Handling installation failures for IBM i

If the installation of IBM MQ Server or Client for IBM i fails, you must remove the installed and partially installed objects before attempting reinstallation.


Procedure

  1. Delete installed options using DLTLICPGM LICPGM(5725A49)OPTION(*ALL).
  2. Delete partially installed options by deleting the QMQM library (and the QMQMSAMP libraries if necessary).
  3. Delete the IFS directory /QIBM/ProdData/mqm and its subdirectories using the EDTF command, for example: EDTF STMF('/QIBM/ProdData') and select option 9 for the mqm directory. If the installation of IBM MQ Java fails, remove the partly installed objects before attempting reinstallation:
    1. Delete the QMQMJAVA library.
    2. Delete the IFS directory /QIBM/ProdData/mqm/java and its subdirectories using the EDTF command, for example:
      EDTF STMF ('/QIBM/ProdData/mqm')
      
      Select option 9 against the Java directory.
