Microfocus Operations Orchestration Flow Development Training Course and Workshop in Bangalore, Mysore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Kolkata

This Microfocus Operations Orchestration Flow Development training course introduces the essential concepts and usage of the Operations Orchestration (OO) software along with some advanced features. Working with OO includes using OO Central, the OO runtime engine, to locate, run, monitor, and perform important administrative tasks and using OO Studio to author and deploy automated workflows.

Other topics in the course include using the source control management (SCM) system, which is a useful tool for groups of flow authors to work collaboratively on projects. This course also covers creating operations and subflows using OO Studio. Furthermore, you learn about using XML processing and using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). In addition, this course shows you how to configure emails for flows, use file system integration, and so on. Finally the importance of documenting your development is discussed.

By attending Microfocus Operations Orchestration Flow Development workshop, delegates will learn to:

Run and manage automated workflows using OO
Perform a wide range of system administration, monitoring, and management tasks using OO Central
Author, maintain, document, and package new automated workflows using the OO Studio application
Test and debug the flows locally and remotely
Work with Looping and Iteration operations
Apply parallel processing methods to your flows in OO
Use responses, rules, and transitions to control flow run
Use XML operations and XML filters for processing XML content in OO
Work with JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) operations

Results and Filters

Explain how to use results to create flow variables that contain operation outputs
Use the Step Inspector window’s Results tab to add results to steps
Use the Filter Inspector window to filter a result so only the data required by the flow is assigned to a result flow variable

Perform looping, iteration, and related tasks for the content in the OO library
Author a flow that uses iteration and list compilation
Create a flow that uses the counter operation

Parallel Processing

Explain the implementation of the following multi-processing methods in your flows:
Multi-instance step
Non-blocking step
Parallel-split step
Describe how to handle flow data in multi-processing operations
Create flows that use a multi-instance step
Create flows that use a parallel-split step

Working with XML Processing

List and describe the operations and filters available in OO for working with XML
Explain how to use iterative operations to compile data extracted from XML documents
