Kursbeskrivning: Advanced Configuration and Integration of DataPower SOA Appliances V4.0

This 3-day instructor-led course teaches you how to create advanced and highly customized deployments of IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances with firmware version 4.0.1.

In this course, you learn how to perform advanced configuration of DataPower appliances, including how to use various security architectures to enforce access control, and how to use a service registry to govern services. The course also covers how to integrate the DataPower appliance with external systems, such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers, databases, and WebSphere Transformation Extender. You learn methods for implementing these features in a development environment, and you learn how to support source control management and environment migration. In addition, you learn about the available DataPower extension functions and how to take advantage of them using custom XSL transformations (XSLT).

In the hands-on lab exercises, you build your DataPower configuration skills by working directly with a DataPower appliance. The exercises cover skills such as communicating with FTP servers by using DataPower appliances, creating and consuming web services attachments, performing advanced troubleshooting, and automating DataPower migration tasks.

The lab environment for this course uses a VMware virtual machine image. You perform the exercise steps inside the image.
