Test 000-377: IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V7.0, Core Administration

This intermediate level certification is intended for system administrators who perform the installation, configuration and day-to-day tasks associated with ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of a WebSphere Application Server runtime environment.

This includes:

product installation and configuration installation and deployment of Java enterprise applications connection to back-end resources configuration of WebSphere messaging configuration of security troubleshooting development of scripts for automating day-to-day tasks system monitoring and gathering data for performance tuning back-up and recovery

This administrator is generally self-sufficient and is able to perform most of the tasks involved in the role with limited assistance from peers, product documentation and vendor support services.

Recommended Prerequisite Skills:

Java Enterprise Edition 5 knowledge network and operating system security concepts basic Web application architecture and deployments understanding of operating systems server clustering and failover techniques network or operating system administration and problem determination skills

Test information:

Number of questions: 56 Time allowed in minutes: 90 Required passing score: 58% Test languages: English

To prepare for Test 000-377, it is first recommended that you are familiar with the job role description and the parameters this certification is based on, as well as have knowledge of the topics outlined in the test objectives/skills measured on the test. Compare your own technical level to the test objectives and the recommended training resources, and then determine for yourself how much preparation you require. Note that these educational sources are recommended, but not required (*) before taking a certification test.

Before preparing for the certification test, it is recommended that you measure your current level of skill by taking the Assessment Test (located from the "Sample/Assessment test" link above). After you have completed your test preparation/training, you can assess your improved level of skill and readiness for the certification test, by re-taking the Assessment Test.

You can prepare for the test through the Tutor Approach (classroom, instructor led course) or the Self-Study Approach. Sources within each approach collectively cover the skills measured on the test.
