Assumptions

This scenario makes several assumptions about the system that you are using to set up and work with the sample IT configuration. These assumptions include the operating system and version of the products that you are using, and whether or not we have security configured for IBM MQ .

This scenario assumes the following points:

  • You are using one computer with a Windows operating system for this scenario, on which you will install both the initial IBM MQ Version 8.0 configuration and then IBM MQ Version 9.0. Note: Clustering is not described in this scenario. Instructions are provided for installing a sample IBM MQ single server configuration which we can use as a starting point for trying out the scenario in the same way as it was originally developed.
  • You are using the following versions of IBM MQ:

    • For the initial sample configuration, you are using IBM MQ Version 8.0. This scenario was developed using IBM MQ Version 8.0.0, Fix Pack 5.
    • For the post-migration configuration, you are using IBM MQ Version 9.0. This scenario was developed using IBM MQ Version 9.0.0.
  • This scenario does not describe the security configuration for IBM MQ. If we do have security configured you should still be able to complete the scenario.
  • We can use the Windows command prompt, and the graphical user interface IBM MQ Explorer, to complete the tasks described in this scenario.
