Adapter Connector Integration Process for Computing Environments
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Integration scenarios often require complete redeployment when modified, leading to unrecoverable states and manual intervention, especially in dynamic environments like OSGi, due to the potential for integration adapters not being deployed prior to the scenario, resulting in system downtime and computational expenses.
Innovation Solution
Establishing relationships between consuming integration flows and integration adapters during the design time phase, allowing for dependency injection and ensuring adapters are deployed before integration scenarios, using a connector component that manages dependencies and waits for all deployment processes to finish before activating the integration scenario.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If integration scenarios are deployed without ensuring adapter deployment order, then deployment speed is improved, but system reliability deteriorates due to unrecoverable states
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes relationships between integration flows and adapters during the design phase, creating a deployment manifest that pre-defines deployment order requirements. This preliminary action allows the system to automatically manage deployment sequencing without manual intervention, ensuring adapters are deployed before integration scenarios while maintaining fast automated deployment.
2Stability of the object's composition
If complete redeployment is performed when integration scenarios are modified, then system consistency is improved, but productivity deteriorates due to downtime
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the integration deployment into independent deployable units (integration scenarios and adapters) with defined dependencies. The deployment manifest captures these relationships, allowing selective redeployment of only affected components rather than forcing complete system redeployment, thus maintaining consistency while minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
3Ease of operation
If manual intervention is required for deployment recovery, then deployment control is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service deployment management through automated dependency resolution. The deployment manifest automatically tracks relationships between integration flows and adapters, and the system autonomously manages deployment sequencing and recovery operations without requiring manual intervention, thereby improving ease of operation while handling complexity automatically.

AI summary
Deployment of computing environment is initiated. The computing environment includes at least one integration scenario and at least one adapter providing an interface to a backend computing system. Thereafter, a runtime component prevents activation of the at least one integration scenario until such time that the at least one adapter is fully deployed. Integration flows within the at least one integration scenario are subsequently enabled to utilize the at least one adapter. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
