Overview

In addition to the instructor-led lectures, you participate in hands-on lab exercises that reinforce lecture content. The lab exercises give you practical experience with tasks such as creating an MQ network, managing client connections, configuring clusters, and more. You also learn how to handle undeliverable messages, create trigger actions based on events, and balance client workloads.
