Introduction
Sunny Lee opened the meeting, introduced the NY/NJ WebSphere Family User Group Committee, and thanked ISO for providing the facilities and Infinity for their contributions to making this meeting possible.
The presentation covered general concepts of Certificates and SSL. Practical implementation and application of Certificates and SSL under WebSphere MQ 5.3 was covered in detail. The step-by-step process of enabling this new feature across multiple platforms operating under WebSphere MQ was explained and the trials, tribulations and challenges of using this new capability were discussed. This was a very timely session with many questions on practical implementation and management answered in detail.

Services with MQ and Developing plug-in nodes
Two
topics were covered in this session. 1.) Many of the implications of
using Web Services with WebSphere MQ Family were discussed.
Architecture for using Web Services in a messaging
environment was presented, with consideration to SOAP/HTTP, SOAP/MQ,
XML Validation, transformation
and Security. 2.) Developing custom plug-in nodes for WBI Message
Broker using a TIBCO-MQ bridge as an example.
Development, deployment, and hints and tips were covered in this fast
paced presentation.

Live Demonstration of WebSphere MQ Integration
Broker
This
demonstration reviewed the key components of a Legacy-XML transformation
message flow, the use of some of the application development/debug tools,
and gave hints, tips, and gotcha's for developers.
Speaker: Dean Keister, Director of Business Integration, Centerprise Services
12:30 pm
- 1:15 pm
Practical Business Integration Scenarios
This
presentation showed how WebSphere Family products (WebSphere MQ Integrator,
Workflow) have been used to solve a variety of business problems from Legacy
to XML transformation, failure detection-correction-notification,
workflow/integrator cooperation for file attendance management, and some
tricks used to circumvent product limitations.
Speaker:
Dean Keister, Director of Business Integration, Centerprise
Services
The
capabilities within the IBM Business Integration portfolio were presented in
an understandable ‘what problem are we solving’ technique that made it
clear why the various functions were necessary for a business integration
architecture, relating these capabilities to WebSphere MQ Family
products. Functions complementary to the WebSphere MQ Family
capabilities such as process modeling, and monitoring, common object
business model, cross-referencing, web services, etc. were reviewed.
Showing how all the capabilities work together to provide a full
end-to-end business Integration solution was valuable.

Robert Liburdi, World Wide WebSphere Architect,
IBM Software Group
Software
companies are rushing to use XML as the message format for their middleware.
This is true whether you are Microsoft using it as the format for .NET or
SAP as the core of eXchange Integration (XI). However, XML was not invented
as a message format but as a document mark up meta language.
Pros and Cons of XML usage were reviewed and XML was compared to some
alternatives, such as LU6.2 mapped conversations, name/value pairs, MIME and
ASN-1/BER.
