Architecture

– Has evolved over time and offers best of both …

• A blend of UNIX common services integrated with key architectural value propositions of the HP NonStop architecture

– OSS (Unix) environment

• Standardization of interfaces

• Multi-threading for better resource utilization and overall scalability

– Guardian for key server processes and databases giving fault-tolerance and data integrity

• NonStop Process pairs (queue servers, channel server and execution controller)

• Queue and message storage audited by TMF

– Secure channels provided using SSL from OpenSSL

• Full interoperation with GSKit implementations on other platforms

– PATHWAY for process management & monitoring

– Disaster recovery using RDF


5

We have added

� Extended Transactional client support at an MQ V7.1 release level

– Gives access to full MQ V7.1 function to NonStop applications linking to MQ on other systems

– Client is free and fully supported

• C / C++ extended transactional client

• Cobol

• pTAL support

• JMS client

– Supports both Guardian and OSS application programs and OSS multi-

threaded applications

– GA product made available in July 2013

– Available from Support Pac page:http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034802

– Will be updated following each major MQ release

MQ on HP NonStop Server

� MQ V5.3 will remain in marketing and with full service for guaranteed prolonged minimum period

– Will continue

• to support new NonStop releases

• to be qualified on new Itanium processor releases

– Full service and support included maintenance and security fixes• Normal service period extended to at least 2Q2016• Extended service to at least 2Q2020.

– Will remain interoperable with all current and future releases of MQ on other platforms

� This version will remain as the server release and will not be updated with a new server version

� Minor functional enhancements may be provided via the service streams

MQ in Client Topologies

App

Extended MQ Client

XA

TM

NODE 1

Database Server

NODE 2

NODE 3

Queue Manager

Client Benefits

� Lower cost to deploy, only pay for central

server

� Smaller install and runtime footprint

� Can configure to connect to multiple

servers so failure resilient with automatic

reconnect

� Can workload balance across Queue

Managers

� Very low administration, zero local admin

except for initial set-up

� Transactional client allow participation as a

RM TMF transaction

� All WAS/MQ customers use this topology,

so common use in production

Server Benefits� Messaging even when network not

available

� Local control over administration and

monitoring

However you will continue to have the choice. Existing fully supported server or new client.

Functional Comparison - Infrastructure/Administration Features

No significant impact--Runtime - Performance (on HPNS)

Describes the key features and functional differences for system administrators when connecting applications directly to a v7.5 queue manager, as opposed to

using a v5.3 queue manager on HPNS as a gateway to a v7.5 infrastructure.

Dependent on network and server availability--Runtime – Fault Tolerance (on HPNS)

Reduced--Runtime - Resource Usage (on HPNS)

Yes--Clustering - Split cluster transmit queue

Possible Roadmap

� Enhancements to the WebSphere MQ V5.3 on HP NonStop

– Limited enhancements to server will be delivered via service stream.

– Key features under consideration include;

• Upgrade of Open SSL to provide SHA 2

• Java7 support

• IPv6 support

– Open to other requests that can be delivered via the service stream

� Client release

– It is our intent to update the transactional client to the VNext level during 2014


11

Summary

� HP and IBM remain committed to providing MQ capability on the HP NonStop Platform

– Close collaboration will continue

– New approach will provide more timely access to new MQ capabilities on HP NonStop

� Existing workload

– No need to change. MQ 5.3 will continued to be support and available for new licence deployment

– Can migrate to client to simplify operational management if and when appropriate

� New workload

– Can be deployed on MQ 5.3 if this meets the functional requirement

– Or, can be deployed using to the client if additional functional capability is required or to centralise operational management


12

IBM and BrightStrand Partnership

� Close working relationship between IBM and BrightStrand

� BrightStrand MQ Services include;

– Education ‘MQ on NonStop’

– Performance and tuning

– Migration to client topologies

– Installation & Configuration
