A method includes: receiving an initial request message in a request queue of the messaging system; receiving an aggregation reply message in a reply queue of the messaging system, wherein the aggregation reply message is received from an integration system that processes the initial request message, and wherein the aggregation reply message includes an aggregation identifier associated with the initial request message; in response to receiving the aggregation reply message, starting a timeout process; monitoring the timeout process; holding one or more messages that are in the reply queue and that include the aggregation identifier until the timeout process expires or an expected number of responses has been received; and making available the one or more messages that are in the reply queue and that include the aggregation identifier based on the timeout process expiring or the expected number of responses having been received.

Timeout processing for aggregation messaging in an integration environment

Disclosed is a method, system, and computer program product for preserving actions taken after a snapshot. One embodiment of the method may comprise capturing a snapshot of a virtualized container environment (VCE), the VCE comprising one or more applications-of-interest. The method may further comprise intercepting an event-of-interest directed to an application-of-interest within the VCE. The method may further comprise automatically storing the intercepted event in an action database. The method may further comprise, in response to a user instruction to revert the VCE to a prior snapshot, generating an automated script from the intercepted events, wherein the automated script comprises actions that occurred in the VCE after capture of the selected snapshot; and executing the automated script.

Preserving changes when reverting back to a snapshot

An integration flow can be improved with the use of a pattern identified from a pattern library. The identified pattern can include a snippet of nodes which are functionally equivalent to a subset of nodes in the integration flow. The pattern also lists an endpoint capable of performing the snippet of nodes. The integration flow can therefore be updated to cause the endpoint to perform the snippet of nodes.

Integration flow workload distribution

A computer-implemented method for a multi-tenant integration environment includes, in response to an error occurring during a state of execution of an integration flow, generating error data for the error. The method further includes associating the generated error data with the error. The method further includes storing the generated error data in a data storage component. The generated error data includes (i) error state information corresponding to the state of execution of the integration flow and (ii) target state information corresponding to a target state of execution of the integration flow.

Multi-tenant integration environment

Presented are concepts for configuring data communication with an application flow in an integration system, wherein various connection routes to an application flow may be offered to a client. By way of example, connection configuration information associated with an application flow may relate to a plurality of different connection routes that are available for the associated application flow. This connection configuration information may be dynamically maintained to reflect flow and connection route availability. When an application flow is requested by a client, the connection configuration information for that application flow may be provided to the client. This may enable the client to select a preferred route.
