Introduction to Service-Oriented Architecture for Business Analysts

Transcription

1 Introduction to Service-Oriented Architecture for Business Analysts This course will provide each participant with a high-level comprehensive overview of the Service- Oriented Architecture (SOA), emphasizing Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) and its role for modeling corporate workflows and SOA processing. This course will discuss the concept and role of the SOA surroundings in the corporate environment including integration of Web services, architecture of the Enterprise Service Bus, and routing of SOA messages. It then focuses on the usage of business process models, the role of BPEL and BPEL4WS, vendor product support, integration of WSDL and other XML standards, BPELWS partner concepts, stateful interactions, BPEL extensions, use of the Modeler, mapping elements in BPEL4WS, and the role of the Integration Server. All aspects of this class will incorporate the architecture offerings of the SOA environment to illustrate the implementation of these techniques. Course Objectives: Understand the Service-Oriented Architecture. Illustrate the components of the SOA Pyramid. Depict the role of Web services and corresponding client interaction. Discuss the role of the Integration Server and its components. Understand the pathway to a complete SOA architecture. Define the use of the Enterprise Service Bus for managing SOA communications. Discuss the logical and physical SOA components in the SOA corporate environment. Define the use of business rules in an SOA implementation. Illustrate the importance of SOA Governances. Illustrate the integration of BPEL in an SOA environment. Understand the role of business process modeling. Depict the role of the infrastructure components used with BPEL. Understand the role of Business Process Management. Determine the migration from workflows to BPEL models. Learn the syntax and semantics of BPEL and BPEL4WS. Understand the relationship between BPEL and other Web services standards such as WSDL (Web services Description Language). Understand which BPEL constructs are most appropriate for different application scenarios. Understand the use of modeling tools to develop BPEL and BPEL4WS processes. Depict the key concepts of BPEL4WS: partners, endpoints, activities, correlation, data handling and scope. Understand the generated files and the role of the different files generated from our BPEL models. Audience: This course is designed for IT professionals that will be designing business processes for the SOA environment. Prerequisites: Familiarity with the Java programming language is helpful.
