IBM CP4I Scenario Introduction
-
FictionCorp is a Online shopping company which recieves the user registration data and stores it in kafka cluster to be consumed by other subscribed applications.
-
They want to use MQ Queue Manager to consume data from kafka topic for to notified downstream applications for new user registrations.
-
They have recently bought CP4I entitelment and exploring to use IBM Event Streams and MQ for implementing above user case.
Challanges
Your team have (3) days to document your approach to a Solution to the customers business problem using CP4I capabilities and any external capabilities that you think are necessary or useful.
Day 3: Demonstrate your solution to whole class.
Solution Architecture
High Level Architecture
- We need an Application Integration capabilities for publishing an API to post the user registration data to be produced to Event Stream Topic.
- Another application witin Applicaion Integration will consume the user registration data and upload it to the IBM MQ Queue.
Detailed Solution Flow
- Inside IBM App Connect Enterprise there will be an application that will expose the API to post the Data and transform it to the format required by the business users and publish it in an IBM Event Streams topic.
- Second application will be created to consume User data from Topic and upload to he MQ Queue.
List of Software Products Used In Scenario
The Cloud Pak for Integration services that we will be use are:
- IBM App Connect Enterprise
- IBM Event Streams
- IBM MQ
Solution Build
This scenario can be implemented/developed using one of the below two ways. You can use online CP4I App Connect Designer to design the flow and optionally export is as bar file to be deployed it on the integration server. Alternatively you can use traditional App Connect Enterprise (ACE) Client to design the flow and export the bar file to be deployed on the integration server.
You can refer to below instructions to Create Connection to shared Kafka cluster. Steps to create Kafka connection and save credentials and certs for all Kafka labs.
You may need to install client tools to work on this lab.
