Installation Method

 

WebSphere MQ is supplied as a set of filesets that are installed using AIX's standard installation tools. The procedure below uses the system management interface tool (SMIT), but you may chose to use installp, geninstall or the Web-based System Manager. You may select which components you want to install. The components and filesets are listed in WebSphere MQ Components; install at least the Runtime, and Server components.
