Migrating from JCAPS to IBM integration bus platform

The client is a leading 3PL logistics provider integrated the Sun SeeBeyond JCAPS tools to manage the integration platform between their end customers, carriers and customs clearance for A2A and B2B integration scenarios.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

• The client had an older version of sun Solaris Java Composite Application Platform Suites. It was a standards-based Enterprise Service Bus called Java CAPS (version 5.11) to handle the Logistics integration.
• The environment was split into 16 domains with minimal memory configuration. Domains in the JCAPS Server frequently went down due to increase in Java heap size and due to the number of projects that were getting loaded
• Restarting the domains became cumbersome and was impacting the business. The environment also demanded weekly cleaning of JMS queues. Also trouble shooting the existing logs was a lengthy process.

HOW AVASOFT HELPED?

• Migrated the Old sun Solaris to Linux Red Hat server to increase the performance of projects in JCAPS domains and unavailability of support
• Allocated more space for all domains configured in the new Server and recommended to maintain Dependent & independent projects in separate domains
• Provided the analysis based on the migration of a project deployed in JCAPS to IBM integration bus platform.
• Analyzed the equivalent communication setup configuration from JCAPS to IIB & the migration of trading partner configurations
• Analyzed the transaction frequency for each client to calculate the minimal downtime plan
• Analyzed the codes in the JCD’s & converted it to the IIB Message flows
• Converted the hardcoded values of the dynamic external database configuration for better consistency
• Advocated ESQL code on the IIB platform to avoid Java heap size issue

TECHNOLOGY STACK

VALUE ADDITIONS TO CUSTOMER

• Migrated the JCAPS projects from the Old Solaris platform into the Linux RED Hat
• Provided the effective plan and steps to migrate/split the projects from domains
• Provided the guideline to maintain the projects in the domains based on their dependency
• Cleared the environmental issues in terms of the more secure platform, memory allocation, coding dependencies & increased more support visibility
• Ability to Onboard more clients/carriers.
• Avoided the outage time of domains by reducing the project loads into each domain
• Added the Error handling and Archiving process for each client to track their file transaction

BUSINESS GAIN

• Provided the effective migration approach with minimal downtime for the migrations
• Reusable Service configurations using the IIB platform
• More secured IBM MQ configuration
• Documented the whole analysis of JCAPS server, domains and projects end point and component details
• Increased efficiency, performance & stability for all customers
• Project specific log configurations for the issue analysis scenarios
