Extension III: Enterprise Service Bus
Several Matrix42 products and components use a common communication architecture based on an enterprise service bus. This allows an efficient and fast communication between the UUX for SUEM (EAP), Empirum, Silverback and EgoSecure. Also Matrix42 Remote Assitnace uses the Service Bus to communicate with the EAP/ESM. The goal is that the entire communication between the core product parts will take place over it in order to also enable hybrid installations, (e.g. Empirum and EgoSecure local, Silverback and the Enterprise Automation Platform in the Cloud).
Azure Service Bus for Cloud or RabbitMQ for on-premise installations are currently supported as Service Bus. Review the documentation for the respective installation or configuration in the corresponding download.

- Fixed issue with to many false detections of offline nodes results in to many tasks.
Version 2.7.4
- Platform information in Software Package Preview updated to new ESB based values.
- Processing rules allow the selective handling of data retrieved via ESB: The first rule is for Firescope and allows to define values which will only be overwritten when empty in the EAP.
- New identifiers for objects based on the unique ID in the source system or the unique ID in the EAP. This allows faster and more reliable matching.
- ObjectID – unique Id in EAP
- PlatformObjectID – unique ID in core system & node information (Header “From”: Name/Node)
- Enhanced performance on ESB message consumption.
- ESB Handlers allow processing requests via ESB messages. Firesope uses this to retrieve type and schema information before updating objects.
- Empirum sends the heartbeat response with 21.0.3 (leftest hotfix) and 22.0 onwards. With 22.0 it is also possible to provide a display name for easy identification of the node.
