The basic requirement of any Governance system is the ability to effectively enforce policies at different control points along the lifecycle.
WebLayers Governors are a set of non-invasive enforcement agents that transparently examine content and enforce compliance. WebLayers Governors are deployed across all layers of the infrastructure including development tools, registries, repositories, development processes, and applications to support the entire lifecycle of SOA Governance.
Automatic Deployment
WebLayers defines and automatically deploys policies for all SOA entities.
- Define Once Enforce Anywhere - Policies are dynamically associated with all the applicable systems across the enterprise.
- Define Once Apply where Needed - Policies that are relevant in one project may be irrelevant in another. You decide when to apply a single policy or an entire policy library.
- Optimized Operation - For performance reasons the system has to know how to optimize policy conformance analysis.
- Configurable Response Scenarios - Governors allow for restrictive or permissive compliance response and can stop an event at the control point or allow its execution with the appropriate compliance flags.
Broad Content Governance
Policies are enforced at the content level to ensure all major artifact and document types are in compliance.
- XML and Web Services - including XML, Schema, WSDL, SOAP, WS-P, etc
- Source Development Languages - including Java, C#, .NET, etc.
- Web Interface - including HTML
- Common office documents - including Word, Excel, PDF, Visio, etc.
- Architecture and Configuration - including UML, Hibernate, Logging, etc
Extensive System Coverage
WebLayers Governors enforce compliance across all systems at each stage of the lifecycle.
- IDEs - including WebSphere Studio and other Eclipse based IDEs
- Source Code Control - including ClearCase, CVS, etc.
- Registries/Repositories - including WebSphere, AquaLogic, Oracle, Systinet, etc.
- Messaging Systems - including AquaLogic ESB, Oracle ESB, WebSphere ESB, etc.
- Application Servers - including WebSphere, WebLogic, Oracle Fusion, JBOSS, etc.
- Databases - including Oracle, DB2, etc.
