Hi All,
Just have a question as I have been thinking about my MQ Career.
I would say I am more of integration specialist, working on MQ MQSI (admin). I do know quite a bit of Internet programming as well.
What would strengthen my role as good/better integration specialist?
I wonder would XML technologies help?
I don’t know. Could some one help me which area(s) would be good to explore that would help myself position as integration specialist?
I am stuck what next other than MQ, I feel I have to learn something to stay put.
Thanks. |

In my opinion,
for an EAI specialist having good knowledge of
J2EE technologies (esp. EJB, JMS, MDB) will be a great plus. XML is a must. SOAP and Webservices will keep you in the market.

That's the problem today. Head-hunters have bastardized the term 'EAI Specialist'. It could almost mean anything.
MQGuy2000 definition is correct by so is mine (and others too) but they require different skillsets. MQGuy2000's definition is heavy on web skills.
Where as EAI to me means many different / cross platform knowledge. When I do interviewing for EAI Specialists or EAI Architect, here are the 8 areas that I look for and they must have a major skill in each:
- Database (1 skill): Oracle, DB2, Sybase, MS SQL, MySQL, although JDBC or ODBC is acceptable
- Messaging (1 skill): WMQ, Sonic, etc.. although JMS only is acceptable
- Platforms (3 skills): Windows, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, OS/390 (z/OS), OS/400, Tandem, etc... (by 3, I don't mean Windows NT & 2000 & XP)
- Transformation (1 skill): Mercator, MQSI, DataJunction, etc...
- Programming (1 skill): Java, C or C++ (COBOL only counts if they are learning one of the others)
- Data (1 skill): They must know XML and DTDs. Bonus for XSLT, Fastpath, etc...
- Projects (1 skill): Architected or managed or designed a project that involved at least 7 people developers / integrators (testers or end users don't count).
- Frameworks (2 skill): JMX, JUnit, JSP, MDB, Struts, etc...
The canditate must be immediate (expert preferred) skill level in each of the categories to be considered an EAI Specialists or EAI Architect.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
