Simplicity and productivity
- Flexible administrative control over integration servers and resources
IBM Integration
Bus provided an
integration node component as the central point of administrative
control over a set of owned integration servers. IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0 provides support for integration
servers that can be created and run independently from an integration
node, so you can deploy your applications to an integration server
quickly and easily, without the need to create and configure an integration
node.
For information about configuring, starting, or stopping
an integration server, see Configuring an integration server by modifying the server.conf.yaml file and Starting an integration server.
- Simplified process for deploying message flows and resources to
integration servers
-
The process for deploying message flows and resources
to an integration server has been simplified, so you can get your
applications deployed and running quickly and efficiently.
- Simplified web user interface
- An enhanced, simplified web user interface is provided in IBM App Connect Enterprise, which you can use to carry
out the following tasks:
- Start, stop, and manage deployed resources.
- Collect and view resource statistics for your integration servers.
- Create, retrieve, update, and delete operational policies.
For more information, see IBM App Connect Enterprise web user interface.
- Streamlined choice of editions and modes of operation
- A simplified structure of editions and corresponding operation
modes enables you to quickly identify the option that satisfies your
business requirements.
For more information, see Choosing your IBM App Connect Enterprise edition and operation mode.
- Security
Control access to the IBM App Connect Enterprise integration
server by using either HTTP basic authentication or by using the HTTPS
protocol.
For more information, see Administration security.
Dynamic and intelligent
- Policies replacing configurable services
-
IBM Integration
Bus provided
configurable services to define properties that are related to external
services with which the product can communicate. This information
is now defined in a policy document. Policy documents can be deployed
to IBM App Connect Enterprise as part of a BAR file.
Policies can also be placed on the file system in a particular runtime
environment to provide environment-specific overrides, enabling you
to control the behavior of message flow nodes in message flows, without
the need to redeploy your resources. A Policy editor is provided
to create and configure policies.
For more information,
see Policies overview.
