Task 1: Setting up a new cluster
Scenario:
- You are setting up a new WebSphere MQ(R) 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 5 shows what this cluster looks like.
Note:
On WebSphere MQ for Windows you can use one of the wizards supplied with WebSphere MQ Explorer
to create a new cluster similar to the one created by this task.
