IBM MQ components for Linux systems

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

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

Table 1. IBM MQ components for Linux systems
Component	Description	Component name
Runtime	Contains files that are common to both server and client installations. Note: MQSeriesRuntime component must be installed.	MQSeriesRuntime
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.	MQSeriesServer
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.	MQSeriesClient
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.	MQSeriesSDK
Sample programs	The sample application programs are needed if you want to check your IBM MQ installation using the verification procedures.	MQSeriesSamples
Java messaging	The files needed for messaging using Java (includes Java Messaging Service).	MQSeriesJava
Man pages	UNIX man pages, in U.S. English, for: control commands MQI calls MQSC commands	MQSeriesMan
Java JRE	A Java Runtime Environment that is used by those parts of IBM MQ that are written in Java.	MQSeriesJRE
Message Catalogs	For available languages, see the table of message catalogs that follows.
IBM Global Security Kit	IBM Global Security Kit V8 Certificate and SSL, or TLS, Base Runtime. You must install the Java JRE component to install this component.	MQSeriesGSKit
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 (MQXR) service enables a queue manager to act as an MQTT server, and communicate with MQTT client apps. The telemetry service is only available on Linux for System x (64 bit) and Linux for IBM Z® . A set of MQTT clients is available from the Eclipse Paho downloads page. These sample clients help you write your own MQTT client apps that IOT devices use to communicate with MQTT servers. See also Installing IBM MQ Telemetry.	MQSeriesXRService
MQ Explorer	Use MQ Explorer to administer and monitor resources on Linux x86-64 systems. Also available on x86 via a standalone installer from MS0T.	MQSeriesExplorer
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 IBM MQ Managed File Transfer product options.	MQSeriesFTAgent MQSeriesFTBase MQSeriesFTLogger MQSeriesFTService MQSeriesFTTools
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.	MQSeriesAMS
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. You must install the AMQP Service component by using the IBM MQ V8.0.0.4 manufacturing refresh, not the V8.0.0.4 Fix Pack. You cannot install the AMQP component on a version of the queue manager earlier than V8.0.0.4. From IBM MQ 8.0.0, Fix Pack 5, you can use the AMQP Service component on the IBM MQ Appliance.
