| Comment lines: Using an adapter service pattern to build a more flexible, low maintenance ESB
Integrating multiple systems in a point to point manner can be very time
consuming and expensive to maintain. One common approach to resolve this issue
is to introduce an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), which replaces the point to
point approach with a single, centralized place to integrate systems, and does
so in a service-oriented manner. However, if done incorrectly, this can still
create maintenance headaches. Here is a look at a pattern that can “future
proof” your integration work, allowing for the upgrading or replacement of legacy systems without excessive additional integration work.

| Integrating WebSphere eXtreme Scale transactions with other transactions
IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale is a powerful product for scalable
high-speed storing and processing of data. WebSphere eXtreme Scale itself is
transactional but is often used with other software products that are also
transactional. Integrating these transactions, especially integrating
WebSphere eXtreme Scale into an XA (global) transaction, can be far from
trivial. This article explains two techniques for integrating WebSphere
eXtreme Scale and other transactional products so that work for all can be
reliably committed in a single transaction that follows ACID principles.
Sample code for these techniques is provided, including using the new resource adapter for IBM WebSphere Application Server that enables WebSphere eXtreme Scale to participate in a global (XA) transaction.

| Create and customize virtual application patterns
Platform as a Service virtual application patterns are realized by supporting a
combination of application-centric deployment models, virtual applications (consisting
of individual components and policies), the infrastructure and middleware they employ,
and workload-specific content -- extensions or "plug-ins" that define components,
links, and policies used to describe and deploy virtual application patterns, such as
those usable on both the IBM SmartCloud Enterprise cloud and IBM PureSystems. This
article explains how to get started with the IBM Workload Plug-in Development Kit and
on your way to creating and customizing virtual application patterns.

| Design a virtual system pattern
Virtual system patterns in IBM PureApplication System enable fast and repeatable
deployments of systems from the virtual machine up to the application. With a virtual system pattern, manual tasks that are needed to bring up your entire topology can be fully automated, which allows an application to be deployed in minutes as opposed to hours or days. Pattern-oriented deployment of middleware eliminates bugs introduced by error-prone, manual configuration processes and allows best practices to be baked into patterns, thereby accelerating and optimizing deployment of solutions. In this article, the authors highlight key points to review when designing and developing a virtual system pattern.

| Manage the topology with virtual system patterns
In the IBM PureApplication System environment, a virtual system pattern is the critical element that allows a user to rapidly set up and manage the cloud middleware topology; a virtual system pattern describes a middleware topology and employs the tools to automatically build that topology in the cloud. IBM PureApplication System virtual system patterns are the captured essence of years of infrastructure-management experience and best practices. Virtual system patterns encapsulate repeatable topology definitions based on various middleware images and runtime configurations; they give you control over the middleware landscape being deployed. In this article, the authors introduce you to virtual system patterns and their place in the ecosystem, describe their components and functions, and provide a basic look at how to create and use a virtual system pattern.

The 7.1.1 release of IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale introduces an additional in-memory model for elastic caching called IBM eXtremeMemory, which enables you to utilize the system memory outside of the Java heap as elastic cache. This allows for smaller Java heap sizes of the WebSphere eXtreme Scale containers and minimizes the effects of garbage collection pauses on transaction response times. Since eXtremeMemory is outside of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) environment, a new transport called IBM eXtremeIO was developed to facilitate fault tolerance of the eXtremeMemory elastic cache. eXtremeIO enables efficient memory to memory replication between WebSphere eXtreme Scale containers. This article provides an overview of the eXtremeMemory and eXtremeIO features.

| BPM Voices: Synchronicity: An agile approach to business process
management
Perhaps the most difficult aspect of business process management is the ability to quickly develop
business processes. With traditional SOA-based BPM solutions, the skills
and development needed to implement even simple processes
limits the ability to respond quickly to changes. Pair this with a lack of
collaboration and shared understanding between business and IT
stakeholders and you can see why many BPM projects get mired in prolonged development
cycles. However, recent changes in this area, including emerging solutions
such as
IBM Business Process Manager, support a more agile
approach to BPM process discovery and development, reducing the time
to market and ensuring a tighter alignment between business and IT. Using
tools and techniques such as Blueworks Live,
process discovery workshops, and iterative BPM development, IT
and business can work together to design solutions. This approach
helps to ensure that requirements are addressed during design and development
instead of the traditional approach where business hands off requirements
to IT with the hope that the final solution meets the requirements. In
this column, we'll talk about these BPM challenges and discuss how
to apply an agile BPM approach to address them.

| Associating WebSphere Lombardi V7.2 attributes with users defined in
OpenLDAP and routing tasks
This article demonstrates a design pattern using WebSphere Lombardi attributes
along with users defined in an OpenLDAP server for activities such as decision making or routing.
If user attributes (such as language) are defined in an LDAP server and used for routine activities,
such as routing in WebSphere Lombardi, there is some cost involved in querying the attributes using
a JNDI API from an LDAP server. The recommended design pattern can help improve performance and
can be adopted without using the User Synchronization option in WebSphere Lombardi.
