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.
