Installing MQSeries clients with other MQSeries products

This chapter describes how to install the client components for the following MQSeries products:

  • MQSeries for AT&T GIS UNIX V2.2.1
  • MQSeries for Compaq OpenVMS Alpha V5.1
  • MQSeries for SINIX and DC/OSx V2.2.1

If you are using a WebSphere MQ or MQSeries product not listed in this chapter, see Chapter 3, Installing client components from WebSphere MQ products and Version 5 MQSeries products (not z/OS).

You install the MQSeries client and server system in two parts: one for the MQSeries server on your server machine and one for the MQSeries client on your client machine. You can install the MQSeries client files from your MQSeries product, as explained here, or from an IBM Transaction Processing SupportPac.

WebSphere MQ for z/OS, MQSeries for Compaq NonStop Kernel, and MQSeries for VSE/ESA can accept connections from WebSphere MQ clients on other platforms. A WebSphere MQ client cannot run on z/OS, Compaq NonStop Kernel, or VSE/ESA, and the files for WebSphere MQ clients are not supplied with these products. If you want to connect WebSphere MQ clients with these platforms, install the WebSphere MQ clients from another WebSphere MQ product, or from an IBM Transaction Processing SupportPac (see Obtaining WebSphere MQ clients from IBM Transaction Processing SupportPacs).

If you are installing the MQSeries client for VM/ESA, you do not need the installation procedure detailed for the other platforms. See MQSeries client for VM/ESA.
