Where to find product requirements and support information
Before installing IBM MQ , you must check for the latest information and system requirements.
We can consult the following sources to check that we have the information that you need to help you with planning your installation, including information on hardware and software requirements:
- IBM MQ System Requirements website
- For details of the supported operating systems, and the prerequisites, supported software, and hardware requirements for each supported operating system, go to the System Requirements for IBM MQ website and follow the links to the Detailed System Requirements report for the version of IBM MQ that you are installing. We can select a report for a specific operating system or for a specific component. In both cases, there are separate reports for Long Term Support and Continuous Delivery.
- Product readme file
- The product readme file includes information about last minute changes and known problems and workarounds. The latest version is available at the IBM MQ, WebSphere MQ, and MQSeries® product readmes web page. Always check to see that we have the latest version of the product readme file.
- Support information
- The IBM MQ support web page is regularly updated with the latest product support information. For example, if you are migrating from an earlier version, look under the heading Solve a problem for the document Problems and solutions when migrating.
