Course description
This 3-day instructor-led intermediate course teaches technical professionals how to design and write business programs using WebSphere MQ.
In this course, learn how to issue calls that utilize the WebSphere MQ API (MQI), and how to code and use calls to perform various functions, such as opening and closing queues and putting messages on or retrieving messages from a queue. Also learn other important topics such as controlling message retrieval, writing programs that change queue attributes, handling MQI security, and managing message channels.
Hands-on lab exercises gives you the opportunity to practice coding WebSphere MQ calls in either COBOL or C using WebSphere MQ V7.
This course can also helps you prepare for certification as a WebSphere MQ solutions designer.
You may elect to perform lab exercises under Windows, AIX, or z/OS by enrolling in one of the following equivalent course codes:
IBM WebSphere MQ V7 Application Development (Windows Labs) (WM501) or (VM501)
IBM WebSphere MQ V7 Application Development (AIX Labs) (WM502) or (VM502)
IBM WebSphere MQ V7 Application Development (z/OS Labs) (WM503) or (VM503)
Those who would like to learn how to design and develop WebSphere MQ V7 publish/subscribe applications should take course WebSphere MQ V7 Publish/Subscribe Implementation (WM510) or (VM510)
Audience:.
This is an intermediate course designed for experienced business application programmers who need to develop applications that use the messaging and queuing techniques supported by the WebSphere MQ API (MQI).
Learning objectives:
Describe and use the MQI
Design and write programs that use the MQI as implemented on Windows, AIX, or z/OS
Explain the differences in program design necessitated by the messaging and queuing paradigm
Describe MQI calls in detail
Explain the differences in using the MQI across the different WebSphere MQ platforms
Design and write programs that use the following advanced features of the MQI:
Security
Message groups and segmentation
Distribution lists
:: WM501MY ::
Prerequisites: You Should:
Complete course Technical Introduction to WebSphere MQ (WM100) or (VM100)
