Aggregation nodes using MQ nodes with back-end services


Learn how to use the Aggregation nodes to fan-out and fan-in messages using MQ nodes.
OVERVIEW

This tutorial demonstrates a simple message flow that receives an MQ message, and fans-out two separate MQ request messages (after simple transformations using a Mapping node). Two separate example back-end message flows are provided which read these MQ requests and reply to a common response queue. Finally, a separate fan-in message flow aggregates the two response messages.

This tutorial requires an IIB node which is associated with a local queue manager.

In IBM Integration Bus, an application is a container for all the resources that are required to create a solution. This tutorial provides three applications - one to hold the fan-out and fan-in aggregation flows, and two other applications for the back-end MQ flows.

This tutorial takes approximately 5 minutes.
