Given SCCD is fully installed, configure a CI lifecycle so that the CI lifecycle is created.
Given that SCCD has been installed and the basic system data has been set up, TADDM set up, CI types set up, discovery performed, and customer requirements understood, describe depth of CI import data against activation of CI types so that non-activated CI types will be imported.
Given that TADDM data is to be loaded into SCCD via ITIC, describe the procedure to schedule this data loading so that scheduling of TADDM data mapping executions are completed.
Given that SCCD has been installed and the basic system data has been set up, TADDM set up, CI Types set up, discoveries are performed and activation of CI is completed, described tuning features so that the SCCD performance is maintained at required level.

Section 3: Configuation of Release Management
Given a Software Image in a IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager (TPM), TCM or RAM server and an Integration Module that has been configured to point to the server, import a Software Image CI into the Definitive Media Library from the remote server so that a software image CI exists in the DML repository and can be deployed within a release management process.
Given a software image CI exists in the DML that has been approved for distribution, and target computer system CIs have been imported from TADDM, deploy a Software Image to a set of targets as part of a Release Management process using TPM or TCM so that software has been installed on each of the target systems.

This intermediate level certification is intended for integration developers who are responsible for the successful development and deployment of integration solutions consistent with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). These integration solutions are developed in WebSphere Integration Developer using mediation modules and libraries targeted to run on WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus.

Working with mediation flows, interfaces and business objects, the developer builds integration solutions. For mediation modules and libraries, the integration developer creates mediation flows based on Service Component Architecture (SCA).

The integration developer promotes component and service reuse through effective use of business integration libraries, mediation modules, and through the creation and configuration of Service Component Architecture (SCA) imports and exports. The developer needs a basic knowledge of adapters to integrate with Enterprise Information Systems (EIS).

During development and deployment, the integration developer may work closely with business analysts, application developers, system administrators and application administrators.
