Packaging for WebSphere Process Server

This topic explains how to acquire WebSphere Process Server and describes the contents of its CD-ROM sets in more detail.

How to acquire WebSphere Process Server

You can obtain the product code in any of the following ways:
  • From the product CD-ROMs.
  • From the Passport Advantage(R) site, where licensed customers can download installation images. These images are grouped by platform into ten electronic assemblies. Each assembly contains all of the images for that platform, allowing you to quickly identify all software needed for that platform. Images map one-for-one to the CD-ROMs listed in the tables in this topic.
To buy the software, contact your IBM representative or IBM reseller, or visit the WebSphere Process Server home page at http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/wps and select the How to buy link in the left column.

Software supplied with WebSphere Process Server

The WebSphere Process Server package contains sets of CD-ROMs organized by platform. Within each platform set is the software that you need to install WebSphere Process Server, to set up your WebSphere Process Server environment, and to assemble and deploy applications. Also included in each set are optional supplemental software programs that provide additional value and tool support for your production and development environments.

Table 1 lists the software that is provided with the WebSphere Process Server product. Not every software program is supplied on every platform. See the following sections for detailed contents per platform:
Table 1. Software supplied with WebSphere Process Server
Software Description
WebSphere Process Server Based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) and as a single, simplified programming model, WebSphere Process Server is the next-generation business process server that delivers and supports all styles of integration based on open standards to automate business processes that span people, workflows, applications, systems, platforms, and architectures. Features new in this release of WebSphere Process Server can be found in the topic What is new in this release.
WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment The industry's premier Java-based application platform, integrating enterprise data and transactions for the dynamic e-business world. The Network Deployment version, upon which WebSphere Process Server is built, delivers a rich application deployment environment with application services that provide enhanced capabilities for transaction management, as well as the security, performance, availability, connectivity, and scalability expected from the WebSphere family of products. This configuration also enables clustering, edge-of-network services, Web services enhancements, and high availability for distributed configurations. For more information about WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, see the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, Version 6.0.x information center.
IBM HTTP Server The foundation of any e-business application is the Web server. IBM HTTP Server features include:
  • Easy installation
  • Support for SSL secure connections
  • Fast Response Cache Accelerator
  • IBM support as part of the WebSphere bundle
  • Hardware crypto support
  • Administration Server that helps to administer and configure IHS servers
  • Help information that uses the easy-to-navigate design that is common to all WebSphere products
Web server plug-ins WebSphere Process Server supplies a unique binary plug-in module and an associated plug-in configuration file for each supported Web server. The Plug-ins Installation wizard installs required files and configures the Web server and the underlying application server of WebSphere Process Server to allow communication between the servers.
WebSphere Application Server Application Clients An application client module is a JavaTM Archive (JAR) file that contains a client for accessing a Java application. Running J2EETM and Thin application clients that communicate with the underlying WebSphere Application Server product requires that elements of the Application Server are installed on the machine on which the client runs. However, if the system does not have the Application Server installed, you can install Application Clients, which provide a stand-alone client runtime environment for your client applications.
IBM Eclipse Help System Downloadable versions of the WebSphere Process Server documentation are packaged as Eclipse document plug-ins and must be viewed using the IBM Eclipse Help System. The help system (or viewer) and document plug-in format are based on an open source approach developed by the Eclipse Project.
IBM Message Service Clients Software that provides messaging and Web services capabilities in non-Java environments. Extend interaction between applications and WebSphere Process Server 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
  • IBM Web Services Client for C/C++ is a JAX-RPC-like Web services client for C++ that enables C and C++ applications to connect to Web services hosted on WebSphere
DataDirect Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) drivers in the Data Direct directory. Two JDBC drivers produced by DataDirect Technologies for enabling connectivity to Microsoft(R) SQL Server. These drivers are the SequeLink and Connect JDBC drivers.

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 tool to perform basic unit testing, debugging, and profiling functions.

WebSphere Application Server Edge Components

Address the needs of highly available, high-volume environments with the Edge components. The Edge components include sophisticated load balancing, caching, and centralized security capabilities. See the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Edge Components Web page for more information.

DB2(R) Universal Database(TM) Enterprise Server Edition for WebSphere Process Server

DB2 Universal Database integrates with WebSphere Process Server, key development tools, and platforms, to help make programmers more efficient than ever. A broad array of autonomic or self-managing capabilities can free more administrator time to focus on driving business value. The ease of use in DB2 and the self-managing characteristics might even eliminate the need for dedicated administrators in smaller implementations.

Tivoli(R) Directory Server for WebSphere Process Server

The IBM Tivoli Directory Server product is a powerful Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) infrastructure. Tivoli Directory Server provides a foundation for deploying comprehensive identity management applications and advanced software architectures. See the IBM Tivoli Directory Server for more information.

IBM Tivoli Access Manager Servers for WebSphere Process Server

IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business integrates with e-business applications right out of the box, to deliver a secure, unified, and personalized e-business experience. By providing authentication and authorization APIs and integration, Tivoli Access Manager for e-business helps you secure access to business-critical applications and data that might be spread across the extended enterprise. See IBM Tivoli Access Manager for e-business for more information.

WebSphere Partner Gateway Advanced Edition

WebSphere Partner Gateway offers a consolidated gateway solution to support EDI and Internet standards that can extend enterprise processes to external trading partners. It provides consolidated partner services for process integration with the WebSphere software platform. Business-to-business (B2B) gateway consolidation centralizes a company's B2B communications with trading partner communities, providing a central point of control for interactions among partners, and providing a security-rich environment at the edge of the enterprise. For more information on WebSphere Partner Gateway Advanced Edition, see WebSphere Partner Gateway Advanced Edition.
