  The IBM MQ V9 Advanced System Administration (Distributed) course is a 4-day course that is designed to teach students about the advanced features of IBM MQ, like implementing workload management by using a queue manager cluster and authenticating connections, channels, and users. The course also discusses securing channels with Transport Layer Security (TLS), advanced client connection features, event and message monitoring, and publish/subscribe administration.

  The course offers Instructor-led lectures and hands-on lab exercises designed to reinforce lecture content. The lab exercises provide students practical experience with tasks such as implementing security, configuring workload management for a queue manager cluster, and advanced troubleshooting techniques.

• Using conversation sharing, read-ahead, and asynchronous put to improve the performance of MQI client connections
• Using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure TCP/IP channels
• Authenticating IBM MQ channels, connections, and users
• Managing the workload in an IBM MQ queue manager cluster
• Implementing IBM MQ high availability
• Monitoring application activity, events, and messages
• Using the IBM MQ dead-letter queue message handler to manage a dead-letter queue
• Administering distributed publish/subscribe networks
• Using the IBM MQ Console to administer IBM MQ objects and resource usage
• Administering Java Message Service (JMS) in MQ
