Customizing with WebSphere CloudBurst, Part 4: Extending virtual images in WebSphere CloudBurst
As an IBM WebSphere CloudBurst user, you create patterns and deploy them
into a private cloud. These patterns are complete representations of IBM
WebSphere Application Server environments and can include many different
parts, such as a deployment manager, custom node, administrative agent, and
more. Each of these parts maps to a unique virtual machine, and that virtual
machine is created from a virtual image. Specifically, the virtual machine is
created from an IBM WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition virtual
image, which contains the operating system, WebSphere Application Server, and
IBM HTTP Server, all pre-installed, pre-configured, and pre-tuned. However,
this image does not contain other customizations or content that might be
required for your specific environment. This article describes how easy it is
to customize the WebSphere Application Server Hypervisor Edition virtual image
to meet your application environment’s specific needs.

many automation products available, choosing one can be daunting. This article
looks at a simple integration between IBM WebSphere CloudBurst and IBM
Rational Build Forge to fully automate such a process, and thereby provide a
rapid and repeatable means for delivering applications and application
environments.

Smarter Planet solutions with sensor monitoring, Part
2: Sensor solutions for a smarter supply chain
Smarter Planet initiatives are playing a major role in how we recognize
where technology is shaping our interactions with the world around us. As
described in Part 1, observation and processing of sensor data to extract
insights from the physical world are common to many of these initiatives. Part
2 in this series shows how IBM WebSphere Sensor Events can be used to develop
smarter planet solutions that leverage sensor event processing. This article
presents a pharmaceutical supply chain example that follows an individual
product from manufacturer to customer. You will see how disparate data from
RFID sensors distributed throughout the supply chain feed an interconnected
supplier system, resulting in the entire supply chain becoming intelligent,
and significant value being added through reduced losses from counterfeiting,
theft, product expiration, and recall liability.

Improve the performance of Web 2.0 applications
With the emergence and popularity of Web 2.0 applications, the
way people use the Internet has slowly changed. These Web 2.0 applications
now have many typical aspects, including having a rich
client, a large page size, lots of small items on a page, excessive
JavaScript coding, and so on. Most of these aspects, with the current Browser
technology, can cause
browser-side performance issues, especially in long-distance network
situations. This article analyzes the key facts of typical Web
2.0 applications and describes how they will affect browser-side performance.
It also takes a look at a very important part of browser-side performance --
browser-side cache.

Develop a store locator application using IBM DB2 pureXML and ASP.NET
In this connected and open world, where data flows freely, you can find a
vast amount of useful information on the Web. In the past, if you wanted to find
the location of the nearest store for your favorite retailer, you probably looked
it up in the telephone directory, found the company's phone number, called them,
and asked for directions to their nearest outlet. This method is a recipe for getting lost, wasting time, and a general frustration for the customer. Today, however, this has all changed. Now you simply open your Web browser and visit the company's Web site, where you can usually find a "Store Locator" feature that will help you find the store nearest to you, and conveniently plot it on a map to make it easier to find. In this tutorial, you will learn to develop such a feature using C# ASP.NET and an IBM DB2 database.

Using ITCAM for SOA to monitor BPM Systems: Part 3: Using Service-to-Service topology view
The Service-to-Service topology view exposes the application
invocation transaction and execution path by topology diagram view. This article explains what is the Service-to-Service topology and how to read the Service-to-Service topology. The Service-to-Service topology view is very clear and simple for small systems with few apllications, processes and simple service invocation styles. However, the topology diagram would become very complex if there are many applications in WDPE and the invocations are complex. This article also described some best practices and methodologies to filter and reorganize the Service-to-Service topology to be more understandable.

Ensuring high availability and performance of events delivery with
WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere JDBC Adapter
High availability and performance play an important role in
service-oriented architecture (SOA) integration solutions. There is a common
solution that uses both WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere JDBC Adapter to
integrate database servers. Currently, it is necessary to maintain high
availability, check events’ status, and perform recovery actions in the
process of delivering events when WebSphere Process Server works together with
WebSphere JDBC Adapter. At the same time, it is also necessary to tune
performance of events delivery for efficiency. This article introduces a
scenario and addresses how the JDBC adapter inbound service ensures high
availability and performance of events delivery for that scenario. It will
also recommend some best practices that maintain high availability and tune
performance when WebSphere Process Server works together with WebSphere JDBC
Adapter.

UNIX turns 40
The systems world will shortly be celebrating a major anniversary
milestone. UNIX is turning 40 years old! Most of us know the story of how UNIX
was born, but what about why? Was it born strictly because its founders wanted
to play a computer game on a different platform? And why does UNIX continue to
thrive 15 years after an (in)famous Byte Magazine article that asked, "Is UNIX
dead?"
How has AIX (the only UNIX flavor that has increased its market share through
the years) been a part of the evolution of UNIX and what are the current
trends today in the UNIX arena? These are just some of the topics this article
explores.

Availability and Response Time Management in SOA environment with Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Transactions: A case study
As Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming increasingly important in software integration, an application built on SOA infrastructure is not standalone, instead, it depends on other applications. While some of these depended applications are inside the enterprise, some others are external applications provided by third-party providers. The complexity of the system, as a result, increases the difficulty to quickly sense and isolate application’s availability and response time problem. This article analyzes a typical application availability and response time management case in SOA environment, and presents a solution based on ITCAM for Transactions 7.1.

Energy: Making Smarter Decisions Faster
The restructuring of the energy market is forcing companies to confront
new challenges using flexible, dynamic solutions. With intensified
global competition, it is essential to control costs and seize
opportunities as they arise. Rapidly changing regulations and
innovative technologies create problems that make good planning a
crucial competitive advantage. But traditional manual planning and spreadsheet solutions cannot meet these challenges, and companies that rely on lengthy planning
processes leave potential revenue streams untapped and expose themselves
to greater competitive pressure.
IBM ILOG software helps companies in the energy industry overcome
these challenges and achieve increasing economies by operating
more efficiently, reducing risks and cutting costs with highly effective
planning, scheduling and monitoring systems.

Using Integrated Data Management To Meet Service Level Objectives
We learn how The Great Outdoor Company, a fictional retailer of outdoor products, uses Integrated Data Management solutions by IBM to optimize data management for performance, productivity, and manageability, allowing them to get the most from their data assets and to ensure they can meet service level objectives (SLOs).
We discuss how organizational and infrastructure complexities can negatively affect overall performance and productivity and how an integrated data management approach can help bridge these silos and gaps to provide end-to-end data and data application life cycle support. To illustrate, we focus on how to optimize an enterprise Java application using the Optim Development Studio (formerly Data Studio Developer) and pureQuery Runtime to improve performance, manageability, and security.
We discuss the practical aspects of managing the deployment and maintenance of pureQuery applications. Because an integrated data management approach extends to the problem solving aspect of the data life cycle, we also discuss how DB2 Performance Expert, DB2 Performance Expert Extended Insight Feature (PE/EI), and IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager (ITCAM) can help you pinpoint problems in complex application environments.

Creating an XML electronic forms solution with an Adobe PDF form and IBM DB2 pureXML
The eForms solution described in this article involves three components: an electronic form, a web service, and a database. Because all three speak XML, there is no need for complex data mapping or conversion steps between components. The XML data format used in this example implementation is a very simple structure but you can easily expand the format to meet specific needs or even base the format on one of the many XML-based industry standards for data exchange such as NIEM for government, ACORD for insurance, or FIXML for financial markets. This solution places the collected data into the XML business format at collection time and keeps that format throughout submission and storage for a streamlined process that culminates in the business format being stored in a database where it is available for downstream processes or business analysis. You can follow the steps in this article to build and run the three components needed for this efficient XML electronic forms data collection solution.

Resolving problems unmounting partitions
To cleanly shut down or hot swap storage hardware on a UNIX
or UNIX-like system, you must be able to unmount any file system that
uses storage on that device. However, you can't unmount a file system
if files or directories in that file system are in use. The lsof and
fuser commands can help you identify and terminate the processes
that are using files on or executing from the storage devices that
your system is using. Using these commands simplifies the
traditional detective work associated with finding the processes
that are preventing you from unmounting storage devices, decreasing
frustration, and helping you proceed with critical system
administration tasks.

Using the SBLIM CIM Client efficiently
We all know that templates can save time. In this article, learn how to produce a code skeleton based on
predefined templates using the SBLIM Common Information Model (CIM) Client library.
With CIM, most client-side
applications serve as the CIM clients. They use standard CIM XML-over-HTTP protocol for
communication with the CIM server. It's
inconvenient to encode and decode CIM-XML statements directly.
Fortunately, the SBLIM CIM Client gives you standard APIs that can
facilitate CIM client development. This article also provides tips on how to
add code to your skeleton produced from the templates.

Exposing RESTful services using an Enterprise Service Bus
As REpresentational State Transfer (REST) is becoming more popular, more
non-RESTful service consumers and providers need to be adapted to make use of the REST invocation style. For such an adaptation, the Enterprise Service Bus can provide required mediation to expose non-RESTful services to be invoked RESTfully without the need to make changes to those services. This article shows how you can expose services RESTfully using IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, IBM WebSphere Message Broker and IBM WebSphere DataPower along with examples on how to test this work and sample consumers using different programming platforms.

Use Optim software to manage privatized test data from design to
deployment
With Optim(TM) Development Studio 2.2, built-in integration with Optim
Test Data Management enables developers and database administrators to use
copy-and-paste function to generate an Optim Test Data Management request. The
request can then be used for the efficient creation of a consistent,
right-sized, referentially intact subset of data for testing. This methodology
also enables you to enforce data privacy standards that were originally
defined in the data model that used InfoSphere(TM) Data Architect. Developers
can see which columns are private to ensure that the generated script enforces
the requirement to include the Optim Data Privacy option for de-identifying
private data. This article offers an end-to-end example scenario depicting a
data architect, a database administrator, and a developer completing the steps
needed for the solution.

Automatically update a Web page with dynamic elements
You may know how to hide and display optional JavaServer Faces (JSF)
components by using JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) in
standard JSF components. To do this, you would first need to identify all JSF
components and write them into JSF pages. But, that is impossible to do when you are
developing a Web page that contains dynamic elements that are unknown until
run time. With this article, learn how you can clear old UI components while
automatically updating the dynamic
elements of a Web page, as well as how to use Java
code to add new
elements and put them into their proper spot on a Web page. You'll also learn how to bind
different event handlers to different dynamic elements of a Web page, how to
register a listener listening to changes of server-side data to invoke a page
refresh, and how to use Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) techniques to refresh only the dynamic parts of the Web page.

How to identify unused indexes in DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
During database application development, developers tend to define a large number of
indexes on tables to guarantee that each and every query performs well.
After application development has been
finished and a database has gone into production, the existence of too many indexes turns
out to be a cause for decreased
database performance.
Many indexes mean more work for the database system when executing UPDATE, INSERT, and
DELETE (UID) operations.
In addition, regular maintenance activities like RUNSTATS and REORG also run
considerably longer in cases where many indexes are present.
Therefore, to achieve the best database performance, it is
critical to be able to determine which indexes are necessary for query execution and which
indexes you can
safely drop without impacting query runtimes.
This article explains several methods that a DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows (DB2 LUW) database
administrator (DBA) can use to identify unused and seldom used indexes.

At the heart of the IBM WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance are IBM WebSphere
Application Server patterns. These patterns are pre-built, hardened
configurations that are best practice representations of WebSphere middleware
environments that are ready to be deployed to a private cloud. However, these
shipped patterns will not meet the needs of every deployment. For that reason
the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance provides pattern customization capabilities
that enable you to produce your own highly customized WebSphere middleware
environments. Part 2 of this article series discusses how WebSphere CloudBurst
lets you build custom WebSphere Application Server patterns that represent
your unique topologies and configurations.

Hello again, 3270: Accessing z/OS applications with an iPhone
New technologies and the proliferation of smart wireless devices doesn't
change the reality that applications running on z/OS remain the backbone of
many organizations. But just because an application might be older doesn't
mean it has to look that way or be difficult to access. This article describes
how you can leverage Service Oriented Architecture to bridge this generation
gap and access a z/OS application from an iPhone. This example involves
creating a CICS Web service that is invoked by an iPhone using Web 2.0
concepts to access a CICS/COBOL demo application. Bringing in Google Maps then
makes the iPhone interface to the mainframe application even more
attractive.

Case study: Tuning WebSphere Application Server V7 for performance
IBM WebSphere Application Server supports an ever-growing range of
applications, each with their own unique set of features, requirements, and
services. Just as no two applications will use an application server in
exactly the same way, no single set of tuning parameters will likely provide
the best performance for any two different applications. Most applications
will generally realize some performance improvement from tuning in three core
areas: the JVM, thread pools, and connection pools. This article uses the
Apache DayTrader Peformance Benchmark Sample application to demonstrate what
you can tune and how to go about tuning it, depending on the major server
components and resources that your application uses.

CO2 emissions. ICT providers are trying to find ways to reduce these emissions
through efficiency, cloud computing, or other approaches, but the monitoring
of such systems is also an essential requirement. The Avoiding Mass
Extinctions Engine (AMEE) platform provides a
standard framework for tracking carbon emissions and implements a
variety of calculation methodologies. Investigate some
approaches to calculating ICT emissions that are possible using the AMEE
platform, and check out Ruby scripts that enable the automatic

Build a RESTful Web service using Jersey and Apache Tomcat
Representational state transfer (REST) was introduced in early 2000 by Roy Fielding's doctoral dissertation.
However, in the Java community, it was not standardized until JSR 311(JAX-RS) was
finalized in 2008. The first release of its reference implementation is
even later. In this article, I introduce Jersey, which is the reference
implementation of JSR 311, by describing its essential APIs and annotations. I'll
also show you how you can smoothly transfer from servlet-style services to
RESTful services by integrating Jersey into Apache Tomcat.

Implement a real-time server push in Ajax applications using socket-based RIA
technologies
The new range of advanced user interface (UI) applications requires some
aspect of the "server-push" feature so clients can be notified immediately of
any server-side changes. Unfortunately, the HTTP spec does not address the issue of any
server-side initiated communication, so the server-push has traditionally been
implemented through client-side polling. This technique tends to generate a lot
of unnecessary traffic and non-optimized applications. Thankfully, certain Rich
Internet Application (RIA)
technologies do allow the opening of a dedicated socket channel, with the back-end server
providing an opportunity for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) applications to piggyback on their APIs and
implement a server push. This article explores this technique in a variety of
ways, and helps you understand it well enough to begin your own implementation.

It is endorsed by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). CAM represents a step up from XML schema because it provides even more flexibility in defining both the semantics of an XML document and the business rules associated with the actual data content. Take a broad overview of CAM, including its benefits over the alternatives, in this article.

Enforce basic document structure with XML constraint checking
The ability to specify, check and act upon constraints is vital to
ensuring the overall quality of healthcare information. The Health Level 7
(HL7) Clinical Document Architecture (CDA), described through XML Schema,
allows the specification of constraints through HL7 Templates, which can be
implemented in Schematron. Schematron can be applied through XSLT. This article illustrates software and
hardware solutions for constraint checking in the HL7 CDA. The two
solutions are demonstrated in an SOA that
includes both successful and failing XML Schema and Schematron constraint
checks. The article evaluates the application of constraints in the HL7 CDA
and identifies some categories of constraints that require further investigation.
The outcome of this evaluation shows that the ability to specify, check, and act
upon constraints through Schematron complements XML Schema processing. The two
constraint approaches are very useful and practical, and should therefore be
pursued further.

Developing a Web 2.0 application using the InfoSphere Business Glossary REST API
IBM InfoSphere Business Glossary enables users to create, manage, and share an enterprise vocabulary and classification system.
In version 8.1.1, the Business Glossary team introduced a REST API that makes
glossary content easier to consume by enabling the development of custom applications based on particular needs.
This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to develop a portable, dynamic
read-write widget that uses the IBM InfoSphere
Business Glossary REST API in conjunction with various Web 2.0 technologies.
The widget enables users to find terms, examine the term's details, and make basic edits.
Our goal is for InfoSphere Business Glossary customers to
use the knowledge gained through building this sample widget as inspiration
for using the REST API to create their own custom applications.
This article is intended for software engineers who are familiar with Web 2.0
technologies and product designers who can apply the tools provided here to real world situations.

Using virtual cubes in IBM InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 to combine business
scenarios and to improve performance
Virtual cubes are one of the new Cubing Services features in IBM
InfoSphere(TM) Warehouse 9.7. A virtual cube provides a way to merge different
cubes together to allow a single query destination that returns merged results
from the cubes that compose it. Virtual cubes can be used to drastically
improve the response time of the cube server queries by using efficient data
partitioning for optimum cache utilization (in some cases, over 100 times
better response times). Virtual cubes also offer a solution for combining
results by merging different regional cubes into a country cube. They also
enable merging sales numbers with currency exchange rates to provide a global
view of the business. This article explains how virtual cubes are created, how
they work, and how to use them for InfoSphere Warehouse Cubing Services
9.7.

Linux on POWER: Distribution migration and binary compatibility
considerations
Learn about binary compatibility as it relates to the different
operating environments that run on Linux on POWER. Examine the two Linux on
POWER distributions supported by IBM, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE
LINUX Enterprise Server (SLES), with regard to the binary compatibility
between their respective releases. In general, a smooth transition from the
2.6.9 kernel-based RHEL4 to the 2.6.18 kernel-based RHEL5 is made possible by
the stable Application Binary Interface (ABI) maintained between the releases.
The same can be said when moving from the 2.6.5 kernel-based SLES9 to the
2.6.16 kernel-based SLES10. Learn about new technologies that can provide
performance enhancements for a Linux on POWER application, and follow steps to
ensure binary compatibility across multiple distributions in the future.

ICEfaces and Google Translate
Globalization has had an enormous impact on our lives and cultures. As a
result, translation is becoming an increasingly important tool to enhance
understanding between cultures. Organizations try to use Web technologies with
different languages, scripts, and cultures, and developers search for new
technologies that will help them create efficient applications as quickly as
possible. Fortunately, JavaServer Faces (JSF) simplifies life for application developers, making it
possible for them to focus on the view without needing to know the underlying
markup or scripts. ICEfaces, an integrated Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax)
application framework, enables Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application developers to easily create and deploy thin-client,
rich Internet applications in pure Java code. This tutorial describes how to develop Web applications using
JSF with the translation option.

Developing with real-time Java, Part 2: Improve service quality
Some Java applications fail to provide reasonable quality of
service despite achieving other performance goals, such as average latency or overall
throughput. By introducing pauses or interruptions that aren't under the application's
control, the Java language and runtime system can sometimes be responsible for an
application's inability to meet service-performance metrics. This article, second in a
three-part
series, explains the root causes of delays and interruptions in a JVM and describes techniques you can use to mitigate them so that your applications deliver more consistent service quality.

Evolutionary architecture and emergent design: Language, expressiveness, and design, Part 2
The ability to see and harvest idiomatic patterns is critical for emergent design. Also vitally important to design is code's expressiveness.
In Part 2 of this two-part article, Neal Ford continues discussing the intersection of
expressiveness and patterns, demonstrating these concepts with both idiomatic patterns and
formal design patterns. He recasts more of the classic Gang of Four patterns in dynamic
languages for the JVM to show how more-expressive languages enable you to see design elements obscured by more-opaque languages.

Accessibility in Web 2.0 technology
Accessibility has become a hot topic as increased awareness and growing
requirements demand that applications take into account the needs of all
potential users. Accessibility covers not only the Web application, but document,
desktop application and hardware, and so on. In the Web application domain,
making static Web pages accessible is relatively easy. But for Web 2.0 technology,
dynamic content and fancy visual effects can make accessibility testing very
difficult. This article introduces the WAI-ARIA standard, which is
designed to make future Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) widgets
accessible. The article also covers accessibility
principles in Web 2.0 design and provides several code samples to get you
started.

Reduce online collaboration vulnerabilities
Web 2.0 tools are increasing the possibilities for online collaboration, both in the
business world and in people's personal lives. This increased usage of
collaboration tools equates to increased
risks if applications are not protected against vulnerabilities. Part of that
protection comes from good design and coding techniques that protect against
attacks. The other half of the equation is the contract or Service-Level
Agreement (SLA) that the user has with the service provider. In this article
I'll examine some of the known vulnerabilities and show you how you, as a developer and a
user, can protect yourself.

Explore multithreaded programming in XUL
As you create cross-platform desktop applications using XUL, you also can
enhance your skills with JavaScript, CSS, and even HTML. XUL's cross-platform
capabilities are not a collection of least common denominator features. Instead,
XUL gives you the kind of power that you might expect from a desktop application
toolkit, including access to native threads. You can even access native threads
directly from JavaScript, writing code that executes in parallel. In this article,
you will examine the multithreading capabilities of XUL, and create an application
that uses multiple threads to retrieve data. You will take a classic IO-bound
application, one that accesses multiple remote data sources over the Internet, and
speed it up through multiple threads in XUL. The application will allow users to
view and compare anonymous results of three popular search engines: Google,
Yahoo, and Bing from Microsoft(R).

individuals, companies, and governments are focusing attention on energy and how
we use it. The route to understanding our usage of energy (and therefore carbon)
is to measure and analyze it, to understand the results, and then act on that
information. AMEE is a neutral aggregation platform for all forms of energy and
activity data, and associated carbon models. In this article, you learn how to use the AMEE platform in your applications to deliver a high quality energy management and carbon calculation solution to your clients.

Standards and Web services
Web services are a set of emerging standards that enable interoperable
integration between heterogeneous IT processes and systems. You can think of them as
a new breed of Web application that is self-contained and self-describing, and that
can provide functionality and interoperation ranging from the basic to the most
complicated business and scientific processes. In short, Web services hold the
promise for providing a common standard mechanism for interoperable integration
among disparate systems, and the key to their utility is their standardization. This
common mechanism for delivering a "service" makes them ideal for implementing a
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

solutions. In part 4, we presented a technical challenge on how to enable
multi-tenancy for existing single tenant Web services with little or no code
changes for shorter time to market and lower costs. We presented a mediation
approach for addressing this challenge and introduced three implementation options
using multiple IBM middleware products. In this tutorial, we describe detailed
implementation steps for utilizing WebSphere Enterprise Services Bus for enabling
multi-tenancy for existing Web services.

Evolutionary architecture and emergent design: Language, expressiveness, and design, Part 1
The ability to see and harvest idiomatic patterns is critical for emergent design. Also vitally important to design is code's expressiveness.
In a two-part article, Neal Ford discusses the intersection of expressiveness and patterns, demonstrating these concepts with both idiomatic patterns and formal design patterns. He recasts some of the classic Gang of Four patterns in dynamic languages for the JVM to show how more expressive languages enable you to see design elements obscured by more opaque languages.

Make the most of large drives with GPT and Linux
Once a faraway problem, an important barrier in disk storage is fast
becoming a reality: the venerable master boot record (MBR) partitioning scheme
can't fully handle disks larger than 2TB. With 1TB-hard disks now common and
2TB-disks becoming available, forward-looking individuals are thinking about
alternatives to the MBR partitioning scheme. The heir apparent is the GUID
Partition Table (GPT). Learn how to make sure your Linux system is fully

Creating an Atom feed in PHP
Atom is an Extensible Markup Language (XML) specification that identifies information contained in a Web site. Using Atom, Web developers produce feeds that enable other Web developers (or consumers who use feed readers) to quickly locate and view information of interest on a remote site. Think of it as a Web site's index, available to anyone who wants it. Using PHP, a popular language of choice for most host providers, a Web developer can easily produce an Atom feed that can then be made available to the various feed readers and other Web developers. The ultimate result is a state-of-the-art information solution that enables the Web content to reach a much wider audience.

Create a Flex component
Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) strive to bring
the interactivity, responsiveness, and robustness of traditional desktop
applications to Web-based applications. RIAs are especially important for developers who are hoping to leverage business intelligence (BI) and Web 2.0
approaches to content and delivery. Adobe Flex is an application at the forefront
of RIA-based solutions. A relatively new but fast-growing technology, Flex
leverages the capabilities of Adobe's Flash Player to provide first-rate
graphical presentations that feature highly responsive UIs. Flex ships with many
useful and robust components, but things get more difficult when you need to step
outside the narrow bounds of what Flex provides for you and create
domain-specific functionality. This introductory article provides an in-depth
look at the architecture of the Flex-rendering engine, walking you through the
process of incorporating Flex components into your RIAs and explaining what you
need to know to create new Flex functionality from scratch.

Comment lines by Scott Simmons: Evolving approaches for connectivity and core banking systems
We are witnessing a transition in core banking implementations as banks
move from a tightly-coupled line-of-business application architecture toward
adopting an SOA-based approach to solution implementation. Additionally,
these changes in solution design are being reconciled with an evolution from
an integration-centric approach based on traditional messaging technologies to
a more open service-based architecture based on Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
patterns. This article illustrates some of the ways that banks are
implementing connectivity in this evolution, and describes some of the key patterns that are emerging to support coexistence between current and next generation banking solutions.

Implementing agile development in a waterfall project
An application development team on a large project wanted to move to
agile development, even though the overall project very much followed a
waterfall model. Although there had been discussions to move the entire
project to an agile model, the developers decided to use agile development for
their piece of the project and fit it within the overall waterfall structure.
As a result, the team observed increased quality, improved milestone
deliverables, and better development efficiencies. This success enabled them
to champion the agile idea across the project, involve more and more
stakeholders, and gain support to eventually make all participating teams
agile believers.

Ensure higher availability by making your XA transaction manager resilient
to resource manager failures
Many middleware and database products adhere to the XA protocol to
achieve transactional capabilities while interoperating between middleware and
resource managers. There can be scenarios where the availability of the
transaction managers could be compromised due to failures (such as transient
or long-duration network failures) or non-availability of one of the resource
managers. This article looks at some common error scenarios that could affect
XA transaction availability, ways to help you determine if your transaction
manager will maintain higher availability during failure conditions (and ways
to make sure it does), and some tips about resource managers.

Build Wikipedia query forms with semantic technology
By providing open access to increasing amounts of Linked Data, public SPARQL endpoints boost the growth of the Semantic Web by providing great data for you to use in your applications. As with many other data-driven Web sites out there, you can create a Web page by sending a query to these endpoints and then wrapping the results in HTML tags; the big difference for SPARQL endpoints is the public availability of this new data for your applications. With simple CGI scripting, get data from two different SPARQL endpoints to build applications that answer your user's questions about actors shared between two directors and which musicians have released which albums.

Creating database connections requires users to provide specific
information, including the database vendor, version, and URL information. In
version 2.1, Data Studio Developer and Administrator introduced a simple and
efficient way to manage database connections, allowing users to easily store
and retrieve connection parameters for multiple databases. With the 2.2
release (in which these products have been renamed to Optim(TM)), there have
been additional usability improvements. Support for common connections has
also been added to InfoSphere(TM) Data Architect 7.5.2. This article describes
how to use common connections for greater efficiency in managing database
connection information.

Problem Determination through Defensive Infrastructure Architecture: Part 1: Runtime deployments with queues and ESBs
The widely known "keep it simple strategy" (KISS) is a wise practice to follow
when building out an infrastructure. Application deployments, packaging and
placement requires considerable thought and effort to execute well. However,
sometimes what appears to be a simple implementation can hinder problem
determination leaving a production runtime unstable or, worse, unavailable. What is
simpler for one side of the IT development or operations staff makes troubleshooting
and root cause analysis that much harder because it is difficult to separate out
discrete events or the lack of valuable but missing data. This article looks at some real life examples where "more is actually less" when it comes to KISS.

External application integration with IBM Content Manager through a custom
event handler
IBM Content Manager, Version 8.4.1 supports an event infrastructure that
enables the integration of external applications. A set of message formats is
published for the event messages generated from an event monitor. The general
integration for an external application is made possible by using a custom
event handler. Because the event message informs the custom event handler of
the content operations in the repository, the custom event handler can
interact with external applications based on the content-aware business logic.
This article provides an overview of the event framework and uses an example
e-mail application to illustrate how to write a custom event handler for
external application integration.

Migrating from Oracle 10g to IBM Informix Dynamic Server on Linux, Unix, and Windows
We discuss considerations, and describe a methodology, for migrating from Oracle 10g to the Informix Dynamic Server (IDS). We focus primarily on the basic topic areas of data, applications, and administration, providing information about the differences in features and functionality in areas such as data types, DML, DDL, and Stored Procedures.
Understanding the features and functionality of the two products will better enable your decisions as you develop your migration plan. We provide a migration methodology and discuss the processes for installing and using the IBM Migration Toolkit (MTK) to migrate the database objects and data from Oracle to IDS. We also illustrate, with examples, how to convert stored procedures, functions, and triggers. Application programming and conversion considerations are also discussed. The laboratory examples are performed under Oracle 10g and IDS Version 11.5. However, the processes and examples can also be applied to Oracle 7, 8, and 9i.
