IBM MQ Clustering - design & administration

This new, three-day course from RSM describes and explains how to design, set up and administer effective IBM MQ clustering.
A significant feature of this course is the time devoted to extensive practical exercises. The exercises are conducted in a Windows environment, but the principles learned are relevant to all MQ implementations, including z/OS.

On successful completion of this course you will be able to:

  • explain clustering terminology and basic clustering concepts
  • describe how a cluster works
  • implement a cluster and perform common administrative tasks
  • recognise the symptoms of frequently encountered problems and solve them
  • evaluate and exploit the range of workload management options
  • use distributed queuing techniques to connect Queue Managers inside a cluster to Queue Managers outside a cluster
  • configure overlapping clusters
  • outline how clusters support distributed publish/subscribe
  • take steps to render a cluster secure
  • discuss clustering current best practices.
