demonstrations
using “The Banking Application” that
with
two spaces

show how IBM middleware and configuration techniques can be used to solve
key technical challenges for SaaS developers.
Designing a multi-tenant data architecture requires a decision on the degree of
data isolation among tenants. A SaaS data architecture can range from isolated
tenant databases to shared databases and even shared database schema. This
demo focuses on a shared schema architecture and will show how the XML
capabilities of DB2 v9 simplify tenant data configuration in this type of
environment.

This picture represents the range of data tier architectural choices available in a
SaaS application. We will compare the three in terms of the cost to the tenant
and the ease of configuration for the tenant data. Data security is another very
important consideration, but will be covered in a future demo.
On the left we show an isolated environment called E1. Each tenant has their
own database. E1 offers the most flexibility in terms of configuration as the
tables are designed with custom columns to support the single tenant. It is also
the most expensive solution as a single tenant must bear the sole cost of the
hardware and maintenance.
In the middle we show a shared database with separate schemas called E2. E2
offers a lesser degree of data isolation than E1. E2 is also less costly than E1 as
this approach can typically accommodate more tenants per server than E1 so the
hardware and maintenance costs are split amonst the tenants. E2 offers the
same ease of configurability as E1 by using custom columns.
On the right we show a shared schema environment called E3. E3 has the
lowest hardware and maintenance costs. It allows you to serve the largest
number of tenants per database server. However, because multiple tenants
share the same database tables, this approach has typically been viewed as the
most difficult to configure, requiring the use of either name/value pair columns or
pre-allocated fields to satisfy unique tenant requirements. What we’ll be
illustrating in this demo is that by using the pureXML capabilities of DB2 v9, the

Information separated by vertical strokes,
This scenario will show
how
weside
shared the database schema across two tenant
on either
with two spaces
banks through the use of a bank id column and an xml column in each of the
database tables in the Banking Application.
In this scenario we have two banks hosted in a multi-tenant banking
environment, Bank1 and Bank2. Each bank has its own virtual portal that is
administered through the use of profiles which contain the service endpoints for
their bank as well as configuration information and branding.
Our focus is on the Customer Profile of both banks. Both banks will store their
customer profile data in the same db2 table using a bank id column and an XML
column. The XML contents of the two banks differ in that Bank 1 has an extra
element for cell phone. The capability to store the data and designate xml fields
as optional in the xsd allows us to use the same web service for updating that
data for both banks, further simplifying the tenant data configuration.
We begin by logging into the administrator portal of each bank to show that the
Customer management and Customer query web services for both banks point
to the same service endpoints.
Here is the profile for Bank 1.
Notice that the two services that manage the storing and accessing of the
customer profile data are set here under customer management and customer
query.
Here is the profile for the Bank 2.
You can see that the service endpoints for customer management and customer
query are set to the same values as the Bank 1.
This shows that the same web service is being used to update the customer
profile data for both banks.
We now access the customer profile portlet for Bank 1.
We select customer 001001.
Notice the profile elements that we store for Bank 1.
This profile includes a cell phone number in addition to the home phone number.
We’ll update this profile by changing the cell phone number to demonstrate the
use of the customer management web service.
Let’s access a customer profile record for the Bank 2.
We select customer 002001.
Notice the customer profile fields for this bank. There is only one phone number
in this profile, the home phone.
We update the home phone utilizing the same Customer management web
service that Bank 1 used.

minOccurs=0, maxOccurs=1. This specification designates this field as optional.
In our scenario Bank 1 elected to use that field, Bank 2 did not. Now let’s take a
look at the data as it is stored in db2.
We use the db2 command center to select the customer profile document for
customer 001001.
Notice that there is a phone number and a cell phone number within the XML
document, and they correspond to the values we updated in the Bank 1
Customer Profile portlet.
We execute the same query for customer 002001.
This XML document, which is stored in the same db2 column as the previous
example, does not have a cell phone number.

In conclusion, we Information
have
demonstrated
how the pureXML capabilities in DB2 v9
with
two spaces
on either side
provide the ability to customize data for different tenants using a single shared
XML column. This capability allows each bank tenant administrator to define
their own data object structures while storing that data in a shared table and
using common services to maintain that data.
