Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), Decision Model and Notation (DMN), and Case Management Model and Notation (CMMN) represent three Object Management Group (OMG) standards dedicated to process modeling, decision-making frameworks, and case management. This course offers an overview of each standard and clarifies the appropriate contexts for applying them.

This 3-day course is designed to introduce Drools 7 to Business Analysts tasked with writing tests and rules.

The curriculum emphasizes the creation of pure logic. Upon completion, analysts will be able to write tests and logic that developers can subsequently integrate into business applications.

This three-day course is designed to introduce developers to Drools 7. Please note that this course does not cover Drools integration, performance optimization, or other advanced topics.

This instructor-led, live training in Portugal (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level system administrators and developers who wish to configure, manage, and deploy Java applications on the JBoss platform.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure JBoss Application Server and its core components.
• Customize JBoss AS services for monitoring, database connections, and transaction management.
• Develop and deploy EJB 3 session beans and web applications.
• Utilize the JBoss Messaging Service to deploy and manage JMS applications.
• Manage JBoss AS through the Java Management Extension and Administration Console.
• Implement JBoss Drools for business rules management and utilize the Guvnor tool for rule development and testing.

IBM ODM (also known as WebSphere Operational Decision Manager) is a Business Rule Management System (BRMS). It features a central repository and an automation engine that facilitate the creation, management, testing, and governance of business rules and events. These rules and events are stored in the central repository, allowing individuals and software to access and modify them without requiring any software rebuilds.

During this instructor-led live training, participants will learn how to create, manage, and execute business rules, as well as how to deploy and manage an instance of IBM ODM Decision Management within a live environment.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Manage ODM components, including IBM Decision Center and IBM Decision Server
• Manage and execute business rules and events
• Reduce the testing cycle by enabling other software applications to detect and pick up changes to rules
• Combine decision making and change detection tools to facilitate adaptation, auditing, tracing and testing
• Separate business rules from business applications for greater flexibility
• Build easy-to-maintain business rule client applications
• Use Event Designer to build business event projects
• Deploy and test business event applications
• Build a customized dashboard for monitoring business events
• Enable collaboration among architects, developers and administrators for developing and maintaining decision services
• Enable business analysts, policy managers and rule authors develop and maintain an application's decision logic

Audience

• Developers
• Project managers

Format of the course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

This course adopts a hands-on methodology to teach OptaPlanner. It equips participants with the necessary tools to carry out the core functions of this software.

This course introduces the Python language with a security-first pedagogical approach. Upon completion of this class, students will be able to write non-trivial Python programs that address a wide variety of subject matter domains while applying industry-standard secure coding principles. Topics include language components, working with a professional IDE, control flow constructs, strings, I/O, collections, classes, modules, and regular expressions—all evaluated through vulnerability mitigation and secure architecture lenses. The course is supplemented with many hands-on labs, secure solutions, and code examples.

After completing the course, students will be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Python Security Principles, environment-scoped security policies (skope-rules), dependency isolation, automated SAST/DAST integration, and DevSecOps-aligned secure development workflows.

Designed for enterprise architects, business and systems analysts, technical managers, and developers seeking to integrate business rules into their solutions.

The course features numerous practical exercises where participants will build functional rules. For those requiring only a high-level overview of Drools, please consult our other courses.

Typically delivered on the latest stable version of Drools and jBPM, bespoke versions of this course can be customized to suit specific version requirements.
