OS/390 Introduction to MQ Series
This course teaches the fundamentals of IBM MQSeries messaging technology with emphasis on the OS/390 platform. Learn how to use MQSeries as a middleware solution for applications running across networks consisting of diverse platforms. Learn about the benefits of messaging and queuing. The course discusses various types of MQSeries objects including queues and queue managers, namelists, process definitions, channels and storage classes, message groups, priorities, and persistence. Learn how programs can open a queue, put and get messages, commit and back put units of work. Learn about triggering, and about challenges to OS/390 MQSeries such as the MQSeries-IMS/CICS bridge applications.
Introduction to MQ Series training covers such topics as:
An Introduction to Messaging and Queuing
MQI and MQSeries Objects
Using MQI Calls (Part I)
Using MQI Calls (Part II)
MQI Program Examples
This course is designed for programmers, developers, and systems analysts who
intend to write applications utilizing MQSeries middleware technology under
the OS/390 environment
OS/390 Introduction to MQ Series Everything OS/390
Description
This course teaches the fundamentals of using IBM MQSeries messaging technology
with specific emphasis towards its use on the OS/390 platform. It begins by
describing challenge fundamental to applications running across networks consisting
of diverse platforms, then proposes MQSeries as the key middleware solution.
The benefits of messaging and queuing are explored. Additional problematic
applications scenarios are discussed, and MQSeries is shown to be an effective
solution to each. Various types of MQSeries objects are discussed including
queues and queue managers, namelists, process definitions, channels and storage
classes, message groups, priorities, and persistence. The Message Queue Interface
(MQI) is examined in depth and all-important calls are covered. The student
learns how programs can open a queue, put and get messages, commit and back
put units of work. The fundamentals of using of triggering is examined, and
the course concludes with some topics challenges to OS/390 MQSeries applications
such as MQSeries-IMS/CICS bridge applications, and the stub programs required
for compilation of programs. This course is written to OS/390 2.x.
Audience
This course is designed for programmers, developers, and systems analysts who
intend to write applications utilizing MQSeries middleware technology under
the OS/390 environment.
