SOA Integration - Variant with Batch-Driven Integration Process

In this variant, the integration process is initiated by a time-based event. In this case, a job scheduler added before the BPEL process triggers an event at a specified time, which starts the process instance. The process is started by the scheduler via a web service call.

The following diagram shows the scenario:

Trigger:

• The job scheduler building block does a web service request at a specified time.

Primary flow:

1. The call from the job scheduler via SOAP initiates a new integration process instance.

2. As in the previous variants, the BPEL process executes the necessary integration steps and, depending on the situation, integrates one system via a database adapter, and the other directly via a web service call.
