WHAT IS IBM MESSAGE BROKER?

                              WebSphere Message Broker (WMB) is IBM's integration broker from the WebSphere product family AND IT allows business information to flow between disparate applications across multiple hardware and software platforms. Rules can be applied to the data flowing through the message broker to route and transform the information. The product is an Enterprise Service Bus providing connectivity between applications and services in a Service Oriented Architecture.
                         
                         riginally the product was developed by NEON (New Era of Networks) Inc., a company which was acquired by Sybase in 2001. The product was developed by New Era of Networks and re-branded as an IBM product called 'MQSeries Integrator' (or 'MQSI' for short). Versions of MQSI ran up to 2.0. The product was added to the WebSphere family and rebranded 'WebSphere MQ Integrator', at version 2.1. After 2.1 the version numbers became more synchronized with the rest of the WebSphere family and jumped to version 5.0. The name changed to 'WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker' (WBIMB). In this version the development environment was redesigned using Eclipse and support for Web services was integrated into the product. Since version 6.0 the product has been known as 'WebSphere Message Broker'. WebSphere Message Broker version 7.0 was announced in October 2009, and WebSphere Message Broker version 8.0 announced in October 2011 
    
OVERVIEW
               
                 he WebSphere Message Broker runtime reduces cost and complexity of IT systems by unifying the method a company uses to implement interfaces between disparate systems. WMB runtime forms the Enterprise Service Bus of a Service Oriented Architecture by efficiently increasing the flexibility of connecting unlike systems into a unified, homogeneous architecture. The key feature of the WMB product is the ability to abstract the business logic away from transport or protocol specifics.
The WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit enables developers to graphically design mediations, known as message flows, and related artifacts. Once developed, these resources can be packaged into a broker archive (BAR) file and deployed into the runtime environment. At this point, the broker is able to continually process messages according to the logic described by the message flow. A wide variety of data formats are supported, and may be modeled using standard XML Schema and DFDL schema. After modeling, a developer can create transformations between various formats using nodes supplied in the Toolkit, such as Mapping node, Compute nodes, or database nodes.
