WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V7.0 Administration

This course is also available as self-paced virtual (e-learning) course WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V7.0 Administration. This option does not require any travel.

This course teaches you the skills and concepts needed to administer IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus V7.0.

As a key IBM enterprise service bus product, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus provides a standards-based integration solution that enables users to create and deploy interactions quickly and easily between applications and services.

This course has an administrative focus, and it begins by introducing you to the concept of the enterprise service bus (ESB) as an architectural pattern, as well as positioning the role of an ESB within a service-oriented architecture (SOA). You learn about IBM’s product support for the ESB pattern through a detailed discussion of the technical specifications for the WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus product.

You also learn how mediations are the central component in WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus through lectures that cover how mediations are implemented within the product. In addition, this course covers other administrative aspects of working with WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, such as configuring security and monitoring resources.

In the hands-on lab exercises, you learn how to install WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus as well as how to deploy, configure, and monitor mediations with tools such as the administrative console and the command line. Throughout the labs, you gain a basic understanding of mediation development by using WebSphere Integration Developer to explore and configure previously configured mediations. Additional labs enable you to configure security and use Business Space pages and widgets to monitor mediations that are deployed to WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.

Profil uczestnika

This advanced course is for experienced z/OS system programmers responsible for the installation and customization of WAS V8, along with Information Technology (IT) professionals responsible for the deployment of EJB and web applications into WAS V8 on z/OS.

Teams of two or three individuals from an enterprise are recommended to attend. Teams should include the z/OS system programmer responsible for the installation of WAS V8, an application assembler responsible for deploying EJB and web applications, and possibly a WAS specialist. The range of skills needed for deploying WebSphere eBusiness applications is such that it is rare for one IT professional to have expertise in all areas of WebSphere.
