WebSphere Training Overview
This course utilizes a combination of instructor-led lectures and interactive workshops to demonstrate the administrative tasks for maintaining the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment environment. This seminar will focus on: WebSphere editions, deployment considerations using ASTK, migration strategies, browser-based administration, scripting, performance and tuning issues, workload management, failover strategies, clustering, defining JMS servers, session management concerns, DataSources, PMI metrics and JVMPI and monitoring strategies.
Each of the topics will be reinforced through a series of hands-on exercises and case studies.
