New for IBM MQ 9.3.4 - token based (JWT) authentication for your client applications. What is is and why should you care? https://t.co/7X9BgAkf7v

[Anthony Beardsmore @antbeardsmore]

If you're interested in the gory details of what goes on deep in the internals of an IBM MQ Cluster - help is available. Also there's now this blog/technote: https://t.co/S3FnTIhBvb

Before I look into the legal options, anyone @vueling like to comment on why they provide no contact information anywhere for customer service (only an awful 'bot' on the website) and auto-reject compensation for delayed flights without any good explanation?

[Anthony Beardsmore @antbeardsmore]

Quick post (and sample code) showing how you can override a fixed Queue Manager name in 'legacy' client applications and enable use of many modern (CCDT based) IBM MQ features. https://t.co/oeOOIlMkVJ

@dalelane It's amazing how often they report on stuff that suddenly becomes 'the big thing' months or years later. E.g. the second jobs saga.

@dalelane 😆

@MQGem And if you are, don't forget my new favourite MQSC command DIS APSTATUS as another way to get insight on how connections are related to each other.

If the main thing missing from your day was my soothing tones giving you an update on scaling options in IBM MQ, boy do I have good news for you! https://t.co/6jKI0bASlK

[Anthony Beardsmore @antbeardsmore]

Just updated https://t.co/Rp6lsiJepA with example code and scripts demonstrating how you can now rebalance request reply applications in an IBM MQ Uniform Cluster

[Anthony Beardsmore @antbeardsmore]

@dalelane Sadly it really isn't. Infuriating controls ruined any hope of getting into the story for me. Might be marginally more bearable with a mouse.

[Anthony Beardsmore @antbeardsmore]

And here's a deeper dive into how new IBM MQ 9.2.4 features can enable request reply applications to take advantage of Uniform Cluster balancing: https://t.co/jCjugO7jIM

[Anthony Beardsmore @antbeardsmore]

https://t.co/ymW8pfNhRL gives a good intro to the 'Application Patterns' feature for MQ Uniform Clusters (new in 9.2.4) here: https://t.co/CbG48Q7HZM

@dalelane I never understood the argument that it solved the inbox problem. It only ever meant one of two things - people were using it for stuff that was less important (so you could mark thread/channel as read), or fewer people were using it to talk to you full stop.

[Anthony Beardsmore @antbeardsmore]

@dalelane Agreed, I lost interest rapidly. Infinite was a return to form though.

[Anthony Beardsmore @antbeardsmore]

@gouda_65 Hi @gouda_65 - all is not lost! This blog post effectively got tided up and inserted into the KnowledgeCenter as https://t.co/vYbz0djsTr - hope that has what you're looking for.

IBM MQ Appliance: a cheat's guide to network setup. https://t.co/TP8mc9zqpz

[Anthony Beardsmore @antbeardsmore]

@dalelane But does that include Blood and Wine? (at a mere 100hrs I'm guessing not... In which case you have that to look forward to!)

[Anthony Beardsmore @antbeardsmore]

Wrote up some - I hope useful - notes on connecting an MDB hosted on OpenLiberty into IBM MQ: https://t.co/dzHeFbYlLC

@thewonstonarms Does this mean the beach is ready? Are you open again regular evenings?
