This intermediate level certification is for system administrators who have extensive product knowledge and are expected to plan, install, configure and maintain the product.
These system administrators perform day-to-day administration activities which cover:
1. Planning, Installation and Migration
2. Configuration
3. Security
4. Administration
5. Availability
6. Monitoring
7. Performance Tuning
8. Problem Determination
It is expected that this system administrator will be generally self-sufficient and be able to perform the tasks involved in the role with limited assistance from peers, product documentation and vendor support services.
Due to the various platforms supported by IBM MQ V9.0, this certification is a cross platform certification. There are platform specific questions on the certification test. Due to the timing of the Continuous Delivery and Long Term Support availability on the appliance, questions related to MQ Appliance reflect version 9.0.1.
