Duration: 5 Days
This 5-day instructor-led course teaches you how to build and deploy process integration solutions using IBM WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Integration Developer, and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.
WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus support a service-oriented architecture (SOA) by providing the ideal platform for integrating business applications using diverse technologies. WebSphere Process Server is a high-performance business process engine that orchestrates services within an SOA, and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus enables applications and services to interact with each other using standards-based connectivity.
Through instructor-led presentations and hands-on lab exercises, you will learn the concepts, architecture, components, processes, and procedures necessary to develop and implement an integrated business solution using a diverse set of WebSphere and IBM products. This course teaches you how WebSphere Adapters supply connectivity to back-end enterprise information systems (EIS) and how WebSphere Process Server enables business integration applications to define business logic and processes based on Web Services - Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL), human tasks, business rules, and business state machines. You will also learn how WebSphere Process Server uses the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) to centralize the runtime monitoring of various events that occur in business integration solutions and applications. In addition, you will learn how WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus provides mediation services for integration applications.
In the intensive hands-on lab exercises, you will design, develop, and test a comprehensive business integration solution that integrates business processes between disparate applications. You will use the WebSphere Integration Developer tool set to create business integration solutions using the Service Component Architecture (SCA) programming model, the Service Data Object (SDO) data model, and the mediation flow programming model. You will deploy the integration application to WebSphere Process Server and learn how to test and debug the application.
What You Will Learn
- Describe the purpose and business value of WebSphere Integration Developer, WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, and the service-oriented architecture approach to integration
- Use WebSphere Integration Developer to create business objects, shared interfaces, and business calendars
- Complete business processes using the WebSphere Integration Developer Business Process Choreography tooling
- Use SCA bindings to communicate with a Web service
- Use WebSphere J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) Adapters to integrate enterprise applications
- Implement interface maps to mediate component interfaces and create business object maps to transform business data
- Implement mediation modules
- Implement a business rule group and edit business rule parameters at run time
- Implement human tasks in a business process
- Create and run a component test project and use the WebSphere Integration Developer debugger to step through breakpoints in an application
- Collect Common Event Infrastructure events and view them using the Common Base Event browser
