This course is provided by Wintrac. Wintrac provides one stop shopping for all your IT training needs. Wintrac’s course catalog of over two thousand courses includes courses on Websphere training, Weblogic training, Java training and JBoss training

WebSphere Training Overview

This three day course is intended for System Administrators who will be installing and tailoring WebSphere MQ V6 on the distributed platforms (AIX, Windows, UNIX, Sun Solaris, Linux, AS/400,…). Most of the course contents also apply to other platforms such as z/OS, Tandem and VSE. The students learn how to install WebSphere MQ, set up Queue Managers, define and manage Queues, Message Channels, Distributed Queuing, Clusters and learn the basic problem determination techniques. The course also helps to prepare for the IBM MQ Certification tests. It is using machine exercises specific to the AIX platform.

In addition to AIX the course and the machine exercises can be set up for the following platforms:

WebSphere MQ V6 System Administration for Linux
WebSphere MQ V6 System Administration for Windows (Windows 2003, 2000, XP)
WebSphere MQ V6 System Administration for Sun Solaris
WebSphere MQ V5 System Administration for AS/400 (iSeries)

WebSphere Training Audience

System administrators responsible for the setup and maintenance of WebSphere MQ systems on AIX, Windows, UNIX, Sun Solaris or AS/400 platforms.
