Accelerate, Secure and Integrate with IBM DataPower V6

Overview

An updated version of this course is available. For more information, click Accelerate, Secure, and Integrate with IBM DataPower V7 (WE701G).

This course is also available as self-paced virtual (e-learning) course Accelerate, Secure and Integrate with IBM DataPower V6.0 (ZE601G). This option does not require any travel.

In this course, you learn the fundamental skills that are required to implement IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances with firmware version 6.0.0.

The IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances allow an enterprise to simplify, accelerate, and enhance the security capabilities of its Extensible Markup Language (XML) and web services deployments, and extend the capabilities of its service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure. The appliances also extend these capabilities into the REST and JSON application areas.

Through a combination of instructor-led lectures and hands-on lab exercises, you learn how to implement the key use cases for the DataPower appliances. These include web service virtualization, web services security, integrating with IBM WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Java Message Service (JMS), mobile and REST support, integrating with OAuth 2.0, and authentication, authorization, and auditing (AAA). You also learn how to use various problem determination tools such as logs, monitors, and probes, and also techniques for testing DataPower services and handling errors.

Hands-on exercises give you experience working directly with an IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance. The exercises focus on skills such as creating multi-protocol gateways and web service proxies, working with encryption and cryptographic objects, configuring service level monitoring, troubleshooting services, and handling errors.

The lab environment for this course uses the Linux platform.
