Integration Templates (Dev Guides)

Integration Templates are essentially interactive dialogs designed to generate the integration code (XML Domain Specific Language) needed for our data integration based on guided responses from the user.

Each of these Integration Templates is a predefined piece of code that allows us to efficiently and effectively configure an IntegrationManager instance to perform specific actions (importing or exporting data) with 3rd party systems.

Using Integration Templates

The concept of data integration patterns will highlight the multitude of options that are available for building the data migration pipeline for our projects. Even a relatively simple set of requirements for the process of data integration can be a complex task with many possible variations and options. It will tend to generate a large amount of code that needs to be debugged and maintained.

Without the use of these Integration Templates we would require the skills of a technical developer (in this case an Integration Engineer) to develop, deploy and manage all of our data integration pipelines. This customized option can be prone to changes to the environment that may cause one of our integrations to fail. Integration Templates are tightly coupled with the IntegrationManager platform and thoroughly tested by the Pricefx Platform team.

Additionally, from a data integration perspective, Pricefx pricing solutions data requirements tend to follow a prescribed set of patterns and these patterns have been codified into the Integration Templates.

Types of Integration Templates

The Pricefx Integration Templates are accessible through the PlatformManager tool via the Marketplace option:
