Course Description

  • This course is also available as self-paced virtual (e-learning) course IBM MQ V9 Application Development (Windows Labs) (ZM513G). This option does not require any travel.

    This course helps you develop the skills that are necessary to implement various application requirements on IBM MQ versions up to and including IBM MQ V9.0.2. It focuses on procedural application development for IBM MQ.

    The course begins by describing IBM MQ and the effect of design and development choices in the IBM MQ environment. It then covers IBM MQ application programming topics such as methods of putting and getting messages, identifying code that creates queue manager affinities, working with transactions, and uses of the publish/subscribe messaging style.

    Finally, the course describes the IBM MQ Light interface, introduces Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP), and explains how to set up an AMQP channel and how to interface with IBM MQ Light.

    Hands-on exercises throughout the course reinforce the lecture material and give you experience with IBM MQ clients.

Objectives

  • Describe key IBM MQ components and processes
  • Explain the effect of design and development choices in the IBM MQ environment
  • Describe common queue attributes and how to control these attributes in an application
  • Differentiate between point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging styles
  • Describe the calls, structures, and elementary data types that compose the message queue interface
  • Describe how IBM MQ determines the queue where messages are placed
  • Explain how to code a program to get messages by either browsing or removing the message from the queue
