1.1.2 Who Can Use LANSA Composer?
LANSA Composer is designed to be used by business analysts to design and implement solutions to integration problems. It is not necessary to write program code to use Composer in solutions that involve standard transport and transformation activities. The implementation of the transport and transformation activities and the orchestration of them in business processes is all accomplished using highly-visual graphical interfaces.
LANSA Composer can, however, be extended to encompass custom business processing. Doing so will require Activity processes to be written to encapsulate the custom processing. Once these are defined in Composer as Activities, they are orchestrated in the same way as supplied transport activities and transformations.
So, LANSA Composer lends itself well to an environment in which the implementation of the custom business processing can be delegated to a services development group, while the combination and orchestration of the Activities is performed by business analysts.
