Objective

• Develop a message flow that implements aggregation to fan-out information into a single output message.
• Configure integration nodes and integration servers to connect to secured resources by using credentials that are stored in encrypted form in an IBM App Connect Enterprise vault
• Configure an IBM App Connect vault for storing encrypted credentials, which can be used to access secured resources
• Enable user trace and retrieve the collected trace data
• Build a message flow that uses IBM App Connect Enterprise web user interface to view events and replay messages
• Create monitoring events on selected nodes so that they could be published to a topic and recorded into a database table
• Construct and configure a business transaction definition in the web user interface
• Create the business events that make up a business transaction definition
• Design an application that uses the Business Transaction Monitoring dashboard to view events in completed, failed, inconsistent, and in-progress states
• Create and add user-defined properties to a message flow
• Assemble promoted properties to provide common values for multiple message flow nodes in the flow by converging promoted properties
