Product requirements
IBM Transformation Extender for IBM Integration Bus is packaged with the IBM Transformation Extender for Integration Servers product installation.
Supported message domains
A parser is a program that interprets the bit stream of an incoming message and creates an internal representation of the message in a tree structure. The parser also regenerates a bit stream from the internal message tree representation for an outgoing message. Each parser is suited to a particular message domain. A message domain is class of messages, such as fixed-length binary messages or XML messages. IBM Integration Bus supplies a range of parsers to parse and write message formats.
Deploying map resources
When you deploy message flows that contain TX Map nodes, you must also deploy the associated IBM Transformation Extender maps, and any files that the maps require.
Triggering maps to run
When a message is propagated to the TX Map node from the preceding node in a message flow, the TX Map node responds to this event by triggering the map to run.
Input cards in maps
The input cards of a map are all associated with a single input terminal of a TX Map node.
Output cards in maps
The output cards of a map are associated with the output terminals of a TX Map node.
Sending output data from a map to an IBM Integration Bus node
You can use a IBM Transformation Extender PUT map rule to send output data to another IBM Integration Bus node, either immediately, or based on the outcome of the map.
Specifying the map for the TX map node
There are several different ways to specify the map that a TX Map node runs.
Map caching
At design time, set map caching to optimize runtime performance.
LocalEnvironment DynamicMap and MapServerLocation caching
When the TX Map node Cache map property is enabled, the TX Map node caches the path to a map and the dynamic map bytes that are configured in the local environment tree.
Wildcards
Wildcards are represented by the asterisk (*) and question mark (?) characters, and are used to substitute specific portions of the file name property of the FileInput node, and the FileOutput node when you want to use a pattern instead of a specific name.
Map Settings interface
Use the Map Settings interface to override map and card properties when you configured your TX Map node properties in the Basic tab with either Use map from project selected, or both Use external map and Local compiled map selected.
Resource Registry
In IBM Integration Bus, you can dynamically modify and configure the location of the IBM Transformation Extender resource configuration file by using the IBM Transformation Extender property in the execution group to which the bar file is deployed.
Samples
Use the samples that are included in the IBM Transformation Extender for IBM Integration Bus installation to demonstrate how you use the product.
