IBM Transformation Extender

The architecture of IBM Transformation Extender (ITX) consists of several key components that work together to provide robust data transformation capabilities. The primary components include the Design Studio, the runtime engine, and the command-line interface (CLI). mms).

These map files define the transformation logic, including data mapping, validation rules, and data routing. The runtime engine is responsible for executing the map files and processing the data. It supports various data formats and protocols, enabling integration with diverse systems.

The CLI provides a command-line interface for administering the runtime environment, deploying map files, and monitoring the transformation processes. Communication between these components occurs through various channels. The Design Studio communicates with the runtime engine via a proprietary protocol for deploying maps and monitoring execution.

, JDBC). ITX uses file-based storage for configuration files, map files, and log files. It can also connect to databases for data input and output, supporting various database systems such as Oracle, DB2, and SQL Server.

Network requirements include ports for communication between the Design Studio and the runtime engine, as well as ports for database connectivity and communication with external systems. The ITX runtime engine can be deployed in various environments, including on-premises servers and cloud platforms, providing flexibility in deployment options.
