WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: z/OS


Service-oriented architecture core

The service-oriented architecture core of IBM® WebSphere® ESB provides both uniform invocation and data-representation programming models and monitoring and management capabilities for applications running on WebSphere ESB.

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a conceptual description of the structure of a software system in terms of its components and the services they provide, without regard for the underlying implementation of these components, services and connections between components. WebSphere ESB enables deployment of standards-based process integration solutions in an SOA. This means that a well defined set of business-level interfaces for the components can be created and maintained, shielded from lower-level technology changes. Loosely coupled integration applications that are based on SOA provide flexibility and agility. You can implement integration solutions independent of platform, protocols and products. For more information about SOA, refer to the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) from IBM Web site.

The Service Component Architecture and business objects that are part of the SOA core provide uniform invocation and data-representation programming models for applications deployed on WebSphere ESB. The SOA core also includes the Common Event Infrastructure for generating events for the monitoring and management of applications on WebSphere ESB.
