Install IBM MQ server on IBM i

Install the IBM MQ server in its primary language.

Before you begin

You have completed planning the installation, obtained the installation disks, and set the system values; see Set system values.

About this task

Install the IBM MQ server and force object conversion. Object conversion migrates objects from the older to the newer version. By performing it now, rather than when an object is first used, you avoid slowing down the first use of the upgraded product.

After following the optional step to pre-agree the license, the RSTLICPGM command runs without requiring any interactive input. Otherwise the license agreement is displayed for you to accept. See License requirements.

Procedure

1. Sign on to the system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ special authority, for example QSECOFR.
2. Optionally pre-agree the license terms and conditions by running the command,

   CALL PGM (QSYS/QLPACAGR) PARM ('5724H72' 'V8R0M0' '0000' 0)
   

   Where the parameters of PARM are,

   5724H72

   The product identifier for IBM i.

   V8R0M0

   The version, release, and modification level.

   0000

   The option number for the *BASE IBM MQ product option.

   0

   Unused error structure.

3. Install IBM MQ for IBM i, base product, and primary language.

   RSTLICPGM LICPGM (5724H72) DEV (installation device) OPTION (*BASE) OUTPUT (*PRINT)
   

   where the parameters of RSTLICPGM are,

   LICPGM (5724H72)

   The product identifier for IBM i.

   DEV (installation device)

   The device from which the product is to be loaded, typically an optical drive, for example, OPT01.

   OPTION (*BASE)

   Install the base IBM MQ for IBM i product.

   Unspecified parameters

   Unspecified parameters such as RSTOBJ (*ALL), revert to defaults. The command installs both IBM MQ and the language files for the primary language of your system. For installing additional languages see Install translated versions.

What to do next

Install any Progam Temporary Fixes (PTF) that have been issued.
