Why employ an Adapter?

• Modern enterprises use a wide range of systems which need to communicate with each otherEs: ERP, CRM, billing, store, HR, authentication

• Heterogeneus applications need to exchange dataEs: Java, .NET, C++

• Legacy systems need to be engaged in modern service oriented workflowsEs: AS/400, Mainframe, OS/2



Why employ an Adapter?

• 3rd party applications do not expose standard interfaces to be called from the outside worldEs: SAP R/3

Sunnyvale presents Adapter-Logic Application

• A.L.A. stands in front of non-integrable applications to allow an easy access to clientsEs: SAP R/3




• Entirely written in Java language, it runs on different O. S. with JVM 1.6 or higherEs: Win2003 Server, Solaris 8/9/10, HP-UX, Linux

HP-UX Windows Solaris Linux OtherA.L.A.

Java Virtual Machine

Cross platform compatibility




• A single A.L.A. instance is capable of multiple systems integrationEs: SAP R/3, Client .NET, TIBCO, Java, etc…




• Engineered to be installed (also) on legacy systems1) Low RAM usage: 4Mb Heap in its minimal configuration2) Small footprint: entire application weights only 16Mb (except logs)3) Low CPU usage and reduced disk I/O operations4) A.L.A. does not need to be deployed on heavy application servers5) A.L.A. does not use Databases

Technologies and standards

• XML 1.01)The incoming and outgoing data is respresented as an XML document2)Configuration data is stored into an XML config file

• Java 1.6 Adapter-Logic Application is written in Java language

• XML Schema 1.11)The incoming data is validated against XML schemas2)The application config file is validated against an XML schema

• XSLT 2.0 (XML Style Sheet Language – Trasformation)Request and response data are trasformed using XSLT 2.0 technology



Technologies and standards

• XPath 2.0 (XML Path Language)• Transforming the incoming data with XSLT it is possibile to use XPath standard functions…•…or embed Plain Old Java Classes into XSLT documents as XPath Custom Functions



Technologies and standards• JMX 1.41) It is possibile to profile the application at runtime using JMX (JConsole)2) Front-end interfaces can be instrumented remotely (MBean)

Scalability

• Developed decoupling Front-end and Back-end interfaces from the application core

Adapter-Logic Application

CoreFrontend BackendControllersConnectors

By combining Controllers and Connectors between them it is possibile to integrate a wide range of application systems



Scalability

The following Controllers are available:

• JMS (Topic / Queue)• Tibco Rendezvous (RV / RVCM)• HTTP/SOAP (Web Services)• Platform Symphony• SAP R/3 (RFC / IDOC)

And more will be released shortly:

• OMG CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture)• Socket (TCP / UDP)



Scalability

The following Connectors are available:

• SAP R/3 (RFC / IDOC)• HTTP/SOAP (Web Services)• Platform Symphony• LDAP (DSMLv2 enabled)• IBM AS/400 (Remote Program Call, Remote Command Call, Spooled Files List)• Database via JDBC

And more will be released shortly:

• FIX Protocol (Financial Information Exchange Protocol)• IBM AS/400 (Data Queue Write)• Socket (TCP / UDP)



Scalability

Sunnyvale developes Connectors and Controllers on demand:

Customers wich employ a technology not included into the lists above, can ask Sunnyvale to develope custom Connectors or Controllers

Success stories

Nagios Certified CompatibleAdapter-Logic Application is certified compatible with one of the major, open source, monitoring tool: NAGIOS



Storie di successo

OpenESB implementation supportSunnyvale A.L.A. and OpenESB together form a complete integration suite for export and import information by using Web Service interfaces exclusively such as Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL)



Storie di successo

Sunnyvale and the University of Turin

The Turin University, strongly interested in the A.L.A. project, has asked a partnership with Sunnyvale.In the 2010, students about to get a degree in computer sciences, will be engaged in EAI projects using Adapter-Logic Application, giving them an opportunity to increase their working experience.



Storie di successo

An Italian gas & energy distribution company usesAdapter-Logic Application for:

• Connect between them 3rd party architectures such as: SAP R/3, TIBCO, GISWARE (Engineering), Active Directory• Expose more than fourty SAP R/3 BAPI interfaces via Web Service• Ensure protocol interoperation: JMS, HTTP, SOAP, RFC, IDOC• Authenticate employees on Active Directory using SOAP protocol

Customer value proposition

• use a single adapter instance to integrate a wide range of back-end systems• install the same adapter on many O.S. • protect against hardware failures using A.L.A. ‘s High Availability and Load Balance capabilities• develope custom Connectors and Controllers • activate or deactivate Controllers at run time (without restart)• leverage standard technologies to manage data (XML, XML Schema, XSLT)• employ a fine-grained and network distributed logging systems • monitor the application performance at run time• install the adapter (also) on legacy systems• modify data trasformation rules (XSLT) without any restart
