code: CMS350-2020.11 | version: 2020.x

This five day course enables students to understand advanced concepts and acquire Universal CMDB (UCMDB) development skills. Advanced topics are discussed and implementation methods and techniques are demonstrated using hands-on exercises. Jython, Java, and Web Services are introduced in the context of UCMDB.

The hands-on lab environment uses UCMDB version 10.2

Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to:

  • Use multiple tenants using the Multitenancy feature
  • Integrate multiple Configuration Management Databases (CMDBs) and explain the integration components and process
  • Use advanced modelling techniques and change the composite CI for the Universal CMDB (UCMDB) browser and Configuration Manager
  • Explain the reconciliation process and use identification rules
  • Develop new adapters: discovery and integration
  • Use UCMDB data in your adapters
  • Develop your own Jython scripts for your adapter
  • Develop your own Generic database adapter and federate data into UCMDB or populate UCMDB with data
  • Develop your own Java integration adapter
  • Use the UCMDB API for Java adapters
  • Develop your own XML push adapters
  • Explain the Web Services push adapter
  • Develop Java code using the UCMDB API
  • Use the UCMDB Java API for querying and populating the UCMDB
  • Develop your own Web Services client
