Sometimes you need to obtain a high-level view of your application to see all of the various elements and how they fit together. The integration solution editor can help with this task.

About this task

To explore the solution:

Procedure

  1. In the Business Integration view, expand the integration solution HelloWorldPart2, as shown here:
    Integration Solutions section of the Business Integration view
  2. Double-click Solution Diagram. The integration solution diagram opens in the integration solution editor, as shown in the following figure:
    Solution diagram
    In the solution editor, you see all three modules inside the integration solution. The left edge of each module displays an export and the right edge of each module displays an import (except for the HelloService module). Any non-SCA imports and exports are connected to the edge of the integration solution. SCA imports and exports are not connected to the edge of the integration solution because they are only designed for direct communication between modules. If a module invokes another module through an SCA binding, a connection is displayed between the two modules.
  3. In the solution editor, display the library HelloWorldLibrary by clicking the Show All Projects icon, as shown in the following figure:
    Hide or show all projects toggle
    The integration solution diagram now displays the HelloWorldLibrary library with connections to the modules that reference it, as shown in the following figure:

    If you want to see the contents in a module, click the Expand module icon in the upper right corner of the module. For example, if you click the Expand module icon on the HelloWorldMediation module, you should see the contents shown in the following figure:
    Solution diagram showing module details
    If you want, you can explore the other icons on the toolbar as well as the pop-up menu items. For example, the icons and menu items enable you to open the assembly editor, add sticky notes for comments, set the background color of a module, and perform numerous other tasks.
  4. Close the solution diagram. If you are prompted to save your settings, click No.

Results

Now that you have some familiarity with the integration solution, it is time to test it.
