MQS1183: WebSphere Application Server Default Messaging and Enterprise Service Bus

Overview:

This is MQSoftware’s 5-day training course covering system administration of the Default Messaging Provider of WebSphere Application Server (version 6) and administration and development for WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (WESB). This course provides students with the skills necessary to thoroughly understand the administration of Service Integration Buses, Messaging Engines, Queues, Topic Spaces and Topics on WebSphere Application Server (version 6). It covers the administration of JMS resources necessary to integrate these objects with Java application programs using JMS. The course also covers the configuration of intercommunication links between WebSphere MQ networks and WebSphere Application Server networks.

Applications developed within a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) expose only their data structures and protocols to the outside world. In order for two such services to communicate, they must agree on these two items. Where such agreement is not possible, it is necessary to develop a Mediation Service to communicate with the services on both ends. WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus (WESB) provides a development and hosting framework for these Mediation Services. This course provides students with the critical skills necessary to understand and effectively use IBM’s WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, including the design of applications, the development of mediation flows using WebSphere Integration Developer (WID), the deployment of mediation modules, and the monitoring of mediations using IBM’s Common Event Infrastructure (CEI).

(Note: This is not a course on programming Java mediations for deployment in WebSphere Application Server’s default messaging bus. Students interested in learning about WebSphere Application Server mediations are advised to take MQSoftware’s MQS1184 course.) The course uses extensive hands-on exercises to reinforce the tutorial information, thus allowing the student to fully explore and gain real-world experience with Message Oriented Middleware using the Default Messaging Provider of WebSphere Application Server and the WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.

Who Should Take This Course:

J2EE Architects, Enterprise Integration Architects, and System Administrators responsible for the development, implementation or integration of messaging applications or web services, using a Mediations Service framework, and the Default Messaging Provider of WebSphere Application Server, or the Default Messaging Provider together with WebSphere MQ messaging networks.
