The products listed here are not required, but might be useful.
Except where stated, these products are not supplied with WebSphere Message Broker.
Rational Agent Controller (RAC)
WebSphere Message Broker interacts with RAC Version 6.0.1 or
RAC Version 5.0.2.1 to provide message flow debugging. You can use either
version with Version 6 brokers; if you have Version 5 brokers in your broker
domain, you must install RAC 5.0.2.1 on those brokers.
RAC Version 6.0.1
is supplied with WebSphere Message Broker.

WebSphere
MQ Everyplace
® supports
messaging to, from, and between pervasive devices, including handheld devices
such as mobile phones and PDAs.

2.0.2.0 is supplied with WebSphere Message Broker.

WebSphere Message Broker,
install IBM Tivoli

Manager Version 2.1.
WebSphere Application Server
WebSphere
Application Server provides a secure, scalable, application infrastructure
that can ease administration in a single-server environment.
WebSphere Message Broker interacts
with WebSphere Application Server Version 5 and Version 6:
- WebSphere Message Broker requires a full WebSphere MQ product
and cannot function correctly with the WebSphere MQ product
that is included with WebSphere Application Server Version 5 (known as Embedded
Messaging).
You cannot install WebSphere MQ if
you already have WebSphere Application Server Version 5 installed, because
you cannot upgrade the Embedded Messaging component to the full WebSphere MQ product.
You must uninstall WebSphere Application Server Version 5, install WebSphere MQ,
and then reinstall WebSphere Application Server Version 5.
- WebSphere Message Broker is fully compatible with WebSphere
Application Server Version 6. You do not have to take any special action for
these products to interact successfully.
Adobe Flash Player
If you want to
launch the Quick Tour from the information center in the
Message Brokers Toolkit,
you must install Adobe Flash Player Version 6.0 or later. You can freely download
from the
Adobe
Web site an Adobe Flash
Player plug-in for the Web browsers that are supported by the
Message Brokers Toolkit.
Internet Protocol v4, v6
Internet Protocol
Version 4 (IPv4) and Version 6 (IPv6) are supported, and you can enter or
refer to either format wherever an IP address is relevant; for example, in
the
mqsichangeproperties command.
