LinkWorks Solution Development and Deployment Course

OBJECTIVES

LinkWorks is a solution framework for the automation of document-based 
business processes.  
The solution developer can build powerful solutions to address
specific or generic document-based business requirements.  The amount of
configuration and programming that is required to build a solution is often
minimal.  However, determining the correct architecture for a robust and
scaleable solution may not always be a straightforward process.

This course will introduce the students to a structured way of designing
solutions with the use of an object-oriented methodology and a graphical CASE
tool. The use of examples and demonstrations will assist the students in
building their own solutions.

The course has also been designed to share the knowledge and experiences 
gained
during the development of various LinkWorks solutions. The knowledge gained
from the course may be used by the students as a basis for new solutions or
further enhancements to existing ones.


CONTENT

1. Using an object-oriented methodology (OMT) to build LinkWorks solutions
� Introduction to OMT
� Build  OMT models using a graphical CASE tool
� Use of LinkWorks classes in the design phase
2. Case study on OO Analysis and Design	
3. Integration of existing applications
� using multiple files
� using databases
� using middleware
4. Using the Internet with LinkWorks-based solutions
5. Sample LinkWorks solutions (in production or under construction)
� LinkWorks Query
� ISO 9000 solution
� Production Workflow
� criminal case handling
� fax integration

DURATION: 4 days


TARGET AUDIENCE

This course is targeted, primarily, at experienced LinkWorks solution
developers.  The students are encouraged to present and, if possible,
demonstrate a solution that they have provided or are currently providing to
their LinkWorks customers.  The presentation should outline the business
problem and how the solution was designed and implemented.


PREREQUISITES

To successfully complete this course, participants are required to be familiar
with the following:
� LinkWorks architecture
� LinkWorks Administration and Configuration tools
� LinkWorks programming mechanisms

                  7 - 18 April, 1997


        The LinkWorks Solution Developers University consists of
        three separate courses that will provide the student with 
        in-depth knowledge and skills to develop high quality LinkWorks 
        solutions. The courses have been organized to cater for 
        various levels of LinkWorks expertise. Students with little 
        or no LinkWorks experience must attend the first two courses.
        Experienced LinkWorks solution developers may wish to attend 
        only the last course. 

        The LinkWorks Implementation & Support course provides the
        student with an introduction to LinkWorks V3. The course has been 
        designed to teach the student how to install, customize and 
        perform configuration and administration tasks.

        The LinkWorks APO course has been designed to give the student 
        an overview of the programming capabilities of LinkWorks V3 
        to enable students to start developing LinkWorks solutions.

        The Advanced Development Workshop has been designed to share
        knowledge and experiences gained during the development of
        various LinkWorks solutions. The knowledge gained from the 
        workshop may be used by the students as a basis for new solutions
	or further enhancements.
