Installation procedure

 

Before you start the installation procedure, make sure that you have prepared your system as described in Preparing for installation

This installation procedure uses the swinstall program, enabling you to choose which components you want to install. The components (or filesets) are listed in WebSphere MQ Components; install at least the Runtime, Base, and Client components.

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Insert the Client CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

  3. Mount the CD-ROM drive or the drive from which you are installing.

  4. Accept the licence:

    1. Change directory to the location of the mounted CD-ROM or your install location. If you want to install the client with SSL support, change directory to MQClientwithSSL, otherwise, change directory to MQClient.

    2. Run the mqlicense script (for example ./mqlicense.sh).

      The license is displayed. If you accept the license, we can continue the installation.

      If you are performing a silent or remote install, we can type ./mqlicense.sh -accept to accept the license without being displayed.

  5. Use the following command to start the installation procedure: 
    swinstall -s src_dir MQSERIES
    where src_dir is the source directory for the installation files. If you do this, all components of the WebSphere MQ client are installed (including message catalogs for all available languages).

    If the files on your CD-ROM appear in uppercase with a ";1" suffix, use this name for the depot.

  6. If you want to install all WebSphere MQ components, select MQSERIES, then select Actions > Install.

  7. If you do not want to install all components, select MQSERIES:

    1. Select Actions > Open Item .

    2. Highlight the components you require (use the Ctrl key for multiple selections) and select Mark for install from the Actions menu. (The gsk7bas and gsk7bas64 fileset for the IBM Global Security Kit is automatically selected).

    3. Select go up and press Enter to return to the product list. MQSERIES is marked as Partial if you did not select all the components.

  8. Select Actions > Install. The log file tells you if there are any problems that need fixing.

  9. When you have fixed any problems, press OK to install. You are informed when the installation is complete.
