Using ITCAM for SOA to monitor BPM Systems: Part 2: How ITCAM for SOA monitors service-oriented architectures
The metrics collected by ITCAM for SOA are gathered from SCA messages, in this
article, we will analyze the metrics, compare and map metrics to the WebSphere
Dynamic Process Edition (WDPE) and
runtime behaviors. We also explain how to read, understand and analysis the metrics, and how to aware the WDPE applications from the metrics.

Use ARM to monitor SCA invocations in IBM WebSphere Process Server
V6.1, Part 2: Understand SCA invocation patterns and debug asynchronous scenarios
In Part 1 of this series, you learned about Application Response Measurement
(ARM) and debugging synchronous scenarios using IBM Tivoli Composite Management for
Response Time Tracking. Now get an introduction to the multiple Service Component
Architecture (SCA) invocation patterns and the related ARM observation points to
better understand the relationship between the ARM transaction and SCA invocation.
This article, Part 2 of the series, also shows some examples of how to debug
asynchronous scenarios using Tivoli Composite Management for Response Time Tracking.

Use ARM to monitor SCA invocations in IBM WebSphere Process Server
V6.1, Part 1: Debug SCA invocations using IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for
Response Time Tracking
This two-part series shows you how to monitor Service Component Architecture
(SCA) invocations using the Application Response Measurement (ARM) standard in IBM
WebSphere Process Server V6.1. You can use an ARM implementation, such as IBM Tivoli
Composite Application Manager for Response Time Tracking, to generate a graphic view
of SCA invocations. This article, Part 1 of the series, starts by describing ARM and
showing you how to debug synchronous scenarios using Tivoli Composite Application
Manager for Response Time Tracking. In Part 2, you get an introduction to SCA
invocation patterns and learn how to debug asynchronous scenarios.

Software as a Service: Web service mediation patterns for dynamic routing of multiple tenant requests using WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances
Explore one of three IBM middleware based mediation patterns for rapid
enablement of multi-tenancy for existing Web services implementations. This first
pattern demo uses WebSphere DataPower Appliances.
$@!LessThan!@$!--
The remaining two patterns will show the
use of WebSphere Business Services Fabric and WebSphere Enterprise Services Bus.--$@!GreaterThan!@$
In this demo, a scenario shows where multi-tenancy is enabled for a existing single tenant credit
check service by introducing a WebSphere DataPower Appliance based mediation pattern layer. This pattern layer uses a WebSphere DataPower Appliance Web service proxy and simple XSL routing policies to route service invocations from a tenant bank's user to endpoints dedicated to that tenant. The proxy also authenticates and authorizes users against policies configured in Tivoli Access Manager.

Software as a Service: Simplified tenant provisioning using IBM entry level middleware
This demo focuses on the ease of provisioning new tenant banks in a sample
banking application through the use of Apache ANT scripts and a few portlets for the
administrator roles. A new WebSphere Application Server Community Edition virtual
host and security realm are provisioned through ANT scripts invoked from a new
service provider administrator portlet. A new openLDAP user database is created and
new LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) files imported through another ANT script. The portal for the new tenant bank is customized through a tenant administrator portlet by modifying style sheets, providing tenant specific images and uploading and deploying these to the running application. Custom fields are added to other portlets which use XML columns defined in DB2 Express-C V9 through simple configuration steps in a tenant administrator portlet.

Comment lines: Jason McGee: Dynamic middleware and the six attributes of virtualized application serving environments
Applying virtualization and automation is one way to significantly ease the burden of managing a modern, complex application server environment made up of many applications spread across a large number of machines. When evaluating virtualization for such environments, it is important to look for technologies and products that address the realities of your IT environment head on. Here are six key attributes you should look for in a solution to make sure it really addresses the complexities of your environment.

Machine learning in network systems
Machine learning is key to building autonomic systems. In this article, the authors present a new network simulator that captures real-world complexities, then introduce learning-based methods for efficient job routing and CPU scheduling in the networks they simulate. Their experimental results show that machine-learning methods outperform heuristic and hand-coded approaches, and that adaptive system components can work better together than they do individually.

Understand the autonomic manager concept
The autonomic computing reference architecture lays out the framework for building an autonomic computing system. As its central theme, the architecture defines a control loop that handles events within an autonomic system. The control loop is manifested within an autonomic manager. This article presents both a basic scenario of a working autonomic manager and a more detailed example using a simple thermostat application from the Emerging Technologies Toolkit along with examples of IBM software applications that have autonomic functionality.

An autonomic computing roadmap
If autonomic computing is the process of making computers behave like living, sentient creatures, then you, as a developer, are the doctor who makes sure your products and systems are performing properly. If there's an area of concern, you must diagnose it and make sure it has what it needs to function properly. This article gives you a roadmap to begin integrating autonomic computing concepts into your products. (Note: Updated for Release 2 of the IBM Autonomic Computing Toolkit.)
