IBM® App Connect Enterprise provides a LoopBackRequest node, which enables you to issue synchronous requests to backend data sources by using LoopBack® connectors such as MongoDB, Cloudant®, or PostgreSQL.
In this article, we provide detailed information on the installation and configuration of the required LoopBack® connectors for use with IBM® App Connect Enterprise in container-based deployment in Cloud Pak for Integration. We will primarily cover Cloudant and CouchDB databases; however, a similar technique can be applied to other databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL.
