Introduction to Application Programming with WebSphere MQ

A general knowledge of application programming and design is required.

Development will be performed using a Distributed Platform - normally Windows; IBM Mainframe and CICS and/or TSO Batch. The following will be included in the training:

• messaging concepts


• WebSphere MQ introduction


• queues and messages


• command sets


• control commands
• MQ script commands


• WebSphere MQ explorer


• z/OS operating and control panels


• Cics adapter control panels


• Csqutil mq utility proram
• programming with MQI


• Data types


• Structures


• MQCONN call


• MQCONNX call


• MQOPEN call
• MQCLOSE call


• MQDISC call


• MQPUT call


• MQGET call


• MQPUT1 call
• remote queuing


• controlling message retrieval


• transaction support


• triggering processing


• MQI security
• MQINQ call


• MQSET call


• message group and segmentation

Demonstration sessions and practicals make up a large part of the course, allowing delegates to reinforce the lectures given. During these sessions the delegate will gain experience of WebSphere MQ, specifically MQI.

Examples are used extensively, ranging from simple code snippets to full applications with complete 'real world' functionality. These are supplied at the start of the course and it is encouraged that the delegates execute and 'experiment' with these under the instructor's guidance as they are introduced.
These examples are available to take away, along with the delegate's own work.

The comprehensive Student Guide supplied is fully indexed serving as a useful reference tool long after the course has finished. Delegates will also be able to access a free help-line with technical questions relating to topics covered on the course.

Whilst covering the basics of WebSphere MQ, this course also aims to give an insight into the different WebSphere MQ queue managers. On completion of this course the student will be able to:

• Understand basic messaging concepts


• Understand queues and message management


• Understand transactions and transaction management


• Understand and use triggers


• Use the supplied WebSphere MQ programs to put and get Messages to Queues
• Understand MQI calls and the MQI Options


• Understand and use Queues and Message Attributes


• Understand Message Handling


• Understand the Message Queuing Interface
• Understand security within WebSphere MQ
