Integrate 2 ESBs

[Former Member]

Hello

Wanted to know how could we integrate 2 ESBs : lets say we have Tibco and it has to send a message to PI , what is the method by which any 2 ESBs exchange messages : do they go through some staging ground ? database or file ? or 2 ESBs can talk directly without staging area... are there any pros and cons of one method over other?

Would appreciated feedback..

Thank you.

there are possibly numerous ways.

1. Use Webservices

2. Use JMS queues

the above are usually what we see in common implementations.

other option could be use of files. It is upto you to confirm on what ideally suits your scenario.

Will frame question like : Like a general practice or Best practice : IS direct integration of 2 ESBs the right way to approach integration or we should go through some persistent layer ( example : DB) to integrate 2 ESBs ??

Thanks folks...

Using SAP XI JMS adapter we can integrate with TIBCO ,using web service also we can integrate two ESB's.

Using web service you imply suppose ESB needs to send message to PI : PI will host web service and send over WSDL file to ESB and ESB can consume this WSDL file and send message via its receiver transform adapter to PI which will not need a adapter since sender SOAP adapter is not required on PI...
