Before you start
WebSphere® MQ Version 6.0 connects applications in a consistent, reliable, and easy-to-manage way, providing a trustworthy foundation for cross department, enterprise wide integration. Providing reliable once-and-only-once delivery of important messages and transactions, WebSphere MQ handles the complexities of communication protocols and dynamically distributes messaging workload across available resources. This series of five tutorials helps you prepare to take the IBM certification Test 996, IBM WebSphere MQ V6.0, Solution Design. This certification targets intermediate level designers who understand the concepts of asynchronous messaging and can plan, architect, and design solutions based on WebSphere MQ.
This tutorial covers additional topics of the MQI not covered in the previous tutorial, including MQINQ, MQSET, transaction support, triggering, MQI security, message groups and segmentation, and distribution lists. This tutorial concludes the series.
After completing this tutorial, you will be familiar with:
- MQINQ verb
- MQSET verb
- Transaction support
- Triggering
- Message groups and segmentation
- Distribution lists
This tutorial is written for developers and architects with intermediate experience in application and solution design and implementation. It assumes intermediate knowledge and skills in the following:
- Transaction management and database products
- Systems management
- Basic programming concepts
- Data communications and networking
- Information technology security concepts
The examples in this tutorial were developed with WebSphere MQ V6.0 for Windows® and Rational® Application Developer V6.0 for Windows.
