Developing Applications for IBM WebSphere Process Server V7 - I

Course Description

PLEASE NOTE: This course is also available as an Instructor Led Online Course, Developing Applications for IBM WebSphere Process Server V7 - I (Remote Class) (VB711) and also as a Self Paced Virtual Course (E-Learning), Developing Applications for IBM WebSphere Process Server V7 - I (Self-Paced) (ZB711)

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 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, students 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. The course teaches students 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, and business rules. Students 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, 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 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. Students then deploy the integration application to WebSphere Process Server and learn how to test and debug the application.

This course is a prerequisite for other courses in the WebSphere Business Process Management curriculum, including Developing Applications for IBM WebSphere Process Server V7 - II (WB712) and (VB712).
