The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Mainframe SOA Implementation Best Practices

Mainframe SOA is concerned with making things work, specifically manageability, reliability, security and change management.  Collectively these terms are known as "Governance.". In order to bring SOA to a mainframe environment, companies must apply Governance to any implementation of Web Services.

 

Mainframe SOA may begin with SOAP and XML capability, but it cannot end there. A registry is essential for discovery and reuse, and mainframe-based WS-Security standards must be implemented on the mainframe to protect sensitive data.

Finally, mainframe SOA should support architectural standards and have built-in policy, change, release, and workflow management.
