Interfaces are the entrances to offer data for processing. XBintegrator provides four different interface modules to allow communication from almost anywhere.
Polling interface
Offers several entry possibilities to enable connection on an easy to configure, asynchronous way:
- File pollingMail
- Mail box polling
- Data queue polling
- Print queue polling
- Message middleware polling (native IBM websphere MQ en via JMS)
Device interface
This interface can be used to automatically read data from USB and/or RS232 attached batch devices. Typical devices in this class are e-id card readers, time registration systems and barcode systems.
Web services interface
The web service interface follows the WS-I standard 100% and can be extended with WS-extensions for security and transactions. This interface works together with IBM WAS and Apache Tomcat.
System i interface (V5R2+)
This interface offers a traditional CL command to call the XBi service bus, interactively or embedded in your RPG/COBOL applications.
Command line interface (ALL platform running JDK 1.4.2+)
This interface allows you to interact with the XBintegrator Business Integration Server from the commandline. You can execute actions defined in the service bus, directly from the commandline and get back to the results.
