IBM Integration Bus V9.0 System Administration

Course details

In this course, you learn how to administer IBM Integration Bus on distributed operating systems, such as Windows and AIX, by using the IBM Integration Bus administrative interfaces. These interfaces include IBM Integration Explorer, the IBM Integration web console, and the IBM Integration Bus command interface.

Audience

This intermediate course is designed for product administrators and developers who administer IBM Integration Bus.

Prerequisites

You should successfully complete one of the IBM WebSphere MQ V7.5 system administration courses:

• IBM WebSphere MQ V7.5 System Administration (using Windows for labs) (WM204) or (ZM204)
• IBM WebSphere MQ V7.5 System Administration (using Linux for labs) (WM206)

You should also have hands-on experience with the Windows operating system. Experience with IBM Integration Bus message flow development is helpful but not required.
