2 Description WebSphere MQ Integrator WebSphere MQ Integrator technology is a powerful information broker that selects and distributes information to the applications, databases, and people that need it. Users can implement realtime, application-to-application message transformation and intelligent message routing quickly and easily. It is flexible so applications can be added, extended, or replaced within information flows. WebSphere MQ Integrator is a cross-platform middleware application integration engine a powerful information broker that manages: Business information integration Application integration Integrated Application Data with business data, builds dynamic distribution mechanism for information for users to subscribe to applications Visualization of application flow through the use of a graphical development environment WebSphere MQ Integrator working closely with relational databases to augment messages and also to warehouse data Messages distributed using a dynamic publish/subscribe mechanism that enables the subscriber to filter messages based on content WebSphere MQ Integrator exploiting the transactional control offered by WebSphere MQ to provide end-to-end transactional integrity between applications WebSphere MQ Integrator is architected with a library of nodes produced by IBM and delivered with the product. In addition, further plug-in nodes and parsers can be downloaded. Customers, Business Partners, or other third parties may add to these functions by developing further plug-ins, which may be used with this open framework concept. WebSphere MQ Integrator uses MQSeries to send and receive messages between applications. With WebSphere MQ Integrator, operations are performed on the messages. These operations could include: Filtering Computational (based on message content) Augmenting messages from business data Applying a variety of rules and routing functions, including publish and subscribe Message formats can be self-defining, using XML, or defined using an IBM-provided format repository or third-party message dictionaries. Predefined templates mean WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1 can exchange information with major packaged applications. Benefits of WebSphere MQ Integrator In addition to those provided in previous releases WebSphere MQ Integrator provides the following benefits: Tagged Message Support Enabling handling of all types of industry message formats Wider applications to industry solutions Enable industry standard messages (SWIFT, EDI) A range of message format library support Solutions using these technologies can be implemented XML enhancements (MRM2) Support of industry-standard XML formats All formats integrated and managed consistently Java environment for plug-in nodes Support for Java APIs when developing custom plug-ins Industry momentum for Java program Easier availability of skills to rapidly integrate industry technologies through open framework Plug-in API extensions (input nodes) Connection of any industry application to the integration broker without regard to the protocol Simpler, more direct integration across your enterprise WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1 includes a full license for MQSeries, and the functionality of WebSphere MQ Integrator on other corresponding platforms. Features of WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1 Improved Message Repository Manager (MRM): WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1 includes a new version of the MRM with significantly enhanced support for XML messages and support for industry-standard, tag-delimited message formats such as SWIFT, EDI, and AL3 (ACORD). Extensions to the Logical Model Explicit cardinal attributes. MRM 2 supports four basic cardinal attributes (one, one or more, one or zero, zero or more) plus the ability to extend this to cardinal attributes such as (more than two and less than six). Sequence and Choice. Compound types have a composition property that defines how they are composed of their type members. In a sequence, the type members (if present) must appear in the order specified. In a choice, at most one of the type members can appear

3 OrderedSet and UnorderedSet. Two further composition types required for XML modeling allow compound types to be composed of other types. This is to allow modeling of DTD elements whose content specs include parentheses; for example, (A,B) (C,D). Support for ANY, EMPTY, and MIXED element content. XML attribute support Allows XML attributes to be modeled as child elements. This also implies that a Compound type can have a value of its own (previously only Simple types held values). Support for DATE/TIME/DATETIME datatypes. More than one CWF format may be defined per message set. Application header A structure may be specified to be used as an application header for all messages in the set. Many XML message sets are designed in a header/body pattern. Distinguishing a header in this way allows WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1 to read the header in order to ascertain the MessageType of the body. User-definable properties A message designer can add new attribute/value pairs for an element or type modeled in the MRM. These properties are accessible at runtime. New XML Mapping Layer: A new XML layer in the data model allows the following aspects of the mapping between the logical model and physical XML to be defined: Control whether XML descriptors and doctype are generated or not and control their content Customize the XML root element name to allow messages other than native MRM messages to be modeled Identify or specify an element name or value in the XML as containing the Message Type identifier Identify the XML element and attribute names to be used for child elements (unless defined in this layer), the default is to use the logical model s element identifier Render logical datatypes into their physical representation in the XML (particularly the rendering of DATE/TIME/ DATETIME), which can also be customized In addition, the range of supported identifiers includes any valid XML element name, without the : character (in other words, it must start with a letter or underscore and can continue with letters, digits, underscores, hyphens, or full stops). Tagged Format Support: A new Tag Wire Format (TWF) layer in the message model allows the physical mapping to be defined for tag-delimited strings: Tag indicator A reserved string that delimits the start of a tagged value Tag terminator A reserved string that delimits the end of a tagged value Tag separator A reserved string that separates the tag from its field Continuation character Indicates the continuation of field data onto a new line Escape character Used so that special reserved characters (such as delimiters) can be included as part of data Reserved characters String that specifies special reserved characters that must be preceded by the escape character if they are to be included as part of the data Message-begin delimiter Special reserved character used to indicate start of a message body Message-end delimiter Special reserved character used to indicate end of a message body Specializations of this TWF layer are provided with preset values for: SWIFT (ISO 15022) EDI X.12 (ISO 9735) and EDIFACT ACORD/AL3 Enhanced Support for Plug-in Node Developers: The plug-in node API enables customers and Business Partners to write additional input nodes for WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1. A new set of Java objects and classes is provided to support the development and deployment of plug-in nodes written in Java. This new interface provides access to the full range of function required for the development of new plug-in nodes. New ESQL Features: The ESQL nodes (Compute, Database, DataInsert, DataUpdate, and DataDelete) are rationalized to support a consistent set of capabilities and functions. A number of new features in the ESQL engine in WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1 include: Environment support UUID function Field reference variables Binary casting Date/time casting SQLCODE and SQLSTATE Drag-and-drop capability is improved in the corresponding node customizers. Other Improvements Version control for plug-in nodes Control Center security exit User-written events Partial parsing Transaction Processing SupportPacs Each SupportPac supplies a particular function or service that can be used with one or more of the WebSphere MQ products. New SupportPacs are now available: Remote Read Log Extended UNIX Configuration utility Command line import/export/deploy (ICO1) Visit the Transaction Processing SupportPacs library: Accessibility by People with Disabilities The WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1 Control Center and Configuration Manager do not yet fully support use by people with disabilities. However, the WebSphere MQ Integrator V2.1 Control Center is largely compatible with the accessibility features included with the Microsoft Windows operating systems

4 Euro Currency This program is not impacted by euro currency. Product Positioning Integration is fundamental to business. You need to integrate applications both existing and new to realize your e-business goals. The WebSphere MQ Integrator represents the IBM response to this market need. The WebSphere MQ Integrator initiative addresses business and application integration by helping you manage information flow allowing you to: Integrate existing applications to existing or new applications Visualize the application flow with a graphical development environment Transform, augment, apply rules to and route/distribute message based data between high-performance systems Deploy, configure, and manage application integration flows requiring multiple run-times System connectivity is typically enhanced into application integration by developers who write code to capture, evaluate, translate, and reformat data from source applications to a format understood by destination applications. This can be simplified at design, development, and maintenance stages by using MQ Integrator, rather than traditional programming techniques, saving both time and effort. Positioning with BPM: The WebSphere platform for e-business BPM products and solutions that help integrate a single department or pervade the entire enterprise, reaching across business channels, trading partners and Web customers. Eight key BPM elements can can be combined selectively or built up, one upon the other, to provide more powerful and efficient integration: MQSeries, which integrates over 35 platforms, provides the base messaging functions for servers and clients, and assures once-only message delivery. MQSeries Everyplace brings the benefits of assured message delivery and dependable security to the failure-prone environment of mobile working. MQSeries Adapter Offering provides the framework and tools to build and customize MQSeries adapters for existing and new packaged or custom-developed applications. WebSphere Adapters simplify information exchange with popular packaged software such as that from J.D. Edwards and SAP. WebSphere MQ Integrator (formerly MQSeries Integrator) is a powerful information broker that includes a one-to-many connectivity model plus transformation, intelligent routing and information flow modelling across multiple, disparate business systems. MQSeries Workflow, a business process management system, enables the definition, execution and swift change of complete business processes that span systems, applications and people. WebSphere Partner Agreement Manager enables businesses that trade with each other to agree on public processes by consensus, and automate and integrate their interactions. WebSphere Business Integrator provides an end-to-end business process integration solution. which leverages all the products listed above, enabling the creation, execution, and management of processes that span diverse applications and enterprises. Positioning with WebSphere Transcoding Publisher WebSphere Transcoding Publisher is primarily focused on transforming Web-based content so that it can be delivered to a variety of client environments and devices according to the capability of the device, type of connection, and customized selections. For example, WebSphere Transcoding Publisher can transform and adapt XML- and HTML-based documents and images to many target environments. WebSphere MQ Integrator is mainly used to process server-to-server messages, including processing field contents to determine routing, perform calculations, or check validity. WebSphere MQ Integrator uses a variety of message formats including XML. WebSphere MQ Integrator and WebSphere Transcoding Publisher can work together to extend your business-to-business integration to new environments, such as pervasive devices. For example, WebSphere MQ Integrator could be used alongside WebSphere Transcoding Publisher to deal directly with HTML-based pages, which need both reformatting and routing.

7 Capacity Unit Requirements for WebSphere MQ Integrator Products The capacity units described are for MQSeries software. For WebSphere MQ Integrator Products changes are effective November 6, For base MQSeries programs the changes described were effective October 17, The two tables described as old and new below relate to those available before and after these dates. The pricing for MQSeries servers is based on capacity units, with each processor group requiring a certain number of capacity units. The table controlling the number of capacity units required per processor group has changed. The old and new requirements are shown below: Old Table: Refer to the MQSeries Integrator Machine Lists to obtain the capacity units required and refer to the table below to define the Category. Total MQSeries Capacity Units Category Required Workgroup 2 Departmental 4 Enterprise 6 Super Large 8 New Table: WebSphere MQ Integrator Processor Group List Description Total MQSeries Capacity Units Required Intel(1) Uniprocessor Machines 2 Intel 2 way SMP Machines 4 + RISC 1 2 Processors per box/sp (TM) Node Intel/RISC 3 8 Processors per box/sp Node 8 Intel/RISC 9 23 Processors per box/sp Node 16 Intel/RISC 24 or more Processors per box/sp Node 30 Note: Intel machines include compatible processors such as Cyrix and AMD. Customers who upgrade from earlier releases of MQSeries using Passport Advantage who are not changing processor group (in the new table) do not need to order any additional capacity units, even if the number of Capacity Units required for their processor group increased using the new table. Customers who upgrade from an earlier release of MQSeries using Passport Advantage and who are changing the processor group (in the new table), can use the Capacity Units they have (which may be based on the old table), and then must acquire additional Capacity Units (if necessary) to satisfy the requirements of the new table. Any excess Capacity Units as a result of changing to the new table may be used towards other WebSphere MQ and MQSeries entitlements, but are not refundable. Customers with current upgrade protection in Passport Advantage who use MQSeries on the same machine can continue to get upgrades without purchasing more Capacity Units. Customers who upgrade should retain their original product as proof of entitlement to use with the old table. Transferability: WebSphere MQ Integrator Capacity Units are transferable across MQSeries Integrator and WebSphere MQ Integrator platforms that appear in the same WebSphere MQ Integrator Transfer Group. The WebSphere MQ Integrator Transfer Group table defines WebSphere MQ Integrator products at a consistent version and release level. An upgrade path using Passport Advantage (PPA) is provided to enable existing use authorization (Capacity Units) to be migrated to an MQ Integrator product at a functionally enhanced version or release level. The following table shows the current WebSphere MQ Integrator Transfer Groups and the platforms, within each group, eligible for generic Capacity Unit transferability.
