IBM Datacap 9.0: Application Builder with FastDoc and Datacap Studio

This course shows you how to create and configure an application using FastDoc and then to enhance it using Datacap Studio. You create two applications with the Application Wizard, one using the Learning Template and the other using the Form template. You use FastDoc to quickly recognize and configure processing for a new form and then further customize the application using Datacap Studio. In this class there will be greater use of Datacap Studio than in the F221 prerequisite class.

Essentials for IBM Cognos BI (V10.2.2)

This accelerated offering is intended for core project team members wishing to acquire a broad understanding of a Business Intelligence platform implementation. During the ILT segments, participants will perform hands-on demos and workshops that cover three essential topic areas: modeling, report authoring, and administration of a BI platform. Throughout the ILT, participants will be guided to more-in depth training offerings and paths leading to certification. During the WBT portion of the course, students will be required to complete 22.5 hours of eLearning (6 WBTs and 1 recording).

IBM Datacap 9.0 Configuration

This course shows you how to configure two image Datacap system. All of the server components are configured to run on a Server image. All workstation components are the all-in-one configuration. This is with all Datacap software installed on one configured to run on a Windows 7 workstation. You work initially with an IBM Datacap system on Windows 7 configured in system. You then reconfigure to a two machine installation by including a Server 2008 DNS server with Active Directory and some of the Datacap server components.

IBM Storwize V7000 Implementation Workshop

Leverage SAN storage connectivity by integrating a layer of intelligence – the IBM Storwize V7000 – to facilitate storage application data access independence from storage management functions and requirements. Focus on planning and implementation tasks associated with integrating the IBM Storwize V7000 into the storage area network. Exploit both internal storage of the IBM Storwize V7000 as well as SAN attached external heterogeneous storage to centralize storage provisioning to both Fibre Channel and iSCSI host servers from common storage pools. Improve storage utilization effectiveness using thin provisioning and Real-time Compression. Implement storage tiering and optimize solid state drives (SSDs) usage with Easy Tier. Address backup recovery point objectives and recovery time objectives with FlashCopy technology. Facilitate the coexistence and migration of data from non-virtualized to the virtualized environment. Scale-out with a clustered Storwize V7000 system for capacity, throughput, and greater management efficiency.

This course covers the Storwize V7000 product but does not cover the features of the Storwize V7000 Unified product. The functions of the Storwize V7000 Unified product are covered in course IBM Storwize V7000 Unified Implementation Workshop (SSG00).
