This course focuses on advanced issues in WebSphere MQ communication when WebSphere MQ is running in a z/OS sysplex, such as the administration of the Queue Sharing Group function and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support for TCP/IP channels. Additional topics include channel exit programming and the statistic and accounting facilities provided with IBM WebSphere MQ for z/OS V7. The hands-on labs provided throughout the course enable students to gain practical experience working with advanced administration skills for WebSphere MQ V7 for z/OS. Topics covered include configuring security, defining Queue Sharing Groups, publish/subscribe administration, and gathering and analyzing statistics and accounting data for performance tuning.

    Target Audience:

    This is an advanced course, designed for technical professionals who require the skills to perform advanced administrator tasks for IBM WebSphere MQ for z/OS, or who provide support to others who perform such tasks.

    • Design the use of SSL for securing TCP/IP channels, and set up the appropriate security definitions as well as the WebSphere MQ objects to which they refer
    • Set up a queue sharing group (QSG) of queue managers in a z/OS sysplex environment and administer the QSG related resources, such as queues and channels
    • Use the statistics and accounting facilities provided with WebSphere MQ for z/OS to optimize the use of system resources
    • Describe what happens when channels are started and stopped and utilize the different options that are available for this purpose
    • Describe how channels synchronize and commit their units of work
    • Enable messages to flow between any two queue managers in a WebSphere MQ network through dedicated paths, as needed by network conditions or application requirements

    Prerequisites:

    Before taking this course, students should:

    • Have a working knowledge of WebSphere MQ V7 administration processes and procedures
    • Complete course IBM WebSphere MQ V7 System Administration for z/OS (WM300) or (VM300), or have the skills necessary to perform basic WebSphere MQ V7 administration tasks in a z/OS environment
