The app revolution
Apps are everywhereThe quantity and usefulness of
web and mobile apps has led to
an “app revolution” among
consumers and businesses alike.
Experience mattersCustomers and employees now
expect a delightful and
seamless experience across all
interactions with a business.
Cloud makes it possibleApps today can be stitched
together quickly with pre-built
assets. Cloud makes the API
economy possible.
Fundamentally changing the way we interact with technology.

USE CASE DESCRIPTION
The use case demonstrates how to access an IBM i program from a
web app.
The original program is an RPG program that allows to get the reseller
list using the area code.
We have implemented two different use cases, in order to show how to
integrate Bluemix Web App with an RPG program behind the firewall:
1.In the first case, using the WebSphere Application Server Liberty
Profile, we have exposed a REST service which calls, via IBM i
Toolbox library, the RPG program running on V7R1. The front-end
application is on Bluemix, using “Liberty for Java and it consumes the
REST service exposed via Internet.
2.In the second case, using Cast Iron Live we have exposed an API
that calls a REST service behind the firewall, through the Cast Iron
Secure Connector. The Cloud Integration Service on Bluemix,
consumes the REST service, leveraging Cast Iron Live. The front-end
application is on Bluemix using “Node.js”.
Case 1
Enrich an application

with REST Services
What you need
• IBM i V7R1 + Toolbox for Java and JTOpen
• Bluemix app WAS Liberty
• Server WAS Liberty Profile v8.5
• Exspose the REST service via firewall

1. Install Cast Iron agent on the
machine exposing the rest service
and connect it to the Cast Iron
Cloud service
2. Model the orchestrationto to
connect and map rest api/data
across the two endpoints ( Cast
Iron Cloud and Ubuntu node )
3. Export orchestration file and deploy
it to Cast Iron Cloud service
Integrate on-prem data in a Bluemix application (1/2)

1. Develop the application requiring to access
on-prem data
2. Create Cloud integration add-on linking it to
the orchestration artifact previously
deployed on the Cast Iron Cloud service
3. Bind the application to the cloud integration
add-on
4. Test/run the applicaiton
5. (Optionally) updated orchestration plan
could be injected later on (no application
