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.

WebSphere Process Sever throughput management, Part 2
The solution architect is frequently required to design solutions that
integrate disparate endpoint systems to exhibit varying non-functional
capabilities. This 2-part series presents approaches on handling endpoint
system challenges related to throughput management. One such integration
challenge is when a target endpoint system cannot process high volumes of
concurrent asynchronous messages. This article illustrates how the underlying
capabilities provided by WebSphere Process Server can be leveraged to handle
this integration challenge.

Error handling in WebSphere Process Server, Part 1: Developing an error handling strategy
With the emergence of service oriented solutions, we've seen a sharp rise in developer productivity. Developers are empowered with a new found freedom of service construction and reuse.
However, with this freedom comes an increased exposure to inconsistent service definitions. These inconsistencies expose weaknesses in error handling and system recovery across the solution.
Along with the proper governance controls, IT organizations need to define and enforce the proper error handling strategies tailored for solution recovery. This article introduces you to error handling
strategies and highlights key concepts and objectives for developing a strategy and
the subsequent project standards. Part 1 of this article series introduces the topic
of error handling strategies and highlights key concepts and objectives for developing
a strategy.

IBM SOA Foundation product integration: Managing your WebSphere-based SOA solution
As more companies are putting service oriented solutions -- including a portfolio of services -- into production, the role of managing of these solutions becomes increasingly important. This ranges from monitoring individual services with respect to their associated service level agreements and the discovery of ”rogue” services that do not follow established protocols, all the way to the active management of an entire environment of applications, servers, and the networks that connect them. This part of our series on integrating products of the IBM SOA Foundation looks at how to manage a WebSphere-based SOA solution with IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA.
