How to make two SCA components with different interfaces talk to one another

  1. The OrderProcessing component has OrderProcessing interface
  2. The ShippingService component expects a ShippingService interface.

How can we get these two SCA components to talk to one another?

Create an Interface Mapping

In the Assembly Diagram,

  1. Wire OrderProcessing component to Shipping Service component

  2. In the Add Wire dialog window that appears (WID detects that the two interfaces are different), select create an interface etc.. and click OK.

An interface map (OrderProcessingToShippingServiceMap) that seats between the OrderProcessing and ShippingService component is created (see below).

Open the Interface Mapping Editor

Double-click OrderProcessingToShippingServiceMap to open the interface mapping editor.

Connect operations

  1. Connect the placeOrder(OrderProcessing) operation to the shipOrder(ShippingService) operation.

  2. Click on the connection you just created between the two interfaces to display the parameters of each interface.

Connect parameters

  1. Connect order(placeOrder) to shipTo(shipOrder) parameter.
  2. Connect orderNumber(shipOrder) to orderNumber(placeOrder) parameter.

Parameter flow

Notice the parameter flow (i.e move). The pointed end points to the direction of the flow. For example, order goes to shipTo.

Pre-requisites

You must have created a Library or a Module as a container for the business object.

In the Business Integration view, right-click Data Types and select New > Business Object.

2-Assign Business Object Name

Enter the business object name in the Name entry box and click Finish.

3-Add attributes

An empty business object is displayed.

Right-click inside the business object and select Add attribute.

Repeat above to add as many attributes as required.

4-Change attribute name and type

Default attribute name (attribute1) and type (string) are automatically set up. You can change the default attribute name and type to suit your specific requirements.

To change the attribute name, just overtype the current attribute1 name.

To change the attribute type, click on the current attribute type (string) and select the required attribute type.
