The C9510-669 certification targets SOA architects and integration developers by validating expertise in designing service-oriented architectures through IBM WebSphere and Tivoli product suites. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in modeling business processes using WebSphere Business Modeler and implementing service mediation via WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus. The assessment requires deep technical understanding of XML, WSDL, SOAP, and UDDI protocols within the framework of the Service Component Architecture. Mastery of WebSphere Process Server for orchestrating BPEL workflows and managing policy enforcement through WebSphere Service Registry and Repository remains essential. Proficiency in governing service lifecycles and deploying scalable enterprise integration patterns is critical.
