Kofax Reporting Administrator's Guide

IBM WebSphere MQ or MSMQ
Customers can use message queues as the transport mechanism between sites. Alternatively,

they can rely on HTTP transport, or ESB transport.

WSA Receiver (central site)
This component runs in the central site as a Windows service, on one or more computers.

WSA receiver takes data from local WSA and stores it, until ETL agent picks it up.

ESB (central site)
This component receives data from remote ESB and makes it available for the ETL agent.

ETL Agent
The ETL agent (extract/transform/load) runs in the central site. It retrieves Kofax application

data from the central WSA or central ESB and stores it in the staging database. In off-peak

times, ETL agent transforms the data from the staging database and stores it into data

warehouse.

Staging Database
This central database (SQL Server or Oracle) temporarily stores the reporting data from Kofax

applications.

Data Warehouse
Reporting data are permanently stored in the data warehouse.
