PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential, Dallas, Texas

Websphere MB, MQ Series

Environment: WMQ 7.0, Websphere Message Broker 7.0.0.1, COBOL, XML, HTTP, ESQL, WESB and TDS

Responsibilities:

• Designed, installed, and configured a WMB/WMQ network with message flows for use by MQWorkflow and WAS applications and provided skills transfer.
• Created a WMB message flow for a Proof of Concept which demonstrated how to transform input XML data to output COBOL data so a customer could integrate his new Java applications with back-end COBOL applications.
• Went onsite for a customer POC to assist a Business Partner install WMB and create a message flow which received delimited data from an input file and transformed it to XML output.
• Went to a Business Partner client location to consult with the Partner as they had several WMB issues. Resolved one of the issues by building a message flow to show how to interact with a COBOL copybook format that used the Redefines clause.
• Conducted a two-day WMB workshop for a customer followed by a successful WMB publish/subscribe Proof of Concept.
• Created a complex WMB message flow to process tagged/delimited data. The Flow had to hold ‘state’ as it received correlated input data. The ‘state’ problem would’ve been better handled if WPS had been available for sale and use.
• Went to a Business Partner client location to assist the Partner in resolving their WMB message flow PMR.
• Developed a workshop lab using WMB and WESB to show a federated ESB. The WESB Mediation Module invoked a WMB message flow as a SOAP/HTTP web service. The flow transformed the SOAP request message to a COBOL format, invoked a backend program via a WMQ request message, received the WMQ reply message, transformed the COBOL format to SOAP reply format, and returned the SOAP reply message to the WESB Mediation Module.
• Created a WMB message flow for a Proof of Concept to show flexibility where the flow’s output queue names were stored in a database, a Database Node retrieved a queue name based upon key data in the input message, and the target queue destination name was dynamically set by the flow in the MQOutput Node.
• Installed WMB at a customer location then lectured and demonstrated how a message flow could be used to call a backend web service.
• Modified an IBM demonstration message flow by “modernizing” it to use the JavaCompute Node for data transformation instead of a Compute Node using ESQL.
• Created sample message flows transforming TDS to XML and XML to TDS when the WMB MRM component could better handle tagged/delimited data (TDS). Placed these flows in an IBM repository for asset reuse.

WebSphere Message Broker Developer

Environment: Message Broker V7.0.0.1, JMS, XMLNSC, XMLNS, MRM, BLOB Domains and User-defined Node (UDN)

Responsibilities:

• Authored the test plan for the installation and configuration of WMB and WMQ in a new hardware/software SOA ESB. The test plan validates:
• End-to-end Active/Active multi-instance Message Broker switchover and failover
• End-to-end WMQ Client auto-reconnect to Active/Active multi-instance gateway queue managers after switchover and failover
• Message flow publisher to a WMQ application subscriber in a WMQ publish/subscribe cluster.
• Led a customer team in creating naming standards for message flow projects, message flows, message sets, message flow pattern artifacts, Broker schemas, Broker configurable services, etc.
• Led a customer team in designing a common error handler message subflow, created the subflow which processes WMQ and JMS input messages in the XMLNSC, XMLNS, MRM, and BLOB Domains, and authored a subflow user guide for message flow developers.
• Co-led a customer team in designing a common WMQ input message request retry subflow with a common WMQ message retry handler message flow. Researched and created the subflow and message flow which uses the Timeout Control/Notification Nodes. Authored a subflow/message flow user guide for message flow developers.
• Created a common LogToFile message subflow for logging arbitrary information to disk during message flow execution, converted the subflow to a User-defined Node (UDN), and distributed it to the message flow developers for addition to their Toolkit palettes. Authored a UDN user guide for message flow developers.
• Mentored junior message flow developers by:
• Reviewing message flows and providing feedback
• Assisting in debugging message flows
• Creating technical presentations, a JMS/WMQ application, and demonstration message flows for the JMSInput, JMSOutput, and MQGet Nodes.
• Created a starter baseline message flow pattern for new message flow developers.
• Backed-up the customer’s message flow developers when they were on vacation.
