The First Application Server

What is WebSphere?

The WebSphere Product Family on System i

Q & A



AS/400… The First Application Server …

•Younger than PC technology and able to run multiple workloads on a single Server

•Serving thousands of Users on a Single Machine

The AS stood for Application System

•Ran 2000+ RPG and COBOL Applications the first Day!

AS/400Born June 1988



Database

PC Client

•Sun Microsystems create Java and developers begin to write Applets

Applets

Later the next Decade (mid-late 90’s) …

•PC Clients could now be thin

Legacy & ERP

•The Web Application Server is created and Servlets did the heavy lifting

UNIX

JSP’s Servlets JDBC

View Controller Model



What is WebSphere?

We Make IT Work for Business

In 2000 IBM Launched “It’s a Different Kind of World, You need a Different Kind of Software” and the WebSphere Brand was created

In 2002 WebSphere Application Server surpassed BEA with the highest “Market Share” for Web Application Servers

WebSphere Started as a Web Application Serverin 1998



Like any new building project you start with the Foundation…

WebSphere Application ServerWebSphere Application Server

is the Foundation is the Foundation for running Java Applicationsfor running Java Applications



Why use WebSphere Application Server?

Needs? A integrated platform for NEW Java based applications on System i

A standards based platform for maximum application compatibility

Support for a broad number of platforms

Advanced capabilities for applications that need to be Highly Available

WebSphere Products? WebSphere Application Server Express (WAS), WebSphere Application

Server Network Deployment (WAS ND)

Why System i? It’s in there! WebSphere Application Server Express has been bundled with

every license of i5/OS.(since V5R3).

WAS Express is designed to install on System i in minutes with no processor restrictions (WAS Express is limited to 2 processors on others)

The bundled IBM Business Solutions get you going fast with applications that are useful

5250 Refacing5250 Refacing

Turning Green to GUI…Turning Green to GUI…or a portlet or a web serviceor a portlet or a web service



Why Modernize Applications?

Needs? Deliver existing applications in a browser, portal, or as a web service

Reduce training costs by simplifying complex 5250 OLTP screens with consolidated point and click screens

Run applications as a batch workload instead of Interactive

WebSphere Products? IBM WebFacing Tool or HATS Studio for developing the modernized

screens

IBM WebFacing Deployment Tool with HATS Technology (WDHT) to run these modernized applications

Why System i? If you have a compiler (that ships with 5722-WDS) you already have HATS

Studio and the IBM Webfacing Tool to develop these new GUI’s

New pricing make it cheaper to deploy HATS workloads on System i than other systems



The 5250 Refacing Bottom Line

The IBM WebFacing Tool HATS Toolkit

•Both tools can web enable existing i5 Applications

•Development Tools for both tools are shipped with the IBM WebSphere Development Studio CD bundle

•With V5R4 both tools will need the IBM Webfacing Deployment Tool with HATS Technology (WDHT) take full advantage of their capabilities and to deploy the screens when completed

•Both tools can web enable existing i5 Applications

•Development Tools for both tools are shipped with the IBM WebSphere Development Studio CD bundle

•With V5R4 both tools will need the IBM Webfacing Deployment Tool with HATS Technology (WDHT) take full advantage of their capabilities and to deploy the screens when completed

Why Partner Integration?

Needs? Exchange EDI documents over the Internet instead of using expensive Value

Added Networks

WebSphere Products? WebSphere Partner Gateway Express

Why System i? Many System i customers already have EDI Translators, combining them

with WebSphere Partner Gateway Express can save money by using the Internet



WebSphere Partner Gateway – Express

Improve Operations – EDI Over the Web

What is …..?

… a service?

A repeatable business task – e.g.,

check customer credit; open new

account

… service oriented architecture (SOA)?

An IT architectural style that supports

integrating your business as linked

services

"SOA impacts every aspect of IT and business.”

IBM_USER

I don't think you need this chart to describe what is an SOA.



Deploying or Consuming Web Services

Deploy an RPG or COBOL application as Web Service provider Make your core applications available to others as a Web service Uses SOAP engine in WebSphere Application Server and a Java wrapper to

the RPG application With V5R4, the new web services wizard in WDSC generates a Web service

from RPG or COBOL source in a single step

Enable an RPG or COBOL application as a requester to a Web Service Link your core applications to Web applications and services provided by

others With V5R4 XML Toolkit now provides open APIs based on Apache AXIS to

connect RPG out to a Web service
