Messaging Middleware Management Studies

With the development of personal computers and network coniniunication techniques, distributed computing become the mainstream of computing technologies. In order to make users share the information and computing resource distributed in network, system integrated middleware becomes one of the key technologies to implement distributed computing. Nowadays, system integrated middleware could provide excellent development platform and communication support, but most of them lack good management facilities of distributed application. But whether an application system is of good quality not only depends on the development of the system but also depends on management of the system. So enhancing management functions of middleware becomes to be a key problem in distributed computing.The trend of middleware is to be diverse and complex. As a result, tools which manage middleware become more diverse. In this article We analyze the existing monitoring and managing tools on middleware.Basing on this research, We present a multi-layer system manage model framework. In this framework, We monitor and manage middleware from three layers,wbich are application layer.. middleware layer and mn-time layer.Middleware application manager is designed basing on the multi-layer system manage framework.This manager is used to manage the middleware and the application on middleware. In this article, We first describe the architecture of this manager. Then We describe the scheme to solve the key problems in manager, such as deployment management, performance management and load balancing, etc.Addressing on the ISMQ middleware, We design and implement its manager. In this manager, We adopt SNMP protocol as the communicating protocol and management information base as the database. To be more convenient to use this manager, We also design and implement visual management tool.
