Message Broker (WMB) installation and setup on Linux

Installing the Binaries
As a first step download the trail version of the message broker binaries from IBM site and install them. this part is very simple and process is depends on your operating system. Like for windows, you have .exe file and Linux has rpm and unix you get pkg or other.

After installation
Set up a broker database
[Windows]
__ 1. Create the broker database, BRKDB.
Open a WebSphere Message Broker Command Console: mqsicreatedb BRKDB
This command also establishes the required ODBC connection.
__ 2. Verify your user account for the broker database.

[Linux]
If you are creating Oracle databases for 32-bit brokers on Linux® and UNIX® systems, run the mqsi_setupdatabase command before you create a database.
mqsi_setupdatabase– Database–Database_Home_Directory
Eg:mqsi_setupdatabase oracle /oracle/product/9i/Db_1
Add $ORACLE_HOME/lib to the end of the MQSI_LIBPATH library search path environment variable

Connecting to a database from Linux/Unix
- Copy the odbc32.ini sample file that is supplied in the install_dir/ODBC32/V5.3 directory to a location of your choice; for example, copy the file to your user ID's home directory.

- Ensure that the odbc32.ini file has file ownership of mqm:mqbrkrs, and has the same permissions as the supplied odbc32.ini sample file.

- Set the ODBCINI32 environment variable to point to your odbc32.ini file, specifying a full path and file name. For Linux on x86 only, use the ODBCINI environment variable. On AIX®, HP-UX, Solaris on SPARC, and Linux on x86-64, set the 32-bit library search path environment variable MQSI_LIBPATH32 to show the location of the 32-bit libraries for the database manager that you are using.

For example, on AIX:
export MQSI_LIBPATH32=$MQSI_LIBPATH32:DB2_instance_directory/sqllib/lib32
On Linux on x86 only, set the 32-bit library search path LD_LIBRARY_PATH to show the location of the 32-bit libraries for the database manager.


- Edit the final stanza in the odbc32.ini file (the [ODBC] stanza) to specify the location of the ODBC Driver Manager, and to control tracing.
# In InstallDir, add the WebSphere Message Broker installation location to complete the fully qualified path to the ODBC directory. If you do not set this value correctly, the ODBC definition will not work.
# In Trace, set the value to 0; if your IBM service representative asks you to enable ODBC trace, set the value to 1.
# Start of changeIn TraceOptions, set the value to 3.End of change
# In TraceFile, type the fully-qualified path and file name to which the ODBC trace is written. Trace files can become large; specify a directory with plenty of free disk space.
# In TraceDll, add the WebSphere Message Broker installation location to complete the fully qualified path to the ODBC trace DLL.
# Accept the default values that are shown in the sample odbc32.ini file for all the other entries in the stanza.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Synchronous / Asynchronous Communications?

  Asynchronous Communication Advantages: Requests need not be targeted to specific server. Service need not be available when request is made. No blocking, so resources could be freed.  Could use connectionless protocol Disadvantages: Response times are unpredictable. Error handling usually more complex.  Usually requires connection-oriented protocol.  Harder to design apps Synchronous Communication Advantages: Easy to program Outcome is known immediately  Error recovery easier (usually)  Better real-time response (usually) Disadvantages: Service must be up and ready. Requestor blocks, held resources are “tied up”.  Usually requires connection-oriented protocol

WebSphere MQ Interview Questions

What is MQ and what does it do? Ans. MQ stands for MESSAGE QUEUEING. WebSphere MQ allows application programs to use message queuing to participate in message-driven processing. Application programs can communicate across different platforms by using the appropriate message queuing software products. What is Message driven process? Ans . When messages arrive on a queue, they can automatically start an application using triggering. If necessary, the applications can be stopped when the message (or messages) have been processed. What are advantages of the MQ? Ans. 1. Integration. 2. Asynchrony 3. Assured Delivery 4. Scalability. How does it support the Integration? Ans. Because the MQ is independent of the Operating System you use i.e. it may be Windows, Solaris,AIX.It is independent of the protocol (i.e. TCP/IP, LU6.2, SNA, NetBIOS, UDP).It is not required that both the sender and receiver should be running on the same platform What is Asynchrony? Ans. With messag

XML Binding with JAXB 2.0 - Tutorial

Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) is an API/framework that binds XML schema to Java representations. Java objects may then subsequently be used to marshal or unmarshal XML documents. Marshalling an XML document means creating an XML document from Java objects. Unmarshalling means creating creating a Java representation of an XML document (or, in effect, the reverse of marshaling). You retrieve the element and attribute values of the XML document from the Java representation. The JAXB 2.0 specification is implemented in JWSDP 2.0. JAXB 2.0 has some new features, which facilitate the marshalling and unmarshalling of an XML document. JAXB 2.0 also allows you to map a Java object to an XML document or an XML Schema. Some of the new features in JAXB 2.0 include: Smaller runtime libraries are required for JAXB 2.0, which require lesser runtime memory. Significantly, fewer Java classes are generated from a schema, compared to JAXB 1.0. For each top-level complexType, 2.0 generates a v
