WebSphere Information Integrator Federated Workshop  (U5789)

Category: Training  WebSphere
Format: Instructor-Led Classroom
Other Formats:
 
IACET credits 4.0
 

WebSphere Federated Database Technology, as implemented by DB2 UDB and WebSphere Information Integrator (formerly known as DB2 Information Integrator), provides unparalleled capabilities to access and manage both relational and non-relational data spanning multiple data sources, including multivendor, from a single query, all of this with superior performance. This is true cross platform multidatabase support without the cross platform limitations imposed by other federated tools and facilities. Develop your skills by setting up and administrating a Federated Database environment. Learn the configuration for all supported DB2 UDB and WebSphere Information Integrator data sources. Complete hands-on exercises between DB2 UDB for Windows, DB2 UDB for z/OS and OS/390, DB2 UDB for AIX, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle databases are included. Using a server that you configure, perform an optimized four-way join between these data sources from a single SQL statement. Use the ability to create a Materialized Query Tables (MQT) based upon nicknames in order to employ a data grid. Access non-relational data sources, for example Excel spreadsheets, Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents or Web services, from DB2 SQL select statements. Continue developing your management skills by monitoring, tuning, and troubleshooting a Federated Database environment. Learn the configuration options for all supported DB2 UDB and WebSphere Information Integrator data sources and how to tune the Federated Server for maximum Federated Database performance. Complete hands-on exercises in which you will further optimize your previously implemented four-way join while exploring tuning and problem determination options. This course is appropriate for professionals working with DB2 UDB, WebSphere Information Integrator, and DiscoveryLink Federated Technology applications.

Skills Gained

 
  • Configuring the federated environment

  • Define user mappings in order to connect to remote multivendor data sources

  • Change the default type mappings to have more appropriate data mappings for your environment

  • Define function mappings to make the federated server aware of remote fuctions

 
  • Use Passthru to access the remote data source in native mode

  • Define the appropriate security settings to implement your desired federated security environment

  • Set the appropriate server, nickname, and column options in order to optimize performance

  • Tune the federated environment

Who Can Benefit

  This is an intermediate course for database administrators, application programmers, Data Warehouse (DW) administrators, system architects, and consultants. It is also for Business Intelligence (BI), e-business, application integration, and system integration professionals. Additionally, it is for other professionals with an interest in architecting, planning, and constructing an Integrated DW or Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) solution.

Prerequisites

  You should be able to configure DB2 clients using the DB2 Configuration Assistant or manual means or be able to set up client/server connectivity for either Oracle or Microsoft SQL databases. You should complete:
 
  • IBM DB2 UDB Essentials Curriculum (T14D1)

 
  • or understand the basic concepts of a relational database and its usage within a business

Course Materials

  he course materials cover WebSphere Information Integrator V8.2.

Hands-On Labs

  Ten labs are included to address helping you to implement a DB2 federated server to access both relational and non-relational data sources and to optimize accessing the various data sources.
