Service-oriented architecture (SOA) has the potential to drive business flexibility, performance,
and innovation by better aligning your information technologies to your business objectives.
Maximizing this potential depends on how well you manage the services in your SOA throughout the
life cycle.
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository is an industrial-strength tool that helps you achieve more
business value from your SOA by enabling better management and governance of your services. Through
its robust registry and repository capabilities and its tight integration with IBM SOA Foundation,
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository can be an essential foundational component of your SOA
implementation.
Store, access, and manage information to support a successful SOA
The WebSphere Service Registry and Repository system enables you to store, access, and manage
information about the services (commonly referred to as service metadata) in your SOA. This
information is used to select, invoke, govern, and reuse services as part of a successful SOA.
You can use WebSphere Service Registry and Repository to store information about services in your
systems, or in other organizations' systems, that you already use, that you plan to use, or that you
want to be aware of. For example, an application can check with WebSphere Service Registry and
Repository just before it invokes a service to locate the most appropriate service that satisfies
its functional and performance needs. This capability helps make your SOA deployment more dynamic
and more adaptable to changing business conditions.
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository includes:
-
A service registry that contains information about services, such as the service interfaces, its
operations, and parameters
-
A metadata repository that has the robust framework and extensibility to suit the diverse nature of
service usage
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository can be a critical deployment component of SOA projects
because it allows you to:
-
Enable clear visibility into service associations and relationships. This allows you to better
align IT to meet business needs by outlining business tasks and the corresponding IT services.
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository capabilities support service life-cycle management and
governance so that you can better control your SOA environment.
-
Share your services. You can identify common services to avoid duplication and foster reuse.
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository functions support discovery and reuse of services and the
associated metadata and artifacts.
-
Deliver services interoperability. This capability is critical to making the most of existing
investments and infrastructure. With the support of Web Services Description Language (WSDL), XML,
XML Schema Definition (XSD) Language, Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), Service Component
Architecture (SCA), and other standards, WebSphere Service Registry and Repository delivers true
interoperability.
-
Provide SOA governance. SOA governance is a catalyst for handling IT value and business value.
Your SOA can be more tightly aligned to business objectives because it is organized by
business-oriented services and not by IT function. Thus, better governance of your SOA means better
business results.
-
Unlock the value of mainframe applications and databases. Mainframe applications and database
interactions that are exposed as services can be published to WebSphere Service Registry and
Repository and accessed by both mainframe and non-mainframe applications without invasive
programming at the API level.
-
Enforce best practices. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository provides functions and
flexibility to help IT groups institute standards and best practices in their SOA deployments.
-
Incrementally adopt SOA. The scalable nature of WebSphere Service Registry and Repository enables
you to start your SOA small and grow as needed. You can incrementally deploy your SOA alongside
your existing assets and processes. You do not have to remove what you already have to get the
business benefits of SOA.
Playing a vital role in IBM SOA Foundation
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository plays a major role in the SOA life cycle.
-
Model. During service modeling, you can use WebSphere Service Registry and Repository to create or
reuse service taxonomies, vocabularies, and XML schemas.
-
Assemble. During service development or assembly, you can use WebSphere Service Registry and
Repository to locate services for reuse and to enable service composition, such as creating new
applications and services from existing ones.
-
Deploy. As part of the service deployment process, you can publish service descriptions to
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository. It augments any service descriptions that already exist
from development or other tools, which helps increase component reuse.
-
Manage. To manage services that leverage system-management practices (such as Information
Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) processes, and Change and Configuration Management Database
(CCMDB) for storing information about service interactions such as mediations), you can use
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository to capture and assess the performance of services against
business and operational performance objectives. The service registry forms the core that feeds the
overall SOA governance technology, which underpins the SOA framework and helps you manage your
overall SOA infrastructure.
Today, most service registries provide basic publishing and discovery of service descriptions. Some
solutions might offer basic repositories, but they do not address the overall service metadata
aspects in a repository. Typically, they do not include governance capabilities that enable you to
manage the end-to-end life cycle of all of your services artifacts.
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository overcomes these deficiencies. Its robust,
industrial-strength capabilities help you efficiently manage access to, and governance of, services.
Standard registry and repository functions for the entire software life cycle, well integrated with
IBM SOA Foundation, make WebSphere Service Registry and Repository a valuable component of your SOA.
Regardless of the level of SOA maturity in your enterprise, WebSphere Service Registry and
Repository can bring immediate benefits that can help accelerate your adoption of an SOA approach.
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository interacts with almost all parts of the SOA life cycle:
-
Interacting with the service development life cycle with standard asset management solutions
-
Tracking the service life-cycle stages as the service goes through the change and release management
processes
-
Providing optimized access to run-time facilities
-
Sharing information on services and service metadata with operational system management utilities
During the development stages of the service life cycle, WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
can locate copies of the record of candidate service interaction end points or mediating
intermediaries as well as policies governing the interactions. This complements the development
tools within the IBM software family.
Accessibility by people with disabilities
Features of WebSphere Service Registry and Repository that support use by people with disabilities
include:
-
The ability to use assistive technologies such as screen readers and screen magnifier software
-
Facilities to customize display attributes such as color, contrast, and font size
-
The capability of operating the system using only the keyboard
You can request a U.S. Section 508 Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) at
Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository is capable, as of October 20, 2006, when used in
accordance with IBM's associated documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section
508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used with the product properly
interoperates with it.

WebSphere Service Registry and Repository is a stand-alone product that
performs critical functions in the area of SOA governance and service
life-cycle management.
As an enabler for SOA governance, WebSphere Service Registry and
Repository:
-
Maintains service integrity and authorizes changes to deployed services
It enables visibility and access controls over service metadata for
sharing and reuse. The service tracking capability, along with the
information on service dependencies, provides governance to authorize
changes to services that are already deployed. It also provides
dependency analysis to assist in the analysis of a change to service
information.
-
Provides rich interaction with all stages of the SOA life cycle
Run-time integration makes SOA run times dynamic. An enterprise service
bus (ESB) or any run-time hosting services or service mediation can
access WebSphere Service Registry and Repository to inject dynamic
behavior into the SOA environment.
-
Offers rich service metadata capabilities
Classification and socialization of high-value assets encourage reuse and
interoperability. This allows finding suitable services for reuse very
important in SOA. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository provides
user-defined metadata to support enterprise information model. It offers
OWL-based, user-defined semantic classifications on all service entities
to facilitate lookup from different business areas and user roles.
-
Exposes key access points through standardized APIs
The basic operations that are exposed as APIs are necessary for driving
the integration needed so that WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
can facilitate the broader requirements of SOA.

Charge metrics definitions
Value Unit:
A Value Unit is a pricing charge metric for program license entitlements which is based upon
the quantity of a specific designated measurement used for a given program. Each program has a
designated measurement. The most commonly used designated measurement is a processor core.
However, for select programs, there are other designated measurements such as users, client devices,
and messages. The number of Value Unit entitlements required for your specific implementation of
the given program must be obtained from a conversion table associated with the program. You must
obtain a proof of entitlement (PoE) for the appropriate number of Value Unit entitlements for your
implementation. The Value Unit entitlements of a given program cannot be exchanged, interchanged,
or aggregated with Value Unit entitlements of another program.
Processor (Value Unit):
A processor (commonly called a "CPU" or "core") is a functional unit within a computing device
that interprets and executes instructions. A processor consists of at least an instruction control
unit and one or more arithmetic or logic unit. With multicore technology, each core is considered a
processor. Not all processors require the same number of Value Unit entitlements. To determine the
number of Value Unit entitlements required, refer to the processor value unit conversion table on
the Passport Advantage Web site
With full capacity licensing, a PoE must be acquired for the appropriate
number of value units based on all activated processors on the server
available to the program or a component of the program.
Sub-Capacity processor (Value Unit):
In sub-capacity licensing, a PoE must be acquired for the
appropriate number of value units based on all activated processors in
partitions (using eligible partitioning technologies) on the server
available to the program or a component of the program.

IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to put you on the road to
higher systems availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that provides an
exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available on the IBM
eServer® platform. These services provide the opportunity for greater system availability due to
faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate but
complementary elements: IBM Electronic Services news page and IBM Electronic Service Agent™.
Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry
points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to
gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent is no-additional charge software that resides on your IBM eServer
system. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic,
customer-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent tracks system inventory, hardware error
logs, and performance information. If the server is under a current IBM maintenance service
agreement or within the IBM warranty period, the Service Agent automatically reports hardware
problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to provide proactive service
that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected
through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help
answer your questions or diagnose problems.
