SOAs have 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
tangible 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 is 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 lets you 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.
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:
-
Service registry that contains information about services, such as the service interfaces, its
operations, and parameters.
-
Metadata repository that has the robust framework and extensibility to suit the diverse nature of
service usage.
-
Support for clustered deployment topology, meeting the scalability requirements with the growth of
services and associated metadata.
-
Document Support feature that lets you annotate services with any form of document (for example,
Word, PowerPoint, Visio, Excel). The basic capability is to:
-
Store a binary/generic document — as a new type of document
-
Relate it to another entity that it describes — using the existing relationship facility
-
Retrieve documentation associated with the service
-
Update documentation associated with the service
-
Included UDDI synchronization module, which allows entries created via a UDDI v3-capable product to
be synchronized with entries in WebSphere Service Registry and Repository. WSDL document entries
that have been created in UDDI following Best Practice: "Using in a UDDI Registry" or Technical
Note: "Using Web Services Description Language in a UDDI Registry, V2.0.2" can be mapped, created,
and maintained including their metadata using this module. Policy documents stored in UDDI can also
be mapped in WebSphere Service Registry and Repository. The support is bidirectional, meaning that
documents created in WebSphere Service Registry and Repository can be mapped into UDDI and
vice-versa.
-
'Load documents' facility that enables users to add multiple documents, resolve all import
dependencies, and optionally to save the documents as a collection.
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository can be a critical deployment component of SOA projects
because it allows you to:
-
Have 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,
Service Component Architecture (SCA), and other standards including UDDI, WebSphere Service Registry
and Repository delivers true interoperability.
-
Provide SOA governance.
SOA governance is a catalyst for optimized SOA deployments in meeting the IT and business
objectives. Your SOA can be more tightly aligned to business objectives because it is organized by
business-oriented services and if needed, also 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.
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, classifications, 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 composite
applications.
-
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 by enriching the service interaction from runtimes.
-
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. Today, most service registries provide basic publishing and discovery
of service descriptions. Some solutions may offer basic repositories, but they do not address the
overall service metadata aspects in a repository. 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 and other complimentary
third-party software solutions, 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 is a critical component across all stages 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
Accessibility by people with disabilities
Features of WebSphere Service Registry and Repository that support use by people with disabilities
include:
-
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
-
Capability of operating the system using only the keyboard

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 a program depends on how the
program is deployed in your environment and must be obtained from a Value Unit table. You must
obtain a Proof of Entitlement (PoE) for the calculated number of Value Unit entitlements for your
implementation. The Value Unit entitlements are specific to a program and may not be exchanged,
interchanged, or aggregated with Value Unit entitlements of another program.
Processor (Value Unit)
A processor core is a functional unit within a computing device that interprets and executes
instructions. A processor core 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
processor cores require the same number of Value Unit entitlements. To calculate the number of
Value Unit entitlements required, refer to the value unit table on the following Web site
With full capacity licensing, a PoE must be acquired for the appropriate
number of value units based on all activated processor cores available
for use on the server.
Sub-capacity processor (Value Unit)
For programs eligible for sub-capacity licensing, a PoE must be acquired
for the appropriate number of value units based on all activated
processor cores available for use in each partition (utilizing eligible
partitioning technologies) where the program runs. Refer to the
"International Passport Advantage Agreement Attachment for sub-capacity
terms" or the program's license information to determine applicable
sub-capacity terms.
