  30. Event Notification Application “A” Application “B” Request Response Messaging . . . What is it ? Communication among applications through the exchange of messages. Event Notification A one-way communication. Request / Response A two-way communication. Some competing approaches . . . Single System - Call / Return Remote Procedure Call Remote Method Invocation (Java)

  31. api api WebSphere MQ Middleware that provides a flexible means to reliably exchange information between applications. Messaging Middleware WebSphere MQ Queue Manager Application “B” Application “A” It’s Like Voice Mail for your applications! A model based on “queues”. Assured Delivery Messages delivered once and only once (even if a MQ fails and is restarted). Asynchronous Delivery Once a message is “put”, an application does not need to wait for a response. Time Independent Delivery Messages are delivered when needed and when the application is available. Transactional Support Groups of messages delivered as “all or none” (for example, items in an order).

  32. Selling WebSphere MQ . . . Overview • Customer Profile • Customers with applications that need to exchange data and are: • Mission critical (that is, have “transactional” characteristics) • Deployed over a wide variety of platforms (especially, when one of them is zOS). • Available at different times (for instance, 24/7 order entry, but nighttime order processing) • Opportunity (average deal of $ 50K) 70% of integration projects are custom coded and most result in end user dissatisfaction because of insufficient security, error recovery, and quality of code. Using WebSphere MQ resolves these shortcomings. Moreover, projects are sped up because the amount of application code is reduced and a single, standard method for applications to communicate is provided. • Customer Pains • Processing delays or errors because data is re-keyed or “file transferred” between applications. • Transactions are lost or duplicated because of network errors. • Processing is interrupted because applications are “temporarily” unavailable or off schedule. • IBM Solution Value ( Real World Examples ) • Police Department – Report processing went from 2 weeks to 5 minutes. • Airline Company – Able to provide 24/7 availability for their reservation system.

  33. WebSphere MQ - Questions to Ask Information Technology Help desk clues . . . • Complaints of lost or duplicated transactions ? If so, do they co-inside with network errors ? • “ . . . not available, try again later” ? If so, do they co-inside with unavailable applications ? Operations manager issues . . . • Are batch windows regularly being missed ? • Are there planned or unplanned application outages that are problematic ? Development manager issues . . . • Are skills lacking for integration projects that span multiple operating system platforms? • Are integration projects delayed because of their complexity (design, code, test) ? • Is the backlog for integration projects large or been growing at too fast a pace ? • Is there pressure or interest to move from batch window to real time processing? Business • Are people re-keying or “file transferring” data between applications ? If so, are errors being introduced, it taking too long, or sometimes not getting done ? • Do users or customers complain about lost or duplicated transactions ? • Do users or customers experience error messages like “ . . . not available, try again later” ? • Have “work around” techniques been developed because I/T it too slow to provide solutions ?

  34. WebSphere MQ - What answers should I look for ? Buying Signals Business Oriented • End customer frustration because of inaccurate, incomplete, or untimely information (for instance, money transferred between accounts not appearing until the next day – after nighttime processing). • Lost business or profits because decisions are made on “stale” information (for instance, putting the wrong items on sale because it was not based on next day or same day analysis). • Higher operating costs relative to the competition because data has not be consolidated (for instance, purchases at the store level purchases instead of at the corporate level). • Inability to grow revenues because of manual or semi-manual processes for data exchanges (like those that depend on re-keying or file transferring). • Unable to effectively respond to competition (for instance, untimely correlation of losses because of delayed reporting of data). Information Technology Oriented • A pattern of integration projects s that . . . . . . have been late or have had cost overruns because of their complexity. . . . have not met user expectations in terms of reliability, security, or performance. • A large or growing backlog of integration projects. • A shortage of skills for projects that require cross-platform integration. • Integration projects that need to be completed quickly.

  37. WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker Customer Profile • Customers with separately developed groups of MQ enabled applications that now need to be integrated - typically, these results from (a) Mergers & Acquisitions, (b) Departmental Consolidations, (c) new “cross application” integration requirements. • Customers that need to integrate distributed applications like plant floor, store cash registers, and internet scale notifications with existing MQ enabled applications. • Customers that need to expose MQ enabled applications as Web Services. Opportunity • Many of the 10,000 implementations of WebSphere MQ could use broker technology to shorten the time and improve quality of information that is passed between a wide variety of applications Customer Pains • Integration projects with delays, costs overruns, and issues with quality. • Inability to deploy integration solutions in time to react to market needs and changes. IBM Solution Value WebSphere MQ & WBI Broker customers experience tangible results: • A chemical company reduced integration labor by 50% • An Australian bank, experienced a 25% productivity gain in their call center. Opportunity Qualification • Tactical - Customers with approved projects that involve applications that are already MQ enabled. • Strategic - Customers that would like to develop an “enterprise level” messaging architecture.

  38. Buying Signals / Selling Opportunities Application Synchronization - Duplicate applications that need to be synchronized (e.g., as the result of a merger two human resource applications need to be process every change to an employee). Corporate Governance or Compliance – Applications that are (or can be) MQ enabled and need to have business policy applied (e.g., log wire transfers that exceed $ 10K). Internet Scale Notifications – Applications that are (or can be) MQ enabled and need to notify large numbers of people events (e.g., changes in scores from a sporting event). Purchased Applications – Acquired applications that are (or can be via an adapter) MQ enabled that needs to be integrated with each other or with existing applications that are (or can be) MQ enabled. Typically, examples of these are supply chain management, customer relationship management, and enterprise resource planning. Remote Device Communications – Programmable devices (such as, cash registers, kiosks, or phones) that need to send / receive information to host based applications that are (or can be) MQ enabled. Telemetry – Devices (plant or shop floor machinery, pipeline control mechanisms, railway switches) need to send / receive information to host based applications that are (or can be) MQ enabled. Web Services – Applications that are (or can be) MQ enabled and need to be used as a web service or need to consume a web service.
