What is Thunderbolt?

Thunderbolt Integration Suite is a full middleware server infrastructure enabling the design and implementation of transactions between disparate systems

It enables the creation of applications which utilize data from different systems which will not naturally speak together.


Thunderbolt makes disparate systems talk to each other


Thunderbolt Functional Components



Transaction engine– Handles all issues of persistency and

transactionality Business Process Modeler BPM

– A GUI for designing business process logic, mapping and transformation

Runtime monitor– A GUI for configuration monitoring and

administration of the integrated system



Heartbeat monitor– Checks the availability of connectors and transformers– Communicates with the engine to start/re-start faulted

connectors– Checks the run ability of transaction models

Connectors: – Enables transfer of data from one system to another

Transformers: – Manipulate and transform transactional data

Node controllers: – Maintains connector availability


Thunderbolt Architecture: Distributed and Open


How does Thunderbolt fit in with Web Services?

As an internet-based integration platform, Thunderbolt is perfect as a front end or back end of any web service

Thunderbolt brings the transactional logic and integration pipe work required to implement web services


Thunderbolt makes web services easy

Thunderbolt takes care of all the work required in developing logic, persistence, transactionality and transportation in any integration project:

– Creation of the pipe work for physical transport of data– Remote management of connectors– Modeling of business processes, their logic and data

transforms– Issues of persistency– Issues of transactionality– Issues of scalability and availability


Business Process Modeler BPM

Thunderbolt BPM is a powerful yet easy-to-use component that facilitates design and implementation of transactions between disparate systems.


Business Process Modeler (BPM)

Dynamically

configurable

connector objects

Intuitive mapping of

source fields into business

object fields

Easy inclusion of

business logic into

transactions

Automatic generation

of transactio

n code


Business Process Modeler (BPM)

Uses an intuitive drag-and-drop transaction design interface

Dynamically generated transaction definition language using TDL, XML or BPL

Graphically specify business processes– Graphically design business process flows– Link business process to transaction flows– Easy-to-use interface using a tree view


Runtime Monitor

Thunderbolt Runtime Monitor is a central administration and configuration tool of the entire integrated system.


Runtime Monitor

Show the system’s overall status Start/Stop the engine Manage and configure the system Manage node controllers Manage and configure connectors Manage and configure transformers View and recover failed transactions View transactions audit trail


Runtime Monitor - Status

View overall running status of

the integrated

system

Check alarm state in case of system failure

Start/Stop the

transaction engine


Runtime Monitor - Configuration

Configure the

system features

Email administrat

or on system failure

View and manage business processes

and transaction models


Runtime Monitor – Connector Management

View and edit

failure


Thunderbolt Product Summary

Thunderbolt a straightforward and complete toolkit, ideal for the development of web services as a front end or back end system.

Some of Thunderbolt’s product highlights are:

– A runtime monitor console to configure and administer the whole system– A drag and drop business process design console to define Business logic work

flow, mapping and transformations– Full remote connector management including failure detection of components and

shutdown of affected business processes– Start/Re-start/Shutdown of remote connectors– Heartbeat monitoring of the complete infrastructure– Rapid connector development library and toolkit– Transaction Processing monitoring and resource management– Auto load balancing– Compliant with industry standards
