IBM MQ Debian components for Linux Ubuntu systems

You can select the components that you require when you install IBM® MQ.

Important: See IBM MQ license information for details of what each purchase of IBM MQ entitles you to install.

Table 1 shows the components that are available when installing an IBM MQ server or client on a Linux® Ubuntu system using the Debian installer:

Table 1. IBM MQ Debian components for Linux Ubuntu systems
Component	Description	Debian package name
Runtime	Contains files that are common to both server and client installations. Note: ibmmq-runtime component must be installed.	ibmmq-runtime
Server	You can use the server to run queue managers on your system and connect to other systems over a network. Provides messaging and queuing services to applications, and support for IBM MQ client connections.	ibmmq-server
Standard Client	The IBM MQ MQI client is a small subset of IBM MQ, without a queue manager, that uses the queue manager and queues on other (server) systems. It can be used only when the system it is on is connected to another system that is running a full server version of IBM MQ. The client and the server can be on the same system if required.	ibmmq-client
SDK	The SDK is required for compiling applications. It includes sample source files, and the bindings (files .H, .LIB, .DLL, and others), that you need to develop applications to run on IBM MQ.	ibmmq-sdk
Sample programs	The sample application programs are needed if you want to check your IBM MQ installation using the verification procedures.	ibmmq-samples
Java messaging	The files needed for messaging using Java (includes Java Message Service).	ibmmq-java
Man pages	UNIX man pages, in U.S. English, for: control commands MQI calls MQSC commands	ibmmq-man
Java JRE	A Java Runtime Environment that is used by those parts of IBM MQ that are written in Java.	ibmmq-jre
Message Catalogs	For available languages, see the table of message catalogs that follows.
IBM Global Security Kit	IBM Global Security Kit V8 Certificate and TLS, Base Runtime.	ibmmq-gskit
Telemetry Service	MQ Telemetry supports the connection of Internet Of Things (IOT) devices (that is, remote sensors, actuators and telemetry devices) that use the IBM MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. The telemetry service, which is also know as the MQXR service, enables a queue manager to act as an MQTT server, and communicate with MQTT client apps. Note: The telemetry service is only available on Linux for System x (64 bit) and Linux for IBM Z®. The Eclipse Paho project, and MQTT.org, have free downloads of the latest telemetry clients and samples for a range of programming languages. Use these resources to help you write the MQTT client apps that IOT devices use to communicate with MQTT servers. See also Installation considerations for MQ Telemetry.	ibmmq-xrservice
IBM MQ Explorer	Use IBM MQ Explorer to administer and monitor resources on Linux x86-64 systems. Also available using a stand-alone installer from MS0T.	ibmmq-explorer
Managed File Transfer	MQ Managed File Transfer transfers files between systems in a managed and auditable way, regardless of file size or the operating systems used. For information about the function of each component, see Managed File Transfer product options.	ibmmq-ftagent ibmmq-ftbase ibmmq-ftlogger ibmmq-ftservice ibmmq-fttools
Advanced Message Security	Provides a high level of protection for sensitive data flowing through the IBM MQ network, while not impacting the end applications. You must install this component on all IBM MQ installations that host queues you want to protect. You must install the IBM Global Security Kit component on any IBM MQ installation that is used by a program that puts or gets messages to or from a protected queue, unless you are using only Java client connections. You must install the Java JRE component to install this component.	ibmmq-ams
AMQP Service	Install this component to make AMQP channels available. AMQP channels support MQ Light APIs. You can use AMQP channels to give AMQP applications access to the enterprise-level messaging facilities provided by IBM MQ.	ibmmq-amqp
REST API and Console	Adds HTTP based administration for IBM MQ through the REST API and IBM MQ Console.	ibmmq-web
IBM MQ Bridge to Salesforce	Install the IBM MQ Bridge to Salesforce to configure the connections to Salesforce and IBM MQ, then run the command runmqsfb to subscribe to events from Salesforce and publish them to an IBM MQ network. Note: The IBM MQ Bridge to Salesforce is available only on Linux for System x (64 bit).	ibmmq-sfbridge
IBM MQ Bridge to blockchain	Install the IBM MQ Bridge to blockchain to send queries and updates to, and receive responses from your blockchain network. Note: The IBM MQ Bridge to blockchain is available only on Linux for System x (64 bit).	ibmmq-bcbridge
