Use Case Exercises One and Two

• Build 2 Use Cases using the Construction Phase (Detail Design and Build)
  • Use Case 1: The Client would like to manage their attributes in MDMPIM Server because of inconsistent data.
  • Use Case 2: The client would like to put limits on the value of the attributes in order to effectively control the normalization of the data.

Use Case Exercises Three, Four and Five

• Build 3 Use Cases using the Construction Phase (Detail Design and Build)
  • Use Case 3: The client would like to capture industry specific information for their items.
  • Use Case 4: The client would like to match a supplier provided hierarchy with their own.
  • Use Case 5: The client would like to formalize their process for creating a new item.

Use Case Exercises Six, Seven and Eight

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

http://clpext.moppssc.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=8

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.
