Hi All,
I am looking for resources on "How to use MQ" for the banking sector.
For e.g, How would I go about using MQ in a banking scenario?
Where can i find documents related to banks that use MQ and how they use it.
Any documents or links from the expert MQ community here would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Not sure why banking is any different to any other use of MQ.
Areas of interest to any vital application include message persistence, transactional integrity (e.g. 2 phase commit), security and error handling. |

Also possibly tuning as some financial activities are time sensitive.

| I do not have any specific information but you could try your IBM marketing rep as there was a bank featured by IBM that was implementing MQ throughout their enterprise! And it seemed very informative! |

1. Security
2. Clustering for high availability and failover
3. If the msg delivery needs to be too fast, try to use non persistent msgs if possible.
4. Try use Binding mode if the app and MQ server are on the same physical server.
5. Use the maxmsglength of the queues approximate to the actual message size.
6. If you need higher through put, you can use DefaultQBuffer sise parameter in the qm.ini file..check this site for tuning MQ for higher through put...http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0712_dunn/0712_dunn.html
I am sharing what I know. I hope this will be helpful.
Thanks. |

In my opinion, there should be a strong focus on the following when deploying MQ at a financial services organisation:
1. Security - Use SSL and OAM apart from exits that allow access from specfic IPs or hostnames
2. Time Sensitivity - Use message expiry attribute, consider non-persistent messages(if this is the case you could try WMQ LLM (low on security though))
3. Availability & load managment - Use MQ clustering & HACMP

Also, auditing & strict monitoring are among others that should be focussed upon.

my 2 cents:
Growth policies: when to create new qmgrs ?, what makes you use more than 1 qmgr, what LOB owns the resources
Recovery procedures: how to minimize the "time to resolve" for the different incidents you may have |
