WebSphere Integration Developer

One Tool, One Set of Skills Assemble business and IT components

– Single architecture that supports multiple roles– Simplifying and speeding development

Import and work with business process models directly from the business analyst– WS-BPEL for execution; XSD for data definitions– WSDL for services interfacing– UML for architecture / design

Define all types of processes in a single way– Full workflow support– Built-in human task support– State Machines for event-based business processes

Maximize re-use– Leverage existing services; develop for future reuse

Integration Developer

BPEL

WebSphere Integration Developer Service-Oriented Integration Application Development

Streamlining process design hand-off between business and IT– Developer works with the Business analyst to import the Business models defined in WebSphere

Business Modeler Simplifying and speeding composite application development

– An Assembly Editor for overall solution assembly– All the tools you need for building solution components (Editors for BPEL, Business Rules, Business

State Machines, Interface Maps, …)– One, easy-to-learn end user interface based on Eclipse

Architected for reuse and flexibility

– Simplified componentinterfaces

– Plug-and-play solution components

– Ability to leverage existing services and develop for future reuse

WebSphere Integration Developer Assembling a composite application with minimal coding

User-friendly Authoring Environment Intuitive drag-and-drop tools

– Visually define the sequence and flow of business processes with the assembly editor

Visual Editors minimize writing Code– Business Process– Human Task– State Machine– Business Rules – Data mapping …

Component based Programming Model– Service Components & Modules

Team-based development Full Test Environment

– Including Visual Debugger for all components

Comprehensive Support for Business Processes Assembling a composite application based on Standards

Develop Executable Process – WS-BPEL with or without IBM

Extensions Integrated fault and event handling Compensation support

– Provide a logical “undo” capability Leverage industry standards and schemas

– WSDL & XSD support Wide range of adapters for interactions

with people, data and systems.– Email, Flat File, FTP, JDBC, etc…

Service discovery including WebSphere Service Registry & Repository

Comprehensive Support for Event-based Scenarios Business State Machines

“Sequential” Business Processes are not suitable for event-based scenarios

Some business processes need to understand and react to many different events that can occur at any time

State machines simplify design by focusing states & events– Events are handled differently

depending on the current “state” of a process

– Processes may need to revert to earlier states at any time

– Reaching a point in time can change the process state without requiring an event

Flexible User Interface SupportGenerate & Customize the user clients you need

Comprehensive User Interface Support for Human Tasks

– BPC Explorer– WebSphere Portal Task List– Generate Custom Clients– Completely customized API Clients– Graphical Process Instance View

Customizable business user interface support– Tasks allow to specify client settings that

contain information used at runtime to properly render a task, depending on user role and client used

Dynamic Processes for Flexibility And Responsiveness

Business Rules & Decision Tables dynamically determine process flow

– Expose process decision points as business parameters

• e.g. Credit rating level based on net worth – Allow non-disruptive, real-time business

change • e.g. New lending policies allow changing

the credit rating criteria without redeploying the loan application process

– Ensure consistency across the business• e.g. Every loan application process

executes the same rule group Selectors dynamically determine which

components are used Dynamically call sub-processes

– WS-Addressing or by name

Assemble – What Makes WebSphere UniqueWebSphere Integration Developer

– BPEL without Coding• Standards based process support

– Full Workflow Support• Built-in human task support

– State Machines• For complex event-based transactions

– Dynamic processes and assembly• For flexibility and responsiveness• Business rules to determine the process flow• Selectors to determine which components are in the flow

– Assembly with WebSphere Integration Developer• Tooling and architecture for composite applications
