IWS - Enable tiered architecture for IBM Integrated Web Services for IBM i

Enable IWS to connect over a network from the IWS to a backend/RPG partition. The toolbox driver is used for the connection today, but the implementation in IWS is not supporting installing the IWS to another LPAR vs where the RPG program is installed. In a tiered environment separation of DB/RPG and fronting services (for example GUI, Web Services, Java Applications) are necessary to provide highest possible availability.


Use Case:

Provide a tiered architecture similar to when building web services in java and deploy them in WAS. A common tiered architecture is to provide a clustered or stand-alone java application tier outside of the backend/RPG environment. This provides a solution to always be available with the java tier and provides a higher availability of those services vs being available on the backend/RPG environment. It is also future compatible for HA.

Instead of having for example 25 IWS solutions in 25 LPARs for production it is possible to provide a common java/IWS tier on two LPARs which improves administration and provides less TCO.

The benefit of using the IWS vs a home developed web service in java/WAS is the development package automating the creation.

    IBM agrees with the request and a solution appears to be desirable and feasible. IBM intends to provide a solution. However, IBM's plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.
