Challenge Overview
Blue Harmony is IBM's major transformation program which is meant to simplify the design and operation of three Globally Integrated Support Processes - Finance, Opportunity to Order, and Order to Cash. A key component of this initiative is the Blue Harmony corporate ESB, which is the primary integration between the SAP systems and IBMs existing portfolio applications. Over time, there will be over two thousand applications integrated with Blue Harmony.
One component of the corporate ESB is the Administration Reporting Management System (ARMS) tool. This is a GUI application that is used for event logging, message reprocessing, error correction and reporting. The primary users of the ARMS tool span all different responsibilities: system administrators, testers, business process leads and developers.
This is the first concrete step taken to put the system together. This step will set up the environment along with deploying a service component. This will demonstrate that the application fits together. It will be then used to build the application on top of it.
