Modeling a governance process of optimizing a portfolio of services in a governed SOA and generating, in dependence upon the modeled governance process, one or more automation modules, each automation module including a module of computer program instructions that supports performance of one or more steps of the modeled governance process, where the modeled governance process includes determining whether a collection of service artifacts matches one or more service artifacts stored in a service registry; if no service artifacts stored in the service registry match the collection of service artifacts, initiating creation of a service in accordance with the collection of service artifacts; if one or more service artifacts stored in the service registry match the collection of service artifacts: selecting, in dependence upon predefined action selection criteria, a service administration action to perform; obtaining approval of the selected service administration action; and initiating the selected service administration action.

Automating a governance process of optimizing a portfolio of services in a governed SOA

Modeling a governance process of establishing a subscription to a deployed service in a governed Service Oriented Architecture ('SOA') and generating, in dependence upon the modeled governance process, one or more automation modules, each automation module comprising a module of computer program instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, supports performance of one or more steps of the modeled governance process, where the modeled governance process includes collecting available service artifacts associated with a deployed service; determining whether the deployed service meets predefined functional requirements; if the deployed service meets the predefined functional requirements, determining whether the deployed service meets predefined non-functional requirements if the deployed service meets the predefined non-functional requirements, creating a subscription request; requesting approval of the subscription request; and if approval is received, creating a subscription to the deployed service.

Modeling a governance process of establishing a subscription to a deployed service in a governed SOA

Modeling a governance process of creating a new version of a service in a governed SOA and generating, in dependence upon the modeled governance process, automation modules that include modules of computer program instructions that, when executed by a computer processor, support performance of one or more steps of the modeled governance process and where the modeled governance process includes reviewing requested updates to a deployed service; determining, in dependence upon the requested updates and a specification of a present version of the deployed service, whether a new version of the deployed service is required; if a new version of the deployed service is required, determining whether the present version of the deployed service will be subsumed by the new version; and if the present version of the deployed service will be subsumed by the new version, retiring the present version of the deployed service.
