With a little bit of Java coding you can add powerful functionality to webMethods Integration Server. This one comes from the WxConfig NG project. There it is used to validate responses for auto-setup of environment configuration.
If you want to run the the webMethods Microservices Runtime that comes with Service Designer separately, you can do that. But the start script for Linux and macOS contains an error. It is easy to fix and here are the details.
The IT job market is not a cozy place right now. To help people find their new job, I put together this list of recommendations. While originally targeted for webMethods, much of it is also applicable for other roles.
The IBM AS/400 midrange system is a fascinating piece of technology. But it does quite a few things differently than PC-based servers. So be prepared to run into a few challenges when working with it for the first time. Here is my story from a really interesting project.
Configuration management is a critical part of any IT project and even more so in the context of integration. This article discusses a number of scenarios where it can make sense to switch to WxConfig NG.
This is the first in a series of posts to inform people about what is happening with WxConfig NG.
There are several ways to deploy code to webMethods Integration. Let’s look at how things work under the hood, some common pitfalls, and how you can easily automate things. This knowledge will allow you to deliver more value to projects.
We all aim to write robust code. Here is an article how to use the “branch” operation in Flow services. There are multiple approaches and we look at their pros and cons. I will also give some career tips and explore where invalid data might come from.
A key aspect of my upcoming online course about CI/CD for webMethods Integration Server is the automated creation of a proper environment. You don’t need to deal with all the underlying details, but can fully concentrate on learning CI/CD. This article describes the environment and explains the rational behind it.
While you can start simple with just one package, this soon becomes a problem. Here is real-world advice how to structure your code base. This reduces complexity, makes your solution much easier to maintain, and reduces the risk of bugs. And as a special bonus, you end up with a real integration platform.
