INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION


§ WebSphere MQ messaging provides a secure and far-reaching communications infrastructure that you can expand with WebSphere Message Broker to apply intelligence to our business data as it travels through your network.

§ Applications have much greater flexibility in selecting which messages they want to receive, because they can specify a topic filter, or a content-based filter, or both, to control the messages that are made available to them.

§ Diverse applications can exchange information in dissimilar forms, with Message Brokers handling the processing required for the information to Message Brokers handling the processing required for the information to arrive in the right place in the correct format, according to the rules that you have defined. The applications do not need to know anything except their own conventions and requirements.

§ Transform a message, so that applications using different formats can exchange messages in their own formats.

§ Store a message, or part of a message, in a database.


§ The Message Broker provides a framework that supports supplied basic functions along with user-defined enhancements, to enable rapid construction and modification of business processing rules that are applied to messages in the system

§ Content Based Routing- Route a message to several destinations, using rules that act on the contents of one or more of the fields in the message or message header.

§ Modify the contents of a message; for example, by adding data § Modify the contents of a message; for example, by adding data extracted from a database.


Single Sentence to address Broker Capabilities

WebSphere Message Broker incorporates WebSphere Event Broker and extends its function to provide a powerful, point-to-point message broker solution driven by business message broker solution driven by business rules. Messages are formed, routed, and transformed according to the rules defined by an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI).

§ Coexistence

– V7 will co-exist with V6 and V6.1 to enable incremental migration; V6 & V6.1 will support MQ7.0.1


Simple Product for New and Existing Users§ Minimal prerequisites to get up and running

– Application Development within Toolkit component– Message flows run within Broker component– MQ 7.0.1 is only pre-requisite product– Previous components no longer necessary

• Broker database, Config Mgr, User Name Server

§ File based deployment and configuration

– File system for deployed resources/configuration • Backup (online) and restore entire configuration • Backup (online) and restore entire configuration

– mqsi[backup|restore]broker

§ Components from Previous Versions of Message Broker

– Removal of Broker database does not affect User database access; simplifies operations– Configuration manager functionality entirely subsumed by Broker component

• Toolkit and Explorer can manage multiple Brokers• CMP admin API maintained for existing management applications• Publish subscribe topology defined with MQ7 facilities• New SYSTEM.BROKER.AUTH.* queues to define operational access control via MQ security defs

– User Name Server no longer necessary (removed)• Topic and content based publish subscribe security defined with MQ7 facilities


MB Explorer§ Single Admin Explorer for MB Toolkit and MQ Operations

§ Explorer is full function, small footprint, standalone tooling for operational staff§ Allows MQ and MB artefacts to be managed in single console; extends MQ Explorer for skills reuse

§ Complements new compile-test-fix capabilities in Eclipse Toolkit Application Development Perspective

§ New Comprehensive Broker Management Features§ Multiple local and remote brokers directly managed– Broker sets to logically group brokers using tags– Broker sets to logically group brokers using tags– Multiple execution group deploy for BAR files– View/change ALL broker properties from Explorer– Enable/disable trace nodes and broker trace level– Event Log for status updates; command logging– Independently stop/start execution group process– View/Edit configurable services & WS-* policy sets– Broker and execution group ‘traffic light’ status


§ MB Exploits New MQ7.0.1 Multi-instance queue manager capability

– MQ7.0.1 provides basic failover without HA coordinator

– HACMP, VCS, HA Linux no longer required in many scenarios to restart MQ and MB!

– MB SAP Input node exploits for state management to give multi-broker and HA SAP support

§ Active and Stand-by Queue Manager and Brokers

– Start multiple instances of a queue manager on different machines

– One is “active” instance; other is “standby” instance

– Shared data is held in networked storage (NAS, NFS, GPFS) but owned by active instance

MB

MQ

Active Standby

– Shared data is held in networked storage (NAS, NFS, GPFS) but owned by active instance

– Automatic MQ Client reconnect will attempt to make failures transparent as possible

§ MB Exploitation

WebSphere Message Broker version 7 will complement this facility by providing an active and standby broker. As with MQ, these will be connected using a shared storage device. The active broker will normally process all requests. If the underlying queue manager detects a problem, then the standby queue manager will takeover, the active broker will be terminated, and the standby broker will complete initialization and takeover processing of requests.


Toolkit Enhancement§ Comprehensive AD perspective

§ Support all AD life cycle tasks§ Visually consistent with MBX

§ Create, modify, delete brokers§ Create local brokers & remote connect§ Create local and remote exec groups§ Start and stop brokers, execution groups§ Auto configure/configure debug ports§ Auto populated from unit test (.mbtest)§ Auto populated from unit test (.mbtest)

§ Quickly Compile, Debug, Test (CDT)§ Debug local and remote brokers§ Drag and drop message flows directly§ Test message flow directly or .mbtest§ Drag and drop BARs from file system§ Synchronous deployment status log

§ Navigation Enhancements§ Quick Start and Patterns hot links


More Enhancements

• Impact Analysis to manage asset change– ESQL, Maps, XML, MRM, Flows, Nodes

• More XPATH Expression Editor Functions– Express message content and routing rules

• Comprehensive Samples Gallery– Deployable samples to kick start learning– Quick Start from Patterns– Quick Start from Patterns

• Enhanced BAR Editor– Better filtering, navigation, overrides


Patterns for Simplified Development§ Patterns Based Development

§ Create top-down, parameterized connectivity solutions § e.g. Web Service façades, Message processing, File to queue

§ IBM pre-supplied patterns§ Simplifies creation of common solutions using best practices

§ Complements existing bottom-up constructional approach§ Patterns Explorer

§ Inventory of key Broker patterns available for solution generation§ Each Pattern contains clear help to explain context and applicability§ Create pattern instance->Customize->Generate->Deploy§ Create pattern instance->Customize->Generate->Deploy

§ Pattern Generation§ Enables simple creation of message flows, sets and mappings from pre-supplied pattern§ Pattern Properties allow configuration of behaviour

§ Design time properties affect structure of message flow, e.g. number of WSDL operations§ Runtime properties affects behaviour of flow during processing§ Many pattern properties result in flow properties modifiable after development with BAR editor

§ Pattern can be regenerated with double click to change properties and generate again§ Trends

MB7 Extends MQ7 Publish Subscribe


SCA nodes for WPS Interoperability

§ WPS Interoperability – Supports both WPS->MB inbound and MB->WPS outbound scenarios– Stands for Service Component Architecture

§ New nodes to allow MB to interoperate with WPS/SCA systems– MB flow as SCA endpoint• SCA Input and SCA Reply nodes

– MB flow calling SCA endpoint• SCA Request nodes, including asynchronous variants

§ Connectivity via standard remote bindings– Initially Web Services & MQ bindings, JMS to follow– Native SCA binding for local invocation not necessary, MB will always be remote– Security credentials will flow with the transport and be handled as other transports


PHP Compute Node for Dynamic Scripting§ An increasingly common language for Web developers is the PHP scripting language. Support for PHP was introduced in Message Broker version 6.1 on the Windows platform. Version 7 has now extended this support to all unix platforms.

§ This facility extends the range of transformation options.

EIS Enhancement§ Eases promotion of SEBL and PSOFT message flows through Test, QA, Production lifecycle§ Single Program ID to allow multiple IDocs to be handled by different flows without disruption

SFTP Support for File Nodes

§ Single Program ID to allow multiple IDocs to be handled by different flows without disruption§ High Availability for SAP Input nodes allows multi-broker failover with MQ HA store§ BAPI commit wait processing


Sequencing and Re-sequencing Nodes§ New Sequence and Resequence nodes– Messages arrive in any order, propagated according to monotonic sequence number– Sequences groups have defined start and end, propagated in order within group– Strong synergy with aggregation and collector nodes

§ Resequence node collects messages according to – Sequence number location within message– Optional group location for sequences from different origins (e.g. account identifier, date)– Flexible sequence start and end definition mechanism• Literal value, predicate or timer based • e.g. (0,10)($Root/FirstMsg, $Root/LastMsg)(5, 50s) • e.g. (0,10)($Root/FirstMsg, $Root/LastMsg)(5, 50s)

– Message propagation uses additional threads§ Comprehensive timeout handling– Missing message timer monitors sequence gaps– Late messages propagated – Duplicate messages raise exceptions

§ Complemented by Sequence node– Users can create new sequences and groups– Use existing or create new sequence fields– Synchronized groups ensure true processing order
