Results
This task has installed WebSphere MQ for use as the JMS provider with WebSphere Application Server.What to do next
You can configure JMS resources to be provided by WebSphere MQ, by using the WebSphere administrative console to define WebSphere MQ resources.
After installing WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Application Server on the same host, you should only service WebSphere MQ with its CSD updates, and separately service WebSphere Application Server with its fix packs. This approach helps to avoid potential failures if you later decide to uninstall WebSphere Application Server fix packs. Also, if you apply a fix pack to WebSphere Application Server, specify not to update the Embedded Messaging feature.
