Description:

MM157 MetaMatrix Introduction gives the student an opportunity to gain a clear understanding and basic level of expertise in applying MetaMatrix's model-driven approach to creating and deploying data services and Metadata Management.

The Introductory class presents a complete overview of the entire MetaMatrix product suite and an opportunity for extensive hands-on use of the MetaMatrix Enterprise Designer. This is accomplished through a number of exercises geared towards the implementation of a complete data services, metadata management, integration framework. The class covers both basic & complex concepts as well as an introduction to an array of best practices.

Prerequisites

Experience with the following technologies is strongly recommended:

• SQL/RDBMS
• Java
• Metadata or Data Modeling

In addition, exposure to the following technologies will also be useful:

• UML
• Procedural Programming
• XQuery
• Web Services

Goal

A Red Hat MetaMatrix user who understands how to use and administer MetaMatrix tools.

Audience

Red Hat MetaMatrix users and potential Red Hat MetaMatrix users. Introductory training is recommended for:

• software architects engaged in SOA planning and/or implementation.
• software architects doing design work for systems integration, application development, and/or model implementation
• data modelers preparing for modeling design/implementation of a MetaMatrix solution
• architects or developers designing/implementing an integrated data security environment
• developers requiring integration support for implementation of a new applications.

Course objectives

This introduction presents a complete overview of the entire MetaMatrix product suite and an opportunity for extensive hands-on use of the MetaBase Modeler, Administrative Console, and Query Builder (a web-based query test tool). This is accomplished through a number of exercises geared towards the implementation of a complete metadata management & modeling framework the class covers basic as well as complex concepts, and introduces an array of best practices. Introductory training enables users to quickly "ramp-up" for the rapid deployment of the MetaMatrix solution.
