Kurs informasjon: Overview of (IISD) InfoSphere Information Services Director - Web Based Training

Before you enter a Guided Tour Product Simulation, we will first discuss how an SOA works. Then we'll provide an introduction to the InfoShpere Information Services Director (IISD) product formerly known as WebSphere Information Services Director and sometimes pronounced "Wizdee". We'll also discuss how IISD fits into the overall Information Services (IS) platform. We'll talk about IISD's components.

In the interactive Guided Tour product demonstration, you will configure the IISD interface to connect with a DataStage server or with a Federation Server. Then you'll look at a job that has been built for you, for purposes of this tutorial. You'll enable the job for conversion to a service. Then you'll 'wrap' the job into a service, publish the service, and finally, see how others would invoke your service.

This will be done in the context of some business cases. You will then see how, after having made your DataStage job into a service, it can be made available to any application in your enterprise that is 'service enabled' (as many or most may already be). Via the Internet, you may also make it available to applications of your enterprise's suppliers or customers.

Finally, we'll discuss DataStage job topologies and a few other key topics.

Note: This is a self-paced online course in which the Guided Tour Product Simulation requires no installations: Everything is through your IE 5.0+  browser. Please DO NOT make travel arrangements for this course.  After you receive confirmation that you are registered, just follow the instructions to access the course.

This browser-based product simulation let's you "learn-by-doing" in a case-study scenario in which you will use the product to turn an process into a Web Service - no installations needed just a browser and a passion to learn.

By the end of this training you'll have a better understanding of Information Services Director, how it works, and a better understanding of how it can be implemented.
