You’re running a cluster of IBM MQ queue managers in Red Hat OpenShift, together with a large number of client applications putting and getting messages to them. This workload will vary over time, so you need flexibility in how you scale all of this.<\/p>\n
This tutorial will show how you can easily scale the number of instances of your client applications up and down, without having to reconfigure their connection details and without needing to manually distribute or load balance them.<\/p>\n
And it will show how to quickly and easily grow the queue manager cluster – adding a new queue manager to the cluster without complex, new, custom configuration.<\/p>\n
The IBM MQ feature demonstrated in this tutorial is Uniform Clusters<\/strong>. Dave Ware has a great introduction and demo of Uniform Clusters<\/a>, so if you’re looking for background about how the feature works, I’d highly recommend it.<\/p>\n
