Create WebSphere MQ file systems

 

The installation directory for the WebSphere MQ product code is /opt/mqm. Working data is stored in /var/mqm. We cannot change these locations. The GSKit must also be installed into its default location. (The IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit) enables you to use SSL security on Windows and UNIX systems.)

WebSphere MQ also writes the following files to /usr during the installation:

• Soft-links are written to /usr/bin, linking to WebSphere MQ executable files in /opt/mqm/bin.

• Soft-links are written to /usr/include, linking to include files in /opt/mqm/inc.

• Soft-links are written to /usr/lib, linking to WebSphere MQ libraries in /opt/mqm/lib.

• A message catalog is written to /usr/lib/locale.

• Man pages are written to /usr/share/man, if you choose to install them.
