bought BSwift tool for designing and creating web apps to enroll. Other applications which are
included in this integration are EDI, Active Health (Vendor), EDH (Enterprise Data Hub) built on
Mark Logic, in-house built CMA.
EIE layer comprises of integration tools like IIB, WTX, ODM, WSRR, WDP, BPM, WXS and Mark
Logic. Part of building EIE engine is enrolling members to insurance plans. Aetna uses industry
standard EDI X12/HIPAA message format and XML for communication between applications.
BSwift (web app) sends the X12 message which is intercepted by EDI gateway before landing in
IIB. IIB uses WTX maps for conversion between X12 and XML messages. Enrollment
information is then fed to HRP, EDH and Active Health applications. Other protocols which are
used include REST/HTTP and File.

CVS Caremark Corporation is an American retailer and health care company. CVS Caremark
provides pharmacy services through 7500+ retail stores, pharmacy benefit management, mail
order and specialty pharmacy division. It is headquartered in Woonsocket, RI. It is ranked 40th
Fortune Global 500 list and 13th
in US only Fortune 500.
The Specialty Connect is a strategic project for CVS Caremark to integrate different LOB’s of
CVS Caremark – RxConnect, Specialty and PBM. The Middleware layer is called Enterprise
Service Layer (ESL) which constitutes Datapower, IIB, WMQ and WSRR as main components.
ESL has 2 datacenters, East (Woonsocket, RI) and West (Scottsdale, AZ). Datapower is used as
security gateway and as a proxy service for Consumers of ESL and service providers to ESL.
Datapower is also used as service governance policy enforcement point. Connection between
ESL and end applications is SOAP over HTTPS. Security is enforced in the form of 2 way SSL
auth. Exception to this is QL/LINKS Mainframe applications where the connection is over WMQ.
Each datacenter has 2 Datapower appliances which are Self-Load Balanced using AO feature.
Datapower communicates with IIB over WMQ.
WMQ/IIB is configured as highly available clustered environment. WMQ hosts multi instance
queue managers and IIB hosts multi instance Integrations nodes. All transformation and
routing happen in IIB. Datapower and applications outside ESL always communicate with
Gateway qmgr.
WSRR is used for service Governance where business services are created and mediation
policies are attached. These policies are enforced in Datapower for service providers and service
consumers.
This is Webservices and Cobol/WMQ based integration. The project deals with retrieval of
patient information, updates of patient information and transfer of patient between LOB’s. Role
of ESL is to connect consumers RxConnect, Specialty and PBM with service providers EPH,
RxConnect, Specialty and PBM. EPH is central repository of patient information. End applications
RxConnect, Specialty and PBM act as both consumers and service providers. IIB plays major
role in transformation of messages between consumers and providers and aggregation of
responses from multiple providers using Aggregation nodes. It also involves AllergyCode cross
reference mapping where data is stored persistently in DB2 database and ExtremeScale built in
caching is used for better performance. Message exchange between ESL and QL/LINKS
application over MQ is in Cobol fixed length format which is handled using DFDL parser. IIB is
also used to enforce WSRR mediation outage policy for LINKS as service provider which
communicates over MQ.
Extensive performance test has been conducted using HP LoadRunner. The system is designed
to support 200 tps. This includes 5% growth every year for next 5 years. JMeter is used to do

Tire Battery Corporation (TBC) runs chain of retail automotive service centres. The Company's
retail operations include Company-operated tire and automotive service centers under the "Tire
Kingdom", "Merchant's Tire & Auto Centers" and "National Tire & Battery" brands and
franchised stores under the "Big O Tires" brand. TBC markets on a wholesale basis to regional
tire chains and distributors serving independent tire dealers throughout the United States,
Canada, and Mexico. TBC markets and sells nine proprietary brands of tires through North
America.
Integration of these retails stores plays vital role in TBC’s business. Scope of EAI in this project
is to integrate front end UI with SAP system.

UI is based on Adobe Air which interacts with backend SAP system through middle layer which
has Websphere Data Power and Websphere Message Broker. This is Webservices based
integration using SOAP protocol. SAP exposes its functional modules as Webservices to be
integrated with front end UI.
Webservice requests from UI are intercepted by Data Power for authentication and
authorization using LDAP. WMB is the service bus which receives request from UI through Data
Power and interacts with SAP system through Data Power which injects LTPA token. In short
Data Power acts as security gateway. It also includes interaction with JDE database using SQL
and WHI (third party service) using Webservice calls. Some of the modules are integration with
SAP using RFC calls (SAP Adapter nodes).
SOA or Integration layer makes use of Extreme Scale caching for better performance and
avoid SAP calls. Caching includes 2 levels: a) Static caching of data which does not change
frequently and b) Dynamic or Predictive caching of data which changes frequently. RTC is used
