Classroom Course
Course title: WebSphere Application Server V8 Administration for Windows
Course duration: 5
Course number: WA380G
Abstract: See also "Online course" alternative ZA380G
This 5-day instructor-led course teaches students the skills needed to install and administer IBM
WebSphere Application Server V8. As the latest release of WebSphere Application Server,
Version 8 offers users enhanced support for standards, emerging technology, and a choice of
development frameworks.

In this course, students learn how to install, configure, and maintain IBM WebSphere Application
Server V8 base and Network Deployment (ND), and to deploy enterprise Java applications in a
single machine or clustered configuration. In addition, students learn how to work with features
new to WebSphere Application Server V8, such as IBM Installation Manager, WebSphere
Customization Toolbox, administrative console extensions, security enhancements, and the
centralized installation manager. Optional units cover topics such as centralized installation,
auditing, and customizing Information Center content.
Throughout the course, hands-on exercises and demonstrations reinforce lecture content.
Students gain practical experience with WebSphere Application Server V8 by performing tasks
such as installing and assembling applications, using properties file-based configuration,
applying problem determination techniques, and working with fine-grained administrative
security.

Course title: IBM WebSphere Message Broker V8 Application Development I
Course duration: 5 days
Course number: WM664G
Abstract:
Please also see alternative option ZM664G (listed under "Online Courses").
Students learn about the components of the WebSphere Message Broker development and
runtime environments. The course explores message flow problem determination, with an
emphasis on identifying and recovering from errors in message flows. Students then learn how
to construct message flows that use extended Structured Query Language (ESQL), Java, and
PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) to transform messages. The course also explores how to
control the flow of messages using various message processing nodes, and how to use
databases and maps to transform and enrich messages during processing. Various messaging
transports are reviewed at a high level, so that students gain a basic understanding of how
message flows can use web services, Java Message Service (JMS), and other transport
mechanisms. In addition, students learn to write efficient message flows by applying the

concepts of message parsing, serialization, and message modeling. Finally, students explore
advanced topics, such as how to extend the functionality of WebSphere Message Broker by
using adapters and other WebSphere products.
Throughout the course, extensive hands-on lab exercises allow students to practice the skills
and concepts that are discussed in the lectures. The hands-on labs cover topics such as
creating and testing message flows, message modeling, problem determination, error handling,
and using a wide range of message processing nodes to construct message flows.

Course title: IBM WebSphere Message Broker V8 Application Development II
Course duration: 5 days
Course number: WM674G
Abstract:
Please also see alternative option ZM674G (listed under "Online Courses").
This course extends your knowledge of the WebSphere Message Broker product, focusing on
using WebSphere Message Broker to develop, deploy, and support platform-independent
message flow applications. These applications use various messaging topologies to transport
messages between service requestors and service providers, and also allow the messages to
be routed, transformed, and enriched during processing.
Topics in this course include writing message flows that use web services, working with JMS
transports, modeling and testing messages with the Data Format Description Language (DFDL),
and aggregating messages from multiple sources. You also learn how to extend message flows
to interact with FTP servers and other products, and how to use the publish/subscribe
messaging topology. They implement built-in patterns and learn how to develop, test, and
deploy user-defined patterns. You also learn how WebSphere Message Broker interacts with
other products, and how to use the record and replay facility to capture and view messages
during processing. Extensive labs throughout the course enable you to practice your new skills.
The lab environment for this course uses the Windows platform.
