WebSphere Service Registry & Repository Services

In This Section:

Smooth Start

Is your company starting with WebSphere Service Registry & Repository (WSRR)? When properly implemented, WSRR can provide a searchable repository of service definitions and metadata that enables proper governance of SOA environments at the enterprise level. The presence of such a repository can be critical in encouraging the reuse and objective service level decision making that provide the primary business benefits of SOA. An experienced MQSoftware consultant can get your implementation off on the right foot with a clean base configuration and a well established set of best practice policies and procedures for the use of the repository.

Smooth Start deliverables:

  • WebSphere Service Registry & Repository will be installed on any of the WebSphere Service Registry & Repository supported systems - AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux, or Windows.
  • The WebSphere Service Registry & Repository Service Lifecycle (development and promotion procedures for services) will be customized to match that of your enterprise
  • Existing Service Definitions and their associated metadata will be gathered and entered into WebSphere Service Registry & Repository
  • WebSphere Service Registry & Repository Administrative and User security will be configured for your users
  • Procedures will be established for importing service definitions and linking them to metadata for future service development.
