WebSphere MQ Application Programming with COBOL

Students will require a basic understanding of the concepts of WebSphere MQ message queuing and COBOL programming. These can be gained by attending courses MQ01 and BT05.

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.

Development will be performed using IBM Mainframe and CICS and/or TSO Batch. The course includes the following modules.

• MESSAGING CONCEPTS
• WEBSPHERE MQ INTRODUCTION
• QUEUES AND MESSAGES
• COMMAND SETS
• CONTROL COMMANDS
• MQ SCRIPT COMMANDS
• z/OS OPERATING AND CONTROL PANELS
• CICS and WEBSPHERE MQ
• 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
• TRIGGER PROCESSING
• MQI SECURITY
• MQINQ CALL
• MQSET CALL
• MESSAGE GROUP AND SEGMENTATION
• COMPLETION AND REASON CODES
• DEBUGGING MQ
• SAMPLE PROGRAMS
• COBOL RECORD STRUCTURES

Whilst covering the basics of WebSphere MQ, this course also aims to give an insight into the programming and issuing of calls to the Message Queuing Interface. On completion of this course the student will be able to:

• Understand basic messaging concepts


• Understand queues and message management


• Understand and use the supplied panels, utilities and programs in a batch and CICS environment to manipulate WebSphere MQ objects


• Understand and use the Message Queuing Interface


• Understand and use Message Handling
• Understand and use Queue and Message Attributes


• Understand and use MQI calls and the MQI Options


• Understand and use transactions


• Understand and use triggers
• Understand and use remote queuing


• Understand and use MQSET and MQINQ calls
