Essentials of Service Development for IBM DataPower Gateway V7.5
Course code: WE751G
Duration: 2.5 Days
Prerequisite:
Before taking this course, you should successfully complete course VW750, Technical Introduction to IBM DataPower Gateway Appliance V7.5.0.
You should also be familiar with:
• Security-based concepts and protocols
• XML-related technologies such as XML schema, XPath, and XSLT
• JavaScript programming
• Web service and REST basics
Course Description:
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 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.
Course Objectives:
• 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
Intended Audience:
This course is designed for integration developers who configure service policies on IBM DataPower Gateways.
