Developing Applications for IBM Business Process Manager Advanced V7.5 - I

Course Description

PLEASE NOTE: This course is also available as an Instructor Led Online Course, Developing Applications for IBM Business Process Manager Advanced V7.5 - I (ILO) (VB751). and also as a Self Paced Virtual Course (E-Learning), Developing Applications for IBM Business Process Manager Advanced V7.5 - I (ZB751). Please note this option does not require any travel.

This 5-day instructor-led course teaches students how to build and deploy process integration solutions by using the tools in IBM Business Process Management Advanced V7.5, including IBM Process Server, IBM Integration Designer, IBM Process Designer, IBM Process Center, and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.

IBM 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. IBM Process Center provides a scalable central repository and control center for organizing and managing all process artifacts, applications, and services that are created. IBM Process Server is a high-performance business process engine that orchestrates services within an SOA, and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus enables interaction between applications and services by using standards-based connectivity.

Through instructor-led presentations and hands-on lab exercises, students learn the concepts, architecture, components, processes, and procedures required to develop and implement an integrated business solution using a diverse set of WebSphere and IBM products. The course teaches students how WebSphere adapters supply connectivity to back-end enterprise information systems (EIS), and how IBM Process Server enables business integration applications to define business logic and processes based on Web Services - Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL), human tasks, and business rules. Students also learn how IBM 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, this course covers how WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus provides mediation services for integration applications.

In the intensive hands-on lab exercises, students design, develop, and test a comprehensive business integration solution. Students use a standards-based process design tool - IBM Process Designer - as part of the authoring environment to rapidly compose a process design. The IBM Integration Designer tool is then used 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. Students then manage their processes in IBM Process Center and deploy the integration application to IBM Process Server. Students also learn how to test and debug the application.
