This course provides instruction in using IBM App Connect Enterprise to connect to IBM MQ and reference databases. The first part of this course covers traditional use cases for IBM App Connect Enterprise including using App Connect Enterprise in conjunction with JMS, web services, and IBM MQ. The second half extends topics discussed in prior courses including using the Graphical Data Mapping editor to create a DFDL model and using ESQL in a Compute node. The course also covers referencing a database in a message flow application.

• Build a message flow that manages workload distributions between two integration nodes
• Develop a message flow that manages workload distributions between two integration nodes by using IBM MQ
• Design a message flow that reads from and writes to a Java Messaging Service destination queue
• Create a message flow that transforms an XML input into a JSON Array output structure using a Mapping node
• Create a Data Format Description Language (DFDL) message model schema in a shared library and test it by parsing the input data
• Develop an application that serializes a message with an XML message as input
• Transform messages using the Compute or a JavaCompute node
• Design a message flow that reads from and writes to a database by using Open Database Connectivity (OBDC) and Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) connections�
