Connecting to WebSphere MQ from WebSphere Application Server running on Linux for pSeries
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
WebSphere Application Server V5.0.2 and higher can be installed on the Linux operating system on the pSeries platform. You can check which Linux distributions for pSeries are supported for a particular WebSphere Application Server level here:

http://www-306.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/latest/prereq.html

There is currently no WebSphere MQ client for Linux on pSeries, so how can you connect to a remote WebSphere MQ server from your WebSphere Application Server on Linux for pSeries?
 
Resolving the problem
To connect to a remote WebSphere MQ server from WebSphere Application Server on Linux for pSeries, you must install the Embedded Messaging client when you install WebSphere Application Server. It can be used to connect to the remote MQ server.

After the installation, check the MQ_INSTALL_ROOT and MQJMS_LIB_ROOT WebSphere environment variables:

  • Open the administrative console.
  • Expand Environment.
  • Select Manage WebSphere Variables
  • MQ_INSTALL_ROOT should be set to /opt/mqm
  • MQJMS_LIB_ROOT should be set to ${MQ_INSTALL_ROOT}/java/lib

Once these variables are set correctly, you can define your JMS connection factories and destinations to connect to WebSphere MQ under the WebSphere MQ JMS Provider.
