This redbook provides guidelines and hints for designing and managing networks used with MQSeries. It also helps you design and develop application programs that use the features of MQSeries Version 5.1. Even though the examples have been developed for the Windows NT platform, they apply to any other platform that supports MQSeries Version 5.1. This book is based on class exercises for an ITSO workshop and explains the following:

* How to create and manager clusters
* How to use workload management (load balancing)
* How to use the new GUIs to administer MQSeries on Windows NT
* How to use the Web Administration feature
* How to monitor queues using the Windows NT Performance Monitor
* How to write a workload management exit
* How to use MQSeries for file transfer
* How to use dynamic queues
* Changes in MQSeries security

The first chapter contains an overview of the functions released with MQSeries Version 5.1. The other chapters are dedicated to specific functions. They include programming hints and examples as well as guidelines for MQSeries administration. This redbook comes with a diskette that contains the source code of all examples.
