Kurs informasjon: Capturing and Authoring Business Rules with IBM WebSphere ILOG JRules V7.0

This 5-day instructor-led course introduces business analysts to IBM WebSphere ILOG JRules Business Rule Management System (BRMS), and teaches the concepts and skills necessary to capture, author, and manage business rules using IBM WebSphere ILOG JRules V7.0.

Through instructor-led presentations, product demonstrations, and hands-on lab exercises, students learn the core features of IBM WebSphere ILOG JRules V7.0, and how to work collaboratively with business policy experts and development teams.

A realistic case study is used throughout the course to illustrate the concepts of business modeling, rule discovery, and rule authoring. Students work with actual business models, use cases, and business rules to perform discovery and analysis tasks, and to experience some of the questions and issues that arise when striving to author rules that reflect complex business decisions. Practical rule authoring exercises are carried out in the JRules Rule Studio and Rule Team Server modules.

Students learn to use JRules features to simplify maintenance of rules, share rules between multiple users, and synchronize work across business and development environments. They also learn how to identify governance issues and use JRules features to support rule governance.

After completing this course, students should be able to successfully work with business rules using IBM WebSphere ILOG JRules BRMS.
