What is it?

Web sphere MQ, formerly known as MQ (message queue) series, is an IBM
standard for program-to-program messaging across multiple platforms. Web
sphere MQ is sometimes referred to as message-oriented middleware (MOM).

Web sphere MQ takes care of all the storage, logging and communications details
required to guarantee delivery of the message to the destination queue. In most
cases, it will take care of translating the data when the source and destination use
different character sets (EBCDIC on MVS vs. ASCII on NT or Unix). All the
applications have to do is know the name of the Queue and agree on the meaning of
the message.

Messaging and Queuing
9/26/2014
7
Messaging means that programs communicate by sending each other messages (data),
rather than by calling each other directly.

Queuing means that the messages are placed on queues in storage, so that programs can
run independently of each other, at different speeds and times, in different locations, and
without having a logical connection between them.

Queue:
A message queue is used to store messages sent by programs. They are defined as objects belonging to the queue
manager.
Queue manager:
The component of software that owns and manages queues is called a queue manager (QM). In
WebSphere MQ, the message queue manager is called the MQM

Types of message queues

Local queue
Remote queue
Transmission queue
Dead letter queue
What is a WebSphere MQ channel?
9/26/2014
11
Channel :
A channel is a logical communication link. The conversational style of program-to-program
communication requires the existence of a communications connection between each pair of communicating
applications.
WebSphere MQ uses two kinds of channels:

MQI Channel
Message Channel
Sender Channel
Receiver channel

Overview
9/26/2014
13
WebSphere Message Broker (WMB) is IBM's integration broker from the WebSphere product family
that allows business information to flow between disparate applications across multiple hardware and
software platforms. Rules can be applied to the data flowing through the message broker to route and
transform the information. The product is an Enterprise Service Bus providing connectivity between
applications and services in a Service Oriented Architecture.

WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit is an Eclipse-based tool that developers use to construct message
flows and transformation artifacts using editors to work with specific types of resources. Context-
sensitive help is available to developers throughout the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit and various
wizards provide quick-start capability on certain tasks.

WebSphere Message Broker Explorer provides a graphical view of various resources deployed to WMB
and WMQ runtimes.
WebSphere Message Broker features

9/26/2014
14
WMB has many features, The main features are :
Routing
Transformation
Integration
Data Enriching
Universal Connectivity
Publish/subscribe

Message Broker Toolkit
9/26/2014
15
The Message Brokers Toolkit is the graphical user interface for the WebSphere Message
Broker products that runs on Windows and Linux.
The Message Brokers Toolkit is the development environment for message flow
applications and associated resources such as ESQL, Java, mappings, and message
definitions. These message flow applications are deployed to the runtime components
using the Message Brokers Toolkit.

Perspectives:
A perspective (the full workbench window) is a collection of views that can be moved and re-sized.
You can switch perspectives, depending on the task at hand, and customize the layout of views and editors. Switch between
perspectives by clicking Window > Open Perspective > Other, then clicking the perspective to which you want to switch.

Editors:
An editor is a component of the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit. Editors are typically used to edit or browse resources,
which are the files, folders, and projects that exist in the workbench.

Message Flows
9/26/2014
16
A message flow is a sequence of processing steps that run in the broker when an input message
is received.

The following topics describe the concepts that you must understand to design, create, and
configure a message flow and its associated resources:
Projects
Nodes
WebSphere Adapters nodes
IBM Information Management System (IMS)
Configurable services
Version and keywords
Message flow connections
Threading
Execution and threading models in a message flow
The message tree
Parsers
Properties
Message flow transactions
Broker schemas
Business-level monitoring
Accounting and statistics data
Aggregation
Message collections
Converting data with message flows

Message sets overview
9/26/2014
17
A message set is a container for grouping messages and associated message resources (elements, types,
groups).
When you have created your message set, you must specify the following key properties:

Supported message domains
Default message domain
Use namespaces
Runtime environment
9/26/2014
18
The WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit enables developers to graphically design mediations, known as message flows,
and related artifacts. Once developed, these resources can be packaged into a broker archive (BAR) file and deployed into
the runtime environment.
Broker
9/26/2014
19
A broker is a set of execution processes that hosts one or more message flows to route, transform, and
enrich in flight messages.
The purpose of a broker is to take incoming messages from applications and perform some action on
them. The following are examples of actions that might be taken in the broker:
Route messages to one or more of many destinations
Transform messages to an alternative representation
Interact with an external repository to augment a message or store it
Invoke Web services to retrieve data
Respond to events or errors
Provide content and topic-based message routing using the publishsubscribe pattern.

Execution Group
9/26/2014
20
An execution group is a named grouping of message flows that have been assigned to a broker. The broker enforces a
degree of isolation between message flows in distinct execution groups by ensuring that they run in separate address
spaces, or as unique processes.
WMB8 Nodes

Logical Tree Structure
9/26/2014
29
The logical tree structure is the internal (broker) representation of a message. It is also known as the
message assembly.
The input node creates this message assembly, which consists of four trees:
Message tree structure
Environment tree structure
Local environment tree structure
Exception list tree structure

The message tree
9/26/2014
30
A message tree is a structure that is created, either by one or more parsers when an input message bit stream
is received by a message flow, or by the action of a message flow node.
Environment tree
9/26/2014
31
The environment tree is a part of the logical message tree in which you can store information while the message passes through
the message flow.
VAR VAR4 VAR3 VAR2
var6 var7
VAR5
Local Environment tree
9/26/2014
32
The local environment tree is a part of the logical message tree in which you can store information while the message flow
processes the message.
Exception list tree
9/26/2014
33
The exception list tree is a part of the logical message tree in which the message flow writes information about exceptions
that occur when a message is processed.
DFDL Introduction
9/26/2014
34
Data Format Description Language (DFDL) is an XML-based language
used to define the structure of formatted data in a way that is
independent from the data format itself.

The DFDL domain can be used to parse and write a wide variety of
message formats, and is intended for general text and binary message
formats, including industry standards.

When reading a message, the DFDL parser interprets a bit stream by
using grammar defined in a DFDL schema file, and generates a
corresponding DFDL domain logical message tree in the broker.

When writing a message, the DFDL serializer generates a DFDL
formatted bit stream from a DFDL domain logical message tree.
Message Modeling before DFDL
9/26/2014
35
No universal standard for modeling general text and binary data
XML -> use XML Schema
RDBMS -> use database schema
Text/binary -> ??

IBM products have their own way of modeling text and binary data which has evolved
over time based on customer need. Examples
WebSphere Message Broker: MRM message set
WebSphere ESB, IBM Process Server: Data Handlers
Transformation Extender: Type Trees
DataPower: FFD
Cast Iron: Flat File Schema
Sterling Integrator: DDF and IDF files

No common set of industry models (e.g. : COBOL,CSV,TDS)

A new open modeling standard called DFDL aims to change this!

Difference between MRM and DFDL Domain:
9/26/2014
36
Property MRM(Message Repository
Manager)
DFDL(Data Format Description
Language)
Support Only for Message Broker Introduced in V8 as a new parser and
domain
Standard Proprietary Open Standard(Like WSDL,XSD..)
Usage Message Broker uses MRM to
construct a tree out of bit-stream
Can be used any product as it is Open
standard and Message Broker is the 1st
software product that supports DFDL in
WebSphere family.
Testing
message
model
Cant test the modeling without
deploying message set and flow that
uses it
Can be tested without deploying the
messaging model (WMB8 toolkit has DFDL
tester)
Migration Cant migrate or share message
modeling to any other software
products.
Can migrate or share message modeling to
any other software products.
Performance and Example of DFDL
9/26/2014
37
Performance of DFDL is much better than MRM.
Example of a message separated by ; delimiter:
Message: int=5;float=-7.1E8
Corresponding DFDL schema:
<xs:complexType name="myNumbers">
<xs:sequence dfdl:separator=";" dfdl:encoding="ascii" >
<xs:element name="myInt"
type="xs:int"
dfdl:representation="text"
dfdl:textNumberRep="standard" dfdl:encoding="ascii"
dfdl:lengthKind="delimited" dfdl:initiator="int=" />
<xs:element name="myFloat" type="xs:float"
dfdl:representation="text"
dfdl:textNumberRep="standard" dfdl:encoding="ascii"
dfdl:lengthKind="delimited" dfdl:initiator="float=" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
