Integration Framework

The integration framework (IFW) is the mechanism that CA SOI uses to connect to domain managers and gather CI, service, topology, and state information. It exists on any system with a connector or the SA Manager, and it interfaces with the connector framework to prepare connector data for transmission to the manager components. The IFW contains a transformation engine that uses a connector policy to transform connector data to the USM format. The IFW also includes the infrastructure of the Event Management component. The component provides the mechanism for storing events from connectors for exposure to event policy and eventual display as alerts after event processing completes.

The IFW uses the Apache ActiveMQ message broker, which fully implements the Java Message Service (JMS) as its protocol.
