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


Installation media contents

The WebSphere® ESB for z/OS® components that are to be installed on z/OS systems are supplied on a single tape or as a download package; components that are to be installed on non-z/OS systems are supplied on CDs.

Software supplied with WebSphere ESB for z/OS

The WebSphere ESB for z/OS package contains all the software that you need to install and configure WebSphere ESB for z/OS, and to assemble and deploy applications.

The tape, or download package, includes WebSphere Application Server for z/OS, which needs to be installed and configured prior to installing WebSphere ESB for z/OS. The following table lists the software that is supplied on the tape or in the download package.

Software Description
WebSphere ESB for z/OS Provides the main WebSphere ESB for z/OS software.
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Provides the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS software which you must install and configure before you install the WebSphere ESB for z/OS software.
WebSphere Application Server Application Clients Provides a stand-alone client run-time environment for your client applications so that you do not need to install a full instance of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. The application client module is a Java™ Archive (JAR) file that contains a client for accessing a Java application.
IBM® User Interface Help System Built on Eclipse Provides the software, including a Web server, that you need to install and run the WebSphere ESB documentation on a z/OS system. You can then view the documentation using a Web browser on a distributed system. The documentation is packaged as Eclipse documentation plug-ins which must be viewed using the IBM User Interface Help System Built on Eclipse. For more information, see Installing the documentation ..
DataDirect Java(TM) Database Connectivity (JDBC) drivers Provides the two JDBC drivers that are produced by DataDirect Technologies for enabling connectivity to Microsoft(R) SQL Server. These drivers are the SequeLink and Connect JDBC drivers.

The CDs contain optional supplemental software that provides tool support for your production and development environments. The following table lists the software that is supplied on the CDs.

Software Description
IBM Message Service Clients Provides messaging and Web services capabilities in non-Java environments. Extends interaction between applications and WebSphere ESB by using the provided clients:
  • IBM Message Service Client for C/C++ extends the JMS model for messaging to C and C++ applications.
  • IBM Message Service Client for .NET enables .NET applications to participate in JMS-based information flows.

WebSphere Application Server Toolkit

Provides basic assembly and deployment tooling for publishing to an application server, such as WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. You can also use the toolkit to perform basic unit testing, debugging, and profiling functions.

WebSphere Application Server Edge Components

Provides load balancing, caching, and centralized security. See the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Edge Components Web page for more information.
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V6.2 Supplements Provides WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment functions, licensed for use with WebSphere ESB.
WebSphere Application Server interim fix 6.2.0.13-WS-WAS-IFPK56164 Interim fix for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment 6.2.

IBM Tivoli® Access Manager Servers

Provides authentication and authorization APIs and integration to help you to secure access to business-critical applications and data that is spread across the extended enterprise. See IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business for more information.
Rational® Agent Controller 6.2.5 for Windows The Rational Agent Controller provides a technology for problem determination. The Rational Agent Controller is an enhancement to the Agent Controller from the Autonomic Computing Toolkit. Install the Rational Agent Controller on one of the supported z/OS system environments. Another z/OS system (perhaps an administrator workstation) can use the Log and Trace Analyzer to establish communication with the agent on the remote z/OS system. The Analyzer can request a specific log file from the Rational Agent Controller. The agent uses the appropriate log file parser to normalize the native log to a Common Base Event format and transfers the log file to the Log and Trace Analyzer. Create log file parsers for the Rational Agent Controller with the Common Base Event model builder, which is included in the Autonomic Computing Toolkit.

How to acquire WebSphere ESB for z/OS

You can obtain the product code in any of the following ways:
  • IBM Custom-Built Product Delivery Option (CBPDO) – the system programmer uses SMP/E to unload the product code onto the z/OS system.
  • IBM SystemPac® / ServerPac – the system programmer copies SMP/E data sets that correspond to the CustomPac service level onto the z/OS system.
To buy the software, contact your IBM representative or IBM reseller, or visit the WebSphere ESB home page at http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wsesb/ and select the How to buy link.
