Scatter gather pattern

[srivera]

Does SnapLogic support some EAI patterns like Scatter-Gather? If so, where can I find them.

Thanks

Can you explain what you are trying to do?

Call multiple RESTful API currently and then join all the results back together for 1 return document.

customer Info (input)

• Call API 1 with customer info
• Call API 2 with customer info or subset
• Call API N with customer info
• Wait for all to return
• Gather all results together
• return 1 merged document to caller

Scatter-Gather

I just did something like this but with multiple DB SELECT queries. I used an N-way copy to copy the data out to each SELECT with an N-way JOIN/merge snap on the return side to combine the results into a single document. It should work conceptually with multiple REST GETs in place of the DB SELECTs.
