What to do next

What to do next on completion of the Getting started with IBM MQ scenario.

There are additional topics for you to view in the IBM MQ product documentation. You might want to look at the following sections:

  • Administer IBM MQ

    IBM MQ provides control commands that we can use. We use two of these commands in this scenario: crtmqm and strmqm. This section also provides a good overview about message queuing.

  • MQSC reference

    In this scenario, we use the define qlocal('LQ1') command to define a local queue called LQ1 ; this command is an MQSC command. IBM MQ system administrators use these commands to manage their queue managers. This section introduces the commands and shows you how to use them, before describing the commands in detail, in alphabetical order.

  • Configure a queue manager cluster

    This section describes how to organize, use, and manage queue managers in virtual groups known as clusters. Clustering ensures that each queue manager within a cluster knows about all the other queue managers in the same cluster. Clustering also makes the management of complex queue manager networks simpler.

The Product Connectivity Scenarios and Patterns product documentation provides information that leads you through the key tasks required to connect WebSphere Application Server to IBM MQ in a variety of scenarios. Each scenario contains the instructions for implementing a solution in a business context, allowing you to learn as you go without needing to make use of other information resources.
