August 2007 – May 2008

Project Description: MPA04 project - Proof of concept code that transfers money between 2 legacy systems, Performance test of proof of concept code, MPA04 project - Framework code generating web service endpoints. Business motivation was real time transfers between MECH system (checking) accounts and NCCS system (mastercard, line of credit).

Java: Developed proof of concept code on using Web Services – Business Activity (WS-BA) and Web Services – Activity Session (WS-AS) (both based on Web Services – Coordination) to make live payments from an accounting System (MECH) to a credit card system (NCCS).

Java/JSP: The client is a JSP / Servlet front end application is sending web services requests to a server with an EJB – Web Services end point for (in WS-BA case) and an Servlet - Web Services end point for (in WS-AS case).

The client stub is either web service stub (WS-AS) or EJB client calling through a web service stub (WS-BA; to start Business Activity).

Proof of concept testing involved exception triggering in specific points that will have to subsequently trigger compensation.

Since this is was newly developed technology, worked closely with IBM Hursley Lab (UK) developers that developed the J2EE container support for WS-BA.

Performance test of proof of concept code.

The web client sent requests to the server running on either zOS WebSphere 6.1 or Wintel WebSphere 6.1.

Tested two code bases: one developed by BMO and another one developed by IBM Hursley Lab (UK) using JAMon deployed in the end points on both server and client.

Used as a driver Apache JMeter with customized scripting and configuration files.

The code had to scale up to 25 of transaction per second and not use more than 20 million instructions per transaction (to contain operational costs).

Testing involved both code changes and environment changes to improve performance.

Proof of concept - Performance of application deployed in multiple EAR files (IBM RAD 7.0; IBM WebSphere 6.1/Windows 2003; IBM WebSphere 6.1/zOS; ClearCase) Build proof of concept project that used EJB as back-end components deployed in separate EAR files. EAR files were deployed to same cluster and different clusters in order to measure performance. The proof of concept measured response times and MIPS (million instructions per second used by zOS system). Of interest would be to deploy multiple applications as EJB components (split an EAR in multiple EAR files) that connect to different backend (CICS) legacy systems and are reusable.

MPA04 project - Performance test of proof of concept code (IBM RAD 7.0; EJB stateless/entity; Apache JMeter; JAMon; Web Services IBM WebSphere 6.1/Windows 2000; IBM WebSphere 6.1/zOS; ClearCase) Performance test of proof of concept code. The web client sent requests to the server running on either zOS WebSphere 6.1 or Wintel WebSphere 6.1. Tested two code bases: one developed by BMO and another one developed by IBM Hursley Lab (UK) using JAMon deployed in the end points on both server and client. Used as a driver Apache JMeter with customized scripting and configuration files. The code had to scale up to 25 of transaction per second and not use more than 20 million instructions per transaction (to contain operational costs). Testing involved both code changes and environment changes to improve performance.

MPA04 project - Proof of concept code that transfers money between 2 legacy systems (IBM RAD 7.0; EJB stateless/entity; Web Services IBM WebSphere 6.1/Windows 2000; IBM WebSphere 6.1/zOS; ClearCase) Developed proof of concept code on using Web Services – Business Activity (WS-BA) and Web Services – Activity Session (WS-AS) (both based on Web Services – Coordination) to make live payments from an accounting System (MECH) to a credit card system (NCCS). The client is a JSP / Servlet front end application is sending web services requests to a server with an EJB – Web Services end point for (in WS-BA case) and an Servlet - Web Services end point for (in WS-AS case). The client stub is either web service stub (WS-AS) or EJB client calling through a web service stub (WS-BA; to start Business Activity). Proof of concept testing involved exception triggering in specific points that will have to subsequently trigger compensation. Since this is was newly developed technology I had to work closely with IBM Hursley Lab (UK) developers that developed the J2EE container support for WS-BA.

Version Info Application (IBM RAD 6.0; Ant; Bat; Jacl; JSP; Servlet; IBM WebSphere 6.0/Windows 2000; IBM WebSphere 6.0/zOS; DB2 7.1/zOS; ClearCase; Hibernate) Wrote a web (JSP, Servlet) application displaying all initiatives deployed in different environments. Every initiative index.html page can be access as a link from the main JSP screen. Also on the main screen is displayed the ClearCase build version for every initiative and “Build” buttons so that developers can start remotely a build (Ant) on the build server for a given initiative. The remote build start will also do an automatic deployment of the built EAR file on one of the integration servers.

Maintenance of build scripts of Java mid tier code (IBM RAD 6.0; Ant; Bat; Jacl; IBM WebSphere 6.0/Windows 2000; IBM WebSphere 6.0/zOS; DB2 7.1/zOS; ClearCase) This involved changing of existing scripts and developing of new scripts (for deployment and patching of ear file). The previous build scripts created under a large project model didn’t match a new model of multiple small initiatives. The build scripting language used mainly Ant launched from Windows Bat script running in Eclipse environment. Automatic deployment is performed though Mbeans is using JACL. Code is retrieved from ClearCase, builds and is deployed to IBM WebSphere 6.0 by the retrieve/build/deploy scripts.
