Course description: Building WebSphere ESB V7 Solutions (Self-paced)

NOTE: THIS IS AN ONLINE 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 you to require the guidance of a live instructor.

WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a powerful solution for mediating service requests. Based on Service Component Architecture, it provides a set of pre-built and custom mediation capabilities to perform tasks such as routing, transformation, logging, and lookup. This 4-day online workshop provides extensive hands-on lab exercises of all of these features

This workshop uses the latest (V7) releases of WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus and WebSphere Integration Developer tools. It also integrates WebSphere ESB with WebSphere Service Registry and Repository and WebSphere MQ.

Students will explore and build ESB solutions for deployment to WebSphere ESB. They will use WebSphere Integration Developer to perform the typical tasks of an integration developer including modeling, testing, configuring, and deploying ESB-based applications. They will then deploy and administer these applications to WebSphere ESB.
