Distributed AppServer Applications Administration

Duration

• 3 Days

Prerequisites

• The use of Progress 4GL to develop applications and access data

The courses, which will provide this required knowledge, are 4GL Essentials and Building SmartObject Applications.

Course Description

This entry level course introduces system administrators and application developers to the configuration and management of distributed application environments using the Progress AppServer in the Windows and UNIX operating systems. During the course students learn how to configure AppServer using the Progress Explorer tool and command line utilities, including operating modes, AppServer security, and AppServer load balancing and fault tolerance. Students also learn how to deploy and test distributed business logic.

Topics

Key topics in this course include

• Configure the distributed environment using AppServer technology.
• Start and stop AppServer components.
• Deploy and test distributed logic.
• Configure an operating mode for the AppServer to meet application design requirements.
• Plan and implement server side security.
• Configure and deploy AppServers for fault tolerance and load balancing.

Objectives

Formal product training will enable developers to make the most of their investment in Progress. By learning from the experts, developers will be taught the most efficient use of the 4GL and avoid picking up bad habits on the job.

Writing n-tier applications can be daunting. Knowing where the best place to put business logic and how to split the application across multiple machines can have significant performance benefits on your application.
