The following sections explain the configuration of the described integration scenario by using Saddle. The configuration can be divided into three steps:
| 1. | Workflow design The configuration of the information pathway between the reseller ERP and the producer ERP. The result of this configuration will be a Mule configuration file. This configuration file works with any vanilla Mule installation. Of course, as components of the Saddle message layer will be used, these have to be copied to the “mule/lib/user” folder of the Mule installation. But this is automatically accomplished, when Saddle deploys the workflow to Mule. |
| 2. | Definition of the message structure The messages of the ERP systems of the reseller and the producer use a proprietary format. Therefore, Saddle has to know how to parse those messages. This configuration step defines the structure of the source (reseller ERP) and destination (producer ERP) message format. |
| 3. | Mapping The final step will be the mapping between the data structures of the reseller and the producer messages. |
