This course provides hands-on training to enable developers and integrators to customize the business objects within the IBM Tivoli Process Automation Platform 7.1 component architecture. Classroom lab exercises use the Eclipse IDE and leverage the product's Java tools and class libraries to manage and customize Mbos (Maximo business objects). Customizing business objects provides the means to create and assemble business solutions that may be used by Tivoli Asset Management for IT 7.1, Tivoli Change and Configuration Database (CCMDB) 7.1, Tivoli Service Request Manager 7.1, and Maximo Asset Management 7.1. This course is not part of the formal Tivoli curriculum. The materials are updated frequently and bypass the formal course editing and production processes.
