WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile V9 Bootcamp
WA159L
In addition to the classic application server (also called Full Profile Server), IBM has introduced the Liberty Profile Server.
This 3-day boot camp combines the introductory course WA85L and the advanced administration course WA190G in one boot camp. The first day concentrates on all questions around architecture, installation, configuration and operation, admin center or the command line. On the basis of practical examples in your own practice environment, you will develop the basics of the infrastructure and learn, among other things: Configuration of security, LDAP, JMS. You cluster the Liberty Profile, configure the system via the Admin Center and via the command line, write scripts for maintenance and identify error sources and their possible avoidance.
On the following two days you will deepen your knowledge and get to know the configuration and administration of this server in more detail.
You will learn how to use Liberty's Dynamic Routing feature to enable the forwarding of HTTP requests. You configure also the automatic scaling and integrity functions for Liberty. Finally, you will learn how to secure Liberty and how to use SSL communication to in Liberty.
Target audience
This course is interesting for administrators, developers, architects, and testers who are familiar with the WebSphere Application Server V8.5.5 Liberty Profile.
Decision makers benefit from the duration of the compact course and can better evaluate the range of functions.

Developing Applications in IBM Business Process Manager Advanced V8.5.7 - I
WB860G
This course teaches you how to use the tools in IBM Business Process Manager Advanced V8.5.7 to build and deploy process integration solutions.
IBM Process Server supports a service-oriented architecture (SOA) by providing a platform for using diverse technologies to integrate business applications. In this course, you learn how IBM Process Server enables business integration applications to define business logic and processes based on Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL), and business rules. In the intensive hands-on lab exercises, you design, develop, and test a comprehensive business integration solution. You use the IBM Integration Designer tool to create business integration solutions by using the Service Component Architecture (SCA) programming model, the Service Data Objects (SDO) data model, and the mediation flow programming model.
The lab environment for this course uses the Windows Server 2012 R2 64-bit platform.
