Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for z/OS Training

This course is designed for IT managers, planners and architects. The course presents an overview of SOA, describes the SOA reference architecture, and demonstrates how the existing and new z/OS applications can support the SOA framework. It highlights the new development tools and z/OS facilities for SOA-enabling z/OS applications and data access. It also provides several integration scenarios for access to CICS, IMS and DB2 applications and [..]

Introduction Course Outline

What you will learn
