About the Software
With this lightweight mashup environment, organizations can unlock and
transform enterprise, Web, personal and departmental information into
consumable or "mashable" assets, including information feeds and widgets.
These assets can then be dynamically assembled, at-the-glass, into new
applications that address daily business challenges. With IBM Mashup
Center, organizations can reduce their application backlog and improve
productivity by empowering line of business, self-service application
development.
Core capabilities include:
Unlock information sources - create easily consumable feeds from a
variety of information sources inside and outside your enterprise.
Rapid assembly of mashups - end users assemble new mashups by
dragging and dropping widgets onto the page and wiring them together.
Discover and share assets - publish mashups and widgets in a
catalogue where others can discover and reuse them.
Transform information - mix information feeds together to create net
new feeds called data mashups.
Create dynamic widgets - includes a powerful widget creation
environment that enables developers of all skill levels to rapidly
generate widgets without coding.
The AMI is available on 32-bit 2.6.16 kernel
level-based Linux OS and provides an end-to-end automation to get the AMI
initially set up according to user’s requirements including:
- Root and default user password setup
- Optional (recommended) Elastic Block Storage (EBS) setup for
persistent data storage
When an IBM Mashup Center instance is started for the very
first time, a sequence of interactive configuration screens will help the
user setup their environment in a few quick steps:
- Pre-installed OS/software license agreements screen
- Root and virtuser user password configuration screens
- IBM Mashup Center localization progress screens
- Amazon Web Services configuration screens
- EBS storage configuration screens
A description of each interactive step and additional information about how
to re-package the IBM Mashup Center AMI with an ISV
(Independent Software Vendor) application can be found in the accompanying
documentation.
Instances created based on this AMI are configured for root-level access
over secure shell (SSH) using the keypair you specify at instance
creation.
IBM Mashup Center is installed under /opt/IBMMashupCenter
Once started, IBM Mashup Center can be accessed over the Web using the URL:
http://<server>:9080/mum/enabler
Where <server> refers to the public DNS name of the new
instance. Use the virtuser user ID to log into WebSphere Portal,
using the password set during the initialization process. Note this also
requires that the local HTTP Server be started. Refer to the Getting
Started document under Resources and Documentation for details.
