IBM WebSphere MQ Essentials Introduction
Course Overview
This course is designed to provide a technical introduction to WebSphere MQ. It identifies the major benefits of WebSphere MQ on application design, and lists the platforms on which WebSphere MQ is supported. The basic components and structure of WebSphere MQ are described, as well as the function of the calls in the Message Queue Interface (MQI). The tasks for managing a queue manager, transaction support, and the system security features in WebSphere MQ are all introduced. Finally, this course explains how WebSphere MQ can be used as part of the communications infrastructure to connect application environments such as Lotus Notes, the Web, enterprise transaction systems, and data base systems.
