BEA AquaLogic Interaction Administration 6.5

Description:

This course provides technical team members with the basic knowledge required to implement and administer AquaLogic Interaction. Students learn how AquaLogic Interaction components communicate and about their interdependencies. Students use their own portal installation for hands on labs. They learn how to integrate other systems; they import LDAP users and groups, configure existing web services and configure and run content crawlers. The course provides in-depth coverage of the security system (Active Control Lists, Activity Rights, Groups, and Roles). The course also covers administrative maintenance tasks related to content, search and daily housekeeping. Finally, students learn how to personalize applications and the User Interface for end users through the implementation of features like communities, experiences and Adaptive Layouts. By the end of the course, all students have a solid foundation for implementing AquaLogic Interaction and a good understanding of what tasks can be performed by whom over the life cycle of the implementation: administrators, programmers and business users (such as community managers or content managers). Students may run an optional installation lab on the last day.
