Kurs informasjon: Troubleshooting IBM InfoSphere Information Analyzer - Web Based Training

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 solve a 'real-life' business problem - no installations needed just a browser and a passion to learn.

By the end of this training you'll have a better understanding of this InfoSphere product's terminology, an overview of its architecture, and a better understanding of how it can be implemented.

Before you enter the Guided Tour Product Simulation and troubleshoot a problem, this course will begin by talking about the Information Analyzer's architecture including its supporting databases, agent, and platform.

Then, we'll discuss some installation considerations and steps that should be performed after the installation.

Next, in a guided tour product simulation, you'll do the driving while we talk about how to configure Information Analyzer and Information Server and common troubleshooting techniques.

Finally, we'll take a look at some error messages and then talk about some standard or basic practices as well as tips and tricks to resolving potential issues.

Although this tutorial will address some particular environments' issues, it will tend to focus on problems that could occur across the board with Windows, UNIX, Linux, AIX, DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, various versions of Information Analyzer and Information Server, etc.
