Introduction

This course replaces MQ251AGB. This four-day, instructor-led course teaches the intermediate skills required by an administrator of an IBM WebSphere MQ clustered environment. This course is essential for anyone responsible for the design and administration of WebSphere MQ solutions that include MQ clusters. Through lecture and labs, students learn how to set up simple clusters, design and set up a sophisticated cluster, manage clusters, perform full repository re-assignment, accomplish queue manager cluster removal, and use diagnostics to determine problems within an MQ cluster.

What you will learn

On completion you will be able to:

Set up a simple cluster and use administrative commands to manage an MQ cluster
Describe problems that may be encountered with MQ clusters, as well as tools and techniques for isolating these problems and explain the concepts of workload management
Define marooned messages and discuss alternatives for handling them
Describe security, recovery, and failover considerations necessary when designing a cluster, as well as disaster planning and testing
Implement a complex MQ cluster including more than three queue managers
List the design considerations for a WebSphere MQ clustering solution, including the use of multiple overlapping clusters and techniques for dividing very large organizations of systems
Define the process to incorporate non-cluster WebSphere MQ queue managers into a cluster, including security considerations when using a gateway approach. Describe cluster workload exits

Who should attend

This is an intermediate course for technical professionals who need clustering administrator skills for any of the WebSphere MQ products. While this course is based on WebSphere MQ V6, it is also appropriate for people who support prior versions of WebSphere MQ clusters on distributed platforms.

Pre-requisites

Before taking this course, students should have practical experience in working with IBM WebSphere MQ, and complete any one of the following courses (or have equivalent experience):
