Installation directories for IBM MQ classes for Java

IBM MQ classes for Java files and samples are installed in different locations according to platform. The location of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that is installed with IBM MQ also varies according to the platform.


Installation directories for IBM MQ classes for Java files

Table 1 shows where the IBM MQ classes for Java files are installed.

Platform Directory
AIX MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/java/lib
  /QIBM/ProdData/mqm/java/lib
Linux MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/java/lib
Windows MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH\java\lib
z/OS MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/mqm/V8R0M0/java /lib

MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed.


Installation directories for samples

Some sample applications, such as the Installation Verification Programs (IVPs), are supplied with IBM MQ. Table 2 shows where the sample applications are installed. The IBM MQ classes for Java samples are in a subdirectory called wmqjava. The PCF samples are in a subdirectory called pcf.

Platform Directory
AIX MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/wmqjava/
IBM i /QIBM/ProdData/mqm/java/samples
Linux MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/samp/wmqjava/
Windows MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH\tools\wmqjava\
z/OS MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/mqm/V8R0M0/java/samples

MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed.


Installation directories for JRE

The IBM MQ classes for JMS require a Java 7 (or above) Java Runtime Environment (JRE). A suitable JRE is installed with IBM MQ. Table 3 shows where this JRE is installed. To run Java programs such as the provided samples, using this JRE, either explicitly invoke JRE_LOCATION/bin/java or add JRE_LOCATION/bin to the PATH environment (or equivalent) for the platform, where JRE_LOCATION is the directory given in Table 3.

Platform Directory
AIX MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/java/jre
IBM i /QIBM/ProdData/mqm/java/jre
Linux MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/java/jre
Windows MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH\java\jre
z/OS MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH/mqm/V8R0M0/java/jre

MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH represents the high-level directory in which IBM MQ is installed.
