What are the hardware and Software requirements for MQ Installation in AIX?

--

Ans. WebSphere MQ for AIX, V5.3 runs on any machine that supports the AIX V4.3.3 PowerPC® 32.bit, or AIX® V5.1 Power 32 bit only operating system.
Disk Storage: Typical storage requirements are as follows:
1 Server installation: 50 MB
2. Client installation: 15 MB
3 Data storage (server): 50 MB
4. Data storage (client): 5 MB.
Software Requirements:
Operating system: The operating systems supported by WebSphere MQ for AIX, V5.3 are:
1. AIX V4.3.3, with PTF U472177, running in a 32 bit environment, on 32 or 64 bit hardware.
2. AIX V5.1, with PTFs U476879, U477366, U477367 and U477368, and APAR fix IY29345 running 32 bit kernel running on 32 or 64 bit hardware.
3. AIX V5.1, with PTF U476879, U477366, U477367 and U477368, and APAR fix IY29345 running 64 bit kernel running on 64 bit hardware.
Connectivity The network protocols supported by WebSphere MQ for AIX, V5.3 are:
1. TCP/IP
2. SNA LU 6.2.
Databases: DB2 7.1, 7.2
Oracle 8i and 9i
Sybase v12 or v 12.5
Java: If you want to use the Java Messaging Support, you need the Java Runtime Environment Version 1.3 or later

Asynchronous Vs. Synchronous Communications

Synchronous (One thread):   1 thread -> |<---A---->||<----B---------->||<------C----->| Synchronous (multi-threaded):   thread A -> |<---A---->| \ thread B ------------> ->|<----B---------->| \ thread C ----------------------------------> ->|<------C----->|

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

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
