WebSphere Message Broker

WebSphere Message Broker is a powerful information broker that allows both business data and information, in the form of messages, to flow between disparate applications and across multiple hardware and software platforms. Rules can be applied to the data that is flowing through the message broker in order to route, store, retrieve, and transform the information.

WebSphere Message Broker offers the following features:

Universal connectivity
– Simplifies application connectivity to provide a flexible and dynamic infrastructure. Routes and transforms messages from anywhere, to anywhere.
– Supports a wide range of protocols, for example, MQ, Java Message Service (JMS) 1.1, HTTP(S), Web services, file, and user-defined protocols
– Supports a broad range of data formats, for example, binary (C/COBOL), XML, industry (SWIFT, EDI, HIPAA, and so on), and user-defined formats
– Supports interactions and operations that allow you to route, filter, transform, enrich, monitor, distribute, decompose, correlate, and more.

Simple programming
– Message flows process and route messages. A message flow contains a series of connected nodes that have the required integration logic that is used to operate on messages as they flow through the broker.
– Message trees describe the data in a format independent manner.
– Transformation options include graphical mapping, Java, extended SQL (ESQL), Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), and WebSphere Transformation Extender.
Operational management and performance
– Extensive administration and systems management facilities for developed solutions
– A wide range of operating system and hardware platforms supported
– Performance of traditional transaction processing environments
Support for adapters
– A collection of software, application program interfaces (APIs), and tools in WebSphere Business Integration Adapters that enable applications to exchange business data through an integration broker. WebSphere Business Integration Adapters rely on JMS messaging.
WebSphere Message Broker contains a choice of transports that enable secure business to be conducted at any time and any place, providing powerful integration using mobile, telemetry, and Internet technologies. WebSphere Message Broker is built upon WebSphere MQ and therefore supports the same transports. However, it also extends the capabilities of WebSphere MQ by adding support for other protocols, including real-time Internet, intranet, and multicast
endpoints.
