Install WebSphere MQ

 

This collection of topics tells you how to install the WebSphere MQ for Linux client. If you want to install the WebSphere MQ server see Installing a WebSphere MQ server.

Before you start the installation procedure, make sure you have prepared your system as described in Preparing for installation.

There are three types of WebSphere MQ clients:

Standard client

This is the standard WebSphere MQ client. If you do not want to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support, omit the following packages from the install commands:

Linux (x86 platform)

gsk7bas-7.0-3.18.i386.rpm (32-bit and 64-bit installations)

gsk7bas64-7.0-3.18.x86-64.rpm (64-bit installations)

MQSeriesKeyMan-6.0.1-0.i386.rpm (32-bit installations)

MQSeriesKeyMan-6.0.1-0.x86-64.rpm (64-bit installations)

Linux (zSeries platform)

gsk7bas-7.0-3.18.s390.rpm (32-bit and 64-bit installations)

gsk7bas64-7.0-3.18.s390x.rpm (64-bit installations)

MQSeriesKeyMan-6.0.1-0.s390.rpm (32-bit installations)

MQSeriesKeyMan-6.0.1-0.s390x.rpm (64-bit installations)

Linux (POWER™ platform)

gsk7bas64-7.0-3.15.ppc64.rpm

gsk7bas-7.0-3.15.ppc32.rpm

MQSeriesKeyMan-6.0.0-0.ppc64.rpm

We can install this client from the Client CD-ROM or the Server CD-ROM.

Client with SSL

This is the standard WebSphere MQ client with additional code to allow you to use SSL support. We can install the client with SSL from either the client or the server CD.

Extended Transactional Client

This is additional code to allow a client application within the same unit of work to:

  • To put messages to, and get messages from, queues that are owned by the queue manager to which it is connected.

  • To update the resources of a resource manager other than a WebSphere MQ queue manager.

We can only install this from the server CD.

For more information about SSL, see the WebSphere MQ Security book.

To install a WebSphere MQ server, see Installing a WebSphere MQ server.

If you want to install the client on the same machine as a WebSphere MQ server, see Installing a client on the same machine as a server.
