Business Integration Solutions with MQSeries Integrator (IBM Redbook) (Ibm Redbooks)

Very often information about a customer is stored in product-centric databases. You can imagine an insurance company that has one database for each type of insurance they sell. However, when customers want to obtain information about their current insurance contracts, they want to see a single view of that information, and not submit a query for each contract they might have. This IBM Redbook outlines the messaging techniques that one can implement to obtain a user-friendly single customer view, using MQSeries Integrator.

This redbook explores the functionality of the latest version of MQSeries Integrator and provides guidance on installation and configuration. A number of message flows are developed. These message flows are the implementation of business rules that need to be executed by the MQSeries Integrator broker. The redbook also explains how to extend the functionality of MQSeries Integrator with user-written plug-in nodes.

The book also describes a Web-enabled single customer view solution. This solution uses WebSphere, DB2, MQSeries, and MQSeries Integrator to solve a common business integration problem: how to get a single view of all the information about one customer?
