This course will use both instructor-led discussions and hands-on workshops to demonstrate the capabilities of programming Java applications using IBM’s MQSeries. Within this course, each student will be exposed to the following topics; the major components of an MQSeries installation (both local and remote), install the MQSeries client, develop MQSeries Java program using RAD v6.0, connect to queue manager, MQI API, both read and send MQSeries messages, perform exception handling, understand the role of Java Messaging Services (JMS), transactions and MQ syncpoints, security in the MQ environment and MQ triggering.

Prerequisites

Each student should have a basic understanding of the internet and have been exposed to the Java programming language.

Class Format

Lecture and Lab

Audience

Designed for beginning and intermediate Java developers that will be using application messaging using MQSeries and Java.
