  WS
• 11 Intermediate services to 1

DataXtend SI Lifecycle Management Features

• Impact Analysis view and report
• Identify interdependencies in a project.
• An Impact Analysis report provides a snapshot of
  an element's current state for future reference.
• Comparison of exchange model elements
• Provides an interface for comparing elements in
  the same project or in different projects.
• Synchronize model changes
• Allows you to selectively accept changes from one
  exchange model into another.

Synchronizing Model Changes
You use project synchronization to merge the
contents of two exchange models The current
project (the target) and an external project (the
source). You can also use project synchronization
to create a new project based on another,
exported one.
