MediationZone Agents
Workflows may be interlinked into mediation tasks of virtually any complexity, where the output of one Workflow is the input of another. Agents specifically designed for this purpose minimize the overhead related to inter-workflow processing; this contributes to the superior performance of MediationZone.
There are three different types of workflows, that each have a slightly different execution behavior, but their modeling and configuration structure is the same.
Batch workflows – Are used to collect, process and distribute file-based data, also referred to as an Offline model. Batch Workflows can be configured for multi-threaded execution, and enforces a first-in-first-out processing order and a strict transaction boundary based on each batch processed.
Real-time workflows – Enables online processing of requests/answers with other systems. These Workflows use multi-threading to enable execution of large numbers of independent execution paths simultaneously.
Task workflows – Used to execute common activities such as cleanup or maintenance tasks. A number of System Tasks are pre-configured in
MediationZone and can be complemented with any user-defined activity. Task Workflows are further described in Types of Workflows.
