Getting Started with SOA WS007 (classroom) VS007 (online) Course Abstract

Course Description This course offers an introduction to service-oriented architecture (SOA), and describes the essential concepts of SOA that affect a broad technical audience.

General Information Delivery method: Classroom

Audience: This course is designed for technical managers, application developers, system administrators, and architects. It is also beneficial for business analysts and business managers.

Learning objectives: After completing this course, students should be able to:  Explain the business and technical value of adopting SOA  Describe SOA and explain how it relates to contemporary software architectural styles  Explain the principles and characteristics of services within SOA, and identify various service types  Explain Information Services, and how and when to apply it  Describe service-oriented integration (SOI) and explain how it differs from contemporary integration approaches  Identify methodologies for service-oriented analysis and design  Describe programming models and standards that support the realization of SOA and SOI  Describe Web services, and explain how they support the realization of SOA solutions  Describe IBM’s SOA Foundation, and identify IBM offerings that support IBM’s SOA life cycle  Define SOA governance  Explain the need for SOA governance  Explain IBM’s SOA governance offerings for establishing SOA governance within an organization  Explain IBM’s SOA scenarios and describe how these support adoption of SOA within an organization

Prerequisites: Before taking this course, students should have one or more of these skills:  Gathering and analyzing business requirements  Managing software development projects  Designing and developing software solutions  Applying software development methodologies to the design of software solutions  Administering software solutions  Designing and developing systems integration solutions

Duration: 2 days

Unit 6. SOA Foundation – modeling Learning objectives: After completing this unit, students should be able to:  Describe the benefits of modeling in SOA  Define Rational Unified Process for service-oriented modeling and architecture (RUP for SOMA)  Describe the key components of the UML 2 profile of software services, and explain how it supports the development of work products for service-oriented analysis and design  Explain the role of WebSphere Business Modeler in supporting process modeling, analysis, and optimization  Identify the key work flows, activities, and guidance offered by RUP for SOMA towards service identification, specification, and realization  Explain the role of Rational Software Architect in supporting the development of work products required within RUP for SOMA Exercises:  Demonstration of service identification and specification

Unit 7. SOA scenarios Learning objectives: After completing this unit, students should be able to:  Define IBM SOA scenarios and describe how they relate to SOA entry points  Explain SOA scenario realizations and how they enable a business to rapidly design SOA solutions using the IBM SOA Foundation  Describe solution patterns for the service creation scenario and identify products from the IBM SOA Foundation that can be used to realize these solution patterns  Describe solution patterns for the service connectivity scenario and identify products from the IBM SOA Foundation that can be used to realize these solution patterns  Describe one solution pattern for the BPM scenario and identify products from the IBM SOA Foundation that can be used to realize this solution pattern Exercises:  Identifying and applying SOA scenarios to the case study
