Course description: Processing Attachments for IBM DataPower V4.0.1 (with lab exercise)

NOTE: THIS IS A SELF-PACED COURSE WITH A FIXED START AND END DATE.

You will be given access to the course material, and to a DataPower appliance in order to perform the labs, for a period of 4 days from the designated start date. At the end of the class period, your access will be removed. No extensions to the access period are possible.

This self-paced course does not involve a live instructor.

Please note that your enrollment will be confirmed shortly after you enroll, but you will not be sent the details on how to access the course and the lab environment until approximately 3 days before the designated class start date.

Self-paced virtual classroom (SPVC) courses provide the same deep technical content as WebSphere Education 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 4-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.

Course overview:

This self-paced virtual classroom course combines a streaming lecture with a hands-on lab exercise to investigate how IBM DataPower appliances support the use of attachments in messages that it transfers.

The course lecture begins with a description of the common ways that attachments are used in SOAP messages: SOAP with Attachments (SwA) and Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM). It explains how DataPower supports messages with attachments from various configuration settings to service policy actions. The lecture then reviews actions that can manipulate attachments, and describes the attachment-related configuration options in the service policy and in the service itself. Next, the lecture describes the configuration of the MTOM Policy object to enable encoding and decoding of MTOM-formatted messages. It lists DataPower extension functions, elements, and variables that relate to attachments. The course concludes with a hands-on lab exercise that enables a student to configure attachment support for SwA or MTOM messages.
