This course is designed for IT managers, planners and architects. The course presents an overview of SOA, describes the SOA reference architecture, and demonstrates how the existing and new z/OS applications can support the SOA framework. It highlights the new development tools and z/OS facilities for SOA-enabling z/OS applications and data access. It also provides several integration scenarios for access to CICS, IMS and DB2 applications and data.
You Will Learn How To:
In this course, the student will learn:
SOA Fundamentals – what Service Oriented Architecture is
How the business can benefit from SOA infrastructure – who needs SOA?
Leading SOA vendors and their offerings
What IBM has done to include the z/OS platform in the SOA model
The SOA development methodology (SOAD)
How to use the SOAD in z/OS environment for new applications
How to integrate legacy applications using SOA (CICS, DB2, IMS and Batch)
Best practices
Course Prerequisites
The attendees should have a good understanding of the z/OS application environment and development facilities.
Who Should Attend?
IT managers, Architects and planners responsible for software design, implementation and deployment in the z/OS environment.
