In this 5-day course you will learn Tivoli Dynamic Workload Broker (TDWB) planning, installation, configuration, maintenance, operations, and problem solving.
Take an in-depth look at the product components, including the server, agents, Job Brokering Definition Console (JBDC), and the Tivoli Dynamic Web Console user interface. Learn about resource-based job brokering and dynamic workload optimization policies and how to express them in Job Submission Definition Language (JSDL). Explore workload scenarios and how to optimize them according to your business needs. You will make advanced configurations for security and audit over various supported operating systems and different RDBMS, including DB2 and Oracle. Learn how to analyze, determine, and resolve common TDWB problems.
The course includes practical samples and templates. Training takes place in a classroom environment with multiple opportunities to practice concepts by performing lab exercises using production scenarios.
