Business Object Development Guide
(Manual, pdf)
This document describes how to use Business Object Designer to
create business object definitions, both manually and using an Object Discovery
Agent (ODA). Object Discovery Agents are designed to"discover" business object
requirements specific to a data source and to generate definitions from those
requirements. Business Object Designer provides a graphical user interface
(GUI) to the available Object Discovery Agents, and helps manage the discovery
and definition generation processes. This document also explains how to use
the Object Discovery Agent Development Kit (ODK) to create Object Discovery
Agents.
Collaboration Development Guide
(Manual, pdf)
This document describes how to use Process Designer to create collaborations,
which are part of the WebSphere InterChange Server infrastructure. Collaborations
are programs that contain the business logic for application integration.

This document provides an introduction to the use of maps and relationships
and describes how to use IBM WebSphere tools for creating and modifying them.
Benchmarking Guide
(Manual, pdf)
This document describes the tools and tasks used to benchmark the
IBM WebSphere InterChange Server system. It is designed to explain the benchmark
user interface and functionality, but it does not cover how to interpret a
benchmark and modify IBM WebSphere InterChange Server content in response
to such an interpretation.
WebSphere Business Integration Collaborations Reference Guide (G325-2001-01)
(Manual, pdf)
This reference guide discusses how jump-starting your business
integration projects with WebSphere Business Integration Collaborations can
help decrease costs, minimize risk and accelerate time to realized business
value. Collaborations help support new ways of doing business by separating

WebSphere Business Integration Toolset - Advanced Mapping - BI140
(Classroom course)
Get hands-on experience with many typical and atypical business
challenges related to data transformation. Examine basic business rules, such
as those related to reformatting data parsing values, padding characters for
legacy integration, and manipulating business object verbs. Intermediate topics
include polymorphic mapping and managing transformations between applications
that have varying degree of normalization in the design of their data structures.
Advanced topics include encapsulating logic in custom classes for simplified
deployment and maintenance and building a collaboration template that calls
a map. Because mapping is extensively used in all WebSphere Business Integration,
this is a critical course for successfully implementing the InterChange Server.
WebSphere Business Integration Server - InterChange Server Deployment Workshop - BI103

Explore static lookups, foreign key cross referencing, and complex
child level cross referencing in-depth. Work with cross-referencing methods
for dealing with data that is stored as different values in disparate applications.
