MQ on AWS: PoC of high availability using EFS

Arthur Barr Comments (2) Visits (14270)

Amazon recently declared its Elastic File System (EFS) as ready for production. This enables a shared, networked file system, which (importantly) is replicated between multiple physical data centers (availability zones). On paper, this makes EFS a good candidate for running MQ in a highly available way. In this blog entry, I'll take you through our proof of concept (PoC) of running a single IBM MQ queue manager which can be automatically moved between availability zones in the case of a failure. An EFS... [More]

An Introduction to WebSphere MQ queue manager processes (Version 6)

neekrish Visits (28458)

(Republished old entry after correcting the links to images) Author: Madhukar B V When a queue manager is created, you get a message something like this: Observe that 40 default objects are created when a queue manager is created. An MQ object can be a queue, a channel, a namelist, a listener (in WMQ v6.x), a process, etc. Most of these default objects act as templates for defining queue manager objects. For example, SYSTEM.DEFAULT.LOCAL.QUEUE is used as a template and its attributes are copied when a new local queue is defined using “DEFINE... [More]

Introducing the IBM Message Hub user interface

RichardPilot Visits (4693)

IBM Message Hub has gone GA and is now available on Bluemix. You can find out more about the service here . It's a great way to asynchronously connect applications and services in the cloud. I'll use this blog post to show off the user interface for this service. The Message Hub UI has been designed to give you an at a glance snapshot of your Message Hub instance and is intended to be something simple that can used to view the list of topics including the current status of all deletion operations. You can also create and delete... [More]

MQ support for MQ Light and AMQP 1.0 released in 8.0.0.4

Matthew Whitehead Comments (15) Visits (15102)

Support for MQ Light and AMQP 1.0 clients connecting to MQ queue managers has been released. The support is included in the new MQ 8.0.0.4 fixpack. To install the new AMQP function you will need to install the full version of MQ 8.0.0.4 from Passport Advantage rather than adding fixpack 4 to an existing MQ 8 installation. This is because the AMQP service is a new optional install component which has required updates to the MQ installers. The MQ Advanced for Developers download ( available here ) has also... [More]

OPMODE in MQ V9 CD for z/OS

gwydiontudur Visits (1579)

I recently wrote about how OPMODE works in the Long Term Service (LTS) release of MQ V9 on z/OS, and the differences compared to previous versions of MQ. The operation of OPMODE is quite different again in the Continuous Delivery (CD) releases of MQ V9, and that’s what I want to describe now. So what’s different? From V9, MQ has moved a continuous delivery support model. This means that in addition to the LTS release for installations where only defect fixes are required,... [More]

The interaction of CHLAUTH and CONNAUTH in IBM MQ

Mark_P_Wilson Visits (4797)

This article explains the interaction between channel authentication records (CHLAUTH) and connection authentication (CONNAUTH) in IBM MQ. When an application connects to MQ using client bindings, network connections have to be opened up which can have security implications. In the last few MQ releases these have been addressed with the introduction of the CHLAUTH and CONNAUTH features. This is the first in a series of articles that will look at these features. This article will explain how they fit together when a receiving end of a channel is... [More]
