Before you start the installation procedure, make sure that you have
prepared your system as described in Preparing for installation
This installation procedure uses the swinstall program,
enabling you to choose which components you want to install. The components
(or filesets) are listed in WMQ Components; you must
install at least the Runtime, Base, and Client components.
Log in as root.
Insert the Client CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Mount the CD-ROM drive or the drive from which you are installing.
Accept the licence:
Change directory to the location of the mounted CD-ROM or your
install location. If you want to install the client with SSL support, change
directory to MQClientwithSSL, otherwise, change directory
to MQClient.
Run the mqlicense script
(for example ./mqlicense.sh).
The license
is displayed. If you accept the license, you can continue the installation.
If
you are performing a silent or remote install, you can type ./mqlicense.sh
-accept to accept the license without being displayed.
Use the following command to start the installation procedure:
swinstall -s src_dir MQSERIES
where src_dir is
the source directory for the installation files. If you do this, all components
of the WebSphere® MQ
client are installed (including message catalogs for all available languages).
If
the files on your CD-ROM appear in uppercase with a ";1" suffix, use this
name for the depot.
If you want to install all WebSphere MQ components,
select MQSERIES, then select Actions > Install.
If you do not want to install all components, select MQSERIES:
Select Actions > Open Item .
Highlight the components you require (use the Ctrl key
for multiple selections) and select Mark for install from the Actions
menu. (The gsk7bas and gsk7bas64 fileset
for the IBM® Global
Security Kit is automatically selected).
Select go up and press Enter to return to the
product list. MQSERIES is marked as Partial if
you did not select all the components.
Select Actions > Install. The log file tells
you if there are any problems that need fixing.
When you have fixed any problems, press OK to install. You
are informed when the installation is complete.
