Designing an Integration Architecture

Designing an Integration Architecture Without a Template

Create a blank architecture and drag diagram elements to the blank architecture.

1. On the Design Center page, click + in the upper left corner.
2. Enter the architecture name, select No template, select the deployment environment, describe the architecture, and click OK.

   Before creating an integration architecture, check the solution. If the solution is not the one for which you want to design the integration architecture, select the right solution from the drop-down list in the upper left corner.

3. Drag diagram elements to the blank architecture to start architecture design. You can click Recommended Architecture in the lower right corner to search for a reference architecture.

Designing an Integration Architecture Using a Template from the Solution Acceleration Field

The solution acceleration field provides architecture templates for different industries and scenarios. You can search for the right template from the solution acceleration field and then reference the architecture to design your integration architecture.

1. On the Design Center page, click + in the upper left corner.
2. Enter the architecture name and select Architecture template from solution acceleration field.
3. In the Select Template field, enter a keyword to search for the required template, for example, Office. Select the right template and click OK. You can also click Operation next to the architecture and select View Details from the drop-down list to go to the architecture details page and ensure that the architecture is the one you want to reference.
   After an architecture is created, you can click Recommendation to search for another architecture.

4. Modify the referenced template that is automatically loaded and then save the template.

Creating an Integration Architecture Using an Existing Architecture

You can copy an architecture from a specified solution in the workspace or from another workspace.

1. On the Design Center page, click + in the upper left corner.
2. Select Existing architecture, select the workspace, solution, integration architecture, and deployment architecture (optional), enter the architecture name and description, and click OK.

3. If the architecture to be copied is in the same workspace and solution, click Operation next to the solution name in the upper left corner and select Copy from the drop-down list.

   You can also reference the integration architecture in another workspace. For details, see Designing an Integrated Architecture on HaydnCSF.

Multi-Base Adaptation

The Design Center allows you to select more than one base and use diagram elements of different bases to design the architectures. If you select multiple bases, services are filtered based on the bases that match the created solution and architecture, and differences between multiple bases are identified during automatic deployment. If there is no base you need, create an architecture and select the desired base when you create a solution.

As shown in the following figure, the deployment environment is Huawei Cloud Stack Online (HCS Online), and only diagram elements of the HCS Online base are displayed for integration architecture design.
