WebSphere Transformation Extender

WebSphere Transformation Extender performs transformation and routing of data, in any format including XML, non-XML, and mixed formats, from source systems to target systems in batch and real-time environments. The sources can include files, relational databases, message-oriented middleware (MOM), packaged applications, or other external sources. After retrieving the data from its sources, WebSphere Transformation Extender transforms the data and routes it to any number of targets where it is needed, providing the appropriate content and format for each target system.

IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender for Application Programming

WebSphere Transformation for Application Programming edition is used to deploy transformations in custom programming environments and third party application servers. . This edition is recommended when you want to call directly from your application into the transformation engine to execute a prebuilt transformation map developed in the Design Studio.

IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender with Command Server

WebSphere Transformation Extender with Command Server allows the transformation engine to be called directly from a command line, shell script, JCL, or timer. WebSphere Transformation Extender Command Server is a powerful command-line-driven environment to control the execution of a transformation.

IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender with Launcher

WebSphere Transformation Extender with Launcher packages the transformation engine with a, standalone event server runtime environment. WebSphere Transformation Extender Launcher includes Command Server capabilities. The launcher activates transformations based on triggers.

IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender for Integration Servers

V8.2 introduces a new edition to the family, WebSphere Transformation Extender for Integration Servers for Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and Business Process Management (BPM) solutions. It is introduced to ease installation and take advantage of new WebSphere Transformation Extender bindings provided with WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere ESB which simplify integration. The transformation engine is a powerful enhancement with a small footprint to the native Java mediation and business rule capabilities. It can also enhance WebSphere Business Services Fabric solutions which include the WebSphere Process Server.
