IBM MQ V9 : Conception, Implémentation et Gestion des Clusters

This course prepares you to plan, design, configure, and administer IBM MQ clusters.

After a review of IBM MQ, the course explains the similarities and differences between administration of a cluster and administration of a distributed message IBM MQ environment. You learn cluster specific commands and procedures, and explore the role of a cluster in a highly available IBM MQ infrastructure. You learn how to do a detailed verification of a new cluster configuration, review and identify all resulting components, and troubleshoot problems.

You also learn about cluster administration, workload balancing, security, and use of publish/subscribe clusters. You learn how to recognize when a problem is due to connection authentication, channel authentication, or object authorizations. You also learn about design options such as overlapping clusters and use of clusters with z/OS queue sharing groups. Many of the considerations in this course are based on actual engagement experiences.

Upon completion this course, you will be able to :

• Describe the basic IBM MQ components
• Identify which IBM MQ objects are used to impact routing in a cluster environment
• Identify who in your organization can impact the health of a cluster and the need for adequate communication
• Describe the correct role of a cluster in a highly available IBM MQ infrastructure
• Describe the differences and similarities between administering clustered and non-clustered IBM MQ environments
• Describe how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot an IBM MQ cluster
• Identify the various channels that are present in a cluster environment and how each is created
• Describe how to use separate transmission queues in a clustered queue manager
• Explain how to remove a queue manager from a cluster on a permanent or temporary basis
• Explain IBM MQ connection authentication
• Explain IBM MQ channel authentication
• Describe IBM MQ object authorizations
• Explain how to troubleshoot security challenges in a cluster
• List ways to influence workload balancing in a cluster
• Describe the history and basic components of IBM MQ publish/subscribe
• Explain the considerations and details of implementing publish/subscribe in an IBM MQ clustered environment
• Describe cluster design architectural considerations
• Summarize the benefits of design and configuration simplicity in a cluster implementation
• Explain how to configure overlapping clusters
