Technical Introduction to IBM App Connect Enterprise

In this course, you learn how IBM App Connect Enterprise enables information that is packaged as messages to flow between different business applications, ranging from large traditional systems through autonomous devices such as sensors and pipelines. You also learn how IBM App Connect Enterprise constructs message flow applications to transport and transform data.

The course also explains how to control the flow of data by using various processing nodes. Topics include an overview of mapping, testing, securing, and monitoring message flows. The course also provides techniques used to expand the capabilities of message flow applications by making them aware of the runtime environments in which they operate.
