AIX client: hardware and software required
This section outlines the hardware and software requirements for the WebSphere MQ client for AIX.
Hardware
The WebSphere MQ client for AIX runs on any machine that supports the AIX V5.2 or AIX V5.3 operating systems capable of running 64-bit programs whether from IBM or other vendors. There must be enough random access memory (RAM) and disk storage for the programming prerequisites specified later in this section, the WebSphere MQ client, the access methods, and the application programs.
Software
The following are the software prerequisites for the WebSphere MQ client for AIX. Minimum supported levels are shown. Later levels, if any, are supported unless otherwise stated.
Operating system
- AIX V5.2 (64-bit).
- AIX V5.3 (64 bit).
Use the oslevel command to determine the level of the operating system you are running.
Connectivity
- TCP/IP (as part of the base operating system)
- IBM Communications Server for AIX, V6.1 (for SNA LU 6.2 connectivity)
Optional software
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
If you want to use the WebSphere MQ SSL support, we need the IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit), V7, which is supplied with WebSphere MQ.
Compilers for WebSphere MQ client applications on an AIX system
The following compilers are supported:
- IBM Software Developer's Kit (SDK), Java 2 Technology Edition for AIX, V1.4.2
- IBM C for AIX, V5.0
- IBM C for AIX, V6.0
- IBM C for AIX, V7.0
- IBM Visual Age C++ Professional for AIX, V5.0
- IBM Visual Age C++ Professional for AIX, V6.0
- IBM Visual Age C++ Professional for AIX, V7.0
- IBM COBOL Set for AIX, V2 (for 32-bit applications only)
- Micro Focus Server Express V4.0
