SOA and an enterprise service bus
In an SOA, a connectivity layer often referred to as an enterprise service bus optimizes information distribution between service requesters and service providers. Each enterprise can deploy its own unique enterprise service bus, reflecting how far it has advanced toward becoming an On Demand Business.
Some users may find that simple messaging based connectivity between well-matched applications delivers the aspects of integration that they require to implement an effective enterprise service bus. Other users may find that to extend these capabilities out into their wider deployed infrastructure, they realize value of other parts of the WebSphere software portfolio. As key members of the WebSphere software portfolio, WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Message Broker enable your users to begin deploying your enterprise service bus 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 beyond more standardized programming models such as J2EE and .NET.
The proven delivery mechanisms of WebSphere MQ and the JMS messaging resources delivered by WebSphere Application Server, and available in WebSphere ESB, extend the reach of the enterprise service bus with reliable connectivity throughout the enterprise for connecting and integrating virtually any type of application or system. WebSphere Application Server messaging resources offer a best-of-breed Java Message Service (JMS) implementation for use with connecting to J2EE-hosted applications. WebSphere MQ seamlessly extends those messaging resources to non-J2EE environments to integrate virtually anything, across more than 80 platforms. WebSphere ESB can make use of both types of messaging environment as required.
WebSphere ESB delivers an enterprise service bus that will connect applications that have standards based interfaces in order to power your SOA. WebSphere ESB is used in conjunction with WebSphere Integration Developer, which is designed with ease of use in mind and requires minimal programming skills, based around an interactive visual environment. To create a true enterprise service bus, WebSphere ESB also supports seamless integration with the WebSphere software stack, enabling you to move up the stack to solve more complex business problems, as well as the Web services-based integration delivered by WebSphere ESB.
WebSphere Message Broker adds services such as content-based message routing and transformation, as well as support for a range of message distribution options and protocols to improve their flexibility and performance. These features allow WebSphere Message Broker to extend the standardized integration features of an enterprise service bus out to encompass all business systems and applications, making full use of the IT assets of the business, and even allowing better integration with the applications and business processes of business partners.
WebSphere software delivers integration capabilities that enable you to begin reaping the benefits of SOAs and begin deploying end-to-end environments that deliver the benefits of an enterprise service bus across all of a business infrastructure today.
IBM can help you to grow project-by-project toward an On Demand Business.
WebSphere MQ, WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere ESB, and WebSphere
Message Broker play a pivotal role in creating SOAs and will continue to
do so as IBM delivers enhanced capabilities to accelerate the deployment
of enterprise service buses that span the entire IT ecosystem.

Advanced connectivity for SOA end points
WebSphere® ESB supports advanced interactions between service end points on the following levels:
-
Broad connectivity: WebSphere ESB enables you to connect interaction end points using a variety of
interaction protocols (for example, JMS 1.1) and APIs. It supports interactions via JMS 1.1
implemented in WebSphere Platform Messaging as well as SOAP over HTTP(S) and SOAP over JMS. It
allows interoperation with the WebSphere family (WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere MQ, and
WebSphere Message and Event Brokers) and can leverage WebSphere Adapters for capture and
dissemination of business events.
The Message Clients for C/C++ and for .NET enable non-Java™ applications to connect to the enterprise service bus and the Web Services Client is a JAX-RPC-like Web services client for C++ to enables users to connect to Web services hosted on WebSphere from within a C++ environment. Features at this level can be used to perform basic protocol conversion between interaction end points where the protocol used by the requester to dispatch their requests (for example, SOAP over HTTP) is different from that of the service provider that is to handle those requests (for example, SOAP over JMS).
- Spectrum of Interaction Models: WebSphere ESB supports a range of interaction models including request/reply, point-to-point, and publish/subscribe-style interactions. It supports WS-* Standards including WS-Security and WS-Atomic Transactions and includes a UDDI 3.0 Registry that can be used to publish and manage service end point metadata.
-
Mediation services: WebSphere ESB supports mediation of interactions between end points beyond
protocol conversion; it enables handling of integration logic processing in the enterprise service
bus instead of in the interacting end points. That includes support for content and context-based
routing of messages that are exchanged via the enterprise service bus as well as other operations on
those messages such as logging or transformation of those messages.
Pre-built mediation functions allow mediations to be visually composed and include XML transformation, message logging, message routing, and database lookup. You can augment the function offered by the supplied primitives by programming your own "custom mediation functions."
Supplied mediation functions are:
- Fail, which throws an exception and terminates the path through the mediation flow.
- Stop, which silently terminates the path through the mediation flow.
- MessageFilter, which compares the content of the message to a list of XPath expressions configured by the user, and routes the message to the next mediation primitive based on the result. The integration developer can use this primitive in conjunction with the Stop primitive to create a filter.
- XSLT, which transforms messages according to transformations defined by an XSL style sheet.
- DatabaseLookup, which searches values from a database and stores them as elements, identified by XPath expressions, in the message.
- MessageLogger, which logs an XML copy of the message to a database for future retrieval or audit. The integration developer customizes the message primitives (for example, by naming the database to be searched or by providing the XSL style sheet).
Ease of use
WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Integration Developer are designed to get you up and running quickly with comprehensive documentation, easy-to-understand samples, and compelling out-of-the-box experience. WebSphere Integration Developer delivers an easy-to-use tool that requires minimal programming skills to perform the typical tasks of an integration developer when modeling, testing, configuring, and deploying enterprise service bus-based applications. Integration developers declare interaction end points and, using graphical modeling tools in WebSphere Integration Developer, describe the envisioned interconnections between service requesters and providers.
In addition, the message flows between them along those connections often involving a set of mediations that need to be applied to make the interactions work. Mediation flows are assembled from a set of pre-defined mediation functions that are configured to perform the required message routing, enrichment, and transformation operations. Mediated interactions can be unit tested in the WebSphere Integration Developer environment before they are deployed in the WebSphere ESB runtime environment.
The WebSphere ESB administration console enables solution administrators to manage WebSphere ESB deployments with new role-based administration support that offers a simplified user experience for this user role as well as full access to the underlying WebSphere administration capabilities via progressive disclosure of functions.
Reduced time required to see a return on investment
WebSphere ESB delivers an entry-level, cost-effective solution for services integration; it supports implementation of the ESB architecture pattern which enables users to leverage existing IT investments by quickly building a flexible integration infrastructure to extend the value of existing investments. The product's extensive business and IT standards support facilitates greater interoperability and portability and allows you to utilize first-class support for hundreds of ISV solutions as well as extensive WebSphere Adapter support, including new JCA-based adapters. The complementary WebSphere Integration Developer tools considerably shorten the development cycle for message flows between integration end points; pre-supplied mediation functions allow message flows to be visually composed and include XML transformation, message logging, message filtering, database lookup, and custom.
WebSphere ESB managed interactions can be dynamically reconfigured to meet changing business processing loads by modifying interconnections and message flow interaction logic in WebSphere Integration Developer or to some degree in the WebSphere ESB administration console; interaction end points can be dynamically added or replaced without affecting the rest of the enterprise service bus-based applications.
Seamless integration with the WebSphere platform
WebSphere ESB fully leverages the capabilities of the underlying WebSphere Application Server and inherits its qualities of service, workload balancing, clustering, high availability, and scalability features. Through the deep integration with WebSphere Application Server it also inherits integration with Tivoli's security, directory, and systems management offerings and includes Tivoli® Access Manager (for optional use, to deliver a secure, unified, and personalized experience that will help manage growth and complexity) and Tivoli Directory (for optional use, as an LDAP server).
WebSphere ESB integrates with IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA for added monitoring and management capabilities. The product uses the common WebSphere Administrative Console to enable system management across WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere ESB, and WebSphere Process Server. Customers with the appropriate skills can take full advantage of the underlying capabilities of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
WebSphere ESB can be used in combination with an existing WebSphere MQ messaging installation to integrate new environments in an open, standards-based way; it interoperates with WebSphere Message Broker and that can be used to implement complex topologies, with WebSphere ESB handling standards-based Web service interactions and WebSphere Message Broker taking care of non-Web services application integration.
Because WebSphere ESB shares development and administration tools with WebSphere Process Server, it is easy to start building an SOA infrastructure on WebSphere ESB and add more advanced service composition and orchestration capabilities supported in WebSphere Process Server if and when they are required.
Finally, WebSphere ESB offers seamless integration with the WebSphere platform. Because it is built on top of the market-leading WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, WebSphere ESB leverages WebSphere qualities of service: clustering, fail-over, systems management, and security. Common tooling and administration means the move from WebSphere ESB to WebSphere Process Server is painless, and integration with IBM Tivoli security and systems management offerings delivers world-class security and systems management capability.

Charge metrics definitions
Processor
In Full Capacity charging — Proofs of Entitlement (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.
- Multicore 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 partition(s) 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

Sub-capacity for selected middleware products
Sub-capacity licensing on a per-processor basis is available for selected middleware products. To offer sub-capacity licensing, IBM software products implement IBM Tivoli License Manager within their offerings so that customers can monitor and report quarterly to IBM on their use of the programs on a continuous basis.
More information can be found on the Passport Advantage Web site
Eligibility requirements for sub-capacity licensing
To be eligible for Sub-capacity licensing terms on this product, you must agree to install and configure IBM Tivoli License Manager for IBM Software, in accordance with the IBM Tivoli License Manager publications, and to enable the collection of program use data on all eligible machines subject to Sub-capacity terms.
For those machines running programs with Sub-capacity licensing terms, you must use IBM Tivoli License Manager for IBM Software to monitor program use and submit to IBM an IBM Use Report each calendar quarter. Multiple copies of IBM Tivoli License Manager for IBM Software or IBM Tivoli License Manager are not required. You can use more copies if you need them to support your operational environment, but only one copy is required to monitor all your sub-capacity licensed products.
Additionally, if this is the first product you have licensed under sub-capacity terms, you must agree to the terms of an attachment to your Passport Advantage or Passport Advantage Express contract and submit a new Passport Advantage enrollment form. First-time Sub-capacity clients also have an opportunity to ensure a Primary Business Contact is established for their contracts.
For more information on required and entitled license capacity, license requirements and reporting refer to Software Announcement 205-093 , dated April 19, 2005.
If you order (this product) under sub-capacity terms, IBM Tivoli License Manager for IBM Software will be made available to you if you do not already have one. You must install and configure this tool for your sub-capacity products. Alternately, you can use Tivoli License Manager. Once the license manager software is installed, you will be required to register online (IBM may need to contact you in order to finalize the registration process). You must monitor program use on a continuous basis with an IBM Tivoli License Manager for IBM Software and submit IBM Use Reports to IBM on a calendar quarterly basis.

For one year from acquisition of the program, this warranty provides the customer with access to databases containing program information and FAQs, including any known fixes to defects, which the customer can download or otherwise obtain and install.
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.

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 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.

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 available on the IBM eServer® platform. These services offer the opportunity for 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 eServer 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 may result in 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.
