The WebSphere ESB
conversion tool creates a subflow as a placeholder for WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus mediation primitives that are
not of type Message Element Setter mediation primitive, Message Filter
mediation primitive or Mapping mediation primitive. The placeholder
subflow is a subflow of the flow that is created for the WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus operation. It contains a Passthrough node and multiple output terminals.
There are as many output node terminals as terminals are available in your WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus mediation primitive.
To finalize the conversion of a WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus mediation primitive, complete
the following steps:
- Decide whether to replace the placeholder subflow in your
operation subflow or to replace the Passthrough node inside the placeholder subflow.
- Replace the placeholder subflow when an IBM Integration Bus message flow node equivalent to your WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus mediation primitive is available.
- Replace the Passthrough node inside the placeholder
subflow when multiple IBM Integration Bus message flow nodes are needed to replace the WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus mediation primitive.
- Depending on your choice in the previous step, open the
operation subflow or the placeholder subflow in the Message
Flow editor.
- To open the placeholder subflow, double-click the following
to-do message: In message flow 'Message Flow Name', you must
convert the 'Mediation Primitive Type' mediation primitive 'Mediation
Primitive Name' manually. in the Review results view.
- To open the operation subflow, double-click the subflow that
is highlighted for the previous to-do message in the Review
results view left panel. The operation subflow that contains
the placeholder subflow opens.
- To replace a placeholder subflow, complete the following
steps:
- Identify the IBM Integration Bus message flow node that is equivalent to your WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus mediation primitive. For more
information about IBM Integration Bus message flow nodes, see Built-in nodes.
- Drag and drop the message flow node onto the operation subflow
and replace the placeholder subflow with it.
- Connect the input terminals and the output terminals of the message flow node in the same way as the placeholder
subflow was connected.
- Rename the message flow node with the name of the placeholder
subflow. In the Properties view of the message flow node, select Description, edit the property Node name, and enter the
placeholder subflow name.
- Configure other message flow node properties. The to-do
message provides a list of the properties set in the mediation primitive
that do not have default values, including the promoted properties.
Use these values to manually configure the message flow node properties in IBM Integration Bus.
- Save the changes.
- To replace a Passthrough node, complete the following
steps:
- Identify the IBM Integration Bus message flow nodes that you need to recreate
the WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus mediation primitive.
For more information about IBM Integration Bus message flow nodes, see Built-in nodes.
- Drag and drop the message flow nodes onto the placeholder
subflow.
- Replace the Passthrough node with the new message flow nodes, connected in the appropriate
order so as to recreate the mediation primitive functionality in IBM Integration Bus. For more information about
how to develop a message flow, see Developing message flows.
- Optional: Rename the message flow nodes. In the Properties view of the message flow node, select Description, edit the property Node name, and enter the new name.
- Configure other message flow node properties. The to-do
message provides a list of the properties set in the mediation primitive
that do not have default values, including the promoted properties.
Use these values to manually configure the message flow node properties in IBM Integration Bus.
- Save the changes.
