Administration of IBM Business Process Manager Advanced V8

Course details

This course is also available as instructor-led online course, Administration of IBM Business Process Manager Advanced V8 (Remote Classroom) (VB862GB). Please note that this option does not require any travel.

In this five-day instructor-led introductory course, you learn the skills that are needed to install, configure, and administer IBM Business Process Manager Advanced V8.

IBM Business Process Manager Advanced V8 includes IBM Process Server, IBM Integration Designer, IBM Process Designer, IBM Process Center, and WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus. This course focuses on IBM Process Server, which is a high-performance business engine at the heart of business process management (BPM) and service-oriented architecture (SOA).

The course covers how to configure IBM Process Server in a network deployment environment. You learn about the various deployment topologies available for IBM Process Server, and the deployment options for various IBM Process Server components. The course also teaches you about the selection criteria for choosing an appropriate deployment topology

You learn how IBM Process Server uses the service integration bus (WebSphere Platform Messaging) for all asynchronous communications. To build a highly available IBM Process Server architecture, you must understand how the service integration bus works, and know how to integrate it into the design of a topology. Finally, you learn about the service integration bus and how to configure it to support high availability and workload management.

Hands-on exercises on the Linux operating system are provided throughout the course, giving you practical experience on how to design, deploy, and troubleshoot a highly available IBM Process Server environment. Through the labs, you configure IBM Process Server in a clustered environment and verify their configuration. You also deploy a basic IBM Process Server application and use it to test the capabilities of the IBM Process Server environment. You examine applications in IBM Process Center and deploy applications to both an online and an offline IBM Process Server. Finally, you integrate the deployment manager with IBM Tivoli Directory Server and secure the environment. This course provides lab exercises running on IBM Business Process Manager Advanced V8.0.1.
