Integration Server or Execution Group memory growing
Your IBM Integration Bus (IIB) Integration Servers or WebSphere Message Broker (WMB) Execution Groups appear to be growing in memory indefinitely.

Increasing the maximum JVM heap size of the WebSphere Message Broker HTTP listener

The broker-wide listener process (biphttplistener) handles both inbound requests and outbound replies for the HTTPInput and HTTPReply nodes across an entire broker. By default, this listener is started with a maximum JVM heap size of 192MB. 

It is possible, based on inbound request rates and message sizes, that the default maximum size is not sufficient.


Configuring and administering multi-instance brokers for high availability in IBM WebSphere Message Broker - Part 1
This article describes multi-instance brokers, a feature introduced in WebSphere Message Broker V7 that helps you configure high-availability environments. The feature is based on multi-instance queue managers in WebSphere MQ V7.0.1, which provide multiple instances of a queue manager residing on separate physical servers to provide a highly available configuration. In WebSphere MQ, the multi-instance queue manager's configuration is hosted on shared network storage, so that if the active queue manager fails, another instance automatically assumes the stopped queue manager's configuration and becomes active. Similarly, in Message Broker V7 and V8, a broker's configuration is hosted on network storage to enable the high-availability function.

Configuring and administering multi-instance brokers for high availability in IBM WebSphere Message Broker - Part 2
This article describes the active-active technique for high availability using both vertical and horizontal clustering, which compared to the active-passive technique, improves continuous availability, performance, throughput, and scalability in WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker.

Configuring DSN for IBM Integration Bus in Fedora for Oracle

Configuring DSN for IBM Integration Bus in Fedora for Oracle

I had a very troubling time setting up a DSN for IIB in Fedora. To make sure that others don't have to waste a precious weekend and long time on this rather menial subject I thought I would document it for all.

Assumption :- The software is installed at the location - /opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.0

Here are the steps -

• A sample odbc.ini and odbcinst.ini file are in the 'install_dir/ODBC/unixodbc/' in my case it is /opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.0/ODBC/unixodbc. Copy the files to /var/mqsi/odbc directory. 

           cp /opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.0/ODBC/unixodbc/odbc.ini /var/mqsi/odbc/odbc.ini
           cp /opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.0/ODBC/unixodbc/odbcinst.ini /var/mqsi/odbc/odbcinst.ini

• Change the owner of the files to mqm:mbrkrs using the following command

           chown mqm:mqbrkrs /var/mqs/odbc/odbc.ini

           chown mqm:mqbrkrs /var/mqs/odbc/odbcinst.ini

• Open the '/var/mqsi/odbc/odbc.ini' file. Copy the following lines and paste them just above the copied part- 

           ;# Oracle stanza

           [ORACLEDB]

           Driver=<Your Broker install directory>/ODBC/V7.0/lib/UKora26.so

           Description=DataDirect 7.0 ODBC Oracle Wire Protocol

           HostName=<Your Oracle Server Machine Name>

           PortNumber=<Port on which Oracle is listening on HostName>

           ServiceName=<Your Oracle Service Name>

           CatalogOptions=0

           EnableStaticCursorsForLongData=0

           ApplicationUsingThreads=1

           EnableDescribeParam=1

           OptimizePrepare=1

           WorkArounds=536870912

           ProcedureRetResults=1

           ColumnSizeAsCharacter=1

           LoginTimeout=0

           Make the changes as follows for your DSN. In my case I create a DSN as XE for my XE database. The                driver path may be different as per your installation.

           [XE]

           Driver=/opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.0/ODBC/V7.0/lib/UKora26.so

           HostName=localhost

           PortNumber=1521

           ServiceName=XE

           Not to forget, at the end of the file mention the install directory.

           [ODBC]

           InstallDir=/opt/ibm/mqsi/9.0.0.0/ODBC/V7.0

           UseCursorLib=0           IANAAppCodePage=4

           UNICODE=UTF-8

           Save the file.

• Download the IE02 support pac from the following location - http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24026935 . In my case I used the 64 bit version 2.0.1 and the file name is 'ie02_amd64_linux_2.tar'. Extract the archive file and it create a folder-in my case 'amd64_linux_2'- that will contain 'install-ie02.bin' file. Run the .bin file and install it. I had it installed in the location '/opt/ibm/IE02'
• Now that we have all the files in place we need to setup some environment variables in the .profile file of the user that would control the broker runtime. I have the following variables added to end of my .bash_profile 

           export ODBCINI=/var/mqsi/odbc/odbc.ini

           export ODBCSYSINI=/var/mqsi/odbc/

           export IE02_PATH=/opt/ibm/IE02/2.0.1/

• Use the mqsisetdbparms command to associate the user id and password to the ODBC. The following example command will prompt you for the password and then set the user id and password -

           mqsisetdbparms WBRK9 -n XE -u system

• Restart the broker to allow it to absorb the setting and then issue the command to check if the broker runtime can access the DSN. 

          mqsicvp -n XE -u system -p yourpassword

If the command runs with success you should see the output of the command as follows - 

           BIP8290I: Verification passed for the ODBC environment.

MQ as a Service in IIB

IBM introdued MQ or Database as SOA service in IIB.This is available in earlier versions of WMB as supportpac.

This includes two things :

·         An IRI Specification defining addresses for referencing WebSphere MQ queues and topics in a way similar to URL Web addresses.

·         A WSDL Binding Specification defining extensions for WSDL that describe WebSphere MQ applications, including its connections, the queues or topics it uses, its message exchange pattern (request-response or one-way) and the quality of service and message formats it uses.

Why MQ or Database services can be used as SOA services?Whats the benefit?

·         Architects can catalogue MQ/DB  applications in a standard way as they are specified in WSDL

·         MQ/DB applications can be extended to Webservice stack. These specifications will enable them to write a WMQ/DB service implementation that will interoperate with other WMQ/DB service implementations.

·         Use the Service Definitions to aid the development, management and monitoring of WebSphere MQ/DB applications, particularly where tools exist that take advantage of these specifications

·         Helps in dynamic invocation

Now,lets create a MQ service and use it in a message flow,

REF: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSMKHH_9.0.0/com.ibm.etools.mft.doc//bi12010_.htm

1)Select MQ Service in File->New

2)After creating MQ service,a screen open for MQ service to fill in all the details

3)Provide MQ details to test the connectivity with MQ QueueManager

4)Next step is to choose,whether we are going for One-way or Req-Res modal ,and what are the queues we are selecting

5)Next is to choose ,MQ header information as below,

If we are selecting only one-way,then only Request MQ headers are sufficient to be fillied up

6) Now,we can choose the messagetypes for input messages by first having the messageset in the MQ service folder itself so that it gets referred in the Input (Use XML schema elements àOpen file)

7)Now drag and drop the newly created MQService to the MQInput node.We can now see that all the properties defined in MQ Service gets reflected in the MQInput node’s properties.

About IBM Integration Bus

A high performing, robust enterprise service bus (ESB) to integrate data across heterogeneous IT systems and applications.

Callable message flows in IBM Integration Bus on Cloud

The introduction of callable flows makes IBM Integration Bus (IIB) a truly hybrid integration solution, allowing you to split integration tasks easily between on-premises and cloud IIB installations. You can call on-premises flows securely from the cloud; you can call cloud-based flows securely from IIB on premises. Callable flows facilitate reuse and the dynamic routing of workload.

these two calling and callable flows can be deployed on two different instances, which are not required to run in the same EG/Integration server

To find out more about callable flows, see Callable message flows in the IBM Knowledge Center.
