Course Overview
This four-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
Moyens d'évaluation :
- Quiz pré-formation de vérification des connaissances (si applicable)
- Évaluations formatives pendant la formation, à travers les travaux pratiques réalisés sur les labs à l’issue de chaque module, QCM, mises en situation…
- Complétion par chaque participant d’un questionnaire et/ou questionnaire de positionnement en amont et à l’issue de la formation pour validation de l’acquisition des compétences
