Installing
Installation information for WebSphere® Message Broker is provided in the WebSphere Message Broker Installation Guide, which is available in the WebSphere Message Broker information center.
See Finding the latest information for details about how to check that you have access to the most recent information available.
The Installation Guide defines hardware and software requirements for WebSphere Message Broker and its corequisite and prerequisite products. It describes the tasks that you must complete to prepare for installation, to install WebSphere Message Broker, and to verify the installation. When you have completed installation, use this information center to create and configure your components and brokers.
If product fixes or updates are made available, refer to the following topics for information about how to apply these changes:
- Applying service to the Broker component
- Applying service to the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit
- Applying service to the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer
- Applying service to WebSphere Message Broker Administration for WebSphere Application Server
You do not have to apply service to the runtime components and the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit at the same time; all Version 8.0 fix pack levels are compatible with all other fix pack levels. However, if a fix pack delivers additional nodes, you must ensure that the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit and the brokers to which you deploy the message flows that include these nodes are at the same fix pack level, and that you have set the correct function level of those brokers by using the -f flag on the mqsichangebroker command.
