WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Description

WebSphere Application Server for z/OS

WebSphere Application Server for z/OS is a proven, high-performance transaction engine that can help you build, run, integrate, and manage dynamic business applications.

This product excels as the foundation for a service-oriented architecture with the following main benefits:

WebSphere Application Server for z/OS supports the following for leading open standards and programming models:

Use continued programming model productivity and ease-of-use enhancements through support for portions of key Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 6.0, including the following:

Enhancements include the Type-safe Criteria API and associated Metamodel API, object relational mapping enhancements with associated JPQL updates, and runtime enhancements, such as pessimistic lock manager, second level (L2) cache, and performance.

You can use JAX-RS root resources and providers in a JCDI-enabled web application archive. As part of Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 6, you can take advantage of the JCDI feature to make applications easier to develop while increasing maintainability.

You can develop clients to dynamically understand RESTful services by inspecting the WADL document

The OSGi applications programming model helps you develop and deploy modular applications that use both Java EE and OSGi technologies. You can design and build applications and suites of applications from coherent, multiversion, reusable OSGi modules that are accessed only through well-defined interfaces. This reduces complexity, and provides the greatest flexibility to maintain and evolve an application after its first release. The OSGi applications support includes the following major features:

This support simplifies unit test outside of the application server.

This provides environmental support to development best practices.

This means that application archive files can be smaller. It also means that, when a library is shared by several OSGi applications, only one copy of the library is loaded into memory.

This allows web applications to use the OSGi module system.

Use the XML support provided with this product to work with web applications that process data using standard XML technologies like Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT), XML Path Language (XPath), and XML Query Language (XQuery).

SCA offers a simple and powerful way to construct applications based on Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

SCA uses the Apache Tuscany open source technology to provide an implementation of the published SCA specifications.

CEA support provides REST and Web Service interfaces to enable existing applications to quickly take advantage of communications features involving phone calls and web collaboration.

Integrated SIP servlet support speeds development of converged communications applications.

WebSphere Application Server for z/OS includes the following highlights to improve productivity and help deliver improved total cost of ownership benefits:

Achieve faster value through a simplified product installation, update, and uninstallation with integrated prerequisite and interdependency checking by using IBM Installation Manager.

Increase your return on investment and improve the flexibility of your business by making application services more reusable and accessible to new users in an enterprise environment using the following enhancements:

You can provide host and port information in the form of a connection name list, which a connection factory or activation specification uses to connect to a multi-instance queue manager.

The CustomProperties policy provides an alternative way to set a binding property instead of using the JAX-WS programming model to set the property on the BindingProvider object.

You can use JAX-RS root resources and providers in a JCDI-enabled web application archive. As part of Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 6, you can take advantage of the JCDI feature to make applications easier to develop while increasing maintainability.

Using a single core application, you can enable multiple modes of communication. The CEA capability delivers call control, notifications, and interactivity and provides the platform for more complex communications.

This feature is now supported when running the application server on z/OS as well as the application server on other operating systems.

You can securely build and deliver applications and environments that use new capabilities in WebSphere Application Server Version 8.0 including the following features:

Now, when you copy a security domain from the global level, the users and groups defined at the global level are also copied to the security domain. This is also true when copying from an existing domain. A newly created security domain that uses the file-based VMM repository requires that the user populate the repository with users and groups.

Both SAML bearer subject confirmation method and SAML sender-vouches subject confirmation methods are supported.

Both SAML bearer subject confirmation method and SAML sender-vouches subject confirmation methods are supported.

As a result of these requests, the login module issues, validates, or exchanges tokens with a WS-Trust Security Token Service, such as the service that is provided with the IBM Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager.

Achieve total cost of ownership benefits through unmatched performance and scalability characteristics including the following advantages:

If the active gateway queue manager fails, the service integration bus can use this information to reconnect to a standby gateway queue manager.

By default, when a WebSphere Application Server process or an application client process starts, and while this process is running, an amount of processing is done to support WebSphere MQ-related function, regardless of whether any WebSphere MQ-related function is ever used.

WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V8.0 includes the following highlights to improve administration as you migrate existing applications and infrastructures to virtual and Cloud deployments:

Focus resources on innovation instead of maintenance, and reduce the costs of managing your environment with effective and simplified management tools.

This capability improves the reliability, availability, and serviceability of the application server and the requests it processes.

HPEL logs can also be viewed with the new administrative console log viewing functionality, which uses Web 2.0 technology to provide a powerful tabular view and simple mechanisms to filter logs that are local or remote.

You can share locks between transaction branches when accessing data where multiple DB2 Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) connections to the same database exist that are in the same transaction, from the same or different servers.

Unlike targets that are WebSphere Application Server profiles and are registered using the registerWithJobManager command at the deployment manager or administrative agent, a remote host target is not required to have any WebSphere Application Server products installed.

The option enables you to easily locate and edit application property values.

By exporting an SCA composite definition, you can preserve information about the composite.

Migrate your application server environment using the WASPreUpgrade and WASPostUpgrade command-line tools or the Migration Management tool graphical user interface (GUI). You can migrate from WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0, 6.1, and 7.0 to WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V8.0

Accelerate developer productivity through integrated and optimized developer tooling. Rational Application Developer Version 8.0 provides capabilities for you to develop applications, assemble and deploy your applications to WebSphere Application Server for z/OS and includes a rapid-deployment feature for testing applications in the Version 8.0 runtime environment.

DMZ secure proxy server

The DMZ secure proxy server for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS can be used to provide a secure platform for your proxy server.

The DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WebSphere Application Server installation allows you to install your proxy server in the demilitarized zone (DMZ), while reducing the security risk that might occur if you choose to install an application server in the DMZ to host a proxy server. The risk is reduced by removing any functionality from the application server that is not required to host the proxy servers, but that could pose a security risk. Installing the secure proxy server in the DMZ rather than the secured zone presents new security challenges. However, the secure proxy server is equipped with capabilities to provide protection from these challenges.

The following capabilities are available to harden the security of the DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WebSphere Application Server and to determine the level of security to assign.

Websphere Application Server plug-ins V8.0

WebSphere Application Server for z/OS works with a web server to route requests for dynamic content, such as servlets, from web applications. The web servers are necessary for directing traffic from browsers to the applications that run on an application server. The web server plug-in uses the XML configuration file to determine whether a request is for an application server.

The WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Web server plug-ins are used to establish and maintain persistent HTTP and HTTPS connections to application servers.

When the plug-in is ready to send a request to the application server, it first checks its connection pool for existing connections. If an existing connection is available the plug-in checks its connection status. If the status is still good, the plug-in uses that connection to send the request. If a connection does not exist, the plug-in creates one. If a connection exists but has been closed by the application server, the plug-in closes that connection and opens a new one.

IBM HTTP Server V8.0

IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS provides advanced web server capabilities with consistent management and security in a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS environment. IBM HTTP Server for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS is based on Apache HTTP Server.

WebSphere Application Server for z/OS requires several thousand additional tracks (3390 tracks) for run-time data sets. The amount of space depends on the application server structure to be used, the applications to be run, and the amount of data storage the applications require.


FMIDs Deleted

Installing WebSphere Application Server for z/OS might result in the deletion of other FMIDs. To see which FMIDs will be deleted, examine the ++VER statement in the SMPMCS of the product.

If you do not want to delete these FMIDs at this time, install WebSphere Application Server for z/OS into separate SMP/E target and distribution zones.

Note: These FMIDs are not automatically deleted from the Global Zone. If you want to delete these FMIDs from the Global Zone, see the SMP/E manuals for instructions.
