WE751 IBM Essentials of Service Development for IBM DataPower Gateway V7.5

Description

Duration

3 Days

18 CPD hours

This course is intended for

This course is designed for integration developers who configure service policies on IBM© DataPower Gateways.

Overview

After completing this course, you should be able to:
Describe how DataPower gateways are configured
Create and configure cryptographic objects
Configure Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to and from DataPower gateways
Configure a multi-protocol gateway (MPGW) to handle multiple protocols from a single service
Configure a service level monitoring (SLM) policy to control message traffic
Use logs and probes to troubleshoot services
Use patterns to define and deploy new services
Configure message transformation and routing by using style sheets (XSL) and GatewayScripts
Handle errors in service policies

This course teaches you the essential skills that are required to configure, implement, and troubleshoot services that are developed on the IBM© DataPower Gateways (IDG) with firmware version 7.5.0, regardless of use case.
The DataPower Gateways allow an enterprise to simplify, accelerate, and enhance the security capabilities of its XML and web services deployments, and extend the capabilities of its service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure. The gateways also extend these capabilities into the JSON, REST, and Mobile application areas.
Through a combination of instructor-led lectures and hands-on lab exercises, you learn how to develop and debug services that are implemented on the DataPower gateways. These skills include WebGUI and Blueprint Console navigation, service type selection, basic multi-protocol gateway configuration, creating and using cryptographic objects, and configuring SSL connections. You also learn how to use various problem determination tools such as logs, monitors, and probes, and techniques for testing DataPower services and handling errors.
Hands-on exercises give you experience working directly with a DataPower Gateway. The exercises focus on skills such as creating multi-protocol gateways, working with cryptographic and SSL objects, configuring service level monitoring, troubleshooting services, handling errors in a service policy, and deploying a service from a pattern.
