To install and configure MQSeries for use with the extended messaging service, complete the following steps:

  1. Install MQSeries 5.2 server as described in the installation instructions provided with the MQSeries package. Do not install the MQSeries classes for java or jms from the shipped CD.
  2. Download and install the MQSeries 5.2 MA88 SupportPac (MQSeries classes for Java and MQSeries classes for Java Message Service) for your operating system from the following url:http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/txppacs/ma88.html
    For information about how to install the MA88 SupportPac, see the installation instructions for your operating system provided on the download Web page.
  3. If you want to use MQSeries - Publish/Subscribe support, you need to provide a Publish/Subscribe broker. You can do this by using MQSeries Integrator or the MA0C SupportPac.
    For more information about MQSeries Integrator, see the MQSeries Integrator Web site at http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/platforms/#integrator.

    If you want to use the MA0C SupportPac, complete the following substeps:

    1. Download the MQSeries 5.2 MA0C SupportPac (MQSeries - Publish/Subscribe) for your operating system from the following url:http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/txppacs/ma0c.html
    2. Install the MA0C SupportPac as described in the installation instructions for your operating system provided on the download Web page.
  4. Follow the MQSeries 5.2 instructions for verifying your installation setup.
  5. For UNIX platforms, add the following path to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:/mq_install_path/mqm/java/lib
  6. For AIX, as outlined in the MQSeries 5.2 readme.txt, modify the mqs.ini file and add the following attribute to all queue managers to be used with the WebSphere extended messaging service: IPCCBaseAddress=11
    In mqs.ini file (located in the /var/mqm directory) search for a line containing the following: QueueManager:

    The next line specifies the name of the queue manager. If this queue manager is used with the WebSphere extended messaging service add the above line as the last line of that queue manager's stanza. Repeat for other queue managers as needed.

  7. For UNIX platforms, copy the following files from the /mq_install_path/mqm/java/lib directory to the /WAS_HOME/lib/ext directory

    fscontext.jar
    providerutil.jar
    com.ibm.mq.jar
    com.ibm.mqjms.jar
  8. For UNIX platforms, copy the following files from the /mq_install_path/mqm/java/lib directory to the /WAS_HOME/bin directory

    libmqjbnd02.so
    libMQXAi01.so

This task has installed MQSeries and the supportpacs as required for use with the WebSphere extended messaging service.

You should next specify values for properties of the extended messaging service in its configuration file, as described in Configuring the extended messaging service.
