Maintain the WebSphere MQ resource adapter
The WebSphere MQ resource adapter is used by all applications that perform JMS messaging with the WebSphere MQ messaging provider. The WebSphere MQ resource adapter is usually updated automatically when you apply WAS fix packs, but if we have previously manually updated the resource adapter manually update the configuration to ensure that maintenance is applied correctly.
Apply a WAS fix pack does not automatically update the version of the WebSphere MQ resource adapter used by servers on nodes where the WebSphere MQ resource adapter has previously been manually updated.
Procedure
- To migrate the configuration of all servers in the cell to use the latest version of the WebSphere MQ resource adapter contained in the WAS installation, see Ensure that servers use the latest available WebSphere MQ resource adapter maintenance level.
- If you want a specific version of the WebSphere MQ resource adapter to be installed, and the version you require is not available in a WAS fix pack, or an interim fix, see Install a specific maintenance level of the WebSphere MQ resource adapter.
