RepConnector brings together traditional data integration with message-level integration.
RepConnector extends the reach of enterprise integration by detecting business events occurring in existing applications. It monitors databases for business events of interest, transforms them into XML, and routes them to Java components, integration servers, business process engines, and other applications. RepConnector delivers detected events through TIBCO Rendezvous™ and IBM Websphere MQ™ messaging infrastructures, as well as any J2EE-compliant JMS messaging systems, for transport to applications and users across the enterprise.
RepConnector enables you to reverse the direction of delivery: RepConnector detects message events in a messaging system, transforms those events to SQL statements, and sends them to the configured database tables.
RepConnector nonintrusively links automated business processes with existing database applications. As a result, you can integrate existing database applications with various nonintrusive EAI and business process management systems through RepConnector. Using RepConnector with messaging infrastructures, you can transmit events from existing applications to other applications in your enterprise.
