This white paper provides a basis for parameter and application tuning for IBM® WebSphere® Portal for Multiplatforms Version 6.1. Remember that both tuning and capacity are affected by many factors, including the workload scenario and the performance measurement environment. For tuning, the objective of this paper is not to recommend that you use the values we used when measuring our scenarios, but to make you aware of those parameters used in our configuration. When tuning your individual systems, it is im

Business Intelligence (BI) is defined as the technology used to extract useful information from the vast amount of data that a business has been collecting over time. The information extracted can then be used by decision makers to guide their business to success. Figuring out the hardware and software needed to build BI configurations is a complicated and time-consuming process. IBM has built some reference configurations and tested them to provide clients with guidelines when sizing their BI configurations. This Redguide is the second in a series that describes Business Intelligence reference configurations which scale with database size. The first one covered reference configurations at a constant database size.

The IBM® WebSphere® eXtreme Scale product provides a powerful, elastic, high-performance, and scalable in-memory data grid. This paper will help IT architects understand how this data grid can be used to enhance application performance and scalability. It introduces the concepts behind eXtreme Scale and shows how it addresses the challenges of scalability and throughput found in today's business applications. You will find information on entry points for integrating WebSphere eXtreme Scale into your environment, and a decision tree to help you select the features of eXtreme Scale that are especially suitable for improving performance in your environment. This paper takes you through a number of application scenarios to illustrate the benefits that eXtreme Scale can provide. And finally, it provides an in-depth architectural discussion to help you understand how the product works and how it is integrated into an existing application environment. This paper is a follow-on to Users Guide to WebSphere eXtreme Scale, SG24-7683 , updating the architectural content for WebSphere eXtreme Scale V7. The technical portion of that book is still relevant and can be used as a guide to the implementation of eXtreme Scale.

IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business can manage and enforce access control to Web based resources located on Web servers or Web application servers. It uses "junctions" to identify and address those servers. When a user wants to access those resources, the browser uses a set of URL links that have to be translated because the back-end Web server use different links. In this IBM Redpaper we explain how Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL processes URLs from the back-end server and the client. This IBM Redpaper is intended to help implementors and system administrators who need to configure Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL to protect back-end Web servers.

When troubleshooting IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business it is often required to obtain and analyze the traces of HTTP connections. In this IBM Redpaper you will learn how to obtain such traces, and how to interpret them. This Redpaper can help implementors and system administrators who need to solve problems with Tivoli Access Manager for e-business.

IBM® recognizes the requirement for data protection, not only from hardware or software failures, but also from physical relocation of hardware, theft, and re-tasking of existing hardware. The IBM DS8700® Series offers encrypted Fibre Channel drives. These Full Disk Encryption drive sets are used with key management services provided by IBM Tivoli® Key Lifecycle Manager software (TKLM) to allow encryption for data at rest on a DS8700 Storage System. Use of encryption technology has a number of considerations that are critical for you to understand in order to maintain the security and accessibility of encrypted data. This IBM Redpaper™ publication contains information that can help customers and storage administrators plan for disk encryption. It also explains how to install and manage the encrypted storage. More importantly, this paper documents how to comply with IBM requirements for using the IBM DS8700 encrypted storage.

This paper describes the process for deploying the Rational® Requirement Composer Server when the Rational Team Concert Server is already installed on either WebSphere Application Server or Apache Tomcat Server.

This IBM® Redpaper™ publication is one in a series of service-oriented architecture (SOA) papers that feature a case study that involves a fictitious company called JKHL Enterprises (JKHLE). In this paper, we focus on the banking division of JKHLE titled JKHL Bank. The focus of the case study in this paper is the banking industry sector and how organizations can use SOA to construct solutions that improve top line growth, reduce costs, reduce operational risks, and improve customer experience. In this paper, we specifically focus on the Core Banking and Customer Care and Insight aspects of banking.
