Management Agent for WebSphere deploys two components within each WebSphere application server instance:
● Agent The agent is a message handler, which intercepts messages and enforces policies for web services deployed within the application server.
● Management Service The management service has two main tasks:
− It discovers the endpoints of services deployed within the application server, and registers those endpoints with Policy Manager.
− It acts as a communications intermediary between Policy Manager and the agent. Examples include requests to manage endpoints; requests to add, delete, enable and disable policies; requests to query log data.
Complementary policies for client-side policy enforcement has been deprecated. The Embedded Client-Side Proxy feature has been introduced to apply explicit client-side policies.
● Service Probe for IBM WebSphere Application Server The main task of Service Probe is to:
− Allow monitoring and management of Java EE Web Services and Service References (JAX-RPC/JAX-WS) which are deployed and running in IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1.x using TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Performance Manager.The following Figure 1 illustrates this structure, and the communication flows involved in these tasks.Figure 1 Deployment Structure
