Concepts, Assets, and Services

Learn about the assets that you create and the services and concepts that you use in this tutorial.

Assets

Service Connector
A service connector interacts with services in

, within a firewall, or anywhere in the cloud, if the service has an exposed API. In this tutorial, you do not create a service connector from scratch. Instead, you import a WSDL file to create a service connector.
Service Connector Process Object
A process object groups and structures data. A service connector process object groups and structures service connector input and output. The service connector process object is available to any process that uses the service connector. For example, if a service returns demographic information such as name, address, and telephone number, you can create a process object called Demographics to store this output information. You can also create process objects independent of service connectors. This tutorial covers process objects you create within a service connector.
Connection
A connection defines the configuration to connect to a service connector. The service connector may be a built-in connector like JDBC or one that you create, like the Calculator service connector in this tutorial. To use the service connector in a process, you must first create a connection, and then add the connection to the process.
Process
A process is a set of instructions that automate a business requirement. Use process steps to configure a process to run tasks in sequence, obtain information using complex XQuery, take decisions based on some criteria, and much more.

Concepts

Fault Handling
Fault handling refers to configuring the process to account for an exception or an unanticipated condition that occurs during the process flow. With fault handling, a predictable result always occurs. For example, if you think that you might get an error for an output variable, enable fault handling so you see the text "faulted" instead of an HTTPS 500 error.

Services

Application Integration
Application Integration
is an
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
service that you can use to perform API-based integration, event processing, and service and process orchestration.
Application Integration Console
Application Integration Console
is an
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services
service that you can use to perform detailed monitoring and debugging for invoked process instances.
