This web-based, technical primer course provides a technical overview of batch processing in IBM Cúram 6.0.5. The aim of the course is to provide Cúram developers with an introduction to the way in which IBM Cúram handles batch processing. As batch processing is a generic technology, the value for developers is that the course focuses on the Cúram-specific aspects of its use in the IBM Cúram SPM Platform 6.0.5.

If you are enrolling in a Self Paced Virtual Classroom or Web Based Training course, before you enroll, please review the Self-Paced Virtual Classes and Web-Based Training Classes on our Terms and Conditions page, as well as the system requirements, to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for this course.
