IBM WebSphere® Message Broker Version 6.0 delivers the solution for your current application
integration and information mediation needs. It can add advanced capabilities to your enterprise
service bus (ESB) by extending the integration of your service-oriented architecture (SOA) to
encompass your entire enterprise and beyond.
WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0 adds real value to the reliable connections between
applications and systems as provided by WebSphere MQ and other WebSphere products. It provides the
key capabilities your business needs to transform and route your business data between applications.
By removing the need for your business applications to include routing and transformation logic, you
can ensure your applications stay focused and your business stays flexible.
WebSphere Message Broker can act as a message and protocol switch. This enables you to connect
disparate applications and business data across multiple platforms and to provide transformation and
intelligent routing capabilities for all your business information. It makes business data
available exactly where you want it in the format you need it.
WebSphere Message Broker's robust design, scalable architecture, high performance, and ease of use
deliver the capability to build your enterprise service bus to implement an enterprise-wide SOA in
stages.
This flexible combination of capabilities provides your business with the tools to solve your
integration requirements from any starting point: a simple two-application solution or a
multi-application, multi-platform design. As your business expands and the integration challenges
multiply, WebSphere Message Broker can accommodate the changing needs of your business by:
-
Growing your infrastructure without increasing the complexity
-
Protecting your existing and ongoing investments in applications and data structures
-
Seamlessly extending your enterprise service bus
WebSphere Message Broker is the cost-effective solution for your enterprise's extensive integration
and mediation needs today and will protect your investment into the future.
WebSphere Message Broker with Rules and Formatter Extension V6.0 offers the full level of function
provided by WebSphere Message Broker, with the addition of support for the Rules and Formatter
capability from New Era of Networks.
WebSphere Event Broker V6.0 offers an easy way to distribute information based on the content of
messages. Event Broker does this by providing publish and subscribe capabilities for customers who
do not require the powerful and adaptable transformation capabilities provided by Message Broker.
All these products now contain a copy of WebSphere MQ Everyplace™, allowing you to link directly
from WebSphere Message Broker or WebSphere Event Broker out to mobile platforms and devices.

IBM WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0 delivers significant new
function for integrating virtually all applications while continuing to
improve performance, ease of use, and flexibility for developers and
administrators.
Flexible transformation
Transformations can be authored using tools that match both the user's skills and the data being
transformed. The improved graphical mapping editor allows simple drag and drop transformations.
Alternatively, developers who prefer to program can use Java™, ESQL, or XSLT as transformation
languages.
-
Improved graphical mapping
The improved graphical mapping editor makes transforming both simple and complex messages as easy as
dragging and dropping.
Maps can be developed iteratively either top-down (building the target format as part of map
creation) or bottom-up (building the source as part of map creation) map development scenarios in
addition to the existing support for meet-in-the-middle map development. Drag and drop gestures
predict the desired result of the transformation. Novice users are guided through mapping by
"predictions" that generate an initial mapping using drag and drop techniques. New features include
the ability to split source messages into a number of output messages, message header mapping, and
easy mapping of repeating elements.
-
Routing and transformation rules in Java
A new Java compute node allows routing and transformation logic to be written in Java using existing
programming skills. A standard J2SE 1.4.2 environment is provided with the standard Eclipse Java
editor with color highlighting and code assist. No ESQL skill or experience is required.
The Java jar files can be deployed to the broker runtime using the standard broker deployment
facilities.
-
ESQL enhancements
ESQL has been extended to make transforming and routing messages using ESQL even easier.
Improvements include:
-
In-memory cache to avoid access to databases for read only routing or validation data
-
Improved support for creating DATETIME variables
-
Access to multiple databases from the same compute node
-
Dynamic database schemas
-
New user-defined properties that can pass parameters to ESQL to modify standard behavior
-
Access to environment information such as flow name and broker name, and so forth
-
Improved support for result sets returned by database stored procedures
-
Improved error recovery by the use of SQL handlers
-
Multiple out terminals to combine the function of compute and filter nodes
-
XSLT enhancements
Performance of XSLT transformations is improved by the support of compiled style sheets. The style
sheets can also be deployed using the standard deployment facilities.
Improved performance and scalability
Performance of the broker runtime has been significantly improved by reducing the pathlength of the
major broker functions. The cost of parsing and streaming messages has been reduced. ESQL and
publish/subscribe functions have been optimized. The aggregation nodes are re-implemented to use
queues to save state rather than a database to significantly improve throughput, particularly of
non-persistent requests.
A new in-memory cache, mentioned above, allows more efficient flow to be developed. The Message
Repository Manager (MRM) and XML parsers have reduced their storage requirements to allow larger
messages to be dealt with.
The tools performance and scalability are improved. The tools take advantage of Eclipse 3.0
multi-threaded builders to quickly return control to the user. A performance analysis team
optimized the complete tooling path, resulting in significant time savings for tools users.
Simplified installation and migration
Installation of the product has been simplified by reducing the prerequisite products required. The
configuration manager no longer requires a database and other broker requirements have been reduced.
A default configuration wizard is provided to quickly build a full environment for development or
other simple configurations on Windows™ and Linux™.
Migration from previous releases (branded WebSphere MQ Integrator® and WebSphere Business
Integration Message Broker) is supported; utilities are provided to make version-to-version
migration a simple operation.
Installation and configuration of the product on z/OS® has been simplified.
Enhanced support for Web services
Web services support is extended by support for more standards such as SOAP 1.2 and HTTP 1.1 in
addition to verification that Web services comply with the Web Services Interoperability (WS-I)
Basic Profile.
Modelling and transformation of SOAP messages is simplified and the ability to import WSDL
definitions is provided to allow the generated WSDL to be more easily used in client development
tools.
The HTTP transport has been extended to provide HTTPS support.
Improved development toolkit
The development toolkit is based on the latest release of Rational® Application Developer and
Eclipse. New XML editors are provided.
Visual debugging of flows, ESQL, Java, and graphical mappings is simplified by reducing Eclipse
perspective switching.
New ways of driving flows
Message flows can now be driven by JMS transports in addition to WebSphere MQ. Supported JMS
providers include the embedded JMS provider in WebSphere Application Server V6.0. Other JMS V1.1
providers are supported.
A new timer node allows message flows to be driven periodically rather than by an external event.
A new MQGET node allows messages to be retrieved in the middle of a flow in addition to the
beginning and end of the flow. This new function allows groups of messages to be dealt with
together or queues to be used to save temporary state information.
These new input and output methods are in addition to the WebSphere Message Broker File Extender and
the VSAM and CICS® nodes SupportPac™ offerings.
Enhanced message parsing
The performance of parsing and streaming has been significantly improved to allow greater
throughput, especially of large messages.
Pre-built message definitions are supplied for some common industry message formats such as SOAP
envelope, SAP IDoc header, and MIME header.
A new WSDL importer is provided to simplify the calling of Web services from within flows.
A new MIME parser is provided to allow the parsing of SOAP with Attachment, RosettaNet, and TLOG
messages.
Improved management
-
Run-time versioning
The enhanced versioning capabilities introduced to the development environment in the last release
have been extended to the runtime environment. All resources deployed can be tagged to version,
author, and other useful information in addition to the standard complied time and deployment time
attributes. The new information is displayed in the administration interface making it easy to see
which resources have been deployed to production systems.
-
More automation
New and extended command line utilities are provided to allow full automation of deployment of new
resources to production environments.
A new systems management application interface is provided to allow the product to be fully managed
by other products and utilities besides the administration interface.
Improved security
The HTTP transport has been extended to support HTTPS to allow added privacy and security.
Communication between the toolkit and configuration manager has been extended to allow the use of
SSL for added security.
Extended platform support
The Configuration Manager is supported on all the broker platforms including z/OS, UNIX®, Linux,
and Microsoft™ Windows.
The development toolkit can be installed on Linux in addition to Windows.
Database support on Linux for Intel™ is extended to include Oracle in addition to DB2 Universal
Database®.

Service-oriented architecture and an enterprise service bus
In a service-oriented architecture (SOA), a connectivity layer often referred to as an enterprise
service bus (ESB) optimizes information distribution between service requesters and service
providers. Each enterprise can deploy its own unique ESB, reflecting how far it has advanced toward
becoming an On Demand Business.
As key members of the IBM WebSphere software portfolio, WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker
enable you to begin deploying or widening the deployment of your ESB today.
Some businesses may find that simple messaging-based connectivity between well-matched applications
provides the aspects of integration that they require to implement an effective enterprise service
bus. Other businesses may find that to extend these capabilities into their wider deployed
infrastructure, they realize value of other parts of the WebSphere software portfolio. As key
members of the IBM WebSphere software portfolio, WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker enable
you to begin deploying your ESB today.
These programs help maximize the value of your IT investment by broadening the range of environments
this connectivity layer can reach, such as hardware and operating system platforms and
non-standards-based programming models as well as J2EE and .NET.
For connecting these diverse programming models there needs to be proven delivery of messages and
data between the applications. The proven delivery mechanisms of WebSphere MQ and WebSphere
Application Server can extend the standards-based enterprise service bus with reliable connectivity
throughout the enterprise. WebSphere Application Server messaging resources provide a best-of-breed
Java Message Service (JMS) implementation for use with J2EE-hosted applications. WebSphere MQ
seamlessly extends those messaging resources to non-J2EE environments to integrate virtually
anything, across more than 80 platforms.
WebSphere Message Broker adds services such as message routing, transformation enrichment, and
support for a range of message distribution options and protocols to improve their flexibility and
performance. This enables businesses to integrate virtually any applications on any systems,
exchanging their data together in real time.
WebSphere software provides integration capabilities that enable you to begin reaping the benefits
of service-oriented architectures with connectivity and integration through an enterprise service
bus today.
IBM can help you to grow project-by-project toward an On Demand Business. WebSphere MQ, WebSphere
Application Server, and WebSphere Message Broker play a pivotal role in creating service-oriented
architectures and will continue to do so as IBM delivers enhanced capabilities to accelerate the
deployment of an integration infrastructure that spans the entire IT ecosystem.

In the Statement of Direction for the April 19, 2005, announcement of WebSphere MQ V6.0
(Software Announcement 205-094), IBM stated an intention to deliver WebSphere MQ V6.0 on additional
platforms, including Linux on Itanium. The requirements of clients known to be interested in
support for this configuration (Linux on Itanium) have subsequently changed and so there is no
longer an intention to extend WebSphere MQ V6.0 to this configuration.
All statements regarding IBM's plans, directions, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal
without notice.

Charge metrics definitions
Processor:
In Full Capacity charging, PoEs must be acquired for all activated "processors" (available for
use) that are on the server where the Program or a component of the Program is run.
-
If there are Program Components included in the offering whose function is not to be included in the
charge metric, these must be listed in the Program-unique Terms of the License Information.
-
IBM defines a physical processor in a computer as a functional unit that interprets and executes
instructions. A physical processor consists of at least an instruction control unit and one or more
arithmetic and logic units.
-
Multi-core technology allows two or more processors (commonly called "cores") to be active on a
single silicon chip. Unless otherwise announced, with multi-core technology, IBM considers each
"core" to be a physical processor. For example, in a dual-core chip, there are two physical
processors residing on the single silicon chip.
-
In the zSeries Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) environment, each IFL engine is considered a
single "physical processor."
-
Threading, a technique which makes a single processor seem to perform as two or more, does
not
affect the count of physical processors.
-
Where "blade" technology is employed, each "blade" is considered a separate server and charging is
based upon the total number of processors on the blade on which the Program is run.
"Per processor" charging under Sub-capacity (when available):
Required authorized use for eligible Programs is based upon the highest observed daily
utilization of the partitions where the Program or a component of the Program, executes during a
reporting period as measured by an IBM license management tool. IBM license management tool use is
required for your submission of periodic reports to IBM. For each sub-capacity eligible software
Program, the required authorized use is re-evaluated based upon the quarterly sub-capacity reports
submitted to IBM.
-
The number of authorizations you must acquire is the smaller value of either of the following
methods:
-
The total number of active (available for use) processors in the machine, or
-
The sum of (1) and (2) as follows (any remaining fraction of a processor must be rounded up to a
full processor in the final aggregation)
-
When a Program is run in partitions with dedicated processors, the sum of the Processing Units of
those partitions, and
-
When a Program is run in partitions that are members of a Shared Processing Pool, the smaller of:
The number of processors assigned to the pool, or
The sum of the Virtual Processors of each
Uncapped Partition plus the Processing Units in each Capped Partition running a Program.
-
z/VM® Guest Charging
-
The total number of active (available for use) processors in the machine, or
-
The sum of (1) and (2) as follows (any remaining fraction of a processor must be rounded up to a
full processor in the final aggregation)
-
When a program is run in VM Guests with dedicated processors, the sum of the Integrated Facility for
Linux (IFL) engines of those VM Guests, and
-
When a program is run in VM Guests that are members of a Shared Processing Pool (z/VM), the smaller
of:
The number of processors assigned to the z/VM pool, or
The sum of the IFL engines in
each z/VM pool running a Program.

In the zSeries Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) environment, each IFL engine is considered a
single "physical processor".
-
Threading, a technique which makes a single processor seem to perform as two or more, does
not
affect the count of physical processors
"Per managed processor" charging under Full Capacity:
Charges are based on the active processors on the machines in the computing environment
affiliated with the Program rather than on the server where the program is run. The managed
processors which require PoEs are defined in both the
Charges
section of the Announcement and the License Information's Program-unique terms.

The Program may
not run
on
some or all
of the processors for which PoEs are required by the Program's valuation method.

Yes
Warranty:
This program has warranty for a minimum of one year from acquisition from IBM or authorized IBM
Business Partner. The warranty provided to the customer, for at least one year from acquisition, is
access to databases (read Web sites) for program information and FAQs, including any known fixes to
defects, which the customer can download or obtain otherwise and install at leisure.
Program technical support:
Technical support of a program product will be available for a minimum of three years from the
general availability date, as long as your Software Maintenance is in effect. This technical
support allows you to obtain assistance (via telephone or electronic means) from IBM for
product-specific, task-oriented questions regarding the installation and operation of the program
product. Software Maintenance also provides you with access to updates, releases, and versions of
the program. Customers will be notified, via announcement letter, of discontinuance of support with
12 months' notice. If you require additional technical support from IBM, including an extension of
support beyond the discontinuance date, contact your IBM representative or IBM Business Partner.
This extension may be available for a fee.
Money-back guarantee:
If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the Program and you are the original licensee,
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.
-
For Programs acquired under the IBM International Passport Advantage offering, this term applies
only to your first acquisition of the Program.
-
For Programs acquired under any of IBM's On/Off Capacity on Demand (On/Off CoD) software offerings,
this term does not apply since these offerings apply to Programs already acquired and in use by the
customer.

Charging and license use management:
Charges for authorized use of the Program are based on
"Processor License Units" (PLUs). The use of the Program on any server
machine requires one PLU to be acquired (from IBM or an IBM Business
Partner) for each processor or symmetric multiprocessor contained in the
server machine on which any copy of the Program is to run. PLUs are
required for every server machine on which the Broker component of the
Program is installed. You are also required to obtain a corresponding
number of additional PLUs if the Program installation is moved to a
server machine with a greater number of processors, or if any additional
processors are added to the server machine on which the Program is
installed.
Failure to comply with requirement for the appropriate number of PLUs
will invalidate the terms of this license. License Use Management
software is used to monitor compliance.
No separate server authorizations are required to license any other
component part of the Program.
You should retain your original product and all Passport Advantage
documents as Proof of Entitlement.
Specific restrictions also apply to various components of the Program, as
described below.
Use of components on separate machines:
The Program consists of several components:
-
Message broker
-
Configuration manager
-
User Name Server
-
Database manager
-
Message Broker Toolkit
Each component may be installed on only a single machine, at any one time
except for the Message Broker Toolkit, which may be installed on multiple
machines provided they are all used in conjunction with the same message
broker machine.
You may use the Program's Configuration Manager on the same server
machine as the Broker component, or on one Intel-based1 machine.
-
1
-
Intel machines include compatible processors, such as Cyrix and AMD.
Unit testing:
The Program license authorizes a single developer to install
each component of the program on a single Microsoft Windows machine for
purposes of "unit testing," which is limited to testing of code written
or generated by such developer to confirm that such code functions as
designed. Each license does not authorize the following purposes:
-
Testing applications on servers separate from the developer's machine
-
Exchanging messages with any production application or system
-
Simulating production workloads
-
Testing scalability of any code, application, or system
WebSphere MQ:
The Program includes a copy of IBM WebSphere MQ V6.0. For each
Proof of Entitlement, you are authorized to install and use WebSphere MQ
V6.0 in association with your use of the Program, as follows:
-
You are authorized to install two copies of WebSphere MQ V6.0 for use
with the Program.
-
You are authorized to use WebSphere MQ V6.0 only with messages generated
for the Program, and not for other purposes. (To use WebSphere MQ V6.0
for any other purpose, you must acquire a separate [unrestricted]
Proof of Entitlement which authorizes such use of an WebSphere MQ V6.0
software product.)
IBM Cloudscape:
The Program includes an embedded version of IBM Cloudscape
Version 10.0 (or components of IBM Cloudscape Version 10.0).
Your use of IBM Cloudscape includes the right to copy, modify, prepare
derivative works of, and embed IBM Cloudscape into applications you
develop, and to redistribute IBM Cloudscape, as modified, as part of
those applications, provided that you: (1) agree to defend, hold
harmless, and indemnify IBM from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, damages, expenses, and costs arising out of or in connection
with your use or distribution of the Program, modifications thereof, or
your application programs, and (2) distribute your applications under a
license that states (i) that IBM (or any suppliers of code included in

IBM Global Services has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to put
you on the road to higher systems availability. IBM Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution
that provides you with an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support on
the IBM . You should benefit
from greater system availability due to faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. IBM
Electronic Services is comprised of two separate but complementary elements: IBM Electronic Services
news page and IBM Electronic Service Agent™.
IBM Electronic Services news page provides you with a single Internet entry point that replaces the
multiple entry points traditionally used by customers 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 IBM Electronic Service Agent is no-additional charge software that resides on your IBM system. It is designed to
proactively monitor events and transmit system inventory information to IBM on a periodic,
customer-defined timetable. The IBM 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 maintains higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected
through the Service Agent will be made available to IBM service support representatives when they
are helping answer your questions or diagnosing problems.
