WebSphere MQ Integrator Deployment and Migration

The release of WebSphere MQ Integrator Version 2.1 has introduced quite a few changes; these changes make it more appealing for message flow developers and message set designers to migrate to the new version so that they can exploit this functionality.
After a brief overview of the product, we look at several migration issues that might arise; we also describe the migration process for MQSeries Integrator Version 2.0.1 and Version 2.0.2 on Windows NT and AIX platforms. The migrated environment is further extended with a broker running on Solaris using Oracle, and a broker running on Windows using SQL Server. Besides the migration of brokers and the Configuration Manager, this redbook also investigates the migration of message flows that use NEON functionality. We discuss several scenarios explaining how to take advantage of the tighter integration between NEON-based functionality and base WebSphere MQ Integrator functionality.
Finally, we introduce the major new features of this release. The extended functionality of the Message Repository Manager and the extended support for XML messages is explored using several examples. The support for Java-based plug-in nodes and input nodes is demonstrated by developing a simple input node which reads files from a directory to initiate a message flow. The new aggregate nodes also demonstrate how to combine several messages of several formats into a single XML message.
