Enterprise Application Integration

Company data and strategic use of technology for greater productivity and profit: Organizations are able to integrate their applications and data sources have a clear competitive advantage. Ownership of software, and more: a mishmash of old hardware, operating systems and network technology - however, many IT managers to integrate different systems trying to cope with major challenges. EnterpriseApplication Integration (EAI) is a matter of increasing urgency, offers a solution to this need. These business processes and data from many individual systems into a seamless integration of all technologies in all applications that talk to each other blanket. 

Enterprise Application Integration provides a comprehensive review of the IEA. You an overview of EAI goals and approaches, technologies that support a review and you will find a roadmap to implement the EAI solution. Level data, the interface application, the method level, and level of the user interface: You can also find a thorough description of EAI four main types.

Amazon.com Review

Get the computer systems of different brands - desktops, servers, mainframes, or if - to share data and processing power, Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is a goal. David Linthicum tourism EAI integration technologies for enterprise applications needed to master. The system administrator or architect to make an offer for EAI, it definitely fits the title.

Challenges and strategies EAI text and offers a global perspective on technology can help. Author information and sharing of processing power, "" systems (for example, applications such as inventory and financial) creates a difficult situation for a few partitioning. (Although the data storage that combines databases, EAI, goes further, and all integrated - data, methods and objects.) A layer of this article, a variety of products (servers, for example, as a message using the outline of strategies for effective EAI, CORBA and COM).

Ease of integration here as an important "data scraping" (which allows older applications, applications that do not lend themselves to a "package" (especially the SAP R / 3), the central themes that the terminals interest) to communicate with new systems. Here, IBM, SAP, Sun and Microsoft tools and solutions from leading manufacturers such as coverage does not. Later in the book, Linthicum, such as processing or Remote EJB components for the company, or strongly argues that the Java EAI. In addition, trading enterprises, electronic commerce, seems to XML for data exchange.

Very few authors demonstrate a thorough knowledge of tools and technologies from many vendors. EAI practitioners will need a complete view of this no doubt. Enterprise Application Integration for the future of IT in developing a comprehensive roadmap of this area offers. It is a world of connected systems increasingly tries to understand in order to simplify the benefits of EAI for any business manager or software engineer is a great place to start. - Richard Dragan

Topics include: Application Integration EAI (Enterprise) outline the types of existing systems, EAI and e-business, data-level EAI, EAI application-level interface, storage, and method-level EAI, the user interface level EAI, data scraping, manual process models EAI middleware layer transaction, XA and X / Open Base, RPC, messaging (Microsoft MSMQ and IBM MQSeries), distributed objects, CORBA and COM, database, middleware API (ODBC and JDBC), Java middleware, integration of SAP R / 3 and PeopleSoft packaged applications and supply chain business to business e-commerce basic XML integration, message brokers, process automation and the future of the IEA.

Level data, the interface application, the method level, and level of the user interface: You can also find a thorough description of EAI four main types. In the book, including detailed models of layers and the different approaches, supporting technologies are described:

• Using Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) and application servers, such as ActiveX,
• Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) and remote procedure calls (RPC)
• Distributed objects, looking at CORBA and COM
• ODBC, JDBC and OLE DB, such as database-oriented middleware and standards;
• Java Middleware Standards
• Message Brokers

Process automation and workflow technologies

Application interfaces, this practical guide to implementing an EAI solution identification, process integration, building a business model metadata, all the important steps, including identification data sources, you drive, the card technology of motion data, test selection and implementation and maintenance. Other important issues, SAP R / 3 and PeopleSoft packaged integrated applications, such as EAI, XML is the role of supply chain integration and process automation. Comprehensive, practical and clearly written, this essential resource for all EAI, including the nature of the industry key tools and techniques and will help you understand how to apply a significant commercial advantage.
