This collection of
topics tells you how to install the WebSphere® MQ for Linux® client. If you want to install the WebSphere MQ server
see Installing a WebSphere MQ server.
Before you start the installation procedure, make sure you have prepared
your system as described in Preparing for installation.
There are three types of
WebSphere MQ clients:
- Standard client
- This is the standard WebSphere MQ client.
Use this client if you do not require Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support.
You can install this client from the Client CD-ROM or the Server CD-ROM.
- Client with SSL
- This is the standard WebSphere MQ client
with additional code to allow you to use SSL support. You can install the
client with SSL from either the client or the server CD.
- Extended Transactional Client
- This is additional code to allow a client application within the same
unit of work to:
- To put messages to, and get messages from, queues that are owned by the
queue manager to which it is connected.
- To update the resources of a resource manager other than a WebSphere MQ queue
manager.
You can only install this from the server CD.
For more information about SSL, see the
WebSphere MQ
Security book.
To install a WebSphere MQ server, see Installing a WebSphere MQ server.
If you want to install the client on the same machine as a WebSphere MQ server,
see Installing a client on the same machine as a server.
