US 9,866,593 B2 · Inter-domain replication of service information

Abstract

An automated conversion of service information that includes endpoint addresses of service providers and security policies between independent enterprise information technology (IT) management domains is performed using a federated gateway within each of the independent enterprise IT management domains that bridges the independent enterprise IT management domains. The automated conversion of the service information allows at least one service consumer application executing within a first independent enterprise IT management domain to use a local service definition format to access at least one remote service provider application with a remote service interface defined using a different remote service definition format for execution in a second independent enterprise IT management domain. Service provider application endpoint translation is dynamically performed, in response to at least one service request for the at least one remote service provider application, using the federated gateway within each of the independent enterprise IT management domains.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

performing an automated conversion of service information comprising endpoint addresses of service providers and security policies between independent enterprise information technology (IT) management domains using a federated gateway within each of the independent enterprise IT management domains that bridges the independent enterprise IT management domains, where the automated conversion of the service information allows at least one service consumer application executing within a first independent enterprise IT management domain to use a local service definition format to access at least one remote service provider application with a remote service interface defined using a different remote service definition format for execution in a second independent enterprise IT management domain;
and
dynamically performing, in response to at least one service request for the at least one remote service provider application, service provider application endpoint translation using the federated gateway within each of the independent enterprise IT management domains that bridges the independent enterprise IT management domains.

A system, comprising:

a federated gateway comprising at least a federated enterprise service bus (ESB) comprising a local ESB operable within a first independent enterprise information technology (IT) management domain to interconnect with a remote ESB operable within a second independent enterprise IT management domain;
and
a processor programmed to:
perform an automated conversion of service information comprising endpoint addresses of service providers and security policies between independent enterprise IT management domains using the federated gateway within each of the independent enterprise IT management domains that bridges the independent enterprise IT management domains, where the automated conversion of the service information allows at least one service consumer application executing within the first independent enterprise IT management domain to use a local service definition format to access at least one remote service provider application with a remote service interface defined using a different remote service definition format for execution in the second independent enterprise IT management domain;
and
dynamically perform, in response to at least one service request for the at least one remote service provider application, service provider application endpoint translation using the federated gateway within each of the independent enterprise IT management domains that bridges the independent enterprise IT management domains.

3 more elements

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium including computer readable program code, where the computer readable program code when executed on a computer causes the computer to:

perform an automated conversion of service information comprising endpoint addresses of service providers and security policies between independent enterprise information technology (IT) management domains using a federated gateway within each of the independent enterprise IT management domains that bridges the independent enterprise IT management domains, where the automated conversion of the service information allows at least one service consumer application executing within a first independent enterprise IT management domain to use a local service definition format to access at least one remote service provider application with a remote service interface defined using a different remote service definition format for execution in a second independent enterprise IT management domain;
and
dynamically perform, in response to at least one service request for the at least one remote service provider application, service provider application endpoint translation using the federated gateway within each of the independent enterprise IT management domains that bridges the independent enterprise IT management domains.
