without notice at IBM’s sole discretion.
• Information regarding potential future products is intended to outline our general product
direction and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision.
• The information mentioned regarding potential future products is not a commitment,
promise, or legal obligation to deliver any material, code or functionality. Information about
potential future products may not be incorporated into any contract.
• The development, release, and timing of any future features or functionality described for our
products remains at our sole discretion.
• Performance is based on measurements and projections using standard IBM benchmarks in a
controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will
vary depending upon many factors, including considerations such as the amount of
multiprogramming in the user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage configuration, and
the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will
achieve results similar to those stated here.

Message flows
• Reusable
• Scalable
• Transactional

Message flow example

8. Nodes
• The building blocks of message
flows
• Each node type performs a different
(input, output or processing) action
• Many different node types
– Grouped into logical categories in the
editor

Creating Message Models

14. • Graphical, easy to use
• Drag and Drop fields,
apply functions
• XML to XML
Transformation
• Uses standard XSL
Stylesheets
• Describe powerful
transformations quickly
• Uses SQL-based
language (ESQL)
• Uses Java
programming language
• Ability to use XPath,
JAXB
Powerful transformation and programming options
14
• Invoke general
purpose logic in
any .NET supported
language
• Windows only

IF Body.Order.Date < ‘2008/01/01’ THEN
INSERT INTO Database.OldOrders (LastName,Item,Quantity)
VALUES (Body.Order.Name.Last,
Body.Order.Item,
Body.Order.Quantity);

17. IBM and third-party extensions
• Many other nodes and features available through product extensions
• Write your own User-Defined Nodes or Connectors
– Native node framework available in C and Java
– OT4i connector framework provides means to implement full lifecycle,
including endpoint discovery 17

18. • Containers to develop, deploy and manage your integration solutions.
Applications and Libraries
Integration Services and REST APIs
• Application
– Group resources for a specific integration solution
– Applications can reference libraries
• Library
– Group common resources for reuse
– Shared libraries provide full resource reuse
– deploy and manage one copy of those resources
• Integration Service
– Specialised application – Implement a Web Service described
by a WSDL
• REST API
– Specialised application - Implement a REST API described by a
swagger document.

Shared Libraries
Architected for performance and scalability

20. • Integration Developer
– Develops message flows,
message models etc.
– Unit Tests on local machine
– Creates Broker Archive (BAR)
files containing required artefacts
• Administrator
– Customizes BAR for target
environment
– Deploys BAR to target node
– Node and Server management
and operational control
– Monitoring
Development Test QA Production
User roles and environments

21. IBM Integration Bus on Cloud
• A fully managed Integration Bus service

22. 22

23. Hybrid cloud deployment
• IIB ‘Switch’ agent makes secure outbound
connection to IIB on Cloud
– Mutually authenticated TLS
– Each customer has dedicated switch server
in the cloud
– No need to open ports in on-prem firewall
• MQ (client) and database connections can
be made from flow in cloud to on-prem
queue manager or database
– Without any changes to IIB flow, or BAR file

24. Hybrid cloud deployment
• ‘Callable flows’
– A flow running on-prem can directly
invoke flow running in the cloud
– And vice-versa
– Routed through IIB Switch
– Dynamic routing
• New nodes
– Flow invoke, Callable input/output
• Also supports invocation between
multiple on-prem IIB nodes
– For distributed processing
