IBM WebSphere Process Server works with several other IBM products including WebSphere Integration Developer, WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Adapters, WebSphere Business Integration Adapters, WebSphere Application Server Toolkit, WebSphere Business Modeler, WebSphere Business Monitor, Rational Application Developer, Rational Software Architect, WebSphere Partner Gateway, and WebSphere Portal.
IBM® WebSphere® Process Server is based on the robust J2EE 1.4 infrastructure and associated platform services provided by WebSphere Application Server, version 6.0.2. WebSphere Process Server is built on WebSphere Application Server, Network Deployment, version 6.0.2. WebSphere Process Server also works with infrastructure and platform services from WebSphere Application Server, version 6.0.2. For more information about WebSphere Application Server, see the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment documentation.
IBM WebSphere Integration Developer is the development environment for WebSphere Process Server. For more information about WebSphere Integration Developer, see the IBM WebSphere Business Process Management Version 6.0 information center.
WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Integration Developer include additional capabilities that make it possible to model, build, deploy, install, configure, run, monitor, and manage integration applications. WebSphere Integration Developer complements IBM WebSphere Business Modeler, version 6.0, and IBM WebSphere Business Monitor, version 6.0, and can be used in conjunction with IBM Rational® Application Developer, version 6.0.x, or IBM Rational Software Architect, version 6.0.x, to create a unique, integrated and powerful integration development platform. For more information about these products, see the WebSphere Business Modeler information center, the WebSphere Business Monitor information center, the Rational Application Developer Information Center, and the Rational Software Architect Information Center.
WebSphere Process Server is powered by the same technology available with IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus. Enterprise service bus capability is part of the underlying functionality of WebSphere Process Server, and no additional license for WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus is required to take advantage of these capabilities. However, you can deploy additional stand-alone licenses of WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus around your enterprise to extend the connectivity reach of the process integration solutions powered by WebSphere Process Server. For example, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus can be installed closer to an SAP application to host an IBM WebSphere Adapter for SAP and to transform SAP messages before sending that information across the network to a business process choreographed by WebSphere Process Server.
IBM WebSphere Adapters, version 6.0.x, and IBM WebSphere Business Integration Adapters (based on IBM WebSphere Business Integration Framework, version 2.6) allow for integration of existing Enterprise Information System infrastructure and applications that are deployed on WebSphere Process Server. For more information about these products, see the IBM WebSphere Business Integration information center.
In addition, you can extend existing applications for reuse in enterprise processes with an IBM enterprise modernization portfolio that includes IBM CICS® Transaction Gateway and IBM WebSphere Host Access Transformation Services. For more information about these products, see the CICS Transaction Gateway Library and the WebSphere Host Access Transformation Services (HATS) Information Center.
The IBM WebSphere Application Server Toolkit is a set of basic tools that help you to assemble, test, and deploy Web services in WebSphere Process Server. For more information, see the WebSphere Application Server Toolkit documentation on the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment documentation.
IBM WebSphere Partner Gateway used with WebSphere Process Server supports business-to-business applications. A limited license of WebSphere Partner Gateway is included with WebSphere Process Server. For more information about WebSphere Partner Gateway, see the WebSphere Partner Gateway documentation.
IBM WebSphere Portal provides access to various administrative functions and allows portlets to have access to business processes and other Service Component Architecture services in WebSphere Process Server. For more information about WebSphere Portal, see the WebSphere Portal Documentation Library.
