Configure multiple installations

Configure multiple installations

When using multiple installations on the same system, you must configure the installations and queue managers.

This information applies to UNIX, Linux , and Windows.

Connecting applications in a multiple installation environment
On UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems, if IBM® WebSphere MQ Version 7.1, or later, libraries are loaded, IBM MQ automatically uses the appropriate libraries without you needing to take any further action. IBM MQ uses libraries from the installation associated with the queue manager that the application connects to.
Change the primary installation
We can use the setmqinst command to set or unset an installation as the primary installation.
Associating a queue manager with an installation
When you create a queue manager, it is automatically associated with the installation that issued the crtmqm command. On UNIX, Linux, and Windows, we can change the installation associated with a queue manager using the setmqm command.
Finding installations of IBM MQ on a system
If we have multiple IBM MQ installations on a system, we can check which versions are installed and where they are.
