Communication Server

Course Objective:

The purpose of SimCorp Dimension Communication Server course is to give the participants basic knowledge of SimCorp Dimension connectivity with particular focus on the Communication Server and the interaction between the Communication Server and the transaction flow in SimCorp Dimension.

By the end of the course participants should be able to set up from scratch a simple Communication Server solution, to import a data file into SimCorp Dimension, to export a data file from SimCorp Dimension, and be able to set up a transaction flow that triggers a Communication Server via Auxiliary Status Jobs.

Finally, the participants will be presented to specific port types, advanced SCD Gateway commands, and best practices for Communication Server solution designs and scalability.

The course will be a mixture of theory, SimCorp Dimension presentations, and hands-on exercises.
