This is the Web-Based version of Classroom course IBM InfoSphere Metadata Workbench Essentials V8 (KM620), Instructor-Led Online course IBM InfoSphere Metadata Workbench Essentials V8 (ILO) (3M620) and Self-Paced Virtual course Metadata Workbench Essentials - SPVC (2I770).
Learn the uses and features of Metadata Workbench within the Information Server environment. This course looks at the Metadata Workbench from both an Administrator and User point of view.
From the User point of view, the course discusses how to explore and analyze metadata stored in the Information Server (IS) Repository, including DataStage jobs, databases, files, FastTrack mapping specifications, Business Glossary Terms and Stewards, as well as metadata that is imported into the Information Server Repository from external applications, including business intelligence reporting tools and data modeling software. Analyses include impact analysis and data lineage reports in both textual and graphical formats.
From the Administrator point of view, the course discusses how to import metadata into the IS Repository and to prepare it to be viewed and analyzed within Metadata Workbench. Administrative topics include running Automated Services, creating manual linkages, and creating mapping extensions to applications and data sources outside of IS, so that analyses can track the flow of data into and outside of IS.

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.
