This setup involves the preparation of several B2B gateway
components, such as CrossWorldsTPI for AS/2 communication,
WebSphere Data Interchange for EDI data translation, and the
Web Services Gateway for the invocation of Web services
between trading partners. Today, e-commerce means much more
than just EDI: it means supporting interactive Web sites; it
means enabling the communications with multiple exchanges; it
means using XML and the Internet to conduct interactive
business-to-customer and business-to-business communications.
- Implementing EDI Solutions
This IBM Redbook introduces the
reader to the world of EDI. WebSphere Data Interchange is
discussed as the translation engine to map EDI documents to
and from documents in other formats and also introduces two
communication products that use Internet technologies:

helps in Implementing multi-product AS/2 communication with
trading partners.UCCnet and item synchronization via iSoft
and TPI. ICS and TPI interact via the TPI
connector.Implementing a back-up solution using IBM Expedite
and the IBM VAN and how it can be combined with iSoft to
create a solution with full reliability. When Internet
connectivity is temporarily not available, a trading partner
has the ability to use Expedite to dial into IBM?s network
and send or receive EDI documents. By exploiting the recycle
mechanics in iSoft's P2PAgent, we can implement a solution
that provides a highly available connection between trading
partners.

DataPower SOA appliances address these three challenges with the creation of specialized,
purpose-built, consumable SOA appliances that redefine the boundaries of middleware. As
the "hardware ESB," DataPower SOA appliances are an increasingly important part of the
IBM ESB family
- IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances
Part II: Authentication and Authorization
We begin by briefly discussing the concepts of authentication and authorization for two
reasons. The first reason is that the differences between authentication and authorization are
often misunderstood or confused. The second reason is that a discussion of the topic better
illustrates how the concepts apply to the DataPower appliances.In most security systems, authorization checking is only
performed if authentication is successful
- IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances
Part III: XML Security Guide
When exposing service-oriented
systems to Internet access, you must consider various
security issues. Most businesses are used to dealing with the
potential for attack against Web-based sites, but the new and
emerging challenge that we face is exposing the enterprise
business logic in the form of Web Services. While this
capability provides greater flexibility and integration with
partners, it also exposes businesses to greater risks,
because it necessitates opening the firewall through standard
ports.
- IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances
Part IV: Management and Governance
ITCAM for SOA manages a service-oriented architecture (SOA). It can monitor, manage, and
control the Web services layer of IT architectures while drilling down to the application or
resource layer to identify the source of bottlenecks or failures and to pinpoint services that
consume the most time or the most resources.
The service metrics, alerts, and automation workflows provided by ITCAM for SOA and other
Tivoli products can be displayed in Tivoli Enterprise Portal with the cross-workspace linkages.
In doing so, Tivoli Enterprise Portal provides a rich and multilayered source of information that
can help to reduce the time and skills required for problem root-cause analysis and resolution
