| Description |
|
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 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.
- Support for graphical viewing of relationships between services and related data, to visualize the complex relationships between services and related metadata (or artifacts) stored in WebSphere Service Registry and Repository. Graphical representation makes it easier to understand the impact of making changes, a much more intuitive way to interact with the SOA metadata with enriched information.
- Support for Derby database (development environment only) to enable quick testing of your run-time mediations assembled using WebSphere Integration Developer or WebSphere Process Server with new support for the WebSphere Service Registry and Repository unit test environment. Small footprint and easy setup of Derby database also enable quick setup of test environments.
- Tighter integration with WebSphere Business Services Fabric to ensure consistency among business models and classification systems across your business services in WebSphere Business Services Fabric and corresponding IT services in WebSphere Service Registry and Repository. Provides comprehensive service information — both at a technical level and at the business service level — enabling tighter linkage for service-oriented business solutions (composite applications).
- Enhanced governance of services through the new promotion model to leverage the automated promotion model support between WebSphere Service Registry and Repository instances for sophisticated service life-cycle and environment support.
- Service Discovery capabilities for services deployed on WebSphere Application Server and .NET servers: New Service Discovery engines extract Web services description files that enable governing deployed services.
- New capability that enables representing MQ endpoints as first-class services, promoting reuse and optimization of WebSphere MQ services.
-
Document support feature that lets you annotate services with any form of document (for example,
Word, PowerPoint, Visio, Excel), including:
- Store a binary or generic document as a new type of document
- Relate it to another entity that it describes using the existing relationship facility
- Retrieve and update documentation associated with the service
- 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. 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. Better align IT to meet business needs by outlining business tasks and the corresponding IT services. WebSphere Service Registry and Repository supports 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 supports discovery and reuse of services and the associated metadata and artifacts.
- Deliver services interoperability. Make 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 includes 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 brings 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 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.

Sub-capacity for selected middleware products
Sub capacity licensing on a per processor or per Value Unit basis is available for selected middleware products. To offer sub-capacity licensing, IBM software products implement IBM Tivoli® License Compliance Manager within their offerings so that you can monitor and report quarterly to IBM on the 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 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.

| IBM Electronic Services |
|
IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used 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 Electronic Service Agent™ is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It
monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined
timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early
knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in
higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service
Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions
or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting
enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
