Installing the extended transactional function

This section describes how to install the extended transactional function using the pkgadd command.

Note:
If you are using a screen reader, you might want to install the extended transactional function in unattended, or silent mode, so that we can accept the license without viewing it. See Unattended, or silent, installation for information about how to do this.

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:

  • WebSphere MQ applications

  • Queue managers and their associated listeners

To install the extended transactional function, follow this procedure:

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

    /cdrom/solaris/mqlicense.sh

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

    /cdrom/solaris/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.

  4. To start the installation process, enter the following command: 

    pkgadd -d /cdrom/solaris/mqs530.img
    A list containing only one installable package, mqm-txcli, is displayed.

  5. Enter

    1 or all.

  6. Answer

    y to all subsequent questions.

    When the installation completes successfully, the following message is displayed: 

    Installation of <mqm-txcli> was successful.

 

Unattended, or silent, installation

We can install the extended transactional function on a system without any interaction. This process is called an unattended, or silent, installation.

A script file,

silent.sh, is supplied in the /cdrom/solaris/silent directory. The script uses two other files,

admin and response, which are supplied in the same directory.

The script assumes that the WebSphere MQ Extended Transactional Clients CD-ROM is mounted on /cdrom, and it directs all screen output and log information to the file

/tmp/mq.install. If you want to change the script, copy the silent.sh, admin, and response files to a directory on your system, make the required changes, and run the script from that directory. When the installation is complete, check the log information for any errors.
