Basic knowledge of Integration

Description

In this course, we start with the IBM ACE v12 installation. Once the installation is complete, Integration components are explained and created. Creation of the Integration Node, Integration server managed by the Integration node, and Independent Integration server is explained and implemented. Configuration file associated with both Integration Node and Independent Integration Server is explained. How to update the values in the configuration file is explained and implemented with the examples. Different ways to start and stop the Integration server managed by the Integration Node and Independent Integration server are explained and implemented.

Vault feature in IBM ACE v12 is explained in detail. How to configure the vault for Integration Node and Independent Integration server is explained and implemented. Explained clearly the difference between the External Directory vault and the Internal vault. How to configure the External directory using the toolkit is explained and implemented. How to pass the vault key to start the Integration Node and Independent Integration Server is explained and implemented. Also implemented both an external directory vault and an internal vault for the Integration Node.

Credentials in IBM ACE v12 are explained in detail with the ODBC example. These are the details covered in the Credentials:

Create credentials to connect to the Database, Retrieve the vault credentials, export the credentials from the vault, import the credentials to the vault, report the credentials, create credentials for the external directory vault, create credentials for the Independent Integration Server vault, and delete the credentials from the vault. Different debugging and logging method used in IBM ACE v12 is explained in detail and demonstrated with examples.

Web User Interface configuration is explained in detail with implementation which includes configuring the REST administration port, configuring SSL, configuring Authentication, and configuring Authorization.
