Classroom Course
Course Title: IBM Integration Bus V10 Application Development II
Course Duration: 4 Days
Course Number: WM676G
Course Abstract:
This course is also available as self-paced virtual (e-learning) course IBM Integration Bus V10 Application Development II (ZM676G). This option does not require any travel.
This course provides an intermediate-level continuation of the topics necessary to successfully create IBM Integration Bus message flow applications and integration services.
This course focuses on using IBM Integration Bus to develop, deploy, and support platform-independent message flow applications and integration services. These applications and integration services use various messaging topologies to transport data between service requesters and service providers, and also allow the data to be routed, transformed, and enriched during processing.
Topics in this course include creating integration services and message flow applications that use and provide web services. You also learn how to use event driven processing nodes and how to use the record and replay facility to capture and view data during processing. You also learn how IBM Integration Bus interacts with other IBM and enterprise information products. Lab exercises throughout the course give you an opportunity to practice your new skills.
Course Title: IBM Integration Bus V10 Application Development I
Course Duration: 5 Days
Course Number: WM666G
Course Abstract:
This course is also available as self-paced virtual (e-learning) course IBM Integration Bus V10 Application Development I (ZM666G). This option does not require any travel.
IBM Integration Bus provides connectivity and universal data transformation in heterogeneous IT environments. It enables businesses of any size to eliminate point-to-point connections and batch processing, regardless of operating system, protocol, and data format.
This course teaches you how to use IBM Integration Bus to develop, deploy, and support message flow applications. These applications use various messaging topologies to transport messages between service requesters and service providers, and also allow the messages to be routed, transformed, and enriched during processing.
In this course, you learn how to construct applications to transport and transform data. The course also explores how to control the flow of data by using various processing nodes, and how to use databases and maps to transform and enrich data during processing. You also learn how to construct data models by using the Data Format Description Language (DFDL).
