App Connect
Here is some detail collected by Geet on IIB migration.
I have IBM
Integration Bus v9 – when should I migrate to IBM App Connect Enterprise v11?
In
September 2017, IBM announced the End of Service for IBM Integration Bus v9 would
occur in September 2018.
- If you are considering a change to your IT architecture to embrace
12-Factor applications and cloud-native principles, then you should
consider the new capabilities of IBM App Connect Enterprise v11. In this circumstance you can take advantage of your
past investments on the IIB platform by re-using your message flows and
deploying then to a new IBM App Connect Enterprise v11 architecture built
upon independent integration server processes. In many cases like this,
you might choose to coordinate your integration servers using a wider
configuration framework / toolset outside of IBM App Connect Enterprise,
such as the open source Kubernetes framework for example.
- If you prefer to continue using an architecture which includes
integration nodes for controlling your integration servers, then you
should either migrate to the latest fix pack release of IBM Integration
Bus v10 (at the time of writing, IIBv10.0.0.11) or wait for the
integration node feature to arrive in IBM App Connect Enterprise v11, which is likely to be in its next fix pack release.
Which features of IBM Integration
Bus v10 were not included in the initial release of IBM App Connect Enterprise
v11?
There
are a few lesser used features that were delivered with earlier versions of IBM
Integration Bus, but which IBM did not include as part of the initial release
of IBM App Connect Enterprise v11:
·
The
SCA message flow nodes: SCAInput, SCAReply, SCARequest, SCAAsyncRequest and
SCAAsyncResponse
·
The
WSRR message flow nodes: RegistryLookup and EndpointLookup
·
There
will be no direct equivalent of the IBM Decision Server Rules Edition for
Integration Bus, so the DecisionService message flow node and its associated
configurable service will not be present in IBM App Connect Enterprise v11
·
The
WebSphere Application Server console plugin. WebSphere Message Broker v8, IBM
Integration Bus v9 and v10 provided this plugin for WebSphere Application
Server to enable WAS administrators to control IIB integration nodes.
·
There
will be a java IBM Integration API provided with App Connect Enterprise v11.
However, some parts of this API from IIBv10 (based upon the technology from
earlier WebSphere Message Broker versions known as the Configuration Manager
Proxy API or CMP) will be removed.
·
There
will be a new administrative REST API (“REST APIv2”) which replaces the IBM
Integration Bus REST APIv1
·
If
you are concerned about any of the above items, or about any aspect of
migration, then please do not hesitate to get in direct contact with us by
emailing AskAppIn@uk.ibm.com and we will be happy to discuss
the right way to move you forward.
