Oracle Service Bus 11g: System Admin, Design & Integrate Accelerated

This is a bundled course comprised of Oracle Service Bus 11g: System Administration and Oracle Service Bus 11g: Design and Integrate Services.

Oracle Service Bus enables the integration of services that support a variety of different protocols, security policies, and service level agreements.

In the System Administration course, you learn how to install and configure OSB 11g, and also gain hands-on experience in administrating its different components by using the Service Bus Console, WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST), and WebLogic Server Administration console. It also covers the management, monitoring, securing, and high availability of services hosted through Oracle Service Bus 11g. In the Design & Integrate Services course, you learn how to create Oracle Service Bus resources. You also learn how to route messages and use message flow best practices. You are introduced to Oracle Service Bus Security and how to debug with Oracle Service Bus.

Learn To:

• Manage and monitor OSB
• Implement Oracle Web Services Manager security in securing OSB services
• Enrich, route and validate messages within the Service Bus
• Understand Message Level Security and securing Oracle Service Bus
• Use some of the basic transports in Oracle Service Bus
• Install and configure Oracle Service Bus 11g
