For IBM App Connect Enterprise users

If you already use IBM® App Connect Enterprise, you can develop message flows that use IBM Sterling Transformation Extender maps and type trees to complement IBM App Connect Enterprise built-in transformation functionality.

As a IBM App Connect Enterprise user, use IBM Sterling Transformation Extender maps and type trees in the following ways:
  • Use IBM Sterling Transformation Extender maps if you need transformation features that are not available with native ESQL, Java, Mapping, and XSL transformations such as:
    • Pulling data from sources such as files and queues within a map.
    • Calling external programs and services from within a map.
    • Splitting and routing batches of messages.
  • Use IBM Sterling Transformation Extender type trees if you need message modeling features that are not available with native message sets such as:
    • Modeling complex binary or text message formats that the MRM is unable to model.
    • Complex validation without having to write code, using component rules on type trees.
  • Use IBM Sterling Transformation Extender Industry Packs to integrate a range of industry standard data formats with your enterprise infrastructure through predefined type tree templates and maps that the packs provide.
