IBM MQ 9.3 information roadmap

This roadmap provides two sets of maps that help you navigate particular aspects of IBM® MQ 9.3. There is a map for each product-level task (for example Installing; Securing; Configuring; Troubleshooting), and a map for each product feature (for example Managed File Transfer; Internet Pass-Thru; Aspera gateway).

Category	Information resources
About IBM MQ	Overview of the overall purpose, capabilities, and new features of IBM MQ. About IBM MQ Introductory information to help you get started with IBM MQ 9.3, including an introduction to the product and an overview of what is new and what is changed for this version of the product. Learning path: IBM MQ Developer Essentials Badge on the IBM Developer website Tutorials to help you get started with IBM MQ. IBM MQ product web page Product web page with links to resources and additional information. IBM MQ system requirements Web page with links to the system requirements for the different releases of IBM MQ.

Technical overview	Technical overview Information to help you to find out about message queuing and other features that IBM MQ provides.
Scenarios	Each scenario takes you through a significant set of tasks, and helps you to configure a major product feature. The scenarios include useful links to other content to help you to gain a better understanding of the area in which you are interested. The Getting started scenario explains how to get started with IBM MQ. Use this scenario if you have not used IBM MQ before and want to get started quickly. Further scenarios help you to configure or use product features by taking you through the appropriate task steps.
Planning	Planning When planning your IBM MQ environment, consider the support that IBM MQ provides for single and multiple queue manager architectures, and for point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging styles. Also plan your resource requirements, and your use of logging and backup facilities.
Migrating and upgrading	Maintaining and migrating Migration is the process of updating queue managers, and other objects, such as applications or administrative procedures. To migrate a queue manager to run on a new level of code, you must first upgrade IBM MQ to install the new code level. When you have verified that the upgrade is successful, migrate the queue manager and all the applications and resources that are associated with it. Before you start this process, create a migration plan, based on the information in this documentation. IBM WebSphere® MQ / IBM MQ Migration Guide This guide provides information to help you plan the process of migrating from an older version to a new version of IBM MQ for Multiplatforms. You can either view the guide in your web browser or download it as a PDF file. IBM WebSphere MQ / IBM MQ for z/OS Migration Guide This guide provides information to help you plan the process of migrating from an older version to a new version on z/OS. You can either view the guide in your web browser or download it as a PDF file.
Installing	Installing and uninstalling Information to help you to prepare for installation, install the product, and verify the installation. There is also information to help you to uninstall the product.
Security	Securing Aspects of security to consider in your IBM MQ installation including identification and authentication, authorization, auditing, confidentiality, and data integrity.
Configuring	Configuring Create one or more queue managers on one or more computers, and configure them and their related resources on your development, test, and production systems to process messages that contain your business data.
Administering	Administering IBM MQ Administer your queue managers and associated resources.
Developing applications	Developing applications Develop applications to send and receive messages, and to manage your queue managers and related resources. IBM MQ support applications written in procedural languages, and object oriented languages and frameworks.
Monitoring and performance	Monitoring and performance Monitoring information and guidance to help improve the performance of your queue manager network and tuning tips to help improve the performance of your queue manager network.
Troubleshooting and support	Troubleshooting and support Techniques to help you diagnose and solve problems with your queue manager network or IBM MQ applications.
