Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), Decision Model and Notation (DMN) and Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) are three Object Management Group (OMG) standards for processes, decisions, and case modelling. This course provides an introduction to all of them and informs when should we use which.

This 3 days course is aimed to introduce Drools 7 to Business Analysts responsible for writing tests and rules.

This course focuses on creating pure logic. Analysts after this course can writing tests and logic which then can be further integrated by developers with business applications.

This instructor-led, live training in Lexington (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level system administrators and developers who wish to configure, manage, and deploy Java applications on the JBoss platform.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure JBoss Application Server and its core components.
• Customize JBoss AS services for monitoring, database connections, and transaction management.
• Develop and deploy EJB 3 session beans and web applications.

IBM ODM (a.k.a. WebSphere Operational Decision Manager) is a Business Rule Management System (BRMS). It consists of a central repository and automation engine that allow for the creation, management, testing and governance of business rules and events. Rules and events are stored in the central repository where they can be accessed and modified by individuals and software without the need to rebuild any software.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to create, manage and execute business rules as well as how to deploy and manage an instance of IBM ODM Decision Management in a live environment.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Manage ODM components, including IBM Decision Center and IBM Decision Server
• Manage and execute business rules and events
• Reduce the testing cycle by enabling other software applications to detect and pick up changes to rules
• Combine decision making and change detection tools to facilitate adaptation, auditing, tracing and testing
• Separate business rules from business applications for greater flexibility
• Build easy-to-maintain business rule client applications
• Use Event Designer to build business event projects
• Deploy and test business event applications
• Build a customized dashboard for monitoring business events
• Enable collaboration among architects, developers and administrators for developing and maintaining decision services
• Enable business analysts, policy managers and rule authors develop and maintain an application's decision logic

Audience

• Developers
• Project managers

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

This course introduces the student to the Python language with a security-first pedagogical approach. Upon completion of this class, the student will be able to write non-trivial Python programs dealing with a wide variety of subject matter domains while applying industry-standard secure coding principles. Topics include language components, working with a professional IDE, control flow constructs, strings, I/O, collections, classes, modules, and regular expressions—all evaluated through vulnerability mitigation and secure architecture lenses. The course is supplemented with many hands-on labs, secure solutions, and code examples.

After completing the course, students will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Python Security Principles, environment-scoped security policies (skope-rules), dependency isolation, automated SAST/DAST integration, and DevSecOps-aligned secure development workflows.

This course is aimed at enterprise architects, business and system analysts, technical managers and developers who want to apply business rules to their solutions.

This course contains a lot of simple hands-on exercises during which the participants will create working rules. Please refer to our other courses if you just need an overview of Drools.

This course is usually delivered on the newest stable version of Drools and jBPM, but in case of a bespoke course, can be tailored to a specific version.
