Environment variables after installation

On distributed systems, you must ensure that your environment is set up correctly for working with WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker. If you have installed on z/OS, see Customizing the z/OS environment.

On Windows, environment variables PATH, INCLUDE, and LIB are updated by the installation program; the exact updates made depend on the components that you have installed and the directories into which you have installed them. You do not have to take any further action on this platform.

On Linux and UNIX systems, the installation program does not update variables. Sample profile files are provided with WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker, and you must check their content to ensure the variables are set correctly for your environment before you use the product or configure any resources. More details about the variables are provided in Are the UNIX environment variables set correctly?

The path and filename of the profile is dependent on your operating system:

For AIX: usr/opt/mqsi/sample/profiles/profile.aix

For HP-UX: /opt/mqsi/sample/profiles/profile.hpux

For Linux: opt/mqsi/sample/profiles/profile.lnx

For Solaris: /opt/mqsi/sample/profiles/profile.sol

Check the readme file (readme.html) to ensure you have the latest version of the profile.

Start of changeIf you are running on RedHat Enterprise Linux AS3.0 or later, or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) Version 9 or later, on either Linux for Intel or Linux for zSeries, you must add the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to the profile before you run it. If you do not do this on affected systems, any attempt to start a broker will fail with abend BIP7064S. Insert this line into profile.lnx:End of change

Start of change
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
End of change

Start of changeWhen you have checked the file contents and made any required changes, run the profile to set the environment.End of change
