Architecture Elements

You use an integration gateway to receive and send messages among integration participant systems.

Listening connectors receive incoming messages and deliver the incoming requests to the gateway manager, which is a dispatcher for messages that flow through an integration gateway. The gateway manager determines which target connector to use to properly deliver the messages to their intended recipients. The target connector then delivers the messages to the intended recipients using the recipients’ preferred protocols.

This image illustrates the components that comprise the architecture of the integration gateway.
