SOA architect and Fabric developer user profiles

SOA Architect

Rule of thumb - Any service meta data and service interfaces of coarse grained services is defined by the architect.

Tools Used by an SOA Architect
  • IBM Business Services Composition Studio
  • Modeling tools such as IBM® WebSphere® Business Modeler
  • IBM® Business Services Subscriber Manager

Fabric Developer

Fabric Developers take direction from Fabric Architects and are responsible for implementing the Fabric services defined by the Architect and these implementations are registered as endpoints in the Fabric meta-model. In some instances these endpoints are built from the ground up based on the specifications laid out in IBM Business Services Composition Studio, in some cases, ISV or Legacy Assets are service enabled.

Rule of Thumb — Developers define fine grained service interfaces and implement both coarse and fine grained services defined by the SOA Architect.

Tools Used by a Fabric Developer

  • IBM Business Services Composition Studio
  • Rational® or other IDE
  • IBM Business Services Subscriber Manager
