WebSphere Application Server V9 Administration in a Federated Environment

This course teaches you the skills that are needed to administer IBM WebSphere Application Server V9 in a federated environment.

This release of IBM WebSphere Application Server provides enhanced support for standards (notably Java 7 EE), emerging technology, and a choice of development frameworks.

In this course, you learn how to configure and maintain IBM WebSphere Application Server V9 Network Deployment. You learn how to deploy and create a deployment manager and federate a cell.

In addition, you learn how to create a cluster within the federated cell.

Throughout the course, hands-on exercises and demonstrations reinforce lecture content.

You gain practical experience with WebSphere Application Server V9 by completing tasks such as creating a deployment manager, federating a stand-alone application server, creating a custom profile, and clustering an existing application server.

• Basic operational skills for the Linux operating system
• Administrative skills for a web server, such as IBM HTTP Server or Apache
• Basic understanding of cloud concepts, private, public and hybrid clouds, and specifically traditional on-premises environments
• Completion of course WebSphere Application Server V9 Administration (WA590G) or WebSphere Application Server V9 Administration (ZA590G), or experience with WebSphere Application Server in a stand-alone environment

After completing this course, you should be able to:

·        Describe the architectural concepts that are related to WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment

·        Create a deployment manager instance

·        Federate an application server to a cell

·        Add a stand-alone application server to a WebSphere Application Server cell

·        Cluster an application server within a WebSphere Application Server cell
