Inbound Integration
Processing
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2007, 2008
Data that the integration framework receives from an external application is
identified as inbound data. The integration framework can facilitate inbound data
exchange asynchronously or synchronously.
Asynchronous messages are processed through the Java Message Service (JMS)
queues. JMS queues can process messages in order of priority, or in a
multi-threaded manner.
Synchronous messages are not processed through the JMS queues. A direct
connection is established between the integration framework and the external
application. The integration framework returns a response to the external
application that confirms success or failure of the processed message.
The integration framework expects all XML messages to be encoded in a Unicode
format.
