This topic describes how to install WebSphere® MQ Version 6.0 directly from the WebSphere MQ Server CD.
This information covers topics such as preparing for installation and verifying your installation, as well as the installation process itself. If you already have an installation of WebSphere MQ, and are migrating to WebSphere MQ Version 6.0 see Migrating to WebSphere MQ Version 6.0 before carrying out the installation process.
WebSphere MQ can be installed as a server or a client. A WebSphere MQ server is an installation of a queue manager that provides queueing services to zero or more clients and to zero or more queue managers. All the WebSphere MQ objects, for example queues, exist only on the queue manager machine (the WebSphere MQ server machine), and not the client. A WebSphere MQ server can also support local WebSphere MQ applications.
A WebSphere MQ client is a component that allows an application running on one system to communicate with a queue manager running on another system. The output from the call is sent back to the client, which passes it back to the application. A WebSphere MQ client can be installed on its own, on a separate machine from the base product and server.
For an introduction to WebSphere MQ concepts and objects, see the WebSphere MQ System Administration Guide.
For information about client support in general, see WebSphere MQ Clients.
You can use the WebSphere MQ Server CD to install the WebSphere MQ server or the WebSphere MQ client. If you want to install the WebSphere MQ server and the WebSphere MQ client on the same machine, you must use the WebSphere MQ Server CD.
This chapter describes how to install the WebSphere MQ Server using the WebSphere MQ for Windows® CD. If you wish to install the WebSphere MQ Client see Installing the WebSphere MQ Client.
