[Version 5.0.2 and later]Tips for installing the embedded messaging feature

When installing IBM WebSphere Application Server, you can install the embedded messaging feature (which is selected by default) to use as the Java Message Service (JMS) provider. To install the embedded messaging feature successfully, you must complete several other actions first as described in the installation procedure. You must consider whether you also want to use WebSphere MQ on the same host. On Linux and UNIX-based platforms, you must define the groups and the user required to support the embedded messaging feature.

You can either complete the required actions before installing the WebSphere Application Server product, or deselect the embedded messaging feature, which installs the WebSphere Application Server product without embedded messaging.

If you already have WebSphere MQ installed, you can configure it as the JMS provider. Otherwise, you can install the embedded messaging feature, the WebSphere MQ product, or another JMS provider later, after you install the WebSphere Application Server product.

The WebSphere Application Server embedded messaging feature provides a JMS provider that supports both queues (for point-to-point messaging) and topics (for publish and subscribe messaging). You can install the WebSphere Application Server with the embedded messaging feature on the same host with the WebSphere MQ product. To support this combination, several WebSphere MQ product features must be at a certain level.

After installing the WebSphere Application Server product with the embedded messaging feature, you can install the WebSphere MQ product and use it as the JMS provider instead.

This topic provides an index to tips for installing and migrating the embedded messaging feature that are described in Platform-specific tips for installing and migrating.
