Kursbeskrivning: Administration of InfoSphere Streams V2 (Web)

This is the Web-based version of Classroom Course Administration of InfoSphere Streams V2 (DW730SE), Instructor-led Online Course Administration of InfoSphere Streams V2 (ILO) (3W730SE) and Self-paced Virtual Course Administration of InfoSphere Streams V2 (2W730SE).

This is a self-paced online course. The average amount of time to complete this course is 8 hours. Once you receive your access information, you will have 1 year to complete this course.

Please do not make travel arrangements for this course. After you receive confirmation that you are enrolled, you will be sent further instructions to access the course.

This course enables the students to acquire the skills necessary to administer an InfoSphere Streams system. The course covers creating Streams instances, creating a Streams recovery database, viewing the state of Streams instance services, moving an application service to another host, stopping and starting processing elements, view the jobs and processing elements that are running. In addition it covers defining host tags, adding a host to a Streams instance, setting the access control list for instance objects to give permission to users to work with those objects, and submitting and cancelling Streams job.

There are five exercises that reenforces the presentation material. Each student will work with two host systems so that the student can get a better idea of administering a multi-host Streams environment.

The self-paced format gives you the opportunity to complete the course at your convenience, at any location, and at your own pace. The course is available 24 hours a day. Once you have accessed the course, instructor help is available via the course forum Monday through Friday; questions will be responded to within 24 hours.

HW/SW CONFIGURATION

The minimum hardware and software required to launch the course are:

• Reliable HIGH-SPEED INTERNET connection (min 200 kbps up and down)
• Windows 2000 or XP or Vista
• Computer with soundcard
• Headset or computer speakers
• Internet Explorer 5.01 or later, or Firefox 1.0 or later

Network Speed Test

User: clp

Pass: ibmeduc

For example, a speed test against the server with a slow connection of 140 Kbps download and 28 Kbps upload took 14 minutes to load a 30min recording before the video began. Extrapolate from this result to estimate approximately how fast your network internet access would be.

High-speed broadband internet access is the recommended configuration for this course.

Keyboard Configuration

If you use a different character keyboard, you may experience errors when entering passwords. If possible, change your language/country settings for your keyboard to USA, which allows you to enter characters as in a QWERTY keyboard.
