Task 1: Setting up a new cluster

 

Scenario:

• You are setting up a new WebSphere MQ network for a chain store. The store has two branches, one in London and one in New York. The data and applications for each store are hosted by systems running separate queue managers. The two queue managers are called LONDON and NEWYORK.

• The inventory application runs on the system in New York, connected to queue manager NEWYORK. The application is driven by the arrival of messages on the INVENTQ queue, hosted by NEWYORK.

• The two queue managers, LONDON and NEWYORK, are to be linked in a cluster called INVENTORY so that they can both put messages to the INVENTQ.

• Examples given using either TCP/IP or LU 6.2.

Figure 1 shows what this cluster looks like.

We can also use one of the wizards supplied with WebSphere MQ Explorer to create a new cluster similar to the one created by this task. Right-click the Queue Manager Clusters folder, then click New > Queue Manager Cluster, and follow the instructions given in the wizard.
