WebSphere software - Transaction management and integration
Features and benefits

IBM WebSphere® Message Broker 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
  • 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
  • Powerful runtime security model to address security concerns.
  • Integrated JCA based WebSphere Adapters as built-in nodes
  • Strengthens security and accelerates Web Services Security processing with DataPower SOA Appliance
  • Integration and enhancement of WebSphere Service Registry and Repository support to virtualize services for greater reuse
Enhance SOA support with advanced Web Services
  • 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
  • Delivers support for Web Services Security and Web Services Addressing, and compliance for Basic Profile
  • Works with the latest implementations of standards such as WSDL (Web Services Definition Language), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), SOAP with attachments, any JMS (Java™ Message Service) HTTP(s) (Hypertext Transport Protocol), MTOM/XOP, and MQ,
  • Enhanced support for provider and consumer scenarios
  • Toolkit support for WSDL drag and drop for skeleton flow creation and configuration
  • Full message set round-tripping for WSDL imports and exports.
  • New Web services parser creates more consumable message tree.
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
  • Provide native JMS interoperability, acting as a bridge between any combinations of different JMS providers.
  • Out-of-the-box nodes to simplify management and improve performance for key enterprise resource planning (ERP) integration scenarios (for example, SAP, Siebel, and PeopleSoft) through WebSphere Adapters packaged as native message-processing nodes
  • Native support for large file processing, including FTP, to simplify processing of large, repeating complex file records without using excessive storage
  • New Email Output node
  • Integration with WebSphere Transformation Extender, including the launcher, enabling WebSphere Transformation Extended maps to run natively in WebSphere Message Broker
