Hi All,
I am new to webMethods, i have a small question
How do we subscribe to a document through the Broker?
can any one of you clarify me how IS, Broker and adapters are related when we post the doc. which will receive the document first, IS or Broker??

thanks for your answers…

Hi,
just to clarify, if You mean “post the doc”, do you mean invoke a IS service through HTTP POST?? or some other kind of post??

I suggest to do some reading about webMethods first, at least “publish - subscribe user guide”, and “webMethods developer user guide”, or some other “starter”

Hi Jagadeesh

Broker is basically used for pub-sub and installed on IS . When you publish a document you can always set your option whether you want to publish to IS or Broker by setting “local” in publish service to true(IS)/false(Broker). To subscribe a document you create a trigger where you specify document and service to invoke which means the trigger invokes the specified service when the specified document is published to broker.

Hope this is clear

Dear friend,
To summary:

1. Broker is the central messaging bus
2. IS is a client of Broker
3. Adapter is used to conenct to any other systems.
4. Adapter get data from the system like a DB of a home-grown system.
5. there is a flow service in IS who deals some pre-processing to the data.
6. the flow service publish the data as a document to Broker.
7. another client of the Broker get the document thrgough subscription and do the biz process.

Above is a very simple sample drafting the relation among Broker, IS and Adapter. Hope it helps something.

Hi Friends,
Thanks for your replies, now i got bit idea about IS and Broker.

This is incorrect. Broker can be installed on the same machine as Integration Server but it is incorrect to say “Broker is installed on IS.” They are two separate and independent executables that communicate.
