MQS1142: WebSphere Message Broker V6 Advanced Topics

Overview:

This advanced course prepares attendees for the complexities of implementing WebSphere Message Broker Version 6. Students configure and work in a formalized development environment that is as close to a real working environment as we can achieve in a classroom including version control and scripted deployment and promotion procedures between development and testing broker domains. All major message flow design paradigms are discussed in detail with real life case studies. Error handling and ease of problem resolution are considered for all cases. Students work with all supported Input/Output protocols and the corresponding nodes including MQ, Generic JMS (implemented as WebSphere Platform messaging), HTTP, and MQ Realtime transport and perform conversion between different protocols (e.g. MQ–HTTP). Logical message transformations are discussed in detail with strong emphasis on writing efficient ESQL although Java and XSLT transformations are also implemented. The use of the MRM parser is discussed in detail including all physical layers (CWF, XML, and TDS) with an emphasis on handling complex data structures. The processing of multi-part messages is discussed in detail and exercised in hands-on labs. Advanced Message Flow paradigms (including Request-Reply style message flows, aggregation message flows, timed message flows, and Pub/Sub flows) are discussed in detail and implemented by the students in lab exercises.

Who should take this course:

This course is intended for experienced WebSphere MQ application designers responsible for the design, development, and the implementation of an enterprise solution that involves WebSphere Message Broker. It is also a great course for those whom have been working with WBIMB V5 and need to come up to speed on Version 6, plus gain advanced knowledge of the Integrator Broker Product.

Topics include:

• Configuring and working in a complex multi-broker environment including: Topology considerations, source control and promotion procedures.
• Message Flow Core Designs including error handling, code reuse, and writing manageable code.
• Handling multiple protocols in an ESB including WebSphere MQ, HTTP, Generic JMS, MQe, SCADA, and the WebSphere MQ Real-time transport.
• Transformation logic including detailed discussions of ESQL functionality and performance, fundamentals of Java based transformation, and fundamentals of XSL based transformation.
• Data structures and MRM message sets including advanced topics for defining messages in all three physical layers (CWF, XML, and TDS) as well as the handling of complex multi-part messages.
• Complex Message Flow Paradigms including linking handling transformation of linked requests and replies, fan out and fan in techniques with aggregation style message flows, batch processing with timer based message flows, and dynamic routing with pub/sub message flows.
• All topics are reinforced with realistic hands-on exercises.

Prerequisites:

Participation in MQSoftware MQS1141 WebSphere Message Broker Developers Workshop or IBM WBIMB V5 Workshop (MQ661) and any WebSphere MQ administration or application programming course or IBM equivalents: MQ05 and MQ15 is beneficial.

Certification Program:

None
