Configuring Integration Service in Temenos Fabric Console

 Hello, today we see how to configure an Integration service in Temenos Fabric Console. The Fabric console is very powerful tool such that it can connect with various types of backend services. some of the backend connecters include XML, SOAP, JSON, Java, JavaScript, Relational database. One can also set mock data with Mock data connector. Now lets go through the process of configuring an Integration service step by step.

1. First open the console and goto the App and in the Configure Service tab press the Configure New button. 
   
   
   
2. Now enter the service name by which you will later access. Select the service type, some of them I have mentioned above. You may see that I have selected as JSON as this service will return a JSON response. Enter the base url of your service. For now the web service authentication is set to none, this can also be configured for security purpose. Now press "save" or "save and add operation" 
   
   
   
3. Click on the "add operation" button in operation list tab. 
    
4. Enter the name of operation and set any url suffix that might be present in the service url that you are configuring. Here it is being set as "search?country=$countryname" where search represents the operation name and country is the parameter by which search is to be made and $countryname is the parameter value.  
   
   
   
5. In the Request Input tab set the parameter countryname, here a default value is also set as "United States".  
   
   
   
6. One more thing that can be configured but it is not mandatory is the output. If no output parameters are set then all the response is returned. If Response Output is set then the desired response is returned. Here country, name, alpha_two_code are being returned. The $.[*] means the array [] inside the main response $. 
   
   
   
7. Now click "save and fetch response". You may see the output result. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
8. In order to consume this service in an application it will be needed to publish the service first. 
   
   
   
   
   

  

Thank you for reading. Have a good day.

Kony Visualizer Reference Architecture

 Hi folks, well this is something new to those of you are not known to kony framework or visualizer or temenos. Visualizer is the IDE used to develop form based mobile and web applications, it is owned by Temenos company which is famous worldwide for its banking related products. Reference architecture is style of development that is done in kony framework. kony framework is a collection of JavaScript modules, controller files, extensions. Refer to the image below:

In Reference Architecture development there are forms which are built for mobile or web. 

1-These forms contain widgets like label, textbox, listbox, segments and so on. A form may contain components as well. A component is a collection of widgets created with the purpose for reusability.

2- The forms business rules or validations are applied at the presentation layer which is written in presentation controller and its extension files. Presentation controllers connect the form controllers with the business controllers.

3- The business controllers connects with the repository to perform CRUD operations.

4- Repository and models are there to connect the front-end with back-end services to send/receive data. 

The back-end services are connected via Fabric which is a very powerful and secure tool for connectivity. More on Fabric some other day.
