Installing the extended transactional function

Before you attempt to install the extended transactional function, end all WebSphere MQ activity on your system by stopping any of the following that might be running:

To install the extended transactional function, follow this procedure, which uses the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) installer.

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Insert the WebSphere MQ Extended Transactional Clients CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and mount it on /cdrom, or a directory of your choice. If you use a different directory, remember to use the name of that directory, instead of /cdrom, in the instructions that follow.

  3. If you are installing on an Intel machine, change to the /cdrom/linux_intel directory.

    If you are installing on a zSeries machine, change to the /cdrom/linux_zseries directory

    If you are installing on a POWER machine, change to the /cdrom/linux_power directory

    Notes:

    1. If your machine does not have a locally attached CD-ROM drive, we can copy the contents of this directory from a machine that does have a CD-ROM drive to your machine using, for example, the ftp utility. We can then install the extended transactional function from your local copy of the directory.

    2. If the machine hosting the CD-ROM is an NFS server, we can mount the contents of the CD-ROM on a directory on your system using NFS.

  4. Run the mqlicense.sh script by entering the following command: 

    ./mqlicense.sh

    To view the license in a format that can be read by a screen reader, enter the following command instead: 

    ./mqlicense.sh -text_only

    The license is displayed. If you accept the license, we can continue the installation. If you do not accept the license, we cannot continue.

  5. Use the rpm -i command to install the package containing the extended transactional function:

    • If you are installing on an Intel machine, enter the following command: 

      rpm -i MQSeriesTXClient-5.3.0-2.i386.rpm

    • If you are installing on a zSeries machine, enter the following command: 

      rpm -i MQSeriesTXClient-5.3.0-2.s390.rpm
