Verify the installation on IBM i

How to check that your installation has been successful.

Procedure

1. To ensure that the product has loaded correctly, issue the Display Software Resources (DSPSFWRSC) command and check that the licensed program 5724H72 is listed. If we have installed the base and the optional samples, you see:

   Resource
   ID    Option Feature Description
   5724H72  *BASE  5050 IBM MQ for IBM i
   5724H72  *BASE  2924 IBM MQ for IBM i
   5724H72  1    5050 IBM MQ for IBM i - Samples
   

2. Press F11, while viewing the Display Software Resources screen, and you see the library and version number of the products installed:

   Resource          Feature
   ID    Option Feature  Type  Library  Release
   5724H72  *BASE  5050   *CODE  QMQM   V9R0M0
   5724H72  *BASE  2924   *LNG   QMQM   V9R0M0
   5724H72  1    5050   *CODE  QMQMSAMP V9R0M0
   

3. If we have installed additional language versions, you also see entries for these versions. For example, if you have installed the French version, for which the language ID is 2928, you see:
   1. 
      

      Resource
      ID    Option Feature Description
      5724H72  *BASE  2928 IBM MQ for IBM i
      

   2. and when you press F11:

      Resource           Feature
      ID    Option Feature  Type  Library   Release
      5724H72  *BASE  2928  *LNG  QSYS2928  V9R0M0
      

4. Use the command DSPMQMVER to check exactly what version you have installed. For example, for V9R0M0, it reports:

   Version: 9.0.0.0
