  • 1.  MQ Client Vs redistributable Client

    Posted Fri July 06, 2018 02:14 PM
    Hi All

    Recently i got an request from one of user where he was actually looking to have ldd/libraries used with out being client installed on the his system . I came across this redistributable Client and advised to use this one but there are few questions raised around using this one .

    1) As redistributable Client is not install-able which can be downloaded and copied to anywhere we need to have client required . Question here is can this be added as an package internally and installed on the windows box or Linux where ever is required ? 

    2)User has a requirement to use MQ client 7.5.0.3 which also need to be required to be added to package can we add this one ? 

    3)Main importantly user looking to have everything packaged as per company policy and need to be installed on all firm servers when ever required with out downloading . question is can we have client added as package because we keep getting updates can new updates can be added as package to the existing one  ?

    At Version 7.5 there is no redistributable and the whole MQClient needs to be installed.
    Redistributables are only available since MQ V8 (mostly Java) and MQ V9 (other languages C).
    Dot.Net managed always required the dot net dll to be packaged. Unmanaged required the full client.
    Hope this helps and answers your quiestion

    Hello! 

    The following webcast has a very comprehensive comparison of MQ Client vs MQ Redistributable files 

    Installation scenarios for MQ 8.0 and 9.0 in Unix and Windows 
    IBM Webcast Replay: Installation scenarios for MQ 8.0 and 9.0 in Linux and Windows - United States 
    This WebSphere Support Technical Exchange presents different installation scenarios for IBM MQ 8.0 and 9.0 for Linux and Windows, including installing all components, only the client, only MQ Explorer and using redistributable files. 

    I hope that this is helpful! 

    Thank you for using IBM!
