| Automating endpoint WSDL creation with WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
The recommended approach to defining a web service in WSDL is to split the definition across three files: interface, binding, and endpoint. While this approach lets you maintain a clean separation between the elements being defined, it requires you to either update the endpoint WSDL document, or create new endpoint WSDL documents as your service moves from one environment
(development, test, staging, production) to another. Generally speaking, the only difference between each of the environment-specific endpoint WSDLs is the value of the location attribute on the soap:address element. This article shows you how to use a WSRR plug-in to automate the creation of environment-specific endpoint WSDLs within WebSphere Service Registry and Repository.

IBM WebSphere Application Server JCA connection manager provides connection pooling. It enables administrators to establish a pool of connections that can be used by applications running on an application server. If not used appropriately, these connections will exhaust the connection pool and limit scalability. This article provides insights into application usage scenarios that could limit efficient utilization of JCA connections.

| Monitoring the JVM server in CICS with IBM Support Assistant
Memory leaks in Java programs can be as critical as they are in programs written in other languages. While Java has a Garbage Collector, it sometimes cannot remove objects because
they are still referenced. Therefore memory leaks require you to first, locate them, and second, identify the class responsible.
This article uses a sample Java program running in the CICS JVM server to show you how to locate a memory leak and identify the class responsible.

| BPM Voices: Evaluating BPM applications: BPM design reviews and Rubik's
Cubes
In this column, I'll focus on the objectives of
performing BPM design reviews, the key preparation steps for an effective
review, and an overview of the key dimensions to assess as part of a
BPM solution. I'll introduce the basic covenants for how
a BPM design review should be conducted and offer some suggestions on
where clients should focus in the process. In addition, we'll take a
direct look at the IBM BPM playback methodology, because I believe the
convergence of a design review strategy with IBM's playback approach is
related to developing optimized BPM solutions. So how does all this relate to
Rubik's Cubes? Read on...

| BPM Voices: Insight at the edge
In the world of mobile, cloud and APIs, how do you assert
control at the edge of the enterprise, the boundary between the unpredictable
external environment and the internal managed systems? And, perhaps even more
importantly, how do you gain insight into customer behavior and preferences so
that you can advance the customer relationship with every action you take?
Resolving such questions is dependent on "insight at the edge" - the idea
that by applying service-oriented principles to interactions between external
systems of engagement and internal systems of record, you not only protect
against undesired external influences, but can tap into the stream of
consciousness that already flows through the business.

| Using dynamic domains for flexible rule authoring in WebSphere Operational
Decision Management
Ensuring rule accuracy is an important part of rule development in
WebSphere Operational Decision Management. This article demonstrates how a
dynamic domain populated from a Microsoft Excel file can be used to reduce inaccuracies
when authoring rules. Using domains also eliminates dependencies on IT support
for code changes because business users can extend the set of values in the
domain by simple edits to the spreadsheet in the Decision Center. Further,
because adding a domain value does not result in changes to service contracts,
redeployment of rule services is not necessary.
