Installing WebSphere MQ 7.5 to coexist with MQ 7.0.1 and MQ 7.1 in Linux, and installing Fix Pack 7.5.0.3

Content

1) For MQ 8.0 or later, you can consult the related tutorial:
Installing WebSphere MQ 8.0 to coexist with MQ 7.0.1, 7.1 and 7.5 in Linux x86 64-bit, including Fix Pack 8.0.0.1

2) This technote builds on top of the following document:
Installing WebSphere MQ 7.1 to coexist with MQ 7.0.1.7 in Linux + applying fix pack 7.1.0.1

MQ 7.5 includes also Advanced Messaging Security (AMS) and Managed File Transfer. This document does NOT cover their installation. The scope is only for the MQ Server, MQ Explorer, JMS, Development toolkit and GSKit.

The minimum version of MQ 7.0 that allows coexistence is 7.0.1.6. Because, at the time of writing this techdoc, the latest Fix Pack was 7.0.1.9, then 7.0.1.9 is used in this document.

The "primary" installation will be MQ 7.0.1.9 and this techdoc shows you how to setup the environment to use MQ 7.0, MQ 7.1 and MQ 7.5.

The overall instructions apply also to other UNIX distributions: AIX, HP-UX and Solaris.

The chapters are:

Chapter 1: Installing MQ 7.5 side-by-side to MQ 7.0.1.9 and 7.1
Chapter 2: Need to run setmqenv to use MQ 7.5 commands
Chapter 3: Creating a queue manager under 7.5
Chapter 4: Remote access to the new MQ 7.5 queue manager
Chapter 5: Using MQ Explorer 7.5
Chapter 6: Migrating an MQ 7.0 queue manager to MQ 7.5
Chapter 7: Installing fix pack MQ 7.5.0.3 (New chapter, added in Feb 2014)
