This course is designed for anyone who wants to get an understanding of the InfoSphere MDM Architecture (including the Virtual and Physical Hubs). This course walks you through the major components of the InfoSphere MDM and how each component interacts. You will learn how InfoSphere MDM responds once a service is invoked and the various configuration and extension points of a service. The course is used as an introduction to various components that make up the MDM Architecture and prepares you to identify how MDM will fit into their organization and what pieces may be customized to fit their business requirements.

The next courses that may be of interest to you include:

• Data Model and Service Mapping for the InfoSphere MDM Advanced Edition V10 (ZZ610)
• Customizing the InfoSphere MDM Advanced Edition V10 (ZZ640)
• IBM InfoSphere MDM Server Service Customization for MDM Server 9 (ZZ340)
• InfoSphere MDM Server User Interface Generator (DC560)

• Understand the InfoSphere MDM Architecture and how a service on the Virtual and Physical Hub are handled
• Understand the Configuration Points of the InfoSphere MDM
• Understand the Core Data Entities of the Physical Hub and their relationship to each other
• Understand the Tables of the virtual Hub
• Understand the Extension Points of the InfoSphere MDM Physical Hub
• Understand the Configuration Points of the InfoSphere MDM Virtual Hub
• Understand the Common components and services of the Physical and Virtual Hubs

Prior to enrolling, IBM Employees must follow their Division/Department processes to obtain approval to attend this public training class. Failure to follow Division/Department approval processes may result in the IBM Employee being personally responsible for the class charges.  

GBS practitioners that use the EViTA system for requesting external training should use that same process for this course. Go to the EViTA site to start this process: http://w3.ibm.com/services/gbs/evita/BCSVTEnrl.nsf

Once you enroll in a GTP class, you will receive a confirmation letter that should show:

• The current GTP list price
• The 20% discounted price available to IBMers. This is the price you will be invoiced for the class.
