Back to the 90s: Moving on from Flat Files to Automated Integration
#ICYDK: The saying “I still think 1990 was 10 years ago,” so perfectly reflects not only my current view of time, but also how many cloud applications, even modern ones, handle integrations. The use of flat file transfers as a supported method of syncing data – which was the most common way of doing so in the 1990s (and even in the early 2000s) – while proven, often requires quite a bit of manual intervention to get the data in the correct format before it can be loaded into the receiving service. Preparing flat files is also error prone – mistakes happen and when they do, they are often hard to undo.
There are plenty of reasons (code for excuses) as to why flat files are still used: https://goo.gl/JHVudS #DataIntegration #ML
How to Migrate Your SOAP Web Service to REST With Camel
SOAP-based services are plentiful in many enterprise solutions and are slowly being replaced by RESTful services to simplify their use. There is a new wizard to help you make the transition with Apache Camel’s Rest DSL added in the latest version of Red Hat Fuse Tooling. This article shows how to use the new wizard to transition from older SOAP-based services to more modern REST-based services.
If you aren’t familiar, Red Hat Fuse is an integration platform based on Camel and a number of other projects. The updating Fuse Tooling is available in Red Hat Developer Studio 12.0.0, the desktop IDE that is based on Eclipse 4.8 Photon. You can also get the new wizard by adding JBoss Tools 4.6 to your existing Eclipse 4.8 Photon installation by downloading it directly or installing via the Eclipse Marketplace. https://goo.gl/AAqdnN #DataIntegration #ML
