Slide9 : Support for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
What is SOA? : SOA is an architecture, not a product
SOA is a new approach to building IT systems using services
Services are business processes that are available on a network
They are accessed easily in a standardized fashion without knowledge of the underlying implementation
SOA encourages service reuse
Easily apply existing services to new business processes
Reduces the time to implement a new business process = business agility
Unlike previous models, SOA provides a comprehensive foundation to deliver on the promise of service reuse What is SOA?
SOA and the HP NonStop server—overview : In an agile enterprise, services must be available, scalable, performant, and manageable
Requirements tailor made for the HP NonStop server platform
Most NonStop applications are already 90% SOA enabled because the service model is the natural way to create applications on NonStop servers
Think of “Create Order” or “Fulfill Order” SOA services as Pathway serverclasses, NonStop Tuxedo services, NonStop Servlets for JSP, or NonStop CORBA objects
The NonStop server supports the necessary tools and infrastructure to support the WS-I Basic Profile
SOA services deployed on NonStop servers are fully standards compliant and may interoperate with SOA services on other compliant platforms
The NonStop server is an excellent platform for providing SOA services
Preserve investments in existing applications by leveraging them as part of a heterogeneous SOA application
Develop new applications for the NonStop server that conform to the SOA standard model SOA and the HP NonStop server—overview
SOA and the HP NonStop server—technologies for service access : HP iTP WebServer software
Provides the basic HTTP protocol service and acts a scalable and available container for other components (using NonStop TS/MP internally)
HP NonStop SOAP software
NonStop SOAP (plus iTP WebServer) supports the standard runtime SOAP over HTTP SOA service access protocol
Runs as scalable serverclasses under iTP WebServer
GUI wizard to easily expose Pathway servers as SOA services
Contains a built-in service adapter for Pathway servers
Customizable user exits to enable use with SOA services implemented in other application environments
Create your own service adapter
Includes an XML document parser and the open-source gSOAP toolkit for access to remote SOA services using SOAP SOA and the HP NonStop server—technologies for service access
SOA and the HP NonStop server—technologies for service access in Java : HP NonStop Servlets for JavaServer Pages (NonStop Servlets for JSP) software
Container for hosting SOA services written in Java
Fortified version of the Apache Tomcat Servlet and JSP container
Runs as scalable serverclasses under iTP WebServer
Apache Axis2 software
Open-source product
Runs under NonStop Servlets for JSP container (inherits scalability, ...)
Includes a SOAP protocol engine and tools for WSDL generation
Alternative to NonStop SOAP if you want to use Java SOA services
BEA WebLogic Server software
Complete J2EE and SOA application server infrastructure
HTTP and SOAP server for service access
Servlet/JSP/EJB container for service adapters and business logic
Supports additional WS-* SOA standard services SOA and the HP NonStop server—technologies for service access in Java

at least doubles certain limits from those of release 2.1 including
Number of concurrent links to server processes per processor
Number of concurrent Pathsend requesters per processor
Number of concurrent, outstanding “serverclass_send_” requests per processor
TS/MP 2.3 – Pathway domains : TS/MP 2.3 – Pathway domains Pathway domains for planned outage elimination

Pathway/iTS Enhancements : Pathway/iTS Enhancements SCOBOL4 General Availability [H06.10]
A new release of PathTCP providing enhancements for Pathway SCOBOL requesters (pre-req is TS/MP 2.1)
Dialogs will be supported for SCOBOL requesters, based on the existing Pathsend dialog verbs
Increases SCOBOL send message size limits by enabling multiple messages to be sent within the same transaction to the same server process
PathTCP will share links across both PathTCP and TERM objects by using Pathsend instead of WRITEREAD based send operations
