Inter-domain replication of service information

摘要

An automated conversion of service information between independent information technology (IT) management domains is performed using a federated gateway within each of the independent IT management domains that bridges the independent IT management domains. The automated conversion of service information allows at least one service consumer application executing within a first independent IT management domain to use a local service definition format to access at least one remote service provider application with a remote service interface defined using a different remote service definition format for execution in a second independent IT management domain. At least one service request is dynamically processed for the at least one remote service provider application via service provider application endpoint translation using the federated gateway within each of the independent IT management domains that bridges the independent IT management domains.

1. A system, comprising:
a federated gateway comprising at least a federated enterprise service bus (ESB) comprising a local ESB operable within a first independent information technology (IT) management domain to interconnect with a remote ESB operable within a second independent IT management domain; a local governance service registry; a local runtime service registry; and a processor programmed to:
perform an automated conversion of service information between independent IT management domains using the federated gateway within each of the independent IT management domains that bridges the independent IT management domains, where the automated conversion of service information allows at least one service consumer application executing within the first independent IT management domain to use a local service definition format to access at least one remote service provider application with a remote service interface defined using a different remote service definition format for execution in the second independent IT management domain; anddynamically process at least one service request for the remote service provider application via service provider application endpoint translation using the federated gateway within each of the independent IT management domains that bridges the independent IT management domains;where in being programmed to perform the automated conversion of service information between independent IT management domains using the federated gateway within each of the independent IT management domains that bridges the independent IT management domains, the processor is programmed to:
identify, via the local governance service registry within the first independent IT management domain, a definition of the at least one remote service provider application within a remote governance service registry within the second independent IT management domain, where the local governance service registry and the remote governance service registry form a federated service registry gateway as part of the federated gateway within each of the independent IT management domains that bridges service registration between the independent IT management domains;convert the remote service interface to a local service interface defined with the local service definition format; andregister the local service interface that represents the converted remote service interface within the local runtime service registry accessible by the at least one service consumer application executing within the first independent IT management domain; andwhere, in being programmed to convert the remote service interface to the local service interface defined with the local service definition format, the processor is programmed to:
replace an endpoint address of the at least one remote service provider application within the second independent IT management domain with an endpoint address of the remote governance service registry of the federated gateway; andre-write a remote service interface definition to convert from a remote protocol to a local protocol used by the local service interface.
