Periodic Execution of Integration Process¶

What you'll build¶

This tutorial demonstrates how you can schedule a task (using the default implementation) to inject an XML message to the Micro Integrator and to print the message in the logs of the server.

Let's get started!¶

Step 1: Set up the workspace¶

Download the relevant WSO2 Integration Studio based on your operating system. The path to the extracted/installed folder is referred to as MI_TOOLING_HOME throughout this tutorial.

Step 2: Develop the integration artifacts¶

Follow the instructions given in this section to create and configure the required artifacts.

Creating the Config project¶

To create a solution consisting of a Config project and a Composite Application project:

Open WSO2 Integration Studio.
Go to Integration and click Create Integration Project.
Enter ScheduleDefaultTask as the project name. Be sure to select the following check boxes so that the relevant projects will be created.
- Create Composite Application Project
Click Finish.
The created projects are saved in the Project Explorer.

Creating the Sequence¶

In the Project Explorer, right click the ScheduleDefaultTask project, and click New → Sequence.
Click Create New Sequence and click Next.
Enter InjectXMLSequence as the sequence name and click Finish.
Drag and drop a Log mediator and a Drop mediator from the Mediators Palette.

Click the Log mediator and enter the following details in the Properties section.

Log Category: INFO
Log Level: CUSTOM

Add a new property with the following details:

Property	Description
Property Name	City
Value Type	EXPRESSION
Expression	//city

Shown below is the complete source configuration of the Sequence (i.e., the InjectXMLSequence.xml file).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sequence name="InjectXMLSequence" trace="disable" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
   <log level="custom">
       <property expression="//city" name="City"/>
   </log>
   <drop/>
</sequence>

Creating the Scheduled Task¶

Right click the ScheduleDefaultTask project and click New → Scheduled Task.
Select Create a New Scheduled Task Artifact and click Next.
Enter the following details and click Next:
- Task Name: InjectXMLTask
- Count: -1
- Interval (in seconds): 5
In the Form View of the InjectXMLTask task, click Task Implementation Properties.
1. Enter the following parameters:
  - injectTo: sequence
  - sequenceName: InjectXMLSequence
2. Select XML as the Parameter Type of the message parameter, and enter the following as the XML message in the Value/Expression field and click OK.
```
<request xmlns="">
   <location>
       <city>London</city>
       <country>UK</country>
   </location>
</request>
```

Shown below is the complete source configuration of the scheduled task.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<task class="org.apache.synapse.startup.tasks.MessageInjector" group="synapse.simple.quartz" name="InjectXMLTask" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
   <trigger interval="5"/>
   <property name="injectTo" value="sequence" xmlns:task="http://www.wso2.org/products/wso2commons/tasks"/>
   <property name="sequenceName" value="InjectXMLSequence" xmlns:task="http://www.wso2.org/products/wso2commons/tasks"/>
   <property name="message" xmlns:task="http://www.wso2.org/products/wso2commons/tasks">
       <request xmlns="">
           <location>
               <city>London</city>
               <country>UK</country>
           </location>
       </request>
   </property>
</task>

Step 3: Package the artifacts¶

Package the artifacts in your composite application project (SampleServicesCompositeApplication project) to be able to deploy the artifacts in the server.

Open the pom.xml file in the composite application project POM editor.
Ensure that the relevant artifacts are selected in the POM file.
Save the project.

Step 4: Build and run the artifacts¶

To test the artifacts, deploy the packaged artifacts in the embedded Micro Integrator:

Right-click the composite application project and click Export Project Artifacts and Run.
In the dialog that opens, select the artifacts that you want to deploy.
Click Finish. The artifacts will be deployed in the embedded Micro Integrator and the server will start. See the startup log in the Console tab.

Step 5: Test the use case¶

You will view the XML message you injected getting printed in the logs of the Micro Integrator every 5 seconds.
