A business process usually depends upon several business functions for support. A business process rarely operates in isolation, i.e. other business process will depend on it and it will depend on other processes. Following is list of business process elements.
A Business Service is defined by three primary elements:
The service can be made available over a network, either internally or externally, using open protocols, advanced web service standards, and industry business semantics such as ACORD, HIPAA, HL7, or MISMO.
The entire changelist is either accepted rejected — there is no notion of partial acceptance of a changelist.
A Business Service can support multiple channels like Web Service, Portal, IVR, Fax, WAP, and FTP.
Eclipse provides extensible tools and frameworks that span the software development lifecycle, including support for modeling, language development environments for Java®, C/C++ and others, testing and performance, business intelligence, rich client applications and embedded development.
Eclipse is at the base of IBM WebSphere Business Services Fabric tools. A large, vibrant ecosystem of major technology vendors, innovative start-ups, universities and research institutions and individuals extend, complement and support the Eclipse Platform.
Its definition includes an endpoint URL, use type (protocols like http and ftp) and a collection of Web service interfaces it implements.
Optimized for highly scalable performance on application servers, databases and messaging infrastructures from IBM and Oracle, IBM Business Services Dynamic Assembler has proven interoperability with standards-based BPEL process orchestration platforms and ESB infrastructures.
As most of the IT companies provide a Change Management and tracking systems like ClearQuest® and Jira, IBM SOBA Life Cycle Governance leverages what customer has, and provides integration with the Change Management System (hence referred to as External Governance System).
As part of reference implementation, IBM SOBA Life Cycle Governance provides integration with Clear Quest.
Loose coupling means that the client of a service is essentially independent of the service. The way a client communicates with the service (typically using Web Service communication standards) doesn't depend on the implementation of the service. Differing implementations are free to change without impacting others as long as the interface remains the same. This also means that the client doesn't have to know very much about the service to use it.
Policies define the business requirements that have to be met when a consumer requests a service.
Resources include:
Simply stated, SOA is a computing model in which small, loosely coupled pieces of business functionality are published, consumed, and combined with other applications over a shared services network. When Web services standards are used, these shared services become highly interoperable and incredibly flexible, leading to a new class of robust, loosely coupled applications. As a result, Service Oriented Architectures have become an attractive alternative to the more tightly-coupled, object-oriented application models of the past.
A SOBA is a collection of Business Services built around a complex, end-to-end business process and optimized to a specific vertical industry. SOBAs use Web services and industry semantic standards; are able to evolve over time; and take advantage of semantic and data interoperability.
Business Services elevate the design, composition, and deployment of Web services to an enterprise level to address business requirements. Abstracting to enterprise-level Business Services provide more meaningful building blocks for the task of automating enterprise and ecosystem-scale business scenarios.
SOBAs dynamically and on demand integrate people, processes, and information across application and enterprise boundaries helping businesses:
