This course begins with WebSphere MQ installation and Queue Manager configuration. WebSphere MQ queues and commands are also introduced. The MQI is discussed in brief. Learners are stepped through triggering. Integrity message persistence and recovery are also covered. Distributed queue management is one of the major benefits of WebSphere MQ and this course covers the key concepts.
