Course Overview:
This course exposes the experienced Integration Architect to Best Practice Architectural Principles for the webMethods Suite. The class starts with describing key Architectural framework principles to execution of the webMethods platform. Participants will learn and understand the webMethods Reference Architecture. The participant will also explore many key features and aspects of the webMethods ESB, BPMS, and Cache Management to deliver a highly-available and performant enterprise architecture.
Course Objectives:
- Describe Solutions Architectures utilizing the webMethods Suite
- Design scalable and performing architectures with the webMethods Suite
- Understand the operational and deployment requirements in the webMethods Suite
Pre-requisites:
- Experience with the webMethods platform, especially ESB components such as Integration Server and Universal Messaging
- Some Java experience including development and JVM knowledge
- Experience with XML messaging, Web Services and application integration
- Understanding of computer networking and administration
Target Audience:
