PLEASE NOTE: This course is also available as an Instructor Led Online Course, IBM WebSphere MQ V7: Designing and Architecting Clustering Solutions (Remote) (VM251). Please note this option does not require any travel.
In this four-day, instructor-led course, you will learn the intermediate skills that you need to administer an IBM WebSphere MQ clustered environment. This course is essential for anyone who is responsible for the design and administration of WebSphere MQ solutions that include WebSphere MQ clusters.
The course uses a combination of lectures and hands-on labs, starting with an overview of WebSphere MQ clustering and a lab in which you will create and test a simple queue manager cluster. The course continues by covering how to design and set up a sophisticated cluster, manage clusters, and perform full repository reassignment. You will also learn how to remove queue manager clusters and to use diagnostic tools to determine and resolve problems within a WebSphere MQ cluster.
The lab environment for this course uses the Windows XP Professional SP3 platform.
