This intermediate level certification is for system administrators who have
extensive product knowledge and are expected to plan, install, configure and
maintain the product.
These system administrators perform day-to-day administration activities which
cover:
It is expected that this system administrator will be generally self-sufficient
and be able to perform the tasks involved in the role with limited assistance
from peers, product documentation and vendor support services.
Due to the various platforms supported by IBM MQ V9.1, this certification is a
cross platform certification. There are platform specific questions on the
certification test. Due to the timing of the Continuous Delivery and Long Term
Support availability on the appliance, questions related to MQ Appliance reflect
version 9.1.
Planning, Installation, and Migration 15% Describe the differences between Long Term Support (LTS) and Continuous
Delivery (CD) Design an appropriate infrastructure to meet conflicting
requirements Identify the pre-requisites for installing and implementing an IBM
MQ configuration, including multi-instance queue managers Plan the appropriate
backup and recovery strategy Describe the differences between MQ Advanced and MQ
Select the appropriate IBM MQ platform for a given workload Outline migration
considerations, including impact on existing applications and multi-installation
Deploy MQ in a Docker container
Configuration 21% Create the necessary IBM MQ objects to support an application Configure IBM
MQ channels based on the network topology Configure IBM MQ objects for triggered
applications and channels Create the objects required to enable queue manager
clustering and workload distribution Define the objects to support a
publish/subscribe topology distribution Configure IBM MQ objects to support JMS
Configure channel exits Configure an MQ Client
Security 15% Understand the purpose of Connection Authentication (CONNAUTH) Configure
Channel Authentication (CHLAUTH) Control access to IBM MQ objects Configure IBM
MQ clients and channels with TLS 1.2 Describe MQ Appliance features that provide
intrusion detection Distinguish between the available security choices Configure
end-to-end message security
Administration 17% Administer queue managers and their objects Configure IBM MQ Explorer for
remote administration Monitor and alter IBM MQ using the different command tools
Define procedures to recover messages and objects in the event of failure
Implement dead-letter queue (DLQ) handling Acquire, apply maintenance, or
migrate IBM MQ Use the WEB UI and REST interface Configure different types of
logs
Availability 11% Configure and manage a multi-instance queue manager Configure IBM MQ for
automatic client reconnection Implement backup, restart, and recovery procedures
Implement a Queue-Sharing Group for High Availability Manage an MQ cluster
Configure and Manage HA/DR for MQ appliance Create a High Availability
Replication Data Queue manager (HA RDQM) topology
Monitoring 8% Explain the IBM MQ capabilities for monitoring Enable and Monitor IBM MQ
Events Monitor Message and Application Activities Gather and analyze IBM MQ
accounting and statistics data Use IBM MQ administration tools or commands to
monitor the status of a queue manager, channel or queue
Performance Tuning 5% Identify the tools available to assist in IBM MQ performance Use accounting
and statistical data to identify and resolve performance issues Tune IBM MQ
object definitions for performance and tune client and server connection channel
parameters
Problem Determination 9% Locate problem information such as IBM MQ error logs, FFST files and IBM MQ
dumps Produce an IBM MQ trace Identify the steps to evaluate and recover a
non-responsive queue manager Determine the route that a message took through a
queue manager network Describe how to use the Enhanced Application Activity
Trace Predict the final destination of a message given a scenario containing
alias or remote definitions
