WMB INSTALLATION AND THEIR PURPOSES

WebSphere MQ:

IBM® WebSphere® MQ can transport any type of data as messages, enabling businesses to build flexible, reusable architectures such as service-oriented architecture (SOA) environments. It works with a broad range of computing platforms, applications, web services and communications protocols for security-rich message delivery. WebSphere MQ provides a communications layer for visibility and control of the flow of messages and data inside and outside your organization.

WebSphere MQ provides:

• Versatile messaging integration from mainframe to mobile that provides a single, robust messaging backbone for dynamic heterogeneous environments.
• Message delivery with security-rich features that produce auditable results.
• High-performance message transport to deliver data with improved speed and reliability.
• Administrative features that simplify messaging management and reduce time spent using complex tools.
• Open standards development tools that support extensibility and business growth.

IBM Integration Bus V9 :

                IBM Integration Bus is IBM's strategic integration product for Java, Microsoft .NET, and heterogeneous integration scenarios. It represents a significant evolution of the WebSphere Message Broker technology base, and includes new features such as policy-based workload management, business rules, and integration with Business Process Management (BPM) and Microsoft .NET. It also incorporates WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) use cases, and WebSphere ESB capabilities will be folded into IBM Integration Bus over time, with conversion tools for initial use cases built-in from day one.

IBM Integration Toolkit :

Application developers work in separate instances of the IBM Integration Toolkit to develop resources associated with message flows. The IBM Integration Toolkit connects to one or more brokers to which the message flows are deployed.

When you start the IBM Integration Toolkit, a single window is displayed. This window is the IBM Integration Toolkit, which contains one or more perspectives.

A perspective is a collection of views and editors that you use to complete a specific task, or work with specific types of resource. The two significant perspectives in the IBM Integration Toolkit are the Integration Development perspective for application development, and the Debug perspective for debugging message flows. The first time that you start the IBM Integration Toolkit, the Integration Development perspective is displayed.

An additional stand-alone component, the IBM Integration Explorer, is supplied for advanced administrative users, and enables additional administration tasks that you cannot perform in the IBM Integration Toolkit.

IBM Integration Explorer :

The IBM Integration Explorer is an extension to the WebSphere® MQ Explorer.

To use the IBM Integration Explorer, you must start the WebSphere MQ Explorer. The IBM Integration Explorer adds the Integration Nodes folder and Broker Archive Files folder to the MQ Explorer - Navigator view:

• Use the Integration Nodes folder to create, view, and modify integration nodes
• Use the Broker Archive Files folder to import, view, and modify BAR files before deploying them to your integration nodes

The IBM Integration Explorer provides several QuickViews that you can use to view the properties of integration nodes and their resources. These QuickViews are automatically displayed when you click the resource in the Integration Nodes folder in the MQ Explorer - Navigator view. A QuickView is also available for viewing the details of BAR files that you have imported into the IBM Integration Explorer.

The following views and editors are provided for working with integration nodes in the IBM Integration Explorer:

Broker Archive editor

Use the Broker Archive editor to create and manage broker archive (BAR) files.

Broker Statistics and Broker Statistics Graph views

Use the Broker Statistics and Broker Statistics Graph views to view snapshot accounting and statistics data as it is produced by the broker.

Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor

Use the Policy Sets and Policy Set Bindings editor to edit, save, import, and export policy sets or bindings.

Security Profiles editor

Use the Security Profiles editor to create a security profile for use with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager (TFIM).

DataPower® Security wizard

Use the DataPower Security wizard to configure an external DataPower appliance to handle the WS-Security Policy for your HTTP, HTTPS, and SOAP nodes within your message flow.

Administration Log view

Use the Administration Log view to view the results of deployment actions on integration nodes.

Activity Log view

Use the Activity Log view to view recent activities affecting your message flows, and related external resources.
