IBM Transformation Extender Fundamentals
IBM Transformation Extender Fundamentals Course Details:
IBM Transformation Extender performs transformation and routing of data from source systems to target systems in batch and real-time environments. Through a combination of lectures and hands-on lab exercises, this course will teach you how to use the IBM Transformation Extender Design Studio to define, transform, and route business objects and complex flat file data. Specific topics discussed include an overview of the IBM Transformation Extender product and its features, creating and deploying maps, working with a resource registry, retrieving/updating data from database. Hands-on exercises give you practical experience with skills such as optimizing maps, handling and logging errors, defining data, and indexing output.
