Portals provide the user with a single point of access to a wide variety of content, data and services throughout an enterprise. The content displayed in portlets on the portal page can be personalized based on user preferences, site design and marketing campaigns. IBM WebSphere Commerce Portal provides an integrated solution for aggregating and personalizing commerce content and data by leveraging the technologies of WebSphere Commerce V5.4 and WebSphere Portal V4.2. When using the WebSphere Commerce Portal, users have a single point of access to personalized content in portlets from Web browser clients and mobile devices. This IBM Redbooks publication provides an overview of the WebSphere Commerce Portal benefits, features and architecture. The focus of the book is an end-to-end working example scenario for a commerce enabled portal B2B store. The working example includes the following topics; business requirements analysis and solution design, multi-tiered runtime implementation procedures, development environment with source level debug of commerce portlets and JSPs, create a commerce enabled portal store using WebSphere Studio Application Developer, create Dynamic Context Groups, and mobile client access.

This study investigates tandem queues with two service nodes. The consumer needs to obtain services at the following two nodes in this system: the IBM online sphere for artificial intelligence (AI) and the complex RDX mechanism. Before the second essential service (SES), by utilizing AI to validate the data in IBM WebSphere and insight, the first essential service (FES) begins with the RDX mechanism. If there are fewer customers than “a” after a service at node 1 is finished, the server departs for a subsequent assignment. As soon as the vacation value reached the threshold, the service began. After the service concludes at node 1, it moves on to node 2. In this study, the supplemental variable technique is used to determine the probability-generating function (PGF) at any given time. A numerical solution also yields certain features of the queueing system.

This IBM Redbooks publication is part of a series of four volumes that are related to WebSphere Everyplace Access Version 5.0. You can use this series to plan, install, administer, and develop mobile applications to run in a WebSphere Everyplace Access Version 5.0 environment. The information that this series provides targets business-to-employee enterprise applications. However, most of the scenarios presented apply to business-to-consumer applications as well. This book provides step-by-step sample scenarios that describe how to implement Intelligent Notification Services to notify Lotus Sametime, SMTP e-mail, and other channel deliveries. It also includes scenarios that illustrate the Location Aware Services function which provides access to location-based services from multiple vendors using available APIs. It also includes a chapter that discusses how to cluster WebSphere Everyplace Access nodes as well as how to integrate your server with IBM WebSphere Connection Manager to implement single sign-on. This book is targeted to application developers, IT architects, IT specialists, and administrators who want to install, administer, and develop enterprise applications to run on IBM WebSphere Everyplace Access.

This IBM Redbooks publication provides an introduction to the Enterprise Workload Manager (EWLM). In addition to describing the overall product concept and functionality, it presents a detailed discussion of the elements that are part of the solution.

This IBM Redbooks publication discusses the integrated environment of DB2 UDB and WebSphere Application Server (WAS), including design considerations, best practices, operation, monitoring, and performance tuning. We provide an overview of the architecture and main components of both WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 and DB2 UDB V8. We introduce their key application and system performance tuning parameters. We discuss the general steps to get DB2 UDB V8 and WAS V5 working together. We also discuss the available JDBC drivers shipped with DB2 UDB V8 and their differences. The steps to set up DB2 for z/OS as the data source using DB2 Connect is also included. We describe the performance tuning tools, methodology, guidelines, and the application performance best practices for DB2 UDB, WAS, and the DB2 UDB/WAS integrated environment. Finally, we present some common methods of diagnosing the problems related to DB2 UDB and/or WebSphere Application Server. We provide some problem scenarios where you will learn the problem determination methodology and mechanisms to resolve such problems.

Portals provide users with a single point of access to multiple types of information and applications through a Web interface. IBM WebSphere Portal for Multiplatforms is one of the industries’ most comprehensive portal offerings. It contains a wide range of portal technologies that help you develop and maintain B2C, B2B, and B2E portals. WebSphere Portal provides considerable flexibility in addressing dynamic changes in marketplace conditions through advanced integration, Web services, and collaboration technology.

This IBM Redbooks publication gives a broad understanding of the IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager architecture and internals. The in-depth discussion covers the product’s inner workings and includes log files to illustrate the processing of its various components. IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager is designed to display all aspects of the enterprise’s IT system as they affect the users’ business systems. This book enables easy implementation of IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager in distributed environments. Procedures are illustrated with examples of the installation and configuration process to explain the deployment of IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager into a customer’s environment. This book also covers the implementation of IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager in z/OS with most of its major interfaces. IBM Tivoli Business Systems Manager can monitor all major IBM subsystems in z/OS, including IMS, DB2, CICS, storage, and Web solutions. A book about concepts and implementation would not be complete without a comprehensive discussion about using, maintaining, and troubleshooting the system. We devote several sections to these topics. Please note that the additional material referenced in the text is not available from IBM.

The WebSphere Voice Server product is a member of the IBM WebSphere software family. It provides a platform that enables the creation of voice applications through industry standards such as VoiceXML and Java. The WebSphere Voice Server facilitates the deployment of voice applications by interfacing with voice standards such as Cisco VoIP, IBM DirectTalk, and Dialogic platforms. It further aids the development of these applications by providing development tools. This IBM Redbooks publication discusses the functionality of WebSphere Voice Server in the context of real business environments. We introduce the voice environment and the WebSphere Voice Server. We cover in great detail the various operating platforms supported by WebSphere Voice Server (Dialogic, Cisco, and DirectTalk - also referred to as WebSphere Voice Response). The product has been further enhanced to function on both Intel and AIX systems. The book goes into some depth about this new functionality. Additionally, we discuss both the Software Developers Kit (SDK) and the Voice Toolkit that are available for the development of voice applications. A step-by-step approach was taken to walk through the development of a VoiceXML application utilizing both of these tools, and taking advantage of the new functions provided within them.
