Chapter 2: Developing ODL Applications

Introduction

An acquisition AIM acquires data from an endpoint application through a direct data feed over a communication connection (such as TCP/IP, TTY, or Telnet) or by reading data from one or more files, and sends the information to an SFM for optional transaction production.

A delivery AIM receives transactions from an SFM and sends them to the destination endpoint.

To develop acquisition and delivery AIMs, follow these steps:

  1. Use MSG-IDE to create the AIMs. See Chapter 3, “Using MSG-IDE.”

  2. Use the Configurator to specify acquisition and delivery AIM properties such as a communication protocol (resources) and routing functions. See the e-Biz Impact Configuration Guide, Chapter 4, “Configuring Applications,” for detailed instructions.

  3. Deploy the MSG-IDE project files to the location of the e-Biz Impact server. See the e-Biz Impact Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, “Deploying Files and Executing e-Biz Impact Clusters.”

In addition to developing acquisition and delivery AIMs, you also must develop any SFM objects necessary for transaction production (see the e-Biz Impact TRAN-IDE Guide), and implement optional security authorization (see the e-Biz Impact Authorization Guide). See the e-Biz Impact Getting Started Guide for an overview of all the procedures that are necessary to develop and configure an e-Biz Impact implementation.
