Platform support for extended transactional clients

Extended transactional clients are available for all Multiplatforms that support a base client. The clients are not available for z/OS®.

A client application that is using an extended transactional client can connect to a queue manager of the following IBM® MQ 9.0 products only:

  • [AIX]IBM MQ for AIX®
  • [HP-UX]IBM MQ for HP-UX
  • [IBM i]IBM MQ for IBM i
  • [Linux]IBM MQ for Linux®
  • [Solaris]IBM MQ for Solaris
  • [Windows]IBM MQ for Windows

[z/OS]Although there are no extended transactional clients that run on z/OS, a client application that is using an extended transactional client can connect to a queue manager that runs on z/OS.

For each platform, the hardware and software requirements for the extended transactional client are the same as those requirements for the IBM MQ base client. A programming language is supported by an extended transactional client if it is supported by the IBM MQ base client and by the transaction manager you are using.

For information about the external transaction managers for all platforms, see System Requirements for IBM MQ.
