IBM - IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1 System Administration 1 and 2

KURSZIEL
IBM - IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1 System Administration 1 and 2: This intermediate to advanced course is designed for system administrators who will install, configure, administer and deploy portlets to WebSphere Portal and manage them in a high-availability portal environment. This includes clustering, cross-environment deployment, and deployment of resources into a cluster.KursbeschreibungThis course combines the IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1 Administration 1 and 2 courses to create a comprehensive five-day course. Students begin by installing WebSphere Portal 6.1 and deploying and managing portal resources and access. The course covers deployment and management of portal resources, such as portlets, pages, themes, and skins. Students will also manage page hierarchies and configure resource permissions on portal resources. In the second part of the course, students learn WebSphere Portal administration including configuring a horizontal portal cluster, deploying resources (such as portlets) in a clustered environment, troubleshooting a portal clustered environment, moving the portal from staging to production, and performing administrative tasks in a clustered environment.ZielgruppeThe target audience for this course is Independent Software Vendors, Systems Integrators, and IBM technical staff, Architects and developers responsible for implementing solutions using WebSphere Portal version 6.1. IBM WebSphere Portal version 5 architects and developers will benefit as well.
