Managing your SOA

The Actional SOA 7.1 management product family provides policy-based visibility, security, and control for services, middleware, and business processes. Actional is an SOA and Web services management product family that offers a unified visibility within existing business process management (BPM) solutions, and beyond the edges of BPM processes into middleware and services. The product family also addresses critical requirements such as the management of processes, services, and policies. These are able to be managed in the context of one another to ensure complete governance.

Actional 7.1 includes an SDK that allows 3rd parties to add support for other BPM or SOA infrastructure products. Additional features include support for a non-XML payload data, allowing users to inspect and analyze message content in existing services such as Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and Enterprise JavaBean (EJB). This means customers can look at legacy services in the context of a business process.
