16		-* Event streaming and webervices are mainly used to communicate between systems across models.
17		-* To allow communication between systems in different models using event streaming, it is needed to transform topics.
18		-* Communication between systems in different models can also directly be achieved using web services.
19		-* For clarity purposes, it is advised to give the systems that are the same across models the same name, as well as the name of the other model in which the system is present.
	16	+* Model - the integration model of a client that runs on a specific cloud slot of eMagiz
	17	+* Multi-model - several integration models of a single client

22	22
23	23	At the moment, there are two most frequently used ways to provide communication between systems in a multi-model environment. These concern event streaming and webservices. The processes of sharing data across systems in a multi-model environment using these concepts will be discussed in this microlearning, including best practices.

31		-To allow communication between systems in different models using event streaming, it is needed to transform topics. The reason for this, is that it is not possible to retrieve data from a topic existent in one model through a different model. So, the topic present in model A cannot be immediately accessed by systems present in model B. To ensure that systems in model B can use the data on the topic in model A, the topic needs to be transformed. By transforming the topic, all systems in model B can access the transformed topic.

	30	+The first option is to decide the alignment of the data models between both models. Whenever data from the first model is transferred to the second model, and the topic is considered input for other systems and integrations in that other model, the data needs to be transformed to the common data model of that second model. THis way, the topic can be exposed to any system and any pattern in the second model. The picture below denotes this situation. These are the specific considerations when implementing this approach:
	31	+ 1. Leverage the credentials of the first eMagiz model in the second model
	32	+ 2. Create clear systems with clear names and ensure to align the message type names

The reason for this, is that it is not possible to retrieve data from a topic existent in one model through a different model.

32	32	To ensure that the topic from model A can be transformed, model B needs credentials from model A. So, to allow for this pattern, credentials have to be shared between models.
33	33	An advantage of this pattern is that there is no dependency across models. If the system in model A breaks down, the system in model B can still work. A disadvantage of this pattern is that there may be struggles with the setup, since no direct accessibility can be achieved. Moreover, as mentioned above, credentials have to be shared, which may be a threat to the security.
