PHPCompute Node sample

Support for the PHP scripting language is available on Windows® only.

The PHPCompute node is a general purpose programming node, which you can use for message routing and transformation. It is similar to the Compute node, but uses the PHP scripting language rather than ESQL.

You can use the PHPCompute node to perform the following tasks:

Examine an incoming message and, depending on its content, propagate it unchanged to one of the output terminals of the node. The node functions in a similar way to a Filter node, but uses PHP instead of ESQL to determine which output terminal to use.
Change part of an incoming message and propagate the changed message to one of the output terminals.
Create and build a new output message that is totally independent of the input message.

The PHPCompute Node sample contains a message flow that demonstrates how a PHPCompute node can be used to process simple invoices, by reading input messages and producing new output messages. It is functionally equivalent to the JavaComputeTransform sample.

NOTE: In WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0 and IBM Integration Bus, message model schema files contained in libraries are the preferred way to model messages for most data formats, including the new DFDL domain. Message sets continue to be supported, and are required if you use the MRM or IDOC domains. You can continue to import and deploy message sets for use in message flows. However, if you need to create one or more message sets, message definitions, or message categories when using this sample, you must first enable message set development in the IBM Integration Toolkit. For more information, see Enabling message set development in the IBM Integration Bus documentation.

Read about the sample

You can set up the sample in one of the following ways:

Import and deploy the sample
This option imports the sample files into your workspace and deploys the sample to the integration node. This option also sets up additional resources for the sample, for example, WebSphere MQ queues.
Import the sample
This option imports the sample files into your workspace. Additional manual steps might be required to configure the sample for testing.

You can import or import and deploy a sample only when you use the information center that is integrated with the IBM Integration Toolkit.

Run the sample

When you have finished with the sample, you can remove it in one of the following ways:
