IBM Conference Berlin
So, here I am in Berlin at an IBM Websphere Portal technical conference. I’ve absolutely zero experience and knowledge about IBM portal, but I’m learning fast now. My notes so far (yes, they are sketchy):
V04
systemic analysis of competition:
- M$, Oracle, SAP, jboss, liferay, exo, jetspeed
? mitigate business risk? trend?
Campaign management
(down) Admin->footprint, site analysis
Performance -> IBM throughput is the highest?
TCO rises for competition, IBM stays more or less equal
WSP can consume sharepoint func/data
(Oracle portal dies?)
WSP can consume SAP func/data
Liferay: departmental focus
OpenSource: IT dept. use it to extend their own ability
func is low, TCO is high, risk is high
B01
Permissions: locks: lock a part of the page
Attribute based admin: business rules for visibility
–> can also instantiate pages
WSP: exposes a lot of api methods as rest services
semantic tags
ajax proxy –> proxy ajax call to other sites through the portal
Situational applications (and the long tail)
possibility: move situational apps into the enterprise env. (not yet finished, next months)
virtual portals –> like desktops/teamsites
create through a wizard
edit thought customization GUI
accelerators: working example implementations
V01
Skipped
D13 – Mainsoft
Goal: give access to sharepoint through WSP, NOT give edit capabilities
–> meaning: sharepoint will still be the point for editing
challenges: functionality, content, security
solution 1: expose sharepoint lists in WSP
solution 2: SP SDK to build composite apps across .NET and Java
Security integration: credential vault, 1 user account, kerberos
Chose: direct link between office and sharepoint OR link through WSP
–> through WSP you lose the sharepoint integration
–> it becomes readonly (download)
Create java portlets from .Net –> use Visual Studio, compile (using the Mainsoft compiler) from .Net to Java –> delivers .war file
Web 2.0 mashup
share content and knowledge
spaces
find colleges
Find and contact experts
(Quickr = sharepoint)
Quickr is build on top of WSP
-> Lists, livetext, …
Lotus connections
-> social networks for business
profiles, communities, blogs, dogear (bookmarks), activities, homepage
Lotus Mashup
-> business/enterprise mashup
create mashups, list mashups in a directory (hub)
