Advanced Configuration, Security, and Integration of DataPower SOA Appliances

Beschreibung

This 3-day instructor-led course teaches students how to create advanced and highly customized deployments of IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances with firmware version 3.8.

In this course, students learn how to perform advanced configuration of DataPower SOA Appliances, including how to enforce access control using various security architectures and govern services using a service registry. This course also covers how to integrate the DataPower appliance with external systems, such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers, databases, and WebSphere Transformation Extender. Students learn the recommended methodologies for implementing these features in a development environment, as well as supporting source control management and environment migration.  In addition, students learn about the available DataPower extension functions and how to take advantage of them using custom XSL Transformations (XSLT).

In the hands-on lab exercises, students build their DataPower configuration skills by working directly with an IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance. Skills covered in the exercises include communicating with FTP servers using DataPower appliances, creating and consuming Web services attachments, performing advanced troubleshooting, and automating DataPower migration tasks.
