Learn to connect to a database from IBM Integration Bus using a Java Type 4 driver, configure data sources and security identities, and build a result message from a query.
Exercise and the steps to connect to the database using ODBC and JDBC driver.
Configure the global cache in IBM Integration Bus, create hashmap-based maps for finance data, and manage key-value stores across brokers with cache policies and catalog services.
Move dynamic data from the database to a global cache, and access it via a Java class implementing get and put operations.
Learn how to route messages in IBM Integration Bus using the RouteToLabel node, including configuring labels, local variables, and destination data to direct messages to the correct outputs.
Learn how to route messages with a route node in IBM Integration Bus, using export filters and multiple match conditions to direct to destinations, with first-match and default paths.
MQRFH2 header details and implementation in IBM Integration Bus by managing environment and global variables, passing data across flows, and handling external service calls and message routing.
Test mqrfh2 header implementation in IBM Integration Bus workflows by creating, propagating, and validating headers across flows and downstream service responses.
Explore implementing the message aggregation pattern in IBM Integration Bus with aggregate control, aggregate request, and aggregate reply nodes, plus queue manager setup and mock flight and hotel testing.
Learn to validate incoming messages and create a message model with a schema and library definitions in IBM Integration Bus, aligning with industry standard formats.
Explore XML and COBOL message modelling within the IBM integration bus, using library-driven validation of messages against defined schemas, including COBOL copybooks and multiple-record formats.
Parse a COBOL copybook using the IBM integration bus message model to generate and validate a data schema. Test line lengths and numeric fields, then serialize the data.
Explore csv message modelling by defining headers and bodies, and constructing schemas with multiple records, mapping columns and data types such as string and decimal for IBM Integration Bus.
Create a message model for a delimited data record and parse it by configuring initiator, terminator, delimiting rules, and infix separators, handling fields like company name and employee numbers.
Learn how transformation drives IBM Integration Bus by converting message formats like xml and json using message models. Without models, all data in the xml message are treated as strings.
Convert XML message to JSON format, in this example, JSON array and complex elements mappings are explained.
Construct a concatenated string using dfdl by defining a six-element customer schema, trimming each field with substring to fixed lengths, and building a string message for transmission.
Learn to transform XML messages into fixed-length COBOL copybook format using IBM integration bus, including building message models from COBOL schemas, mapping fields, handling repeating items, and validating lengths.
Explore service oriented architecture and web services, showing how endpoints and ESB enable loosely coupled applications. Understand how producers and consumers expose and consume services with contracts.
Explore how rest api uses get, post, and delete operations defined by swagger to fetch, create, update, or delete resources, with body versus parameters and standard 200 responses.
Explore broker-wide and embedded listeners, their default ports (such as 7080), and how to switch between them to route requests across integration servers.
Implement a rest api using swagger to define operations such as get, post, and delete, map requests to database entries or Salesforce records, and test via IBM Integration Bus flows.
Explore how to create swagger in toolkit, define resources and post methods, work with definitions and schemas, and view the resulting swagger document for API design.
The course is designed to understand the core functionalities of IIB, and the importance is given completely on practical exercises. The ESQL programming gives the knowledge to build any business logic and do the transformations. Different routing techniques are explained including publishing and subscribe. Message modeling gives the knowledge to create a model for any kind of message and use it in message flows. Event-based communication is explained along with the Record and Replay mechanism. Detailed and the different ways of logging techniques are explained that will help to identify and resolve the error much faster.
