COVID-19 and Data: Why APIs are Crucial to Surviving This Pandemic

August 18, 2020Business, Mulesoft Integration 0

If the COVID-19 has taught us anything valuable, it’s that data is priceless. Without access to data, we would be fighting this pandemic blind, unable to see our way forward.

And although our reliance on data has become quite clear in the 21^st century and the digital transformation that has defined it, the pandemic has emphasized the need for data integration to predict and tackle future crises and recover from calamities as quickly as possible.

Mule flow, sub-flow and Error handling

June 3, 2020Mulesoft Integration 0

A mule application can have single or multiple mule flows. Mule applications can be completed using only flow or flows. It not necessary to use sub-flow.

A Mule Flow has three sections:

Source: This section contains the connector such as Listener, Scheduler.

Process: Contains any kind of components, connectors, or message processors which needs to achieve a problem.

Error handling: Handle the error occurs in the Process.

A sub-flow has only one section.

sub-flow doesn’t have any event sources and error handler section. sub-flow can be used as a reference flow of a Mule flow.

Error Handling: Every Mule flow has it’s own Error Handling section where as sub-flow doesn’t have. If any error occurred in the sub-flow, it will propagate the error to the parent flow by default. The error will be handled according the implementation in the parent flow Error handling section.

Service Integration

Imagine yourself as a service agent for retail giants like Amazon or Alibaba. What is the first thing you notice? Customer queries and service demands. Handling such a huge load of queries makes the work even more difficult. And that results in lack of customer retention.

What is it?

It’s easier to get customers than keep the customers. Customer retention can only be ensured through proper customer service. But how to do that?

APIs & Energy Sector: The Path to Digital Transformation

March 26, 2020Business, Mulesoft Integration 0

The energy sector is all about improving the processes that aid in efficient energy production and consumption. This in turn requires constant changes in the way data is managed and accessed. And this is where technology plays a key role: IT is needed by the energy and utilities providers because they depend on constant deployment, integration and implementation. Another important factor is the access, analysis and real-time processing of data. There is a continuous need for improved processes to deliver these facilities in the most cost-effective way in order to reach business objectives. This is where APIs (Application Program Interface) come in handy.

Quick intro to handling Error in Mule 4

May 3, 2020Mulesoft Integration 0

In MULE 4 when a event is processed Messaging errors happens within the flow when there is some kind of processing issue and the flow execution stops. This post explains how messaging errors are handled and how the error objects are created when a Messaging Error occurs. These Error Objects and are handled with error handler. Each error handler contains one or more error handler scopes. Each error scope can contain many number of event processors.

Remember those old days, when you need to add the correlationId as a prefix in each and every log messages in Mule 3 just to keep track of an individual HTTP request in your Mule API? Those days are just gone. So does the pain of extra Muley works. Because it is automatically done for you by Mule 4.

MuleSoft – MsSQL JDBC connection over SSL

October 24, 2020Mulesoft Integration 2

Once upon a time, there was a Microsoft SQL Server named DB007 running in a data center in an enterprise organization in Toronto. DB007 was sad. It doesn’t get much attention due to the high demand in the SAAS based database solution. Everyone is excited talking about the cloud-based solution, NoSQL, data lakes, etc. However very few people considering storing data into DB007.
