IBM WebSphere MQ Middleware

WebSphere MQ is the industry leading middleware and message queuing infrastructure. MQSeries middleware predates IBM's WebSphere and Rational software. Renamed WebSphere MQ and rebranded as part of the IBM WebSphere family of software, it provides the capability for developing industry and organizational specific applications. WebSphere MQ middleware is strategic software used by Fortune 1000 companies to leverage IBM system software and development platforms - WebSphere software, CICS Transaction Server, DB2 UDB, IMS, and open source XML and Java. The other major commercial software companies, primarily Oracle Corporation with its Oracle Roadmap and WebLogic and open source software, also interoperate with WebSphere MQ.

MQI is the core API provided by WebSphere MQ. The MQI defines structures, constants, and data types required to interact with WebSphere MQ. The COBOL, C language, and procedural languages utilize MQI directly. Java, C++ and object oriented languages are supported with object-oriented APIs built upon MQI.

SOA: Service Oriented Architecture incorporates an established set of practices which is becoming increasingly mainstream. IBM has applied a comprehensive approach to implementing application-based middleware frameworks and reusable SOA architecture. WebSphere MQ provides a secure maintainable transport for messages. With organizational enterprise increasingly implementing Service Oriented Architecture, the role and importance of WebSphere MQ middleware in routing and transporting messages is growing. SYS-ED continues to evaluate IBM, Oracle, and third party white papers on application modernization and incorporating legacy systems into a new architecture.


Strategic Middleware and IBM DB2

Middleware is an essential component in the development of N-Tier client/server systems. Middleware resides between the client and server and converts data and allows diverse systems to transmit and receive data with one another. Reliable middleware software has enabled the upward migration of companies to enterprise-wide computing. Middleware begins with an API on the client that can invoke services remotely. It handles the transmission of the request and the resultant response. In most cases will not provide an actual service such as an interface or server process. Middleware categories include TP: transaction processing monitors, application partitioning tools, database middleware, RPCs: Remote Procedure Calls, MOM: Message Oriented Middleware, and ORB: Object Request Brokers. 

IBM DB2 provides facilities which directly invoke WebSphere MQ calls. A set of WebSphere MQ functions allow DB2 SQL statements to include messaging operations. Applications written in a supported language can use any of the database interfaces. SQL from other programming languages can be used in the standard way. All of the WebSphere MQ messaging styles are supported. WebSphere MQ and DB2 message and database operations are combined in a single unit of work as an atomic transaction. Clients can be local to the database server or distributed in a network environment. A basic configuration will have WebSphere MQ and DB2 located on the same server. The WebSphere MQ functions are included with DB2 version 9 and higher and provide access to the WebSphere MQ server. DB2 clients can be located on any machine accessible to the DB2 server. Multiple clients can concurrently access the WebSphere MQ functions through the database. The provided functions allow DB2 clients to perform messaging operations within SQL statements. These messaging operations allow DB2 applications to communicate among themselves or with other WebSphere MQ applications.  


SYS-ED Approach to WebSphere MQ Training

SYS-ED WebSphere MQ courses - Concepts, Administration, and Application Programming range in duration from 3 to 5 days and highlight the guidance and tips not readily discernible from IBM documentation. Our WebSphere MQ curriculum consists of industry standard and advanced consultancy derived courses.

SYS-ED WebSphere MQ courses teach how to:
 
  • Implement integration in a multi-platform environment.
  • Queue messages when servers are not available.
  • Utilize adapters for connecting WebSphere MQ to different operating environments.
  • Support persistent and shared queues.
  • Configure workload balancing and support clusters.
  • Develop programs with the WebSphere MQ library or JMS.

SYS-ED staff and CETi Technology Partners average 30+ years experience with IBM mainframe system software and have been implementing and coding WebSphere MQ applications since its initial release.

SYS-ED WebSphere MQ courses and mainframe training services are highly regarded by IBM developers and referred to IBM clients. Our courses and software specific websites have been designed to add value-added service to IBM's SOA and cloud computing initiatives.

1- Delivery of content through multiple delivery medium as part of a collaborative environment for integrating data at a business level.

2- Student hand-outs, reference guides, and validation assessment for training human resources that leverage existing investments in software infrastructure.

3- Application development accelerators in the form of industry and client-specific training aids, examples, templates, and data modeling.

4- Support services in the form of technology updates, knowledge base, answers to questions, and tailored documentation in hybrid and interrelated information technology.

SYS-ED's WebSphere MQ instructor-led and web-based courses are offered through our New York schedule. Only employees sponsored by Fortune 1000 corporations, government municipalities, and healthcare providers are allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED course and only after a telephone consultation with our Director of Education. This is essential for ensuring that the individual be placed in the course which corresponds to the employer’s operational objectives, system software operating environment, version of WebSphere MQ, and development platform. We invite prospective client's to contact IBM and review their course outlines and performance objectives. And compare SYS-ED's training service with the WebSphere MQ training alternatives.

One-third of a student’s class time is spent hands-on coding, testing, and debugging WebSphere MQ applications. After a course is over, students are welcome to submit the inevitable questions which come up back on the job.


WebSphere MQ: Educational Consultancy

SYS-ED recognizes and differentiates between a course - such as WebSphere MQ (MQSeries) System Administration and WebSphere MQ (MQSeries): Application Programming versus educational consulting - such as WebSphere MQ Clustering - Design and Architecture and WebSphere MQ (MQSeries) Debugging Techniques on Distributed Platforms for Administrators.

SYS-ED’s WebSphere MQ training provides guidance and hands-on experience for making strategic decisions utilizing IBM’s middleware in a variety of configurations with mainframe system software, UNIX- and Linux- variants, and Microsoft Windows operating systems. Subject matter can be mixed and matched from multiple courses, inclusive of sample programs and tailored exercises. Case in point: several fast-track clients have had us conduct accelerated 5-day WebSphere MQ courses consisting of what is regularly 8 days of training. It is standard SYS-ED policy to incorporate project specifications into our integrated training programs: Java and WebSphere MQ, Oracle and WebSphere MQ, and Microsoft .NET and WebSphere MQ.

SYS-ED's longstanding experience with IBM IMS, CICS Transaction Server, and VSAM system software provides us with a privileged perspective from which to demonstrate and teach platform migration. Members of our staff are recognized experts on DB2 UDB and WebSphere MQ. It is standard policy for SYS-ED to tailor our WebSphere and Rational training programs to include project specifications and client-specific exercises.

SYS-ED will not accept an assignment until our Director of Education confers with the prospective client and reviews the lesson plan, examples, and exercises. And this information will be provided in writing as part of a lesson plan.

SYS-ED WebSphere MQ courseware and training aids extend the source documentation and incorporate a purposeful examination of the underlying architecture, program logic, and sample programs validated on consulting projects. Given the intermixing and hybrid implementations of open standards with IBM software, in our opinion courseware which “explains and demonstrates” is fundamental to an learning experience.

Upon completion of a SYS-ED instructor-led course at the client location, it is standard policy to organize content for future utilization in a web-based training infrastructure.

Industry Standard WebSphere MQ Courses

WebSphere MQ Clients
SYS-ED’s WebSphere MQ courses have been developed based upon the application of adult learning theory and the standards of the New York State Department of Education. It extends the IBM subject matter and incorporates our own consultancy derived examples and guidelines.

  • Migrating and upgrading applications to the emerging service oriented architecture standard.
  • Examine application architecture and code and how it maps to the business and information technology infrastructure.
  • Explanation of the protocols serving as the foundation of web services and its utilization with COBOL and Java.
  • Evaluate the integrity of a client's existing inventory of applications as part of preparing for modernization.

When SYS-ED can not warranty a superior training outcome, then we will politely turn down an assignment.

SYS-ED has been conducting courses in the public domain since 1980; however, there have been changes in the laws and regulations governing computer training in the state of New York. The schedule on our websites reflects a projected time frame for licensure with the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision and submission and approval of curriculum. It will be updated quarterly.

Professional Distance-learning Service

Definition of Service

New York State Department of Education Standards
SYS-ED's distance-learning training service is 65% lecture with the remaining 35% of the service provided in the form of scheduled interactive question and answer sessions with a subject matter expert, hands-on exercises, optional validation assessment, and submission of questions through our technology exchange websites.

Enrollment is contingent upon the prospective trainee's having been qualified by our Director of Education to have the appropriate background for the training and review of a checklist of items required for transmission of the service to the client location: bandwidth, firewall, base operating system, software requirements, web browser, and set-up of hands-on machine exercises.

Alternative web-based and e-learning training is available: self-paced, presentation through the client's authoring system, or podcast. These tailored services are offered selectively.


Training Programs: IBM Mainframe Environment

SYS-ED offers tailored entry-level and fast-track mainframe training programs.

Standard entry-level training programs consist of four components: z/OS operating system, programming skills, programming language, and system software. These programs have been developed and refined over a quarter century of consultancy and teaching and draw upon the SYS-ED courseware library.
Tailored fast-track programs are comprised of course modules selected by the client organization: topics, examples, workshops, validation assessments, and duration. Many clients also elect to incorporate an educational consulting component which reflects their standards and implementation strategy for project development.

Private client-site mainframe training programs are supported with a courseware as learning center delivery medium.


Three major issues will have to be evaluated in relation to mainframe information technology training in the 21st century:

1. The degree of web-based access to mainframe data which will be allowed and the critical issue of issue of security.
2. The appropriate strategic mix of commercial and open source software.
3. How much of the mainframe development should be contracted outside of the United States, be performed by consultants based in the United States as compared to having full-time salaried employees perform the work.

WebSphere MQ Courses
SYS-ED's WebSphere MQ courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging hands-on WebSphere MQ training provides a foundation and framework for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, software houses, and consulting companies to train their own staff and acquire specialized interrelated expertise in information technology.

Courseware
SYS-ED's WebSphere MQ courseware is highly respected. We draw upon our extensive library of courseware, sample programs and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and teach industry standard and consultancy derived WebSphere MQ courses. Our WebSphere MQ curriculum includes the new development environments and expanded featureset. We have the capability to provide programming examples and guidelines across a comprehensive range of base operating platforms: mainframe, Linux- and UNIX- variant, MS Windows, and hybrid internetworking implementations.

Teaching is Our Business
Most computer training companies are divisions of large software or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our only goal is to provide quality computer training for  motivated professionals. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching - and since 1980 we have been doing it very well.

Our Teachers Know How to Teach
SYS-ED instructors combine teaching skills with broad practical experience as consultants. Our system consultants have been working with MQSeries since its initial release and equally as important average 30 years of experience in enterprise information technology: operating systems, administration, and programming. And they know how to teach it. We teach not only "how to", but "why", providing insights into advanced subject matter. After a course, students are welcome to ask questions back on the job.

Enrollment - SYS-ED WebSphere MQ Courses are not for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED WebSphere MQ course, without a consultation with our Director of Education. We review the operational objectives and project specifications for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training. The employee only is allowed to register if they have the background corresponding to the appropriate learning path: WebSphere MQ, WebSphere, or mainframe web enablement.

WebSphere MQ Training in New York, at Your Office, or via the Web
SYS-ED WebSphere MQ courses are held at our training center in Manhattan and in conjunction with CETi Technology Partners in North America and Europe. If you prefer, we'll arrange tailored WebSphere MQ training on-site at your organization’s facilities inclusive of mobile computer classroom set-up. On-site courses can include the identical workshops as the WebSphere MQ training we offer in New York.
