IBM GC34-5557-00 manual Changing the National Language, Installing on AIX

Installing on AIX

Installation of the MQSeries for AIX V5.1 client will fail if a file system mounted as /usr/lpp/mqm is detected. If you are migrating from an earlier version and a file system exists for this directory, you will need to do one of the following things before installing the MQSeries for AIX V5.1 client. Either:

vUninstall your existing MQSeries client, and either delete the file system or move it to the new install path of /usr/mqm

or

vMove the old file system of /usr/lpp/mqm to the new installation path of /usr/mqm and create a symbolic link from the old path to the new by issuing the following command:

ln -s /usr/mqm /usr/lpp/mqm

If you uninstall your existing client and either delete or move your existing file system, you can then install the MQSeries for AIX V5.1 client as described in ªCustom Installationº on page 61 or ªEasy Installationº on page 60.

However, if you move the old file system to the new installation path, you should then perform the migration installation described in ªMigrating from an Earlier Version of MQSeries for AIXº on page 62.

Note: If you have already symbolically linked a file system to /usr/lpp/mqm, installation of the MQSeries for AIX V5.1 client will destroy the contents of the file system and the symbolic link, leaving an empty file system. If this happens, you are advised to uninstall your existing MQSeries client and either delete the file system or relink it to the new install path of /usr/mqm, before installing the MQSeries for AIX V5.1 client.

The installation process for the MQSeries for AIX V5.1 client creates a symbolic link from the old install path (/usr/lpp/mqm) to the new install path (/usr/mqm). Therefore any existing scripts or makefiles that reference the old path are still valid.

Changing the National Language

The easy installation and the custom installation default to the national language that was specified when your operating system was installed.

It is possible to install the MQSeries client software so that the online help and messages are in another national language. Use SMIT as follows to install the message catalog for another national language:

1.Type smit
