WebSphere MQ - Operational Reality

SYS-ED staff and Computer Education Techniques Technology Partners have first generation and longstanding experience in coding WebSphere MQ applications in IBM mainframe environments with WAS, WASD, and Rational and other commercial web server and development platforms. This experience provides a privileged perspective from which to report the following observations:

1.	Sixty percent of the WebSphere MQ application development has been with the COBOL programming language; thirty five percent with Java, and the remaining five percent with a legacy programming language.
2.	WebSphere MQ applications also have been using CICS Transaction Server as the process server to MQ trigger technology.
3.	Increasingly, JMS is being used to program WebSphere MQ applications. IBM has Publish-and-subscribe integrated into the runtime and configuration environment. WebSphere MQ, optimizes the throughput of publish-and-subscribe messaging. Publish-and-subscribe services have been integrated into the queue manager, removing the need to queue publications twice between the queue manager and the previously independent publish-and-subscribe component. By optimizing message logging for persistent publish-and-subscribe messaging, throughput can significantly be improved by up to 20%.
4.	The clustering capabilities that WebSphere MQ supports for dynamically distributing messaging workloads throughout available MQ resources are also being progressively used.

Additional observations and questions on WebSphere MQ have been documented in the CETi knowledge base.

Our standard policy is to provide a tailored course outline, student hand-out and incorporate the client sample programs into the hands-on exercises. The course can be delivered as an instructor-led course with a subject matter expert at the client location with a class size of 3 - 6 students with a distance-learning option. This affords employees located in remote locations to attend the training without having to travel to the training facility.

After the training is complete, we provide IT management with guidelines and recommendations in writing.

Qualifying Training Request

MS .NET and WebSphere MQ Training

The client is a cable TV shopping channel production company with over 50 million viewers daily. The web site was added to its operational information technology responsibilities in order to meet customer demands for easy access to products. They also need to anticipate and plan for the future processing requirement of the TV group.

As part of the WebSphere MQ administrative course, they need to construct a Windows 2003 cluster and load WebSphere MQ onto that cluster. The instances of MQ, active and passive nodes, would be using shared storage in a SAN for the queue manager message store. The training would need to address both setup and other issues related to running WebSphere in this scenario and recovery of the MQ in the event of failure. The servers along with the queue manager that have been created would be used in the tailored programming courses. The coding will be done in C# using the .NET classes for WebSphere MQ provided by IBM.

Given our multiplatform experience with .NET and WebSphere, SYS-ED politely declined this assignment and provided a professional assessment on the state of the software and the operational issues that would have to be addressed in order to meet the strategic operational objectives. SYS-ED staff and CETi technology partners have been leading edge system designers, coders, implementers of the .NET development platform in hybrid WebSphere MQ environments. The evolution and integration of the software is reflected both in our knowledge base.

Java and WebSphere MQ Training

The client requires application development training with WebSphere MQ.

Java is the programming language.
RAD 7 is the Windows framework for the development environment.
WebSphere MQ version 6 is being used and will be upgraded to version 7.
The communication will be primarily with MQ using EJB's.
JMS and MQ Class Libraries are being utilized.

Accordingly, the examples and hands-on workshops will need to be tailored. This is a relatively straightforward educational consultancy and we look forward to the challenge and opportunity to provide the training.
