IntroductionCourse Outline

The labs for this course use WebSphere ESB 7.0.  The WebSphere ESB 7.5 product did not contain changes that would impact administrators as the only changes were fairly small changes for developers.  IBM released a 7.5 product mainly because there were changes introduced in the business process management features of WebSphere Process Server which is related to WebSphere ESB.  Also, integration developers would need to use a new product, the "IBM Integration Designer" to develop for the new business process platform, the "IBM Business Process Manager 7.5" product so the WebSphere ESB 7.5 version was created to keep the version numbers of these related products synchronized.
