Requirements Prior to Actual Exam

The following must be completed at least 48 hours before your scheduled certification exam:

  • Provide Interviewer with login credentials for all your IE partitions used for the prerequisite courses.

  • Provide Interviewer with all IM instance names used during your training.

  • SFTP Server and login credentials.

  • Provide interview access to your IE Git projects.

  • Correct any issues or discrepancies identified by Interviewer.

  • Attend scheduled pre-exam meeting with Interviewer to review exam requirements.

  • Receive a satisfactory review on all submitted IE partitions, IM instances, Git projects, and routes.

  • Attend any/all meetings with Interviewer regarding prerequisite content review.

Environment preparation
Please note that you will be asked to demonstrate a knowledge of being able to compile and run the Template Routes locally using your IntelliJ environment. This means that you must be capable of using IntelliJ/Git to pull your IntegrationManager (IM) project from Git to your local machine, compile the code and establish at least 1 Route running locally on your PC.
To accomplish the above steps, you will require your local Maven environment to be properly prepared.
This preparation requires that you have an appropriate username/password to pass into the Maven setup. The process for acquiring the username/password (UN/PW) would be to reuse this IM UN/PW if one has already been assigned to a developer in your company. If no one in your company has such a UN/PW, you will need to submit a Help Desk ticket requesting this IM development UN/PW. When submitting the ticket, please reference the Knowledge Base (KB) pages:
