1. Web Services Management
OASIS Face To Face
9/18/02

2. Team Goal D-AG007 Management and Provisioning
The standard reference architecture for Web Services must provide for a manageable and accountable environment for Web Services operations..
Critical success factors and requirements for this goal:
D-AC018 The Web Services Architecture must enable the management and provisioning of Web Services

3. Requirements
AC018.1 Ensure that implementations of the Web Services Architecture are manageable.
AR Define a base set of standard metrics for architectural components and their interactions accompanied by guidelines for measurement.
AR Define a base set of standard management operations for Web Services Architecture implementations. Management operations includes, but is not limited to, support for configuration control and lifecycle control.
AR Define a base set of management events to be issued by the Web Services Architecture implementation.
AR Define a standard methodology for accessing management capabilities from the Web Services Architecture implementation.

4. Requirements
AC018.2 Ensure that implementations of the Web Service instances are manageable.
AR Define how a web service should expose web service specific metrics, configuration, operations, and events.
AR Support the discovery of web service management capabilities.
AR Define a standard methodology for accessing management capabilities of a Web Service through the Web Services Architecture implementation.

5. Requirements
Ensure that at least the following types of management aspects are supported:
Resource Accounting,
Usage Auditing and Tracking,
Performance Monitoring,
Availability,
Configuration,
Control,
Security Auditing and Administration
Service Level Agreements

6. Management Task Force
Goal: Draft architecture to satisfy management requirements
TimeLine: 6-8 weeks
Deliverables:
Basic Management Data
Access to Management Data
List of Outstanding To Dos and Timelines
Approach to coordinate with other Standards Bodies (OASIS MP TC and DMTF)

7. Management Task Force ‘Extreme standards’ Lead: Heather Kreger, IBM
Primary Participants:
Computer Associates - Igor Sedukhin
Hewlett Packard - Zulah Eckert, Yin-Leng Husband
Thomson - Hao He
Secondary Participants:
SAP - Colleen Evans
Web Methods - Prasad Yendluri
Cisco – Sandeep Kumar
All communication on public mailing list: under [MTF]

8. W3C Web Services Architecture Working Group’s role
Provide a Web Services Architecture
To provide context
To provide guidance
To promote consistent deliverables
To promote interoperability/cooperation
To define the basic management aspects of the architecture

9. Manageable Components
Web Service Execution Environment
For the Execution Environment
For its contained Services
Web Service
Registry – centralized and distributed
UDDI (push model)
WSIL (support crawling registries)
Other registries

10. MTF Needs To Define For each component Model Agnostic
Data (Identity, Configuration)
Metrics
Operations
Events
Model Agnostic
probably an XML schema of the data
Probably portTypes and serviceTypes
Use to create appropriate representations: CIM, OMI, etc.

11. MTF Needs To Define Access to data
To Service Execution Environment
To a Service
To a Registry
We would like this will be the result of the OASIS MP TC
We would like to submit requirements and advise
