Description
Learn how to build and deploy process integration solutions using the WebSphere Integration Developer (WID) and WebSphere Process Server (WPS). Examine the concepts, architecture, components, processes, and procedures involved in implementing an integrated solution.
WPS, which supports a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), is the ideal platform for business applications that require business integration using different technologies. Using the WID tool set, business integration solutions can be created using simplified integration mechanisms, such as the Service Component Architecture (SCA) programming model and the Service Data Objects (SDO) data model. SDO business objects can be defined, transformed, routed, and mediated using SCA components. WebSphere Adapters supply connectivity to back-end Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). With WPS, business integration applications may define business logic and processes based on Web Services - Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL), human tasks, and business rules. For the run-time monitoring of the business integration solutions, WPS provides the Common Event Infrastructure (CEI), which centralizes the monitoring of the various events that can occur in these applications.
In this course, using the above technologies, design, develop, and test the integration of business processes between disparate applications using the WPS, WID, and WebSphere Adapters. Also, learn the basics of how the WPS and WID work with the WebSphere Business Modeler, WebSphere Business Monitor, and WebSphere Partner Gateway.
