| 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.

| Send SMS push notifications to your mobile app using IBM Worklight
Many companies today are extending their enterprise applications to the
mobile channel. One of the key requirements for enterprise apps is the
ability to send short messages (as notifications or alerts) to mobile
clients. Notifications drive user engagement and can be based on events or
triggered by user behavior or by some pre-condition. IBM Worklight V5.0.5
provides support for sending SMS/text notifications to mobile devices in
addition to smart phone push notifications. This article explains how you
can set up and send SMS notifications with Worklight, using a retail
banking scenario as an example. Sample mobile app source is provided to
illustrate how to subscribe and receive SMS notifications.

| 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.

| Secure mobile access to enterprise applications through IBM WebSphere
DataPower SOA Appliances
Increasingly, IT enterprises are faced with the challenges of supporting
access to their applications from mobile devices. In the past, enterprise
applications have focused on web browsers as the client. Now,
bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiatives mean that the enterprise often
doesn’t have any control over the choice of client device. The responsibility
to secure this new kind of access remains (and in fact is) more important than
ever -- but the challenge is compounded by the variety of mobile devices that are available. Enterprises must respond quickly to secure these applications, and they must do this in ways that complement existing investments. Through sample scripts and mobile device simulations, this article explains how an IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance can quickly and securely extend the IT infrastructure -- even to mobile devices.

| Care process management: Using BPM tools and methodology in the healthcare environment
Historically, healthcare excellence has been achieved through
individual practitioners focusing on being best in their medical
discipline. The industry has evolved into a series of independent
providers and processes, focusing on intervention. Focusing within each
discipline does not provide consideration for the overall patient
experience. Today, the healthcare industry is marked by its poor design,
high fragmentation, and stunning inefficiency. Care Process Management
(CPM) uses best practices for business process management to improve
clinical outcomes without changing care processes or displacing the role
of health workers.
