WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 Administration

Objectives

On successful completion of this course attendees will be able to:

• describe the set-up of the Java EE component model and how this model maps to the WAS infrastructure implementation
• explain WAS architecture and topology choices and relate them to the appropriate configuration
• configure and maintain the WebSphere Application Server
• detect the application flow and the interaction between Java EE application components and the server
• describe security for server-side applications
• explain how WAS can help with the evaluation and the follow-up of server availability and performance
• use the WAS tools for the management, the configuration and the evaluation of enterprise applications.

Who Should Attend

Webmasters, application administrators and system administrators who are going to install, configure and maintain web oriented applications on a WebSphere Application Server runtime.
The course is also suitable for those involved with products higher in the Java EE WebSphere software stack (Portal Server, Process Server, ESB Server, ...) where a good understanding and a working knowledge of the WAS runtime is key.
This course is also suitable for developers who want to test thoroughly for a WebSphere Application Server roll out. System architects and developer/deployers get to know the runtime context for the enterprise applications that they build.
If the WAS configuration on your site also requires you to have WAS skills in domains like distributed application support, cluster maintenance, high availability and the WAS messaging infrastructure (SIB, JMS, MQ) then you should also attend the follw-up course WebSphere Application Server V7.0 Administration - Part 2.

Prerequisites

Attendees should be able to use a web browser, be able to manipulate a Webserver, be TCP/IP-aware and be able to execute the basic manipulations (e.g. use the command line, use scripts, adapt configuration files) on an Operating System (Windows and/or UNIX/Linux).
A knowledge of Java EE and its components. This can be achieved by attending the course J2EE Architecture Explained. A general knowledge of the WebSphere family of products will also be an advantage.
