WebSphere Portal Server Administration
Duration:   3 days
Audience Prerequisites

This course is tailored for server administrators.

  • System administrators
  • Consultants
  • Software architects
  • Enterprise application developers

Experience with administering WebSphere Application Server 6.1 is recommended before taking this course.

Description
A portal is a Web site that provides end users with a single point of access to Web-based resources by aggregating those resources in one place and by requiring that users log in only to the portal itself and not to each application (called portlets) they use. WebSphere Portal is middleware, applications (portlets), and development tools for building and managing secure business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), and business-to-employee (B2E) portals.

This course focuses on how to install, configure, customize, and administer IBM's portal offerings. It also covers the portal server's architecture, portlet API, and how to create your own portlets with IBM Rational Application Developer (RAD).

This course is highly hands-on. 60% of the time will be spent on doing labs.
