What is Designing, Implementing, and Managing IBM MQ V9 Clusters (WM253G) Certification Training about?

You learn cluster specific commands and procedures, and explore the role of a cluster in a highly available IBM MQ infrastructure. You learn how to do a detailed verification of a new cluster configuration, review and identify all resulting components, and troubleshoot problems. You also learn about cluster administration, workload balancing, security, and use of publish/subscribe clusters. 


You learn how to recognize when a problem is due to connection authentication, channel authentication, or object authorizations. You also learn about design options such as overlapping clusters and use of clusters with z/OS queue sharing groups. Many of the considerations in this course are based on actual engagement experiences.
