There are many reasons to use an enterprise service bus (ESB) as the event bus:
In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we show examples of using an ESB to transform and enrich an event received from Customer Information Control System (CICS®) Transaction Server. We also show an example of enriching an event.
This book is intended for anyone planning to use CICS events with an ESB.
This book contains four parts:
Part 1, "Introduction" on page 1 introduces event processing. We explain what it is and why you need it. We also review the CICS TS implementation of event processing. We discuss enterprise service bus technology and how to integrate event processing with an ESB.
Part 2, "Environment" on page 55 of the book focuses on our environment and the application we chose to use.
Part 3, "Scenarios" on page 89 describes our scenarios with three separate ESBs along with information about the IBM WebSphere® Business Events, IBM WebSphere Business Monitor, and IBM WebSphere Process Server for z/OS® setup details:
Scenario 1: IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS business scenario
Scenario 2: IBM WebSphere Message Broker for z/OS business scenario
Scenario 3: DataPower® business scenario
