Installing the extended transactional function

Before you attempt to install the extended transactional function, end all WebSphere MQ activity on your system by stopping any of the following that might be running:

To install the extended transactional function, follow this procedure, which uses the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) installer.

  1. Log in as root.
  2. Insert the WebSphere MQ Extended Transactional Clients CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive and mount it on /cdrom, or a directory of your choice. If you use a different directory, remember to use the name of that directory, instead of /cdrom, in the instructions that follow.
  3. If you are installing on an Intel(R) machine, change to the /cdrom/linux_intel directory.

    If you are installing on a zSeries(R) machine, change to the /cdrom/linux_zseries directory

    If you are installing on a POWER(TM) machine, change to the /cdrom/linux_power directory

    Notes:
    1. If your machine does not have a locally attached CD-ROM drive, you can copy the contents of this directory from a machine that does have a CD-ROM drive to your machine using, for example, the ftp utility. You can then install the extended transactional function from your local copy of the directory.
    2. If the machine hosting the CD-ROM is an NFS server, you can mount the contents of the CD-ROM on a directory on your system using NFS.
  4. Run the mqlicense.sh script by entering the following command:
    ./mqlicense.sh

    To view the license in a format that can be read by a screen reader, enter the following command instead:

    ./mqlicense.sh -text_only

    The license is displayed. If you accept the license, you can continue the installation. If you do not accept the license, you cannot continue.

  5. Use the rpm -i command to install the package containing the extended transactional function:
