because they are used by different roles (business analysts and integration
developers, respectively), it's possible for the models in one environment to
get out of sync with the models in the other environment. This article looks

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.
