WebSphere Message
Broker V7.0 is easier to install and configure than previous versions because
there are fewer product components and prerequisite products to handle. The
broker database, Configuration Manager, and User Name Server are removed --
without a reduction in functionality. It is no longer necessary to install
an IBM DB2® product
on z/OS. WebSphere MQ
V7.0.1 is now the only prerequisite product.
On distributed platforms, WebSphere Message Broker is available in four modes
of operation, with options for capacity and functionality (priced accordingly),
that allow you to adopt the product incrementally. The modes are:
- Trial Edition, which allows you to use the product as a free, 90-day download.
- Starter Edition, an initial deployment that allows one execution group
and up to 10 message flows.
- Remote Adapter Deployment for use with the WebSphere Adapters for SAP Software,
PeopleSoft Enterprise, and Siebel Business Applications with the adapter and
transport nodes in two execution groups and Java for transformation facilities.
- Enterprise Edition for an established deployment with the full scope of
features and unrestricted capacity.
The single product package allows you to move progressively between the
modes by using the mqsimode command. The WebSphere Message Broker toolkit applies
to all modes and there is a single service package for ease of maintenance.
Compliance checking is performed on each mode and the user is told if they
are operating in an unlicensed mode, with a controlled shutdown of the product
in such a situation. Icons within the administration tooling and start-up
messages clearly indicate the mode of operation being used.
The WebSphere Message
Broker Explorer allows you to manage Message Broker and WebSphere MQ
artefacts from within a single console. The Explorer is based on the existing WebSphere MQ
Explorer, which means that your staff do not need to learn new skills to be
able to use it. It can be applied to message flows that are already defined
and used in previous versions of WebSphere Message Broker.
WebSphere Message
Broker supports patterns-based development so that you can create more connectivity
solutions such as Web Service facades, message-oriented processing, and queue-to-file
operations. The Patterns Explorer contains an inventory of key Message Broker
patterns that are available to help you generate solutions. The pattern generation
facility gives a simple way of creating message flows, message sets, and mappings
from supplied patterns.
Together, WebSphere MQ
and WebSphere Message
Broker deliver a comprehensive publish and subscribe facility, connecting
Message Broker's broad transport and format support to WebSphere MQ's messaging backbone. WebSphere Message
Broker extends the WebSphere MQ publish and subscribe functionality
with advanced function such as content-based publish and subscribe by means
of an enhanced Publication node. The two products share a common publish
and subscribe domain for topic- and content-based operations. There is a
migration process for publish and subscribe items from previous versions of WebSphere Message
Broker and WebSphere Event
Broker.
The SAP, Siebel, and PeopleSoft nodes have been enhanced to simplify promotion
through the test, quality assurance, and production life-cycle phases through
a new configurable service. The SAP nodes have a single program ID to allow
multiple IDocs to be handled by different message flows, synchronous RFC (sRFC)
via the new SAP Reply node, and high availability through SAP Input nodes.
The SCA Input, SCA Reply, SCA Request, and SCA Response nodes allow WebSphere Message
Broker to interoperate with WebSphere Process Server, in line with the SCA.
The Resequence node collects messages according the sequence number location
within the message. The Sequence node allows users to create new sequences
and sequence groups.
The PHPCompute node allow users to express message transformations quickly
and easily through the PHP dynamic scripting language.
WebSphere Service
Registry and Repository (WSRR) nodes deliver integrated support for WebSphere Service
Registry and Repository, allowing WebSphere Message Broker to use entity
(document) information for routing, dynamic transformation, and other types
of policy processing in up-to-date memory cache. WSRR nodes also support
the WebSphere MQ
Service Definition (in addition to Web services).
The IMSRequest node allows message flows to call IMS™ transactions and handle their responses,
delivering high-performance, synchronous, multiplatform access to IMS. The IMS node
also exploits the IMS TM Resource Adapter, where Configurable Services
allow operational control of the IMS connection configuration. (IBM Information
Management System (IMS), V9.1.0 must be installed.)
WebSphere Message
Broker V7.0 exploits the multi-instance queue manager capability that is delivered
in WebSphere MQ
V7.0.1, where WebSphere MQ
provides basic failover support without the need for a separate High Availability
coordinator. In most topologies, a separate High Availability coordinator
(for example, IBM HACMP™)
is no longer required.
WebSphere Message
Broker V7.0 allows you to generate monitoring and audit events from message
flows. Nodes have a Monitoring function that allows you to generate events,
including those that monitor and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs)
from WebSphere Business
Monitor.
Performance improvements include response times and memory and storage
usage. The footprint of the runtime component is reduced in terms of installation-time
disk space and start-up memory size.
The WebSphere Message
Broker toolkit has impact analysis functions that allows users to see how
changes to assets (for example, ESQL data, maps, XML, flows, and nodes) might
affect an application, through a compile, test, and fix life cycle before
changes are deployed.
Enhanced statistics, an extension of current accounting and statistical
information, allow operational staff to interpret the behavior of deployed
broker solutions so that they can understand operational characteristics without
having to refer to complex development items. The statistics provide comprehensive
reports of resources such as WebSphere MQ, JMS, HTTP, files, databases, and
parsers. Reporting mechanisms include a user-configurable reporting interval
and metrics (typically counts, maximum, minimum, and averages of activities
such as memory usage, requests processed, and thread counts).
Migration
The HP-UX on PA-RISC platform is no longer supported but WebSphere Message
Broker V7.0 delivers a migration path to the HP-UX on Itanium® platform.
Other WebSphere Message
Broker artefacts from V6.0 and V6.1 (for example, message flows, message sets,
ESQL data, Java, maps, and XSLT) are migrated without change.
Existing 32-bit execution groups are migrated automatically to 64-bit.
Migration commands handle configuration data (for example: broker databases,
queues, and registry). WebSphere Message Broker V7.0 can coexist with
V6.0 and V6.1 to enable incremental migration.
Platform support
In addition to functional enhancements, WebSphere Message Broker V7.0 supports
and exploits current platforms and operating environments. Java 6
is available on all supported platforms, delivering a 64-bit IBM J9 engine
for better Java performance -- including reduced start-up time
and footprint. Execution group size is 64-bit, as are all commands and z/OS address
spaces. Microsoft® Windows® support remains as 32-bit but
can be run on 64-bit hardware. Current® levels of industry-standard
databases (DB2,
Oracle, Sybase, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM Informix®) are supported.

Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act
WebSphere Message
Broker is capable, as of December 4, 2009, when used in accordance with IBM's
associated documentation, of satisfying the applicable requirements of Section
508 of the Rehabilitation Act, provided that any assistive technology used
with the product properly interoperates with it. A U.S. Section 508 Voluntary
Product Accessibility Template (VPAT), containing details on the products
accessibility compliance, can be requested at

Value Unit-based pricing
Value Unit pricing for eligible IBM System z® IBM International Program License Agreement
(IPLA) programs enables a lower cost of incremental growth and enterprise
aggregation. Each System z IPLA product with Value Unit pricing has
a single price per Value Unit and a conversion matrix, called Value Unit Exhibit,
for converting from some designated measurement to Value Units. Most commonly,
Millions of Service Units (MSUs) is the measurement designated by IBM to be converted
to Value Units. Some other measurements are engines or messages. Since MSUs
are the most common measurement, that measurement will be used for the remainder
of this description.
Value Unit pricing offers price benefits for you. For each System z IPLA
program with Value Unit pricing, the quantity of that program needed to satisfy
applicable IBM terms
and conditions is referred to as the required license capacity. Each
of the various Value Unit Exhibits stipulate that the larger your required
license capacity, the fewer Value Units per MSU you will need. Value Unit
Exhibits are uniquely identified by a three digit code and referred to using
the nomenclature VUExxx, where xxx is the three digit code.
Subsequent acquisitions of Value Unit priced programs offer additional
price benefits. The quantity of each System z IPLA program that you have
acquired is referred to as entitled license capacity. If you wish
to grow your entitled license capacity for a System z IPLA program, the calculation
to determine additional needed Value Units is based upon the number of Value
Units already acquired.
For each System
z IPLA program with Value Unit pricing, you should:
- Determine the required license capacity, in MSUs
- Aggregate the MSUs across the enterprise
- Convert the total MSUs to Value Units, using the applicable Value Unit
Exhibit
- Multiply the price per Value Unit by the total number of Value Units to
determine the total cost
To simplify conversion from the designated measurement to Value Units or
vice-versa, use the Value Unit Converter Tool. For additional information
or to obtain a copy of the Value Unit Converter Tool, visit the Value Unit
Converter Tool Web site
- http://ibm.com/zseries/swprice/vuctool
Note that Value Units of a given product cannot be exchanged, interchanged,
or aggregated with Value Units of another product.
To determine the required license capacity for the System z IPLA program you selected,
refer to the Terms and conditionssection.

Market-leading application integration software from IBM, including WebSphere MQ
and WebSphere Message
Broker, helps you:
- Quickly and economically address business integration issues
- Become more agile and take rapid advantage of new business opportunities
- Stay flexible
- Maintain customer orientation
- Gain competitive position advantage
WebSphere Message
Broker allows you to maximize flexibility as an integrated, On Demand Business
by:
- Leveraging existing resources much more widely than was part of their
original design
- Improving speed of implementation of changes to applications to respond
to new opportunities, ensuring that application design and changes are focused
on business logic rather than infrastructure details
- Anticipating and rapidly implementing IT changes as your business changes
SOA and an ESB
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.
As key members of the 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 ESB. 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.
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 ESB with reliable connectivity throughout
the enterprise. WebSphere Application
Server messaging resources provide an optimal JMS implementation for use with
J2EE-hosted applications. WebSphere MQ seamlessly extends those messaging
resources to non-J2EE environments to integrate with virtually anything, across
more than 80 platform configurations.
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. You can integrate many application types
on a wide range of systems, exchanging their data together in real time.
WebSphere software
delivers integration capabilities that enable you to begin reaping the benefits
of SOA with connectivity and integration through an ESB 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 SOA solutions. It will continue to
do so as IBM delivers
enhanced capabilities to accelerate the deployment of an integration infrastructure
that spans the entire IT ecosystem.

The charge units used for WebSphere Message Broker for z/OS are based
on Value Units, depending on the Measured System Usage (MSU) level of the
server on which the Message Broker is installed. MSU tiers are applied and
the cumulative Value Unit/MSU rate determines the charge.
For information on value units, refer to the Ordering information section.
Entry option for z800 and z900 servers
WebSphere Message
Broker for z/OS is
eligible for the Entry Option for z800 and z900 servers pricing. The Addendum

to Software Announcement 203-093, dated April 8, 2003.
Processor Value Unit (PVU)
PVU is a unit of measure by which this software product can be licensed.
PVU entitlements are based on processor technology (defined within the PVU
table* by processor vendor, brand, type and model number). IBM continues
to define a processor, for purposes of PVU-based licensing, to be each processor
core on a chip. Each software product has a unique price per PVU. To determine
the total cost of deploying an individual software product in a specific hardware
environment, you must take the following steps:
- For each processor core in the hardware environment on which the software
product is to be licensed, determine the PVU requirement based on its processor
technology per the PVU table1
- The PVU requirements for all processor cores in the hardware environment.
- Multiply the software product's price per PVU by the total number of PVUs
required as determined in step 2 above.
PVU entitlements are specific to a software product and may not be exchanged,
interchanged, or aggregated with PVU entitlements of another software product.
Unless you have deployed eligible sub-capacity products according to the
sub-capacity1 terms, you must obtain PVU Proof of Entitlements
(PoEs) for the maximum number of activated2 physical processor
cores in the hardware environment made available to, or managed by, the software
product. This is also referred to as full capacity licensing.
- 1
- For information regarding PVU and sub-capacity licensing, including the
latest PVU table, visit
- http://www.ibm.com/software/lotus/passportadvantage/ pvu_licensing_for_customers.html
- 2
- Activated processor cores are physical processor cores that are available
for use in a server. They include processor cores:
- That are activated (available for use) when the server is shipped by the
manufacturer
- That are activated subsequently through activation codes purchased from
the server manufacturer by the customer
- Whose capacity can be limited by the customer through virtualization technologies,
operating system commands and BIOS settings.
The z/OS program

The total number of Value Units is calculated according to the following
example.
If your required license capacity is 1,500 MSUs for your selected System z IPLA
product, the applicable Value Units would be:
Translation from MSUs to Value Units
MSUs * Value Units/MSU = Value Units
Base 3 * 1.00 = 3.00
Tier A 42 * .45 = 18.90
Tier B 130 * .36 = 46.80
Tier C 140 * .27 = 37.80
Tier D 1,185 * .20 = 237.00
Total 1,500 343.50
When calculating the total number of Value Units, the sum is to be rounded
up to the next integer.

Subscription and Support
To receive voice technical support via telephone and future releases and
versions at no additional charge, Subscription and Support must be ordered.
The capacity of Subscription and Support (Value Units) must be the same as
the capacity ordered for the product licenses.
To order, specify the Subscription and Support program number (PID) referenced
above and the appropriate license or charge option.
IBM is
also providing Subscription and Support for these products via a separately
purchased offering under the terms of the IBM International Agreement for Acquisition
of Software Maintenance (IAASM). This offering:
- Includes and extends the support services provided in the base support
to include technical support via telephone.
- Entitles you to future releases and versions, at no additional charge.
Note that you are not entitled to new products.
When Subscription and Support is ordered, the charges will renew automatically
annually unless cancelled by you.
The combined effect of the IPLA license and the Agreement for Acquisition
of Software Maintenance gives you rights and support services comparable to
those under the traditional ICA S/390® and zSeries license or its equivalent.
To ensure that you continue to enjoy the level of support you are used to
in the ICA business model, you must order both the license for the
program and the support for the selected programs at the same Value
Unit quantities.
Single version charging
To elect single version charging, you must notify and identify to IBM the prior
program and replacement program, and the machine the programs are operating
on.
Customized Offerings
Product deliverables are shipped only via Customized Offerings (for example,
CBPDO, ServerPac, SystemPac®).
CBPDO and ServerPac are offered for Internet delivery, where ShopzSeries
product ordering is available. Internet delivery of ServerPac may help improve
automation and software delivery time. For more details on Internet delivery,
refer to the ShopzSeries help information at
- http://www.software.ibm.com/ShopzSeries
Media type for this software product is chosen during the Customized Offerings
ordering process. Based on your customer environment, it is recommended that
the highest possible density tape media is selected. Currently offered media
types are:
- CBPDOs - 3480, 3480 Compressed, 3490E, 3590, and 35923
- ServerPacs - 3480, 3480 Compressed, 3490E, 3590, and 35923
- SystemPacs - 3480, 3480 Compressed, 3490E, 3590, and 35923
- 3
- 3592 is highest density media. Selecting 3592 will ship the fewest number
of media.
Once a product becomes generally available, it will be included in the
next ServerPac and SystemPac monthly update.
Production of software product orders will begin on the planned general
availability date.
- CBPDO shipments will begin one week after general availability.
- ServerPac shipments will begin two weeks
after inclusion in ServerPac.
- SystemPac shipments
will begin four weeks after inclusion in SystemPac due to additional customization,
and data input verification.

Broker for z/OS
Full-capacity mainframes
In cases where full capacity is applicable, the following terms apply.
Execution-based, z/OS-based , full-machine-based: The required capacity
of a System
z IPLA program with these terms equals the MSU-rated capacity of the
machines where the System z IPLA program executes.
For more information on mainframe MSU-rated capacities, visit
- http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/zseries/library/swpriceinfo/
Reference-based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA
program with these terms equals the license capacity of the applicable monthly
license charge (MLC) program. This MLC program is called the parent program.
Sub-capacity mainframes
In cases where sub-capacity is applicable, the following terms apply.
Execution-based: The required capacity of a System z IPLA sub-capacity program
with these terms equals the capacity of the LPARs where the System z IPLA
program executes.
z/OS-based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms
equals the license capacity of z/OS (and z/OS.e) on the machines where the System z IPLA
program executes.
Reference-based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA program with these terms
equals the license capacity of the applicable monthly license charge (MLC)
program. This MLC program is called the parent program.
Full-machine-based: The required license capacity of a System z IPLA
program with full-machine-based terms equals the MSU-rated capacity of the
machines where the System z IPLA program executes.
For more information on mainframe MSU-rated capacities, refer to The System/370™, System/390®,
and System
z Machine Exhibit (Z125-3901), or visit the Mainframes section of the System
z Exhibits Web site
- http://ibm.com/zseries/library/swpriceinfo/
For more information on sub-capacity System z IPLA terms and conditions,
refer to Software Announcement 204-184, dated August 10, 2004.
For additional information for products with reference-based terms, System
z IPLA sub-capacity programs with reference-based terms adds value to
the parent program across the environment, regardless of where in the environment
the System
z IPLA program executes.
An environment is defined as either a single or stand-alone machine or
a qualified Parallel
Sysplex®. You may have one or more different environments across the
enterprise. To determine the required license capacity for each System z IPLA
program with referenced-based terms, each environment should be assessed separately.
When a System
z IPLA sub-capacity program with reference-based terms is used in a qualified Parallel
Sysplex environment, the required license capacity of the System z IPLA
program must equal with the license capacity of the parent program across
the Parallel
Sysplex. Qualified Parallel Sysplex refers to one:
- That meets the criteria defined in Hardware Announcement 198-001, dated January 13, 1998
- Where MLC pricing is aggregated across the Sysplex
Sub-capacity eligibility
To be eligible for sub-capacity charging on select System z IPLA programs, you must first
implement and comply with all terms of either sub-capacity Workload License
Charges (WLC) or sub-capacity Entry Workload License Charges (EWLC). To implement
sub-capacity WLC or EWLC, a machine must be System z (or equivalent). On that
machine:
- All instances of the OS/390® operating system must be migrated to the z/OS (or z/OS.e)
operating systems
- Any licenses for the OS/390 operating system must be discontinued
- All instances of the z/OS operating (or z/OS.e) systems must be running in z/Architecture® (64-bit)
mode
For that machine, you must create and submit a Sub-Capacity Report to IBM each
month. Sub-Capacity Reports must be generated using the Sub-Capacity Reporting
Tool (SCRT). For additional information or to obtain a copy of SCRT, visit
the System
z Software Pricing Web site
- http://ibm.com/zseries/swprice
You must comply with all of the terms of the WLC or EWLC offering, whichever
is applicable:
- The complete terms and conditions of sub-capacity WLC are defined in the IBM Customer
Agreement - Attachment for System z Workload License Charges (Z125-6516).
- The complete terms and conditions for sub-capacity EWLC are defined in
the IBM Customer
Agreement - Attachment for IBM eServer System z 890 and 800 License Charges
(Z125-6587).
Additionally, you must sign and comply with the terms and conditions specified
in the amendment to the IPLA contract - Amendment for IBM System z9® and eServer zSeries Programs Sub-Capacity Pricing
(Z125-6929). Once the amendment is signed, the terms in the amendment replace
any and all previous System z IPLA sub-capacity terms and conditions.
IBM Getting
Started Sub-capacity Pricing for z/OS IPLA Software applies.
Sub-capacity utilization determination
Sub-capacity utilization is determined based on the product's own execution
as reported to IBM in
accordance with the requirements for reporting sub-capacity utilization for
products.
On/Off Capacity on Demand (CoD)
To be eligible for On/Off CoD pricing, you must be enabled for temporary
capacity on the corresponding hardware, and the required contract, Attachment
for Customer Initiated Upgrade and IBM eServer On/Off Capacity on Demand - Software
(Z125-6611) must be signed prior to use.

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.
