Choosing the best EAI scenario solution for SAP Netweaver

Copyright © 2005 by Klee Associates, Inc. Page 1 www.SAPtips.com Side-Stepping the Labyrinth - Part II: Choosing the Best EAI Scenario Solution for SAP ® NetWeaver™ By Axel Angeli and Lynton Grice Editor’s Note: Our readers who attended Axel Angeli’s presentation at the SearchSAP.com conference in Chicago recently may have gotten a sneak peak at this white paper already. For readers seeing this 48-page white paper for the first time, you will find it thoughtful, provocative, and comprehensive. As with Part I of this discussion, this paper is co-authored by Axel Angeli (in Germany) and Lynton Grice (in South Africa). Their virtual international collaboration is made possible by numerous integrated entities from their local PCs to cables, routers, servers, and satellites, resting finally on our server in beautiful Colorado, awaiting your download. In this extensive paper, Axel and Lynton finalize their discussion of EAI options for SAP NetWeaver. They evaluate

and discuss the pros and cons of the larger “high-end” products as well as many of the smaller, more obscure packages on today’s market, and step forward with their personal recommendation. We won’t give the winner away here, you’ll want to read the paper for yourself and understand how they reached their decision. Be sure to download and print the paper, as you’ll surely want to use it for later reference or for making a case with management as you implement your EAI initiatives. To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind, to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. Hamlet, William Shakespeare Making the transition to a service-oriented architecture (SOA) will be a decision that will transform the way that your company does business. It will be a transition for the better, of course, but also a decision whose impact will be felt for a decade, if not even for the century. Therefore, deciding for or against a special product or vendor won’t just be like buying a piece of software, it will be a decision...

Service Modeling with SoaML

Tutorial title: Service Modeling with SoaML Abstract: SoaML (Service oriented Architecture Modeling Language) is a new OMG standard for Service Modeling adopted in December 2009, with both a UML profile and a metamodel for modelling of services. This tutorial introduces the concepts and practical use of SoaML with corresponding tool and methodology support. The tutorial is provided in two parts. Part I provides an introduction to SoaML for Service Modeling and Service oriented architectures and Part II shows how SoaML can be used and extended in a wider context including a link to business modelling with BPMN 2.0, modelling of service variability, and support for semantic web services and agent modelling. It is also shown how SoaML can form a foundation for future enhancements, like support for P2P/Grid/Cloud etc. that can be build upon the SoaML metamodel and UML profile. The SoaML standard has been developed with support from the

European FP7 SHAPE project and members of the SoaML standardisation team and the SHAPE project will present the tutorial. The tutorial will be using running examples, and the participants will get access to a SoaML toolkit for their own computer to use as part of the tutorial. Keywords: Service modelling, Model Driven Architecture, Service oriented architecture Tutorial objectives The tutorial objective is to educate the audience on the practical use of SoaML, and to understand how SoaML can be used as a foundation for further extensions based on the SoaML metamodel and UML profile. Target audience The target audience are modellers, system developers and researchers familiar with standard UML and the principles of model driven engineering and architecrture (MDE/MDA). The target audience should have an interest in learning how to use the new SoaML standard for service modelling, with associated methodology and tools, and also to understand how SoaML can be related to process modelling in BPMN 2.0 and how SoaML can be extended to support other relevant modelling aspects, such as service variability, semantic services and service-oriented agent modelling. Tutorial Organization Part 1: Overview of SoaML. Concepts and principles, Capability models and relationship to business modelling, Introduction to SoaML...
