WebSphere MQ

WebSphere MQ 9.1 Installation

Basically the installation steps are almost the same for all versions. You can follow below steps for 9.1 and other versions as well:

  • Download WebSphere MQ 9.1 using your Passport Advantage Account:
  • Untar the package using tar -zxvf command
  • Navigate to the directory where you unpacked WebSphere MQ binary, and accept the license as below:
./mqlicense.sh -accept
  • Execute the rpm command as root to install below packages. Note that I have not specified the exact package names, but replace the version with *, so that the instructions work for other MQ versions as well.
rpm -ivh MQSeriesRuntime-*.rpm MQSeriesServer-*.rpm
rpm -ivh MQSeriesClient-*.rpm
rpm -ivh MQSeriesJava-*.rpm
rpm -ivh MQSeriesJRE-*.rpm
rpm -ivh MQSeriesMan-*.rpm
rpm -ivh MQSeriesSamples-*.rpm
rpm -ivh MQSeriesSDK-*.rpm
rpm -ivh MQSeriesGSKit-*.rpm
rpm -ivh MQSeriesWeb*.rpm
  • One thing to note is that MQ 9.1 comes with a web GUI, so the last package in the list i.e MQSeriesWeb*.rpm will not be available in older versions.
  • You can check the version of MQ Installed using below command:
/opt/mqm/bin/dspmqver
  • Last step is to enroll the MQ as your default installation and tag it with a name
/opt/mqm/bin/setmqinst -i -n Installation1
