• Using the Dead Letter Queue (DLQ) Handler in WebSphere MQ

  Websphere MQ provides the DLQ Handler Utility to process undelivered messages, and it can be implemented as a server service object, or triggered whenever a message appears on the DLQ. This article shows you how to implement it both ways.

• Creating a cloud to consume WebSphere MQ messages using IBM Workload Deployer and WebSphere TX

  Learn how to use IBM Workload Deployer and WebSphere Transformation Extender with Launcher Hypervisor Edition to develop a cloud-based system that can dynamically scale to meet volume and reliability requirements when reading a WebSphere MQ queue.

• A parallel processing web service with service facade pattern and aggregation nodes

  Aggregation nodes fan out an input message to MQ requests that can be processed asynchronously, then fan in the multiple responses to a single consolidated response. The service facade pattern provides a single web service interface decoupled from MQ services, enabling you to build a parallel synchronous web service.

• Choosing a messaging system: WebSphere MQ vs. WebSphere Application Server SI Bus

  This article compares the WebSphere MQ messaging system to the Service Integration Bus (SIBus) built into WebSphere Application Server. The article highlights factors that can help you make an informed decision about your messaging system and JMS provider.

• Processing messages with the WebSphere Application Server V7 and V8 WebSphere MQ messaging provider activation specifications

  This article describes the WebSphere MQ messaging provider activation specifications in WebSphere Application Server V7 and V8, and the mechanisms they use to connect to WebSphere MQ queue managers and monitor destinations for messages.

• Integrating WebSphere MQ services with WSRR (two-part article series)

  In an SOA environment, managing WebSphere MQ resources can be problematic without standards and tools for governance. Part 1 describes the WebSphere MQ service metadata catalogued in WSRR. In Part 2, you create a Business Space for populating a graphical view of MQ business objects and their dependent services in order to do impact analysis.

• Web services with SOAP over JMS in WebSphere Process Server or WebSphere ESB V7 using WebSphere MQ JMS provider

  Learn how to change the referenced JNDI resources of SOAP over JMS exports and imports so that they can receive and send SOAP messages using the WebSphere MQ JMS provider rather than the SIBus JMS provider.

• Customizing WebSphere MQ V7 for small and medium businesses

  Learn how to deal with common challenges when implementing WebSphere MQ solutions at SMBs. The lack of robust infrastructures at many SMBs requires you to plan for network downtime and slower connection speeds between central and branch servers.

• Configuring multi-instance brokers for high availability in WebSphere Message Broker V7

  This article describes the active-active technique for high availability using both vertical and horizontal clustering, which compared to the active-passive technique, improves availability, performance, and scalability of WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker.

• Creating a multi-instance queue manager for WebSphere MQ on UNIX

  Learn how to use WebSphere MQ V7 to create a multi-instance queue manager on UNIX and then run a sample program to check client connectivity.

• Building a highly available business events infrastructure with WebSphere MQ

  This article shows you how to create a highly available business events architecture using WebSphere Application Server with WebSphere Business Events and WebSphere MQ.

• Easing administration and debugging of WebSphere MQ with circular queues

  Normally, when a queue fills up, it stops accepting messages, but in some cases you may want new messages to push the oldest ones off the queue. This article shows you how to do this using WebSphere MQ, SupportPac MA01, and some glue code written in Perl.

• DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition, Part 2: Federation with WebSphere MQ

  This series highlights DB2 Advanced Enterprise Server Edition (AESE) for Linux, UNIX, and Windows (LUW), which includes DB2 Enterprise Server Edition V9.7 with optimization, plus a complete set of development and management tools, providing a single integrated solution for managing your entire DB2 environment without adding complexity.

• Using WebSphere MQ Telemetry and Pachube to connect to remote sensors and devices

  MQ Telemetry and Pachube both offer excellent facilities for aggregating data from sensor networks into a common API, but there is no easy way to integrate the two technologies. This article shows you how to use MQ Telemetry to bridge the two networks and share data.

• Message binding in WebSphere Process Server V7 to connect to WebSphere MQ

  WebSphere Application Server V7 introduced the MQ JMS J2C resource adapter for connecting to WebSphere MQ, which enhanced the message binding components in WebSphere Process Server. This article shows you how to use those enhancements.

• Integrating WebSphere Business Events with WebSphere MQ Low Latency Messaging

  You can integrate the event pattern recognition of WebSphere Business Events with the high-volume, low-latency messaging of WebSphere MQ LLM to create compelling solutions for situations that require both capabilities.

• IBM Industry Application Platform with WebSphere MQ on Amazon cloud

  This Amazon Machine Image combines DB2 Express-C, WebSphere Application Server, and WebSphere MQ in a fully configured software stack that helps you develop SOA applications that can include a database, J2EE, XML, Web 2.0, and reliable MQ messaging.

• Getting started with WebSphere MQ for z/OS security

  This intro to WebSphere MQ for z/OS security will be helpful for those who are familiar with z/OS but not with WebSphere MQ, and for those who are familiar with WebSphere MQ and would like to understand how to secure it on z/OS.

• Comparing WebSphere MQ security on distributed platforms and z/OS

  How security is implemented and what it can protect differ greatly between distributed platforms and z/OS, so an understanding of these differences is essential for architects, administrators, and developers who may need to work across platforms.

• End-to-end encryption with WebSphere MQ Advanced Message Security

  Finer-grained security at the message level can help achieve regulatory compliance and more, and it's available with Advanced Message Security.

• One-to-many file transfers using WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition (FTE)

  Learn how to set up WebSphere MQ FTE to perform one-to-many transfers using the queue monitoring, file-to-message, and message-to-file functions, all of which are new in V7.0.3.

• Resource monitoring in WebSphere MQ FTE

  Examples show you how to use the WebSphere MQ FTE resource monitoring function.

• Setting up a test scenario for WebSphere MQ FTE

  Learn how to set up and configure a simple WebSphere MQ FTE scenario that shows how its secure file transfer capabilities solve the security and reliability issues that many customers encounter with FTP. The scenario involves two Windows machines and demonstrates queues, queue managers, channels, agents, commands, and coordinators.

• Using a Windows service to start WebSphere MQ FTE client agents

  Replacing desktop FTP clients with WebSphere MQ FTE is great for enterprise visibility of file transfers, but what if the client agent needs to run on a server instead?

• Configuring WebSphere MQ FTE agents for high availability with Microsoft Cluster Server

  Learn four different ways to configure FTE agents for high availability using Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) in an active/standby configuration.
