Introduction : Product Overview

Product Overview
TIBCO ActiveMatrix® Management Agent for WebSphere extends policy management to web services deployed in IBM WebSphere Application Server. The management agent is a plug-in component within WebSphere servers, and cooperates with TIBCO ActiveMatrix Policy Manager.
Management agents installed within WebSphere instances play the same role as the node agents built into ActiveMatrix Service Grid nodes, and they operate in a similar way.
In the XACML usage model, each management agent acts as a policy decision point (PDP) and a policy enforcement point (PEP). Meanwhile, Policy Manager software provides the policy administration point (PAP) and policy repository point (PRP) components.
The Service probe for IBM WebSphere Application Server allows monitoring and management of Java EE Web Services and Service References (JAXRPC/JAXWS) which are deployed and running in IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1.x using TIBCO ActiveMatrix Service Performance Manager.
