DescriptionWebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OSWebSphere MQ Integrator technology is a powerful information broker that selects and distributes information to the applications, databases, and people who need it. Users can implement realtime, application-to-application message transformation, and intelligent message routing quickly and easily. It is flexible. Applications can be added, extended, or replaced within information flows. WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS is a middleware application integration engine — a powerful information broker — that manages:
WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS is architected with a library of nodes produced by IBM and delivered with the product. In addition, further plug-in nodes and parsers can be downloaded. WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS does not contain the Rules and Formatter found in WebSphere MQ Integrator Customers, Business Partners, or other third parties may add to these functions by developing further plug-ins, used with this open framework concept. WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS uses WebSphere MQ to send and receive messages between applications. With WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS, operations are performed on the messages. These operations could include:
Message formats can be self-defining, using XML, or defined using an
IBM-provided format repository. Predefined templates mean WebSphere MQ
Integrator Broker for z/OS can exchange information with major packaged
applications.
Benefits of WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OSWebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS offers flexibility for customers who do not need the Rules and Formatter but require all the other functions provided by WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1. Extending support for WebSphere MQ Integrator to the z/OS platform offers increased integration opportunities for z/OS customers with:
In addition to those provided in previous releases, WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS provides the following benefits:
Features of WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OSImproved Message Repository Manager (MRM): WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS includes a new version of the MRM with significantly enhanced support for XML messages and support for industry-standard "tag delimited" message formats such as SWIFT, EDI, and AL3 (ACORD). Extensions to the Logical Model
New XML Mapping Layer: A new "XML layer" in the data model allows the following aspects of the mapping between the logical model and physical XML to be defined:
In addition, the range of supported identifiers includes any valid XML element name, without the ":" character (in other words, it must start with a letter or underscore and can continue with letters, digits, underscores, hyphens, or full stops). Tagged Format Support: A new Tag Wire Format (TWF) layer in the message model allows the physical mapping to be defined for tag-delimited strings:
Specializations of this TWF layer are provided with preset values for:
Enhanced Support for Plug-in Node Developers: The plug-in node API enables customers and Business Partners to write additional input nodes for WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1. A new set of Java objects and classes is provided to support the development and deployment of plug-in nodes written in Java. This new interface provides access to the full range of function required for the development of new plug-in nodes. New ESQL Features: ESQL has been enhanced with the following functions. The SELECT function now allows arbitrary restructuring of message trees, even those with nested repetitions. The SQL standard CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE FUNCTION, and CALL statements are introduced. Database stored procedures defined to the broker by the CREATE PROCEDURE statement can be invoked by the CALL statement. This allows stored procedures to have proper parameter type matching and to return output values. Field references may now contain expressions for the type, name, and index of fields, allowing fields whose names are not known until runtime to be accessed without use of the slow EVAL statement.
Transaction Processing SupportPacsEach SupportPac™ supplies a particular function or service that can be used with one or more of the WebSphere MQ products. New SupportPacs are available:
Visit the Transaction Processing SupportPacs library: Value-Unit-Based PricingValue-Unit-based pricing helps to align the prices of these products to the principle of the Parallel Sysplex License Charge (PSLC) pricing curve, which provides for a lower price per MSU (millions of service units per hour) for larger capacities. There is also be a price benefit when you grow their capacity. Additional capacity is based on the number of Value Units (MSUs) you have installed already; for example, additional capacity is not priced starting at the base with a higher price per unit but on the capacity already installed.
Note that Value Units of a given product cannot be
exchanged/interchanged/aggregated with Value Units of another product.
IBM Program License Agreement (IPLA) and Subscription and Support ConsiderationsIPLA licenses can be transferred from one machine to another within, but not limited to an enterprise. The customer may aggregate the capacity for all the processors the product is operated on to achieve a more economic price. This will result in a single Proof of Entitlement. It is the customer's responsibility to manage the distribution of Value Units within the limits of the Entitlement of the program license. Subscription and Support must cover the same capacity as the Product License entitlement. Subscription and Support will be available in the country in which the agreement is made. Product PositioningIntegration is fundamental to business. You need to integrate applications to realize your e-business goals. The WebSphere MQ Integrator and WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS represents the IBM response to this market need. The WebSphere MQ Integrator and WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS address business and application integration by helping you manage information, connectivity, and flow. This allows you to:
System connectivity is typically enhanced into application integration by developers who write code to capture, evaluate, translate, and reformat data from source applications to a format understood by destination applications. This can be simplified at design, development, and maintenance stages by using WebSphere MQ Integrator, rather than traditional programming techniques, saving both time, effort, and costs to your organization. Positioning Business Integration: The WebSphere platform for e-business includes business integration products and solutions that help integrate a single department or pervade the entire enterprise, reaching across business channels, trading partners, and Web customers. Business Integration is one of the capabilities delivered by the WebSphere software platform, along with user reach and experience and foundation and tools. Business Integration can be achieved through one of four styles of integration:

Performance Considerations: Major performance improvements are included in the string class, parser, and MRM components within this release of the WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker. Improved message flow rates within the product reduce the associated CPU costs. Refer to published Performance Information available from the WebSphere MQ Web site: Planning InformationUse of Components on Separate Machines: WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS consists of several components:
Each component may be installed on only a single machine at any one time under the terms and conditions of the WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS license, except for the Control Center, which may be installed on multiple machines provided they are all used in conjunction with the same message broker machine. The Message Broker component determines how Value Unit requirements are calculated. Calculations must be made using the appropriate type of processor for the operating system in use. Customer Responsibilities: You must provide at least the minimum hardware and software environments in which the licensed programs operate. Customers must identify the machine on which they will install the WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS product, and identify the MSU tier in which they fit and then calculate the number of Value Units for the required Use Authorization. Before operating the system, the customer must confirm that they have sufficient Use Authorization to use the system. Problem determination (PD) is a customer responsibility. PD is an assessment of whether a problem is caused by hardware or software. PD is complete only when the cause of the problem is identified. This assessment includes examination of available symptoms using the PD procedures documented in the product. Problem source identification (PSI) is a customer responsibility. PSI begins when software is determined to be the source of the problem. PSI includes tracing the source of the program to a host system control program (SCP), an application program, or another source. Assisting the customer with PSI is an IBM service and support responsibility. Packaging: The WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker for z/OS package consists of 3480 Tape Cartridges, CD-ROMs, hardcopy manuals, license information, and Proof of Entitlement (PoE) The program package contains:

Proofs of Entitlement are required for all authorized use. The IBM Agreement for Acquisition of Support (Z125-6011) applies for maintenance and does not require customer signatures. These products are licensed under the IPLA, the associated Agreement for Acquisition of Support, and the Addendum for Support (Z125-6435), which provide for support with ongoing access to releases and versions of the program. These programs have a one-time license charge for use of the program and an ongoing recurring charge for the enhanced support that includes telephone assistance (voice support for defects during normal business hours) as well as access to updates, releases, and versions of the program as long as support is in effect. S/390 and zSeries IBM Operational Support Services — Support Line is an option for customers who desire added services. Program Services: Available until December 31, 2004 Money-Back Guarantee: If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the program, return it within 30 days from the invoice date, to the party (either IBM or its reseller) from whom you acquired it, for a refund. This applies only to your first acquisition of the program. Copy and Use on Home/Portable Computer: No Passport Advantage Applies: No Value Units and Program Charges: The charge units used for this product are based on Value Units, depending on the measured system usage (MSU) level of the server on which the Message Broker is installed. The number of MSUs per machine type/model is published by IBM and can be viewed online at: To calculate the number of Value Units, the total MSUs are subdivided into one or more tiers, for each tier, the Value Units are calculated by multiplying the MSU tier value by a adjustment factor and the resulting numbers are then added together to provide the total Value Units. Refer to the example shown in the Ordering Information section. The program includes a client, which must be used on an Intel®-based1 machine. No separate server authorizations are required to license any other component part of the media package Value Unit Transferability: Value Units purchased under this announcement are intended to be used on z/OS or OS/390 only. Capacity Units purchased to use versions of this program for use with operating systems other than z/OS are transferable for use on the z/OS operating system, but only with the prior written agreement of IBM, which may be granted subject to the payment of additional license charges. Licenses granted under the IPLA can be transferred from one machine to another within (but not limited to) an enterprise. Sysplex licensed users may aggregate the "capacity for all the processors" on which the program is operated to achieve a more economic price. This will result in a single PoE document. It is the licensed user's responsibility to manage the distribution of Value Units so as not to exceed the applicable entitlement limits under the user's current license to use the program.
