Extend the Reach of Existing Applications Expose existing applications without change SOAP & Web 2.0 based access to existing systems Create a gateway for routing and security INBOUND and OUTBOUND scenarios SOAP Web Services Established as Interoperability Standard – SOAP support allows MB to act as WS-* façade to existing non WS-* applications • Support for SOAP/HTTP and SOAP/JMS (any), includes transactions & asynchronous processing – SOAP gateway functionality for WSDL-less, policy based processing in large web service networks • Examples range from simple service re-direct to payload verify/sign, encrpyt/decprypt with routing
Web 2.0/REST Provides Lightweight Universal Access – HTTP ubiquity & REST semantic provide universal access to existing systems – Popular with both XML and JSON payloads (JSON for lightweight clients)

MB

WS


Outbound Scenarios enable Existing Applications to request New Services clients – Existing application can invoke and exploit new services with existing technology

provider


Typical Customers – US Payroll Corp. exposes MQ applications via self service SOAP interface for responsiveness & accuracy – WW (US based) Airline access external web services from existing JMS/MQ reservation system – US Wireless Operator expose legacy billing systems via HTTP/XML for customer self service – Swedish Banking group uses gateway to authenticate, lookup, authorize & route to backend web service 12

Connect File and Online for End-to-End Efficiency Share the valuable business data in your files Create an efficient pipeline between your file data and on-line applications Control a well managed, flexible file infrastructure
Streamline batch oriented and on-line processing with the MB – Message Broker provides end-to-end file processing: gets stationary data moving! – Typical scenarios are file to queue, database to file, file to file, file to SAP, File PubSub… – Comprehensive file systems support includes local files, network mounted file, FTP and SFTP – Process whole-file or record-at-a-time; simple delimiters to complex COBOL, XML & user defined
Timely, Intelligent, Transactional Transfers with FTE nodes – FTE Input and FTE output nodes allow MB to receive and send FTE transfers – Installed seamlessly as part of regular install, auto configured client name, transfer directories etc. – Timely processing: file is processed once FTE agent confirms notifies of complete file transfer – Add intelligence to your file processing via user specified metadata – FTE’s transactional underpinning & MB sequencing for once-and-once only files!
2011 Sterling C:D Integration – MB and C:D MFT can now integrate seamlessly – Exploits C:D specific capabilities including C:D process steps
Typical Customers – German Retailer uses MB & FTE for POS reporting to HQ & price list distribution to store – NE US Retailer using FTE & MB to provide timely inventory updates to and from online systems 13

Connect Devices to the Enterprise Monitor remote systems and devices Provide near real-time insight about physical systems, and act
Industry Observation – “How to we get information from everywhere, understand it, and act?” – Medical, Energy and Utilities, Distribution, Transport, Gaming… – Issues based e.g. traffic congestion, efficient energy, timely supply…
A Smarter Planet is full of devices – Data is generated *outside* the enterprise • Typically very large numbers of devices: • Often concentrator technology; differentiate, integrate & forward – MQTT for standards based device integration • Small footprint client, embeddable, Low bandwidth cost • Fragile network support for hostile environments
MB to Connect Devices, Apply Intelligence – Connects MQTT devices to enterprise systems – Apply intelligence in near real-time; systems tend to be passive today

IBM is working with Brisbane, London, Singapore and Stockholm to deploy smarter traffic systems. Stockholm has seen approximately 20 percent less traffic, a 12 percent drop in emissions and a reported 40,000 additional daily users of public transportation.


Typical Customers – US Medical and Technology services company monitors pacemakers for home health – Swedish city congestion charging, traffic calming and pollution reduction 14

Get the Most from Packaged Applications Provide broad access to EIS systems Move information to and from packaged systems
Packaged Applications Provide Best of Breed Business Function – SAP for purchasing, sales, inventory… – SEBL for Sales, PeopleSoft for HR – Oracle, JDEdwards…etc
Interfaces are often non standard: e.g. SAP BAPIs, IDOCs – Processing and data are isolated from other applications – Result: packaged apps have difficultly using/generating information for other apps – Inhibits adoption of a best of breed philosophy
Support for SAP, SEBL, PeopleSoft, JDEdwards… inbound and outbound – Connectivity built-in – no extra moving parts – Drive new work into its packaged application from any other supported source – Can send information from packaged application to any other supported target – Packaged applications can focus on what they do best and be integrated
Typical customers – NA Railroad uses MB for all SAP to SAP communication – WW Pharmaceutical uses MB for order payment to SAP and distribution notification from SAP – WW Hotel chain uses MB for SEBL customer billing and sales systems 15

Distribute Database Information to Where It’s Needed! Distribute database updates to where they’re needed Provide timely access to changed database information Move to near real-time data trickle from infrequent ETL extract
Database Node allows tables to be treated as input source – Typical scenarios include database to queue & file, or PubSub data distribution – Captures database changes (Insert Update, Delete) to trigger connectivity processing – Supports single and multiple tables, complex joins, and other database oriented semantics – Extends existing database capabilities in MB to provide comprehensive inbound & outbound support – Works with full range of broker databases including Oracle, DB2, SQL server, solidDB and more… • Most existing Event table and data table structures supported without database change – RAD tools construct skeleton database queries to simplify user experience • Power users can create sophisticated SQL routines if required or desired Event Table


Fully Transactional with High Performance and Scalability – Distinct event cache & data transactions minimizes contention 1.Table – Exploits SQL engine for full 2PC transactions update

Provide a PEP for Secure Application Connectivity Provide secure access (AAA) to applications and services Understand and convert broad range of security domain identities Provide secure external access services to partners
Connectivity often implies security domain change – MB supports a broad variety of security tokens – Userid/pw, X509, SAML, Kerberos, LTPA…
MB is Policy Enforcement Point (PEP) – Security is enforced here, still owned by PDP – Identity management, access control, authorization and authentication mechanisms (AAA) are essential
Policy Decision Point (PDP) and MB work together – PDP combination provides a secure infrastructure – Ensures conformance to centralized security policy – Many different PDP technologies supported • Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Microsoft Active Directory, Open LDAP… • Tivoli Federated Identity Manager (TFIM) • WS-Trust, zOS SAF including RACF
External Partner Access to Services – DP security hardened DMZ device strengths 17 – Combine network and MB functionality

Make an Application Inventory & Govern Processing Understand your application assets and control their access dynamically Dynamically change processing without redeployment Provide processing policy and governance
Catalog application and service assets using a registry, e.g. WSRR – Web Service and MQ Service definitions – Classifications: by function, owning department – Relationships: applications dependencies for lifecycle management, versioning – User defined properties (metadata): Application=GOLD or Service=SILVER
Use registry information in MB routing – Built-in MB facilities allow access registry • In memory cache for high performance • Automatic change invalidation – Enables policy based processing, examples • Simple routing based on client metadata Service • Dynamic WS-SecurityPolicy processing Requestor • Dynamic transformation based on endpoint – WSRR as critical governance point

Service Provider Use metadata to implement ‘smart’ mediations 3

Monitor Your Business and Act Intelligently Understand the business relevance of MB data Apply business rules to MB data in-flight Detect business situations and act quickly
MB Connectivity Processes Events from many Sources, Targets – Capture business relevant information for WebSphere Business Monitor • Examples: total dollar trade value per day, orders per hour – Capture business events to correlation with WebSphere Business Events • Look for correlations in data, e.g. fraud, sales opportunities, CRM – Audit, Repair and Replay transported events ILOG rules engine


Generate Business Monitoring Events from existing connectivity – Enables integration with WebSphere Monitor to display & analyze KPIs – Design time and operational time event activation – Notification via CEI & Publish subscribe Inputs


Rule-based Decision Services render decisions on input data – Most often this data comes from a variety of data sources: aggregation, transformation is required – Rule-based Decision Services send outcome decisions to other systems: rule based routing

Outputs


Typical Customers – European Motor manufacturer creates virtual system of record for audit – NA Insurance company uses MB+ILOG for business decisions routing – UK Retail group measures store throughput by item for real-time trending 19

Detect and Act Upon Business Events

Business Process

Identify a diverse range of business events and act Compose existing applications and services to create new value MB


MB Event Capture and Process Initiation – Breadth of MB connectivity enables multiple business process starting points • Identify event and initiate business process • e.g. message, file, web service, devices can start business process – Synchronous & asynchronous invocation for short & long running transactions • Multiple options with Process Server, Lombardi, FileNet…
Integration with WBE to Identify Business Event – WBE allows multiple MB events to form single business event – e.g. duplicates => fraud, missing event => SLA not met
Business Process Connectivity – Exploit range of MB connectivity to abstract and simplify BPM – Process focus on WHAT rather than MB focus on WHERE, HOW concerns – MB receives service request and routes, re-formats, interacts with provider
