Websphere MQ Health Check

Over many years, IBM Websphere MQ (WMQ) software has become the De Facto standard for mission-critical, assured and one-time-only message transfer across multiple industries; e.g. Financial Services organisations where any message delay can have severe and costly ramifications. WMQ provides a Universal Messaging Backbone on distributed platforms to connect virtually any commercial IT system.

Orbital’s experience and expertise from working with WMQ in it’s many guises mean we are well positioned to offer advice on getting the most out of the technology, for both new installations and existing environments.

WMQ is a complex tool, with many intricacies that may not be obvious at first glance. Examples include performance degradation (sometimes up to 100 times slower than is achievable) and/or a loss of message assurance as a result of using default settings. In addition, versions of WMQ may go out of support without a client being aware – potentially a high risk should you have a system failure and need to place a support call on IBM.
