WebSphere Message Broker with Rules and Formatter Extension for zOS

Features and benefits

IBM WebSphere Message Broker with Rules and Formatter Extension V6.1 supports the following key capabilities and benefits:

Platform-independent based Enterprise Service Bus

• Distribute any type of information across and between multiple diverse systems and applications, providing delivery of the right information in the right format at the right time
• Provide continuity and compatibility for existing customers who require IBM Rules and Formatter nodes
• Reduce point-to-point interconnections and simplify application programming through separation of integration logic from the applications and from process logic
• Powerful publish-and-subscribe matching engine routes information in real time based on topic and content to any endpoint
• Validate and transform messages in-flight between any combination of different message formats, including Web Services, other XML and non-XML formats
• Route messages based on (evaluated) business rules to match information content and business processes
• Improve business agility by dynamically reconfiguring information distribution patterns without reprogramming end-point applications
• Access control to securely deliver personalized information to the right place at the right time
• Additional function now available to provide integration with WebSphere Service Registry and Repository, for improved SOA governance

Web Services support

• Mediates (provides routing, transformation and logging) between Web Service requesters and providers
• Mediates between Web Services and other integration models as both a service requester and a service provider
• Works with the latest implementations of standards such as WSDL (Web Services Definition Language), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), JMS (Java Message Service) and HTTP (Hypertext Transport Protocol)
• Use as part of a Service Oriented Architecture to enhance application reuse and development productivity
• New toolkit support for drag and drop of WSDL, speeding invocation of Web Services or processing WSDL messages
• Build flows directly from existing WSDL definitions and XML Schema Definitions

Integration without bounds with connectivity and transformation capabilities

• Integrated WebSphere MQ transports - for Enterprise, Mobile, Real-Time, Multicast and Telemetry end points - extend the reach, scope and scale of the enterprise integration bus, out to mobile and handheld devices, along with embedded devices such as sensors or actuators.
• Enable the secure and seamless interaction of enterprise applications with thousands of users within the Intranet and across the Internet
• Extend business integration to the mobile, wireless and telemetry environments from the smallest sensor to the latest PDA
• Use multicast to optimize network utilization when broadcasting information such as real-time market data
• Provide native JMS interoperability, acting as a bridge between any combination of different JMS providers.

Improved performance and lower cost of ownership

• Lower cost of message parsing with pre-built message definitions and a new WSDL importer to simplify the calling of Web services from within the flow
• Reduced Message Repository Manager (MRM) and XML parsers storage requirements allow for processing of larger messages
• Improved throughput using new versions of the aggregation nodes
• ESQL and publish/subscribe functions have been optimized
• Overall performance and throughput across most message flows greatly improved by a significant percentage
• Option to use Java for processing and transformation allows for off-loading of this function onto zAAP processors for zSeries implementation

Extend your infrastructure with broader reach and applicability

• Extend an existing WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Event Broker infrastructure
• Centralized administration of distributed Message Brokers and Event Brokers improves flexibility and control, now with optional administration of Brokers through the WebSphere MQ administration tooling
• Allow more granular security with database userid/password support
• Available on IBM z/OS, IBM AIX, Linux (zSeries and xSeries), Solaris, HP/UX and Microsoft Windows Server
• Support DB2 UDB 8.2, SQL Server 2000 (SP3a), Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g, and Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE)12.5
• Accounting and statistics reports support usage based charges and performance analysis for internal business charging

Improve developer productivity

• Eclipse-based Message Broker Toolkit compatible with Rational Application Developer V6 and available on Windows and Linux
• Data transformation options to match the data format and the developer skill set
• New wizards to simplify artifact creation when incorporating new message targets and sources
• Standards based metadata including XML Schema and Web Services Definition Language
• Graphical message metadata and mapping definition
• Improved visual debugging of flows, ESQL, Java, and graphical mappings for more rapid movement from development, to test, to deployment
• One-click install to add new samples and demos for better awareness and guidance of product features and capabilities
• Context-sensitive editor and help facility
• Rapid testing with single click execution
• Rapid deployment and administration
• Enables custom message processing extensions in Java and C
• Product Extensions previously available from IBM as downloads now packaged with the product and available through a one-click install option
