Course Description

  • This IBM MQ V9 System Administration (using Windows for labs) course provides technical professionals with the skills that are needed to administer IBM MQ queue managers on distributed operating systems and in the Cloud. In addition to the instructor-led lectures, you participate in hands-on lab exercises that are designed to reinforce lecture content. The lab exercises use IBM MQ V9.0, giving you practical experience with tasks such as handling queue recovery, implementing security, and problem determination.

    Note: This course does not cover any of the features of MQ for z/OS or MQ for IBM i.
