B2B Data Exchange Components

B2B Data Exchange Components

B2B Data Exchange includes the following components:
  • Data Exchange Server. The Data Exchange Server manages document processing in B2B Data Exchange. It sends the inbound documents to PowerCenter for processing. After PowerCenter processes the documents, the Data Exchange Server takes outbound documents and puts them in the correct location to send to a partner.
  • Data Exchange Repository. The Data Exchange Repository resides in an Oracle or SQL Server database. The repository database tables contain the metadata required to process documents. When you create or modify partners, profiles, and other objects, the Operation Console saves metadata to the repository. The Data Exchange Server reads the metadata in the repository to determine the requirements for processing documents.
  • Operation Console. The Operation Console is a web application that customizes and monitors document processing for partners. It also administers users and resources in B2B Data Exchange. You use a browser to access the Operation Console.
  • Command line interface. B2B Data Exchange includes command line utilities that import and export metadata and archive metadata and events.
  • Application server. B2B Data Exchange uses the Apache Tomcat servlet container to run the Operation Console. By default, this Tomcat servlet container is installed during the B2B Data Exchange installation.
  • JDK. B2B Data Exchange is a Java application and requires the Java Development Kit (JDK). By default, the JDK is installed during the B2B Data Exchange installation.
  • Message broker. The Data Exchange server uses the B2B Data Exchange JMS Broker to send documents to PowerCenter for processing and receive documents from PowerCenter after processing. The B2B Data Exchange JMS Broker is installed during B2B Data Exchange installation.
B2B Data Exchange uses the following products to complete document processing:
  • PowerCenter. B2B Data Exchange uses real-time processing to process documents. For more information about PowerCenter and its components, see the Informatica PowerCenter documentation. You can use an Unstructured Data transformation in a PowerCenter workflow process to process documents. Data transformations convert complex data from one structure or format to another.
