The WTX data handler invokes the Websphere Transformation Extender to perform transformations from formats like Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and many others to data object and vice versa. WebSphere® Transformation Extender is a separately licensed product and is not included as part of IBM® Integration Designer, IBM Business Automation Workflow or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus. The product has to be installed with the WTX installer for these servers.

The WTX data handler can be used in JMS, generic JMS, MQ-JMS, MQ and HTTP exports and imports.

The WTX map selection data handler can be used in an EIS context for FlatFile, FTP and Email imports and exports.

WTX is used in a disconnected pattern. It does not connect to the client (JMS queues, for example) directly to get the incoming message or send the outgoing message. The incoming message is sent to an export/import which then hands off the data to the WTX data handler which converts the data by calling WTX and then hands it back to the export/import.

Attention: Integration between IBM Business Automation Workflow and IBM Transformation Extender (ITX) is not officially supported.
