Overview

WebSphere Process Server is at the heart of your business process management (BPM) solutions. It is designed to ensure that the processes you design in WebSphere Business Modeler or WebSphere Integration Developer are executed consistently, reliably, securely, and with transactional integrity. Built on open standards, WebSphere Process Server deploys and executes processes that orchestrate services (people, information, systems, and trading partners) within your service oriented architecture (SOA) or non-SOA infrastructure. When combined with the power of WebSphere Business Monitor, processes can be optimized to meet changing business requirements, giving the business a competitive advantage. WebSphere Process Server is built upon, and contains, WebSphere ESB functionality. Refer to the Description section for new features.

WebSphere Integration Developer is the user-friendly authoring environment for end-to-end integration in your SOA. It is the Eclipse-based tool for building SOA-based BPM and integration solutions across WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere ESB, and WebSphere Adapters. It simplifies integration with rich features that accelerate the adoption of SOA by rendering existing IT assets as service components, encouraging reuse and efficiency. WebSphere Integration Developer enables integration developers to assemble complex business solutions -- whether processes, mediations, adapters, or code components -- using drag-and-drop technology to define, in a visual way, the sequence and flow of business processes. The supplied visual editors minimize the need to write code. Refer to the Description section for new features.

WebSphere ESB is a flexible connectivity infrastructure for integrating applications and services, designed to enable the development of an SOA. Built on top of WebSphere Application Server for an integrated SOA platform, WebSphere ESB delivers a standards-based connectivity and integration solution that allows you to create and deploy interactions quickly and easily between applications and services, with a reduced number and complexity of interfaces. You can focus on your core business, rather than on your IT. Refer to the Description section for new features.

Media Extender for WebSphere ESB provides "media-aware" service mediation facilities that can be used as components of IBM's Media Hub Solution Framework. They form part of a solution to enable business transformation by linking business and content systems together for effective media management. It can radically simplify and optimize the construction of media-oriented integration projects and workflows. The three mediation primitives can be used to enable complex decision making based on media formats, service connectivity, and resource availability. The primitives are programmed using WebSphere Integration Developer, resulting in customized ESB mediations. When deployed into WebSphere ESB, these mediations dynamically resolve detailed media transformation and movement requirements. They can be used as simple services in business workflow models, hiding the complexity of media processing.

WebSphere Adapters help with business integration by connecting application and information assets to the ESB. They accelerate business integration projects with rapidly deployable, enterprise-ready connections based on best practices. The WebSphere Adapter portfolio provides a comprehensive set of capabilities to service-enable your assets, including packaged, custom, and legacy applications, technology protocols, and databases.

Description

WebSphere Process Server

WebSphere Process Server delivers a unique integration framework that can simplify existing IT resources. Often, as IT assets grow to support business demand, so too does their complexity and manageability. WebSphere Process Server helps deliver an SOA infrastructure with one common model to orchestrate, mediate, connect, map, and execute the underlying IT functions. With this, WebSphere Process Server is designed to simplify the integration of business processes by leveraging existing IT assets as reusable services, but without the complexities associated with traditional integration methodologies. Business flexibility is achieved through standardizing, automating, and integrating key business processes and managing the performance of these processes.

One of the biggest challenges for businesses is to have the agility to respond on demand to business processes. Unlike traditional integration methodologies, WebSphere Process Server allows you to respond dynamically to business demands and adapt to business conditions. This is accomplished with rich features like business rules, business state machines, and interface mapping. Its open standards-based services architecture allows clients to change underlying IT assets, with minimal impact on business processes. This orchestration of your business assets into highly optimized and effective processes will meet your business goals, whether you need to automate processes in the factory, process claims and financial payments, execute an efficient supply chain, or ensure compliance with the latest industry regulations.

WebSphere Process Server is part of an entire integration platform that reaches to the very core of business applications such as SAP and Oracle by using predefined business and technology WebSphere Adapters.

WebSphere Process Server is built using a common platform and tools that inherit the capabilities of WebSphere ESB and WebSphere Application Server, which provide rich capability. It also exploits technology from other IBM brands such as DB2®, IBM Tivoli®, IBM Lotus®, and IBM Rational®, as well as third-party platforms such as Microsoft®.NET and Java™.

SOA, ESB, and BPM

In an SOA, a connectivity layer, often referred to as an 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.

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 ESB. Other users may find that by extending 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, WebSphere Message Broker, and WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances enable your users 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 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 ESB with reliable connectivity throughout the enterprise for connecting and integrating virtually any type of application or system. WebSphere Application Server messaging resources provide a best-of-breed 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 platform configurations. WebSphere ESB can make use of both types of messaging environment as required.

WebSphere ESB delivers an ESB 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, based around an interactive visual environment. To create a true ESB, 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 provided by WebSphere ESB.

BPM with SOA allows you to separate 'what you do' from 'how you do it'. Abstracting the definition of the business processes from how those processes are executed gives businesses greater responsiveness and flexibility. This separation allows for changes to the business process without significant reengineering of the underlying technology and, conversely, allows for changes to the technology infrastructure without impacting the business process.

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 ESB 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 adds integration capabilities that enable you to begin reaping the benefits of SOAs and begin deploying end-to-end environments that provide the benefits of an ESB 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 ESBs that span the entire IT ecosystem.

WebSphere Process Server is the flagship WebSphere process integration offering for SOA. It is the single process integration server to support all styles of integration based on SOA. WebSphere Process Server allows developers to create composite applications in an SOA environment. It is the single process server for all your process choreography needs.

WebSphere Process Server is the run-time engine for IBM's BPM portfolio. The IBM BPM suite enables you to model, assemble, deploy, and monitor end-to-end business workflows. WebSphere Process Server enables the life cycle of a business process with integration with WebSphere Business Modeler and WebSphere Business Monitor.

You can import, design, and analyze business processes using WebSphere Business Modeler. With WebSphere Process Server, you can then execute business processes in an SOA environment. Through WebSphere Business Monitor, you can get real-time visibility into business process performance.

WebSphere Process Server also enables:

• Interoperability with the WebSphere portfolio: WebSphere software offers a compelling set of capabilities for people, information, and application integration. WebSphere Process Server seamlessly integrates with these capabilities.
• Interoperability with non-IBM products: WebSphere Process Server allows you to interoperate with non-WebSphere applications using open-standards and a rich set of adapters.
• Integrating your Business Partner community using industry protocols: WebSphere Partner Gateway, with its rich set of industry-specific services, is packaged with WebSphere Process Server.

Web Services and SOA for i5/OS® (5722-SS1 Option 3)

The i5/OS operating system integrates a Web services server for Integrated Language Environment® (ILE) and enables the latest SOA technologies on i5/OS. i5/OS is an SOA-ready system that embeds a Web services server directly into i5/OS and enables the i5/OS programming model to leverage the latest advancements for SOA.

The integrated Web services server is an ILE starting step for Web Services and SOA on the IBM System i® platform. This server is an i5/OS functional enhancement making Web Services and SOA interoperability easier. The Web services server supports the consumption and externalization of services within the ILE programming environment. The Web Services server embeds a Web service engine and run-time integrated within the IBM System i architecture.

The integrated Web application server integrates an Open System Gateway Initiative (OSGi)-based Web servlet container with the i5/OS operating system. This Web container provides the basics for applications to be up and running quickly and effectively on the Web. The integrated Web application server is a good place to prototype new applications or run existing small footprint or low-use applications. For applications that require a high degree of scalability, WebSphere Application Server Express is recommended. The integrated Web application server can be considered as an entry to the more scalable solution.

Charge metrics definitions

Processor Value Unit (PVU)

PVU is the unit of measure by which this program is licensed. PVU entitlements are based on processor families (vendors and brands). A Proof of Entitlement (PoE) must be obtained for the appropriate number of PVUs based on the level or tier of all processor cores activated and available for use by the Program on the server. Some programs allow licensing to less than the full capacity of the server's activated processor cores, sometimes referred to as sub-capacity licensing. For programs which offer sub-capacity licensing, if a server is partitioned utilizing eligible partitioning technologies, then a PoE must be obtained for the appropriate number of PVUs based on all activated processor cores available for use in each partition where the program runs or is managed by the program. Refer to the International Passport Advantage Agreement Attachment for Sub-Capacity Terms or the program's License Information to determine applicable sub-capacity terms. The PVU entitlements are specific to the program and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with PVU entitlements of another program.

For general overview of PVUs for processor families (vendors and brands), go to

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/ pvu_licensing_for_customers.html

To calculate the exact PVU entitlements required for the program, go to

https://www-112.ibm.com/software/howtobuy/passportadvantage/ valueunitcalculator/vucalc.wss

Authorized User

Authorized User is the unit of measure by which this program is licensed. An Authorized User is an individual (named or unnamed) within or outside of your enterprise. The program may be installed on one or more computers or servers and accessed by the number of users authorized by the Proof of Entitlement (PoE).

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

http://www.ibm.com/software/passportadvantage

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.

IBM Tivoli License Manager for IBM Software is documented in the following customer publications, which are available from IBM Publications Center at

Terms and conditions

The information provided in this announcement letter is for reference and convenience purposes only. The terms and conditions that govern any transaction with IBM are contained in the applicable contract documents such as the IBM International Program License Agreement, IBM International Passport Advantage Agreement, and the IBM Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance.

Licensing

IBM International Program License Agreement including the License Information document and Proof of Entitlement (PoE) govern your use of the Program. PoEs are required for all authorized use.

The program's License Information will be available for review on the IBM Software License Agreement Web site

http://www.ibm.com/software/sla/sladb.nsf

Limited warranty applies

Yes

Warranty

IBM warrants that when the Program is used in the specified operating environment, it will conform to its specifications. The warranty applies only to the unmodified portion of the Program. IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Program or that IBM will correct all Program defects. You are responsible for the results obtained from the use of the Program.

IBM provides you with access to IBM databases containing information on known Program defects, defect corrections, restrictions, and bypasses at no additional charge. Consult the IBM Software Support Handbook for further information at

http://www.ibm.com/support/handbook

IBM will maintain this information for at least one year after the original licensee acquires the program (warranty period).

Program technical support

Technical support of a program product will be available for a minimum of five 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. You 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, you may obtain a refund of the amount you paid for it, if within 30 days of your invoice date you return the program and its PoE to the party from whom you obtained it. If you downloaded the program, you may contact the party from whom you acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.

• For programs acquired under the IBM International Passport Advantage Agreement, this term applies only to your first acquisition of the program.

• For programs acquired under any of IBM's On/Off CoD software offerings, this term does not apply since these offerings apply to programs already acquired and in use by you.

Authorization for use on home/portable computer

The program may be stored on the primary machine and another machine, provided that the program is not in active use on both machines at the same time. You may not copy and use this program on another computer without paying additional license fees.

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.
