Course Overview
The 4-day course is designed to teach IICS Boot Camp to developers and analysts through lectures, demos, and labs. Attendees with or without PowerCenter exposure will become IICS proficient in a few days. IICS draws its roots from PowerCenter; however, many architectural differences, naming conventions, and different interfaces will be covered in detail.
The course covers the architecture and data integration features that allow attendees to integrate hybrid data between cloud-based applications and on-premises data and systems.
The boot camp will teach developers and analysts how to create mappings, mapplets, tasks, and taskflows in addition to a variety of other techniques. Labs from real-life use cases have intro and advanced segments to challenge all attendees’ background levels.
