Installation

 

SOAP/WebSphere MQ is installable as part of the standard WebSphere MQ install mechanism. It is included as part of the "Java Messaging and SOAP Transport" install option in both the server and client installation CDs.

On Windows the binaries, command files, DLLs and executables are installed into the mqmtop/bin directory. The SOAP/WebSphere MQ jar files and external jar files used by SOAP/WebSphere MQ are installed into mqmtop/java/lib. The samples (including installation verification test (IVT)) are installed to mqmtop/tools/soap/samples. Installation on Windows includes registration to the Microsoft .NET Global Assembly Cache of various .DLL and .EXE files.

On Unix systems, the SOAP/WebSphere MQ shell scripts are installed into the mqmtop/bin directory. These are symbolically linked to the /usr/bin directory according to the usual WebSphere MQ convention. On these platforms there are no SOAP/WebSphere MQ executables or shared libraries. The jar files are installed into mqmtop/java/lib. The samples (including IVT) are installed to mqmtop/samp/soap.
