As customers adopt effective SOA solutions, the need to proactively govern the service life cycle through prescriptive capabilities offered by WebSphere Service Registry and Repository becomes important. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository also integrates and complements numerous solutions from IBM as well as external solutions from business partners, including:
A key part of this updated release WebSphere Service Registry and Repository is to deliver the advanced capabilities necessary to leverage the solutions as an Enterprise Service Registry and Repository in driving the success of customer SOA deployments.
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository helps manage service interactions and dependencies by handling policies, versioning, classification, and usage throughout the life cycle of the service to promote optimal interaction of services in the SOA. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository enables management and governance capabilities for you to get the most business value from your SOA. It facilitates storing, accessing, and managing service information (service metadata) enabling service consumers to easily select, invoke, govern, and reuse services. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository delivers visibility and control of the services in the SOA. It helps drive business flexibility by managing the services that align IT with business objectives. With these capabilities, WebSphere Service Registry and Repository throughout the SOA life cycle (model, assemble, deploy, and manage) helps govern access, monitor service vitality, manage policies for publishing, and use and retire services. Without proactive service lifecycle governance and management of service metadata in an SOA, it is difficult to optimize business results of SOA that indicate the challenges in managing and a general lack of control over your services. These typically include:

An SOA is the next evolutionary step to help IT organizations meet their ever more-complex challenges. 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 govern the services in your SOA throughout the life cycle. Store, access, and manage information to support a successful SOA. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository V7.0 delivers management and governance capabilities that allow you to get the most business value from your SOA. It facilitates storing, accessing, and managing service information, called service metadata, to easily select, invoke, govern, and reuse your services. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository has tight integration with IBM SOA Foundation, an integrated, open standards-based set of software, best practices, and patterns for SOA. Publish, find, enrich, manage, and govern Encourage reuse The publish and find capabilities of WebSphere Service Registry and Repository promote service reuse in SOA projects by allowing greater visibility of and easier access to existing services. The service discovery engine discovers services on WebSphere Application Server and other Application Server platforms, WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, and Microsoft®.NET platforms, allowing you to keep an accurate record of deployed services in your SOA. Faceted search offers a natural and user-friendly way to find services by allowing you to progressively refine search results using attributes, document types, or classification. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository helps in quickly creating or modifying business processes using existing services. A powerful query mechanism allows you to search and find the services that best fit the requirements of a given process. Enhance connectivity The enrich capability enables dynamic and efficient access to services information by both runtime applications and processes that facilitate better connectivity and efficiency. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository increases runtime flexibility of applications by an enterprise service bus (ESB) by enabling selection of services based on service metadata. Optimize service usage The manage capability enables management of service metadata, as well as service interactions, dependencies, and redundancies. You can classify services based on business objectives, manage policies for service usage, and monitor how services are changed and versioned. Also, you can link related documents (such as PDF files) to service metadata. This capability helps you optimize the use of services in an SOA by exchanging rich service metadata with runtime monitoring tools and operational data stores. Enable SOA governance Enables SOA governance in the service life cycle by providing:
SOA policy management WebSphere Service Registry and Repository enables policy management across the life cycle spanning all domains of policy. Better policy management with WebSphere Service Registry and Repository lets you track and govern your run-time policies while establishing contractual and enforceable relationships between various run-time policies and associated services. It allows you to consistently enforce the most current policies in your SOA. These policies are discovered and interpreted dynamically during run time. By helping to ensure that your contractual obligations are strictly followed, you will benefit by mitigating the risk of lost revenue and customer dissatisfaction, and achieving higher levels of service quality and responsiveness.
Federate with other SOA repositories:WebSphere Service Registry and Repository federates with other SOA repositories to enable governance and management of the complete service life cycle. At the model and assemble phases, WebSphere Service Registry and Repository is complemented by repositories that specialize in managing SOA development artifacts. In the deploy and manage phases, WebSphere Service Registry and Repository can work with a configuration management databases to acquire and manage operational details of your IT infrastructure. Integration with IBM Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database (CCMDB) provides governance and impact analysis capabilities across services and the underlying infrastructure. Synchronization with Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) registries allows entries created via a UDDI V3-capable product to be synchronized with entries in WebSphere Service Registry and Repository. Web Services Description Language document entries (that have been created in UDDI following Best Practice: "Using Web Services Description Language 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. 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. Enable governance and lifecycle management of high-value applications:WebSphere Service Registry and Repository helps your high-value applications to participate fully in enterprise SOA. Service enabled applications from WebSphere MQ and CICS can be published in WebSphere Service Registry and Repository enabling you to reuse, classify, describe, and govern these services like any other service in your SOA. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository can be a critical deployment component of SOA projects because it enables you to:

Charge metrics definitions Processor Value Unit (PVU) Processor Value Unit (PVU) is a unit of measure by which this software product can be licensed. PVU entitlements are based on processor technology (defined within the PVU table* by processor vendor, brand, type and model number). IBM continues to define a processor, for purposes of PVU-based licensing, to be each processor core on a chip. Each software product has a unique price per PVU. To determine the total cost of deploying an individual software product in a specific hardware environment, you must take the following steps:
PVU entitlements are specific to a software product and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with PVU entitlements of another software product. Unless you have deployed eligible sub-capacity products according to the sub-capacity* terms, you must obtain PVU Proof of Entitlements (PoEs) for the maximum number of activated** physical processor cores in the hardware environment made available to or managed by the software product. This is also referred to as full capacity licensing. (**) Activated processor cores are physical processor cores that are available for use in a server. They include processor cores:
