The integration technology of iWay Software achieves loose coupling among applications by focusing on Service Enablement, Service Composition, and Service Consumption, three critical areas of integration.

The general availability of iWay 6.0.1 Service Manager (SM) offers improvements in:

• Standards Compliance

  iSM 6.0.1 meets current RFC requirements for XML, protocols and security controls. This includes a new, fully-compliant XPATH capability.

• XPATH 1.0

  Currently in use in high-security installations, iSM 6.0.1 is based on accepted standards for encryption, document digital signature, user authentication, and authorization.

• Performance

  Significant improvements in throughput and latency make iSM 6.0.1 a prime component of high-performance networks and business processing solutions. New HTTP and AS2 solutions significantly improve message rates and transaction volumes along with full RFC compliance.

• Protocol Enhancements

  iWay 6.0.1 provides support for HTTP 1.1 including support for REST messages allowing for integration in a Web-Oriented Architecture (WOA).

• Controllability

  A new telnet-based facility permits remote control of the server for STCU activities, such as starting and stopping listeners, setting run-time options, investigating server operations, and so on.

• Data Quality

  A new, integrated Data Quality engine offers advances in data validation and Master Data management situations.

• Trading Partner Management

  A new trading partner manager offers extended control of trading partner-specific information.

• Complex Event Processing

  A new real-time data feeder supports detailed analysis of business activity passing through the iWay Service Manager.

• Transactionality

  Advances in iWay transactionality improve integrity of business processes. The Communication Resource Manager (CRM) Gateway in conjunction with iWay Service Manager supports two-phase commit processing for the IMS and CICS adapters.
