WA1044 WebSphere MQ Application Programming for Distributed Platforms Training and Courseware

Quick Enroll

This three day course teaches students how to develop business applications using the IBM MQI for procedural programming languages.

Topics
	Preparing and writing MQSeries application programs Basic MQI calls Triggering Message Properties Data conversion Coordination of units of work Minor MQI calls Message groups and Segmented Messages Distribution Lists MQ Security JMS Programming concepts

Practical work
	The labs include extensive hands-on MQI coding exercises for procedural languages (C, COBOL) as well as basic administration tasks on UNIX and Windows platforms.

What you will learn
	After completing this course, the student should be able to: Describe and use the MQI Design and write programs to use MQI as implemented on the chosen platform Explain the differences in program design necessitated by the messaging and queuing paradigm Describe, in detail, the different MQI calls Explain the differences in MQI across the different WebSphere MQ platforms

Audience
	This course is ideal for developers responsible for integrating various systems using WebSphere MQ.

Prerequisites
	WA1043 Technical Introduction to WebSphere MQ Programming experience using procedural languages (Cobol, C, PLI, …)

Duration
	Three days.

MQI AND TRIGGERING
	TRIGGERING Definition Triggering Processing Sequence Queue attributes controlling triggering Process attributes Trigger message (MQTM) Triggering COBOL EXAMPLE – PGMTRIG1 Trigger Monitors CICS Based Trigger

MESSAGE PROPERTIES
	USING MESSAGE PRIORITY MESSAGE TYPES – Datagrams MESSAGE TYPES – Request messages MESSAGE TYPES – Report messages MESSAGE TYPES – Request/Reply/Report messages MESSAGE TYPES – **Sample Message descriptor** MESSAGE TYPES – COBOL EXAMPLE - REPLYPGM MESSAGE TYPES – COBOL EXAMPLE - REQPGM MQGET Message and Correlation identifiers MSGID and CORRELID – Correllate request message with the reply MSGID and CORRELID – SCENARIO USE OF MSGID / CORRELID Pseudo Code MSGID and CORRELID Reply/Report messages with CorrelId Passing MSGID and CORRELID Pass MSGID and CORRELID Pseudo Code USING MSGID / CORRELID on MQGET MSGID and CORRELID – use Match Options
