Re: Web Services with IBM solutions

But only runs on one platform ;-)

But it kind of integrates platforms (hence the <freaking> name) ;-)

Since you have a mixed bag MQSeries is a possibility and so is SSIS ( sequel
server integration services )

The latter option may have more functionality

Have you looked at Websphere MQ (formerly known as MQ Series)? It supports
all those platforms (and more) and handles translation and stuff. I've
used
it to communicate between i and mainframes, between i and Websphere
Commerce
running under Windows, and between i and UNIX systems. Pretty easy
programming interface too.

We have a pretty diverse environment:

1. We use OS/400 (soon 6.1), AIX, and Windows operating systems on
different servers.
2. We use MS SQL Server, DB2400, and Oracle databases.
3. We're running applications written in COBOL, RPG, CL, SQL, SQR,
PeopleCode, and .NET (mostly VB).

We need to communicate across a lot of these systems. For example, our
e-commerce system (Windows, .NET, SQL Server) needs to exchange data and
orchestrate program flow with our IBMi applications (OS/400, COBOL/CL,
DB2)
and with our PeopleSoft financials modules (Windows, PeopleCode/SQR, SQL
Server). Our warehouse systems (AIX, SQL, Oracle databases) need to
interface with all of these systems.

We're looking at messaging solutions to exchange data, transform data
(one
stream file format to another stream file format), and to orchestrate the
sequence of programs and processes.

So, we don't want too much from messaging solutions... ;-)

What type of systems do you need to communicate with? What types of
messaging?

I haven't used any of these products, so I can only offer a brief bird's
eye
(high-level) overview.

If you have an interface in an ILE program that you're interested in
exposing as
a web service, you can use IWS wizzards to generate a WSDL and Java
components
to call your RPG program from Websphere. You can offer the WSDL to
enable
web
service clients to generate an interface that matches yours.

Message Broker is a highly engineered product that you might use to
exchange
messages between otherwise disparate systems, using various protocols.
I
use
the term "product", but in order to use and deploy it, you're probably
going to
need somebody from IBM Global Services to help you under a business
systems
integration project.

If Message Broker is a job for Global Services, then Enterprise Service
Bus
is
even more so. It's a collection of technologies under one brand name.
After
you hire IBM to help you implement a business integration strategy they
may
be
likely to recommend ESB in conjunction with Message Broker.

Large scale business process integration is serious business for IBM.

Sorry, I intended to make this a new thread...

I was recently asked to look at options for messaging on the IBMi. The
first IBM
solutions that I happened to come across were WebSphere Message Broker,
WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, and Integrated Web Services.


I'm not limiting my search to IBM solutions, but I would like to know
more
about
them.

What are some of the pros and cons of these three IBM solutions? Has
anyone
used
these solutions? What were your experiences?

Thanks,
Kelly
