I've heard that version 6.0 of MQ will be in GA status by May 2005.
Has anyone else heard this date?
Has anyone succeeded in learning anything about the new release? I can't find anything on it at the IBM site or on the public internet. I *think* it's out already to beta test sites or early adopters or whatever IBM calls them, but that is supposition on my part....
Just wondering,
Shirley |

Yeah. I have it. That is the z/OS version. One thing you do have to do is convert your cells. It may take a few hrs to upgrade each WAS server becaue of this. Having said that I will know more once I upgrade a few.

From unnamed but good sources, it will be announced in May, released in June.
New tooling for everything.
Get ready.

So, would it be ok to upgrade from MQSIV2.1 to WMB 6.0? (Basically skipping V5)

No.
WBIMB v6, perhaps. But I suspect that the migration is going to be just as big a step - and that the migration from 5 to 6 will be a lot simpler.

Ramphart,
Just to clarify, we are discussing WMQ - MQSeries - not the message broker product, WMQI/WBIMB.
I haven't heard anything about a 6.0 release of WBIMB. But perhaps that is also in the plans, as IBM seems to be aiming to get the suite at a uniform release number.

| And to confuse matters further, there is the messaging engine in WAS v6. I've been playing with it for a few weeks and it is pretty darn good. |

Did you play with the just the messaging part or also the mediations? which would make that part of WAS act more like WBIMB as described here: http://www.mqseries.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20577

| I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I did successfully build a mediation last week that simply returned a true (ie, passed the message on). My next step will be to have it actually do something (when I can find the time). I'm also interested in seeing what they do and how they compare to WBI MB. |

My understanding of the new WebSphere Embedded Messaging is that it willl do light XLST transformations and routing. Things like comput nodes etc are long way off so dont throw your brokers away just yet.

A mediation is just a stateless session bean, the good thing being that a chain of mediations can run together successively within the same transaction and context, this should give a large performance improvement when compared to chaining together multiple message flows in WBIMB.
For me, the best feature is the high availability support. The messaging engine now uses a database for persistence, this can be a locally installed database (cloudscape is used mostly) or accessed remotely.
I have had 2 servers in a cluster failover the messaging engine, with HADR in DB2 8.2 the database can fail over also - all this without even touching a HA product! |
