The diagram source can be found here.

CDI and CAI are IICS services that are used for integration projects. Depending on the integration criteria, projects can be built using either CDI or CAI, or a hybrid approach when it would be beneficial to an individual project.

Cloud Data Integration

Cloud Data Integration (CDI) is IICS's data integration service that allows you to create, schedule, and monitor tasks. It provides a variety of connectors to various data sources and provides mechanisms to transform and map data from source to target.

CDI is best used for projects that have the following characteristics:

  • Large batch jobs, i.e. nightly uploads
  • Flat data structure
  • High latency environment
  • Periodic or scheduled jobs
  • Connectors exists for environment
  • Data migration
  • Data Integration Hub

Cloud Application Integration

Cloud Application Integration (CAI) is IICS's event-driven and service-oriented application integration service. It provides capabilities such as event processing, service orchestration, and process management.

CAI is best used for projects that have the following characteristics:

  • Small batch jobs, i.e. single record updates
  • Nested data structures, i.e. JSON, XML
  • Low latency environment
  • Event based / Real time integrations
  • Direct access to APIs
  • Business Processes
  • Composite Services, APIs
