Installing a WebSphere MQ client and server system

The following CDs are supplied with WebSphere MQ:

WebSphere MQ Server CD for each server platform

Each CD contains the components that can be installed on a server machine. These components include the WebSphere MQ client for the same platform as the server.

WebSphere MQ Client CDs

A set of CDs containing the base client components that can be installed on a client machine for each of the following platforms:
CD number Platform
1 AIX
2 HP-UX
3

Linux (x86 platform)

Linux (POWER platform)

Linux (zSeries platform)

4 Solaris
5 Windows
For Solaris and HP-UX, the CD contains, in two separate directories, the following sets of client components:

  • The client components without the WebSphere MQ SSL support

  • The client components with the WebSphere MQ SSL support

Only one set of client components is supplied for Windows, and this set contains all the client components that are needed to use the Windows client with or without the WebSphere MQ SSL support.

For AIX and Linux, we can choose whether to install SSL components at installation time.

WebSphere MQ extended transactional clients CD

A CD containing the extended transactional function for clients on all supported platforms.

To install WebSphere MQ on a server machine, use the Server CD for your platform. For installation instructions, see the Quick Beginnings book for your platform.

To install WebSphere MQ on a client machine, use the Client CD that contains the client components for your platform. For installation instructions, see:

To install the WebSphere MQ extended transactional client on a platform, first install the WebSphere MQ base client. We can then install the extended transactional function by using the WebSphere MQ Extended Transactional Clients CD-ROM. If you want to install the extended transactional function from an installation image that you have downloaded, replace references to the CD-ROM in this chapter by references to the directory containing the installation image.

After you have installed an extended transactional client on a UNIX system, use the setmqcap control command to declare the number of processors for which you have purchased license units. For information about how to use the setmqcap command, see the WebSphere MQ System Administration Guide. On a Windows system, you do not need to issue the setmqcap command because you are asked during the installation of the extended transactional function whether you have purchased sufficient license units.

It is possible to install a WebSphere MQ client on the same machine as a WebSphere MQ server by using the appropriate Server CD, as explained in Installing WebSphere MQ clients on the same machine as the server.
