Error description

  • Windows silent installation .ini files incorrectly list some

    ****************************************************************
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
    The ini files for silent installation on Windows contains
    explanatory text about what features are "IBM MQ [Advanced]" and
    which are "IBM MQ [Basic]", which had not been updated in line
    with the latest product feature set.
    
    The sample .ini files incorrectly described certain MFT features
    as requiring MQ Advanced licensing.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Updated the Windows silent installation .ini files to make
    MFT_Logger, MFT_Agent and MFT_Tools shown as features of "IBM MQ
    [Basic]" rather than "IBM MQ [Advanced]"
