Description:

NOTE: THIS IS AN ONLINE SELF-PACED COURSE. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS COURSE.

This class teaches you how to build and deploy process integration solutions using IBM WebSphere Integration Developer and WebSphere Process Server. The class covers the concepts, architecture, components, processes, and procedures involved in implementing a business integration solution.

WebSphere Process Server, which supports a service-oriented architecture (SOA), is the ideal platform for business applications that require business integration using different technologies. Using the WebSphere Integration Developer tool set, business integration solutions can be created using simplified integration mechanisms such as the Service Component Architecture (SCA) programming model and the Service Data Objects (SDO) data model. SDO business objects can be defined, transformed, routed, and mediated using SCA components.

WebSphere adapters supply connectivity to back-end enterprise information systems (EIS). With WebSphere Process Server, business integration applications may define business logic and processes based on Web Services - Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL), human tasks, and business rules.

For runtime monitoring of the business integration solutions, WebSphere Process Server provides the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI), which centralizes the monitoring of the various events that can occur in these applications.

In this course, using the above technologies, you design, develop, and test the integration of business processes between disparate applications using IBM WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Integration Developer, and WebSphere adapters.
