Methods of Installing the WebSphere MQ client

 

There are two different versions of the WebSphere MQ for Windows client installation code, one on the WebSphere MQ Server CD, and one on the WebSphere MQ Client CD. Both versions install the same files.

We can use the WebSphere MQ Server CD to install the WebSphere MQ client on any client machine.

We can use the WebSphere MQ Client CD to install the WebSphere MQ client on any client machine that does not have the WebSphere MQ server installed.

You might use the WebSphere MQ Client CD to install the WebSphere MQ client, then subsequently decide to use that machine for the WebSphere MQ server. In this situation, use the WebSphere MQ Server CD to install the WebSphere MQ server and to reinstall the WebSphere MQ client.

To install the WebSphere MQ client, the following installation methods are available:

• All methods that use the WebSphere MQ Server CD. See WebSphere MQ Server installation methods

  For the interactive installation, select the Custom installation type (Launchpad instructions), and select the Windows client feature. No other interactive method will install the client.

• Methods that use the WebSphere MQ Client CD:

  • See the WebSphere MQ Clients book.
