One of the restrictions when dealing with a short running process is that it must always run within a single transaction. The implication is that the process must complete within the default transaction timeout window. On an application server, this is 120s. We had an issue where our Process Server was creating a large number […]

It should be very well ‘baked’ and changes once development begins should be minimial. Major things like name spaces and object names should rarely […]

Here’s the abstract if you have a time machine: TSP-2518 – Effectively selecting integration patterns Brent Legris, Perficient, Inc., Senior Technical Architect, Olivera Zatezalo, MTS […]
I’ve never been much of a patterns guy. I kind of always have the ability to apply common sense to a system and turn up something that is straight forward and makes sense. Periodically I get asked about what set of patterns I used to decide how a system should behave. To answer this question […]

In a ‘typical’ scenario, a single row is written into a staging table, an SQL trigger writes this single row into the adapter’s event table, the adapter polls, converts the data into a […]
