Please note this option does not require any travel.

This 5-day instructor-led course provides an intermediate-level overview of the WebSphere Message Broker product, with a focus on using WebSphere Message Broker to develop, deploy, and support platform-independent message flow applications. These applications use both point-to-point and publish-and-subscribe messaging topologies to transport messages between service requestors and service providers, and they also allow the messages to be routed, transformed, and enriched as required.

The course begins with an overview of service-oriented architecture (SOA), including why messaging is central to SOA and how WebSphere Message Broker fits into the IBM SOA strategy. Next, students learn about the components of the WebSphere Message Broker development and runtime environments before examining message flow problem determination and conducting error analysis. Students then explore how to construct message flows that use ESQL, Java, and XSL transform (XSLT), and how to use databases and maps in message flows. They also learn how to implement application connectivity by using WebSphere Message Broker to create message flows that use Web services, Java messaging services (JMS), and WebSphere MQ message transport mechanisms.

In addition, students learn to write more efficient message flows by applying the concepts of message parsing, serialization, and message modeling. Finally, students explore advanced topics such as how to extend the functionality of WebSphere Message Broker by using adapters and other WebSphere products.

Throughout the course, extensive hands-on lab exercises reinforce student learning with practical experience using the skills and concepts that are discussed in the lectures. The topics covered in the hands-on labs include creating and testing message flows, message modeling, retrieving and viewing statistical information, problem determination, and error handling.
