Installing Managed File Transfer on IBM i

Install IBM MQ Managed File Transfer for IBM i by installing IBM MQ Java Messaging and Web Services server in its primary language, and installing additional options.

Before starting

Note: Installing the latest version of IBM MQ Managed File Transfer includes client capabilities.

We have completed planning the installation, obtained the installation DVD and set the system values, see Configure and tuning the operating system on IBM i.

We have installed the following components:

Program	Option	Description
5761JV1	14 or 15	Java SE 7 32 bit or Java SE 7 64 bit
5770SS1	39	International Components for Unicode
5724L26	*BASE	IBM MQ Java Messaging and Web Services

How to install base Managed File Transfer in its primary language, and install the other options.

We can install only one instance of Managed File Transfer for IBM i in each partition of our server.

Procedure

1. Sign on to the system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ special authority, for example QSECOFR.
2. Install Managed File Transfer for IBM i, V9.0 base product.

   RSTLICPGM LICPGM (5725M50) DEV (installation device) OPTION (*BASE) OUTPUT (*PRINT)
   

   where the parameters of RSTLICPGM are,

   LICPGM (5725M50)

   The product identifier for Managed File Transfer 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 Managed File Transfer for IBM i for the IBM MQ base 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 our system.

3. Optional: Install the tools using the command:

   RSTLICPGM LICPGM(5725M50) DEV(installation device) OPTION(2) OUTPUT(*PRINT)
   

   Where the parameters of RSTLICPGM are,

   LICPGM (5725M50)

   The product identifier for Managed File Transfer for IBM i.

   DEV (installation device)

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

   OPTION (2)

   Install the tools for Managed File Transfer for IBM i.

   OUTPUT (*PRINT)

   The output is printed with the spooled output of the job.

   Repeat step 3 for options 3 (agent) and 4 (services)

4. To ensure that the product has loaded correctly, issue the Display Software Resources (DSPSFWRSC) command and check that the licensed program 5725M50 is listed. If we have installed the base and the optional tools, you see:

   Resource
   ID       Option  Feature  Description
   5725M50  *BASE   5050     Managed File Transfer for IBM i
   5725M50  *BASE   2924     Managed File Transfer for IBM i
   5725M50  2       5050     Managed File Transfer for IBM i - Tools
   

5. Press F11, while viewing the Display Software Resources screen, and you see the library and version number of the products installed:

   Resource
   ID       Option  Feature  Type   Library  Release
   5725M50  *BASE   5050     *CODE  QMQMMFT  V9R1M0
   5725M50  *BASE   2924     *LNG   QMQMMFT  V9R1M0
   5725M50  2       5050     *CODE  MFTTOOL  V9R1M0
   

6. Do the post installation tasks of checking for updates, checking program authorities, and starting the Managed File Transfer subsystem.

What to do next

To see how the installation went in more detail, perform one or more of the following tasks:

• View the log file using the DSPJOBLOG command.
• View the spoolfile generated from the RSTLICPGM command.
