HI

Integration Builder: A client-server framework for accessing and editing two stores of Shared collaboration knowledge.

The integration builder is the common tool framework for design and configuration time activities.

Integration Builder: It is the central tool of XI, we use it at both design and configuration time. It creates design objects in the integration repository and configuration objects in integration directory. At runtime integration builder access the configuration in the integration directory to process inbound message. It saves executable design objects directly on the integration server to execute them at runtime.

The integration builder puts active object versions in the runtime cache. The cache is updated when ever you activate a change list in the integration directory or change list in the integration repository.

The integration builder allows us to work with objects in both repositories in a consistent way, with a consistent interface and a common look-and-feel.

The integration builder is a Java application. On the client side it provides the user interface for working with XI objects. On the server side it offers services for authentication, lock management, import and export of interface objects etc.,

Because the client applications (Integration Repository and Integration Directory) are u201Cfatu201D clients, Java Web Start is required. JWS is a caching application for Java clients. (Download once and store locally).

The Integration Builder provides the editors for each object type in the Integration Repository. These are Java based graphical tools.

Process Editor.........>Business Process (BPEL)

Mapping Editor.........>Mappings (XSLT, Message, Java)

Condition Editor........>Context Objects (XPath Expression)

Data Type Editor..>Message Interfaces, Data Type,Message Type
