ESB – Enterprise Service Bus
1. Product Introduction
The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Platform is a solution designed to manage and orchestrate banking transactions. It serves as a central system to integrate and connect all systems within the banking organization (NHHT). The ESB includes a backend process for providing APIs to internal systems and a user interface for controlling and managing the provided APIs, used by NHHT staff at the headquarters.
2. Product Goals/Benefits
- Complex Middleware Tools: Integrates disparate components and services into a cohesive system and distributes tasks among them.
- Versatile Roles: Can perform various roles, including protocol transformation, routing, message transformation, and logging.
3. Key Features
- Message Routing: Routes messages between services within the ESB, ensuring that messages follow the desired flow.
- Monitoring and Control: Monitors and controls the routing of message exchanges between services, ensuring strict supervision of all messages passing through the ESB.
- Service Deployment Management: Manages the deployment of provided services, allowing or disallowing specific services to interact with the ESB.
- Data Transformation and Mapping: Facilitates data mapping between sent/received messages according to a defined set of rules.
- Message Queuing: Ensures that messages entering/exiting the ESB are processed in queues, preventing transaction bottlenecks during high-volume requests from various channels.
- Exception Handling: Defines and handles exceptions that may arise during message transmission/reception.
- Traffic Management (Quota Management): Allows administrators to configure and manage quotas for each service channel, such as maximum message volume per second, hour, or day.
- Real-Time Activity Monitoring: Enables administrators to monitor the ESB’s real-time activity status and generate necessary system management reports.
4. Conclusion
This solution can be applied to all transaction systems of financial institutions, helping these organizations manage their systems centrally. The ESB platform provides a robust infrastructure for integrating and managing disparate systems, improving efficiency, and ensuring smooth transaction handling across multiple channels.
