NOTE: THIS IS AN ON-LINE SELF-PACED VIRTUAL COURSE. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS COURSE.
Self-Paced Virtual courses provide the same deep technical content as our classroom courses, but allow you to learn on your own schedule. You can stop and start a Self-Paced Virtual class as needed during the 60-day access period.
There is no live instructor for this course, so it may not be appropriate for students who require the guidance of a live instructor. In such cases, students should consider the alternative versions of this course:
- Classroom delivery: IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 Using XML (WE214)
- Instructor-led online delivery: IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender V8.2 Using XML (Remote Classroom) (VE214)
This 2-day instructor-led course teaches students how to use the WebSphere Transformation Extender Design Studio to define and transform complex business objects into any format using Extensible Markup Language (XML) data.
Through instructor-led lectures and hands-on lab exercises, students learn how WebSphere Transformation Extender transforms data through the use of XML schemas, type trees, and mapping. Topics covered include using XML document type definition (DTD) and XML schema importers to generate type trees, using the Map Designer to map XML data, and using native XML schemas instead of type trees in a map. In this course, emphasis is placed on mapping project implementation using the Transformation Extender Design Studio to validate and map XML data.
The hands-on exercises reinforce the lectures, and provide students with practical experience working with skills such as mapping data, using XML schemas, problem determination, and using the WebSphere Transformation Extender utilities for XML.
