IBM GC34-5557-00 manual Planning to Install MQSeries Clients, Applications on Version 5 Clients

Chapter 6. Planning to Install MQSeries Clients

This chapter provides a summary of the hardware and software required to run the following MQSeries clients:

vMQSeries client for AIX

vMQSeries client for DOS

vMQSeries client for HP-UX

vMQSeries client for OS/2 Warp

vMQSeries client for Sun Solaris

vMQSeries client for Windows 3.1

vMQSeries client for Windows 95 and Windows 98

vMQSeries client for Windows NT®

You can install all of these clients from the MQSeries Client CD. The Client CD also contains other MQSeries components that you might need to install on a workstation other than the server.

Applications on Version 5 Clients

A Version 5 client can connect to all queue managers, non-Version 5 as well as Version 5. If you are connecting to a non-Version 5 queue manager, you cannot use the new Version 5.1 features and structures in your MQSeries application on the client.

AIX Client: Hardware and Software Required

This section outlines the hardware and software requirements for an MQSeries client for AIX.

Hardware

An MQSeries client can run on an IBM RISC System/6000®, capable of running AIX Version 4.2 or later. Any other trademarked AIX system can be used, whether from IBM or other vendors such as Bull, Zenith, or Motorola. There must be enough random access memory (RAM) and disk storage for the programming prerequisites (below), the MQSeries client, the access methods, and the application programs.

Software

The following are prerequisites for MQSeries applications running on an AIX client.

Minimum supported software levels are shown. Later levels, if any, will be supported unless otherwise stated.
