This report presents to all readers what the author have researched as well as the design and development of an industrial sponsored project, generic mapper for heterogeneous data formats used in a banking environment. Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is an integration framework which enables integration of “best” application suited for each individual business requirements across the enterprise. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an architecture approach that encourages building common and reusable “services” on top of business functions offered by specific backend Host systems. TIBCO ActiveMatrix® is a service platform for heterogeneous SOA. It gives enterprises a simpler and more productive way to deliver service-oriented applications. With the basic resources from the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™ software, the initial design to the prototype using the file poller and file parser adaptor has been discussed. The final design along with the implementation of additional adaptors like the xml parser, and the smartmapper wizard from BusinessWorks SmartMapper™ plugin, are also documented. That also describe the development of the mapper prototype with cross referencing ability with a conversion module of XML to Fixed Format File and vice versa that reside in the system.
