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.

Energy: Making Smarter Decisions Faster
The restructuring of the energy market is forcing companies to confront
new challenges using flexible, dynamic solutions. With intensified
global competition, it is essential to control costs and seize
opportunities as they arise. Rapidly changing regulations and

crucial competitive advantage. But traditional manual planning and spreadsheet solutions cannot meet these challenges, and companies that rely on lengthy planning
processes leave potential revenue streams untapped and expose themselves
to greater competitive pressure.
IBM ILOG software helps companies in the energy industry overcome
these challenges and achieve increasing economies by operating
more efficiently, reducing risks and cutting costs with highly effective
planning, scheduling and monitoring systems.

Exploring the WebSphere Application Server Feature Pack for
SCA: Part 5: Protocol bindings for Service Component Architecture
services
Part 5 of this series on the IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 Feature
Pack for SCA describes the SCA (Service Component Architecture) bindings that
are available for wiring together different SCA components. Bindings define
the transport/protocol access mechanism for SCA services and references,
making it possible for the choice of protocol to be independent from the
application programming interface. The binding types supported by the Feature
Pack for SCA are default, Web services, EJB, and JMS bindings.

Customizing with WebSphere CloudBurst, Part 2: Using WebSphere CloudBurst to customize a WebSphere middleware
environment
At the heart of the IBM WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance are IBM WebSphere
Application Server patterns. These patterns are pre-built, hardened
configurations that are best practice representations of WebSphere middleware
environments that are ready to be deployed to a private cloud. However, these
shipped patterns will not meet the needs of every deployment. For that reason
the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance provides pattern customization capabilities
that enable you to produce your own highly customized WebSphere middleware
environments. Part 2 of this article series discusses how WebSphere CloudBurst
lets you build custom WebSphere Application Server patterns that represent
your unique topologies and configurations.

Case study: Tuning WebSphere Application Server V7 for performance
IBM WebSphere Application Server supports an ever-growing range of
applications, each with their own unique set of features, requirements, and
services. Just as no two applications will use an application server in
exactly the same way, no single set of tuning parameters will likely provide
the best performance for any two different applications. Most applications
will generally realize some performance improvement from tuning in three core
areas: the JVM, thread pools, and connection pools. This article uses the
Apache DayTrader Peformance Benchmark Sample application to demonstrate what
you can tune and how to go about tuning it, depending on the major server
components and resources that your application uses.

Hello again, 3270: Accessing z/OS applications with an iPhone
New technologies and the proliferation of smart wireless devices doesn't
change the reality that applications running on z/OS remain the backbone of
many organizations. But just because an application might be older doesn't
mean it has to look that way or be difficult to access. This article describes
how you can leverage Service Oriented Architecture to bridge this generation
gap and access a z/OS application from an iPhone. This example involves
creating a CICS Web service that is invoked by an iPhone using Web 2.0
concepts to access a CICS/COBOL demo application. Bringing in Google Maps then
makes the iPhone interface to the mainframe application even more
attractive.

Ensure higher availability by making your XA transaction manager resilient
to resource manager failures
Many middleware and database products adhere to the XA protocol to
achieve transactional capabilities while interoperating between middleware and
resource managers. There can be scenarios where the availability of the
transaction managers could be compromised due to failures (such as transient
or long-duration network failures) or non-availability of one of the resource
managers. This article looks at some common error scenarios that could affect
XA transaction availability, ways to help you determine if your transaction
manager will maintain higher availability during failure conditions (and ways
to make sure it does), and some tips about resource managers.

Comment lines by Scott Simmons: Evolving approaches for connectivity and core banking systems
We are witnessing a transition in core banking implementations as banks
move from a tightly-coupled line-of-business application architecture toward
adopting an SOA-based approach to solution implementation. Additionally,
these changes in solution design are being reconciled with an evolution from
an integration-centric approach based on traditional messaging technologies to
a more open service-based architecture based on Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
patterns. This article illustrates some of the ways that banks are
implementing connectivity in this evolution, and describes some of the key patterns that are emerging to support coexistence between current and next generation banking solutions.

Implementing agile development in a waterfall project
An application development team on a large project wanted to move to
agile development, even though the overall project very much followed a
waterfall model. Although there had been discussions to move the entire
project to an agile model, the developers decided to use agile development for
their piece of the project and fit it within the overall waterfall structure.
As a result, the team observed increased quality, improved milestone
deliverables, and better development efficiencies. This success enabled them
to champion the agile idea across the project, involve more and more
stakeholders, and gain support to eventually make all participating teams
agile believers.

Super cluster to the rescue, Part 1: Techniques to achieve extreme application scalability
What if you have an application for which the client load is extreme?
Due to the shear number of clients or client requests, many application severs
will be needed simply to handle the load. The common solution to such a
problem would be to make use of IBM WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment clusters, but what if a cluster could not be made large enough to
handle the required application load?

Using a cache to improve performance for custom policy retrieval from
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository in WebSphere ESB
When developing a custom mediation to retrieve custom metadata, such as
a policy from IBM WebSphere Registry and Repository, the number of requests
can become very large and could dramatically increase the resources needed.
One way to reduce the load and increase response time is to use a cache. This
article shows how you can extend a mediation primitive deployed in WebSphere
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) to add a cache support.

Using the WebSphere MQ messaging provider in WebSphere
Application Server V7, Part 2: Using channel exits
A channel exit is user code that is run at defined points in the life cycle
of an IBM WebSphere MQ channel. There are many potential uses for channel exits,
including auditing, security, compression, conversion, among others. Prior to
WebSphere Application Server V7, channel exits were not fully supported, but now channel exits can be
configured on both connection factories and activation
specifications. This article describes the types of channel exits, their usage
restrictions, and how they can be enabled in application server
and application client environments.

Policy lookup with WebSphere Service Registry and Repository using the policy resolution primitive in WebSphere ESB V6.2
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository enables you to load, change, and retrieve policy documents. Policy lookup uses a new policy resolution primitive in WebSphere ESB V6.2, and it
retrieves policy for a particular service or operation based on the gate conditions built using values from the message, and associates a specific policy with a runtime instance.
This article shows you how to use the policy resolution primitive for policy lookup from WebSphere Service Registry and Repository, and how to control message content and mediation flow using the policy.

Mission:Messaging: Scripted WebSphere MQ key file management for UNIX and Windows
Although the iKeyman GUI makes interactive key management easy,
human-driven processes are time consuming, can be prone to errors, and might
not produce consistent results. Scripts address all of these issues. In
addition, command line tools provide easy access to advanced options, such as
FIPS compatibility and choice of signature algorithm. Whether you have a large
deployment or just a few queue managers, when it comes to key management,
scripts are the key to quality, consistency, repeatability, and
efficiency.

System administration for WebSphere Application Server
V7: Part 5: Business-level applications
Business-level applications, introduced in IBM WebSphere Application Server
V7.0, provide improved management and operational capabilities over standalone Java
EE applications. A business-level application is a single logical application into
which Java EE applications can be grouped, such that a start or stop operation at
the so-called business level would trigger a coordinated start or stop on all member
applications in the group. Business-level applications also provide better
management of shared libraries: shared libraries not contained in a Java EE
application archive can be imported into a WebSphere Application Server
configuration and added to a business-level application, and Java EE applications
added to the same business-level application can be configured to declare a run time
dependency on such shared libraries. This article describes general business-level
application constructs and explains how to leverage this new capability.

Application logging using solidDB, WebSphere Message Broker, and DB2
pureXML
Because of its flexibility and its presence in many application
environments, XML is becoming the preferred log format. In this article,
you'll learn how to easily set up an application logging environment by
bringing the XML features of WebSphere and DB2 together. We first introduce a
simple application logging scenario, then show how to use solidDB for caching
and decoupling the application from the logging infrastructure. WebSphere
Message Queue and WebSphere Message Broker will be used to reliably move the
log messages from the application to DB2, where they can be stored and queried
using the pureXML functionality. To normalize different message formats,
WebSphere Message Broker will also be used to transform log files to other XML
formats prior to storing them into DB2.

Using WebSphere ESB V6.2 as a Web services bridge between isolated IPv6 and IPv4
networks
Transitioning to the IPv6 Internet protocol is inevitable. Migrating systems
and applications from IPv4 to IPv6 will employ multiple techniques and significant
effort over the coming years. Extending legacy services into IPv6 domains will be
required to facilitate the adoption of IPv6 and the development of new enterprise
services. One option, which protects investment in legacy assets, can be to use an
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) capable of protocol translation between IPv4 and IPv6
networks. This article explains how to deploy IBM WebSphere ESB V6.2 as a service bridge
between isolated IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

Cloud computing with Linux
Cloud computing and storage convert physical resources (like processors and
storage) into scalable and shareable resources over the Internet (computing and storage
"as a service"). Although not a new concept, virtualization makes this much more scalable
and efficient through the sharing of physical systems through server virtualization. Cloud
computing gives users access to massive computing and storage resources without their
having to know where those resources are or how they're configured. As you might expect,
Linux plays a huge role. Discover cloud computing, and learn why there's a penguin behind
that silver lining. [And see the new Resource links to the latest developerWorks content on cloud computing. -Ed]

server to the administrative agent server, thereby reducing the administrative
overhead and making administrative tasks easier. The job manager profile enables
a more flexible style of management than was previously available, providing an
asynchronous job submission facility that can be used to manage base application
servers through administrative agents as well as through deployment manager cells.
This article provides an overview of these new profiles and topologies to give a complete picture of the flexibility of the management
options available in WebSphere Application Server V7.

Exploring the Enterprise Service Bus: Part 4: Federated connectivity in the enterprise
Driven by increasingly sophisticated business needs, service-oriented architectures have become more widespread, more mature and more sophisticated.
A key driver of this growing sophistication is the need for multiple business units to cooperate and contribute to the overall business of the enterprise. From a business perspective, the result is generally called
a federation or a federated enterprise. From an IT perspective, the enabler of a federated enterprise is often called a federated ESB, reflecting the role the ESB plays in providing service connectivity in SOA.
But the ESB is just one part of an infrastructure that provides service connectivity in SOA, so it is more appropriate to discuss federated connectivity.
This article describes the principles of federated connectivity and suggests an approach for creating efficient and effective federated topologies in SOA.

Use WebSphere MQ in SOAP over JMS Web services, Part
1: Deploy and configure your Web service
SOAP over Java Message Service (JMS) is an alternative messaging
mechanism to SOAP over HTTP. Using SOAP over JMS for Web services offers more
reliable and scalable messaging support than does SOAP over HTTP. Although JMS
providers may not be interoperable across platforms, you can use SOAP over JMS
inside the enterprise, especially if the enterprise uses Message Oriented
Middleware (MOM). Because IBM WebSphere MQ is one of the most widely used
Messaging engines, this article shows you how to develop, deploy, and test a
sample Web service with SOAP over JMS binding using WebSphere MQ as its
messaging provider. Configurations that are unique to WebSphere MQ or IBM
WebSphere Application Server are specifically addressed.

IBM SOA Foundation product integration: A complete ESB Gateway solution featuring WebSphere DataPower, Tivoli Access
Manager, and WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
Leveraging the concept of a service-oriented architecture usually brings
with it the ability to connect an increasing number of systems within an enterprise
-- but also across enterprises. While enabling a higher degree of automation and
reduced processing time, this also leads to growing concern about managing and
securing the underlying connections between heterogeneous IT systems. This article
describes how to address these concerns by implementing an ESB gateway using three
of the products within the IBM SOA Foundation platform, beginning with integrating
a IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance with IBM Tivoli Access Manager for security,
and then adding IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository for endpoint address
management.

Establish a policy-driven SOA using WebSphere Service Registry and Repository and WebSphere ESB
The WS-Policy specification provides a simple language for expressing
policies supported by Web services. IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
supports loading, changing, and retrieving policy documents, and also supports
using policy attachments to link a given policy with a service. This can then be
used by a run time component, like an Enterprise Service Bus, to retrieve
defined policies for a particular service or operation and act accordingly.
This article shows how you can utilize standard WS-Policy documents stored in a
registry to impact run time behavior in an ESB -- and then change that behavior
on the fly with no code changes or redeployment.

Mission:Messaging: Embracing cultural change in the WebSphere MQ community
The WebSphere MQ community has been using the same best practices for a long
time, and with all of the change that has occurred in the industry, today's
underlying processing model has drifted far from the model that existed when these
best practices were developed. This difference represents significant potential
risk,
but we have an opportunity now, as a community, to close this
gap and bring our best practices in line with the use cases currently employed.

Extending WebSphere DataPower with centralized appliance management
IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances are initially configured using an
interactive Web GUI-based console. Operational interfaces like IBM Tivoli Composite
Application Manager System Edition push XML-encoded rules into one or more
appliances in a cluster. Automated scriptable interfaces and Web services endpoints
also enable rich management. This article presents an alternative approach in which
simple rules are stored outside the appliances and interpreted by them on demand.
Using some common Web and Web services patterns, this approach similarly enables
management when several appliances are in use. By directing message routing rules to
an external, shared storage location, this technique can simplify the task of
appliance management by minimizing changes made to each device, by centralizing more
frequently changed metadata, and by assisting integration with third party tools.
This technique can be generalized beyond routing rules to other uses as well.

Event stream processing with WebSphere eXtreme Scale
IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale exposes a rich set of APIs that enable
access to data residing within a distributed, resilient, and high performance cache. These APIs support a wide range of application programming patterns. One such pattern enables repeated cache updates to be treated as a temporal sequence of events. Applications written to monitor these event sequences are able to correlate and aggregate patterns of lower level events in order to derive real-time insight into business-significant situations. This article describes the implementation of a simple WebSphere eXtreme Scale-based scenario that illustrates the real-time processing of heterogeneous event streams.

Adapting AWStats for IBM WebSphere Portal 6.0.x and virtual portals
The functionality to track site usage is still provided as of IBM® WebSphere® Portal version 6.0.x, but the Tivoli Web Site Analyzer that charts the resulting log files from version 5.1 was deprecated. As a result, the open-source solution AWStats has become increasingly popular with WebSphere Portal customers. The free software product creates extensive charts formatted for browser access with minimal effort; however, it cannot discern between virtual portals and does not display the human-readable part of the site URL string. This white paper explains how to extend AWStats to provide the missing functionality.

Comment lines: Reginaldo Barosa: EGL is ready to help you to adopt Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is a new technology based on JavaScript for writing applications that will run using
Web servers. Web 2.0's performance and interface are excellent because JavaScript runs in
the browser, not on the remote machine that serves the Web page, and sine the
resulting Web page is more responsive with greater flexibility, the user’s
experience can go beyond receiving and submitting a page. This article explains
how you can easily work with Web 2.0 applications using Enterprise Generation
Language (EGL), instead of complex emerging technologies.

Understanding how EJB calls operate in WebSphere Application Server V6.1
Many applications use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) deployed in an IBM
WebSphere Application Server EJB container. Communication to these EJB
components requires the use of concepts like Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP)
communication, JNDI look-ups, and workload management. This interaction can be
complex and is often a black box for many WebSphere users. This article
provides a basic understanding of how EJB communication works in the context of
WebSphere Application Server. Communication into and out of the ORB is
addressed, along with the definitions of basic call patterns and components
involved in making calls to EJB components deployed in the EJB container. A basic understanding of J2EE principles and general
administration knowledge of WebSphere Application Server is assumed.

Software as a Service: Web service mediation patterns for dynamic routing of multiple tenant requests using WebSphere Business Services Fabric
Explore one of three IBM middleware based mediation patterns for rapid enablement of multi-tenancy for existing Web services implementations. The pattern in this demo uses WebSphere Business Services Fabric. The remaining two patterns show the use of WebSphere Enterprise Services Bus and WebSphere DataPower. In the demo, multi-tenancy is enabled for an existing single tenant credit check service by introducing a WebSphere Business Services Fabric based mediation pattern layer. This pattern layer uses a new TenantID assertion defined as an extension to the core WebSphere Business Services Fabric ontology. The assertion acts on properties defined in the Web services context to dynamically route credit check service requests from users for a particular tenant bank to service endpoints dedicated to that bank. The WebSphere Business Services Fabric subscription manager is used to enroll users and organization to the credit check service and the WebSphere Business Services Fabric performance manager is used to view service usage logs for each tenant.

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: Andre Tost: Visualizing SOA, from the first step to Second Life
Those of us involved in SOA projects are constantly looking to find appropriate ways to visualize aspects of the systems we are developing, from component maps and business models to patterns and flows, and even monitoring dashboards. But much of this information is static, and all of it is two-dimentional. New technologies present the possibility of dynamic and three-dimentional views that could enable us to not only observe a system in a virtual world, but also to interact with it so that our actions are applied to the real system.

Resilient scatter-gather ESB messaging design with message-driven beans
This article presents a simple and resilient design to resolve a common scatter-gather application integration problem. One message-driven bean (MDB) receives a request message from a requester
and publishes it to multiple providers, while another MDB aggregates the replies from the providers and sends the aggregate to the requester. The scatter-gather design resilience relies on powerful EJB
and JMS provider runtime services, message delivery assured by the JMS provider, EJB transaction management, and automatic triggering of an MDB resulting from arrival of a message at the MDB-specified destination.
The article focuses on the design and deployment of the scatter-gather components.

Introduction to business rules
Business rules have existed since companies started automating business
processes using software applications. Traditionally, they have been buried deep
inside the application in some procedural programming language. As business rules
matured, business users tried to control and manage these rules without directly
having to deal with IT, which hasn't always been successful. Using an example from
the insurance industry, this article provides an introduction to business rules and
the importance of Business Rules Management Systems (BRMS) in bridging the gap
between business and IT.

Mission:Messaging: If your queue manager could talk, would you hear it?
Experience working on client engagements for IBM WebSphere MQ troubleshooting has revealed that many problems were not only preventable, but -- more importantly -- they would have been predictable too, if the early warning signs had been noticed and heeded. A minimal up-front investment in WebSphere MQ training and tools can prevent costly outages down the road.

Create digital certificates, Part 3: Create test digital certificates
This demo first shows you how to obtain a real root certificate from a certification authority. Then you'll see how to create a certification request in the new key database file using the IBM Key Management tool (Ikeyman). That request is sent to the certification authority to obtain a trial digital certificate that is installed in the key database file, or keystore, using Ikeyman. Finally, the keystore is open in Ikeyman where you can review the certificate contents. This demo is the third in a three part series. Parts 1 and 2 showed how to use Ikeyman and the JDK's Keytool utility to create self-signed digital certificates.

Add Ruby templating to your Project Zero and WebSphere sMash applications
Ruby users, take note. You can now do everything that Groovy and PHP users can do when creating Project Zero applications! In a previous article, we showed how to augment Project Zero to provide support for the Ruby scripting language. The code that we wrote enabled Ruby users to transfer their scripting skills to the Zero platform and take advantage of its unique programming model. Of course, scripting isn't the only way that Ruby is used to create applications - programmmers who use the Ruby on Rails framework also mix Ruby in HTML templates similar to JSP and PHP. These templates, called RHTML files, are very useful for creating dynamic user interfaces, and this article will show you how to extend our Ruby support to include them. Find out how Ruby users can now do everything that Groovy and PHP users can do when creating Zero applications!

Manage an HTTP server using RESTful interfaces, Project Zero, and WebSphere sMash
WS-* users and REST users have an ongoing debate over which
technique is most appropriate for which problem sets, with WS-* users often claiming
that more complex, enterprise-level problems cannot be solved RESTfully. This
article puts that theory to the test by trying to create a RESTful solution for a
problem area that is not often discussed by REST users: systems management. In a previous
developerWorks tutorial, I showed how to create a Web services interface for managing
HTTP server products; the tutorial used concepts from WSDL and the WS-* standards to
define the management interface and software from Apache Muse and Apache Axis to
create the management application. For this article, I use Project Zero and REST design principles to recreate the interface and function of the original application and determine if REST is a valid option for this enterprise project.

Extend Project Zero and WebSphere sMash's scripting platform with Flickr APIs
The Flickr photo sharing service is one of today's most popular Web applications. It provides a robust hosting service with slick social networking capabilities that make uploading, organizing, and finding photos very simple. That's all very cool, but from a developer's perspective, the most interesting thing about Flickr is its public API for reading and writing photo data. You can send API requests over HTTP using any programming language you wish, and many open source projects have sprung up to encapsulate this API for various languages. In this article, you'll learn how to "Zero-ize" the Flickr API by providing a Groovy binding that is easily reusable in your Project Zero applications. When you're done, you'll be able to read and write photo data from your Groovy scripts in just a few lines of code.
