Overview

For updates to IBM MQ 9.2, you choose between Long Term Support (LTS) and Continuous Delivery (CD) releases. The continuous delivery releases incrementally build on the MQ 9.2 features, providing early, supported, access to the latest MQ capabilities. For more information, see the IBM MQ FAQ for Long Term Support and Continuous Delivery Releases .

The IBM MQ 9.2.1 CD release is delivered concurrently on Multiplatforms, z/OS and the MQ Appliance. For CD releases, Multiplatforms refers to AIX, Linux, and Windows. Each CD release is supported for one year from the date when it was first available. For IBM MQ 9.2.1, defect fixes are provided up to 03 December 2021.

Details of the fixes delivered in this release are here:

Downloading the release

You can download the release from the following locations:

• For Multiplatforms, provided your IBM ID is entitled, click a part number in the following table to download either the full release eAssembly, or any of the eImages that make up the full release. Alternatively, sign in to Passport Advantage then search for the part number you need.

  Also available (subject to entitlement) are the IBM MQ Advanced certified container (CJ8QUML) and the IBM Aspera fasp.io Gateway (CJ6CBML). Note that these two eAssemblies are delivered as Continuous Delivery images because of the pace of change in these areas, and because any given version of the certified container is supported for one year only (when used as part of an IBM MQ CD release) or 18 months only (when used as part of an IBM Cloud Pak for Integration release).

• If you install IBM MQ eAssembly images on a UNIX or Linux-based platform, you must use GNU tar (also known as gtar) to unpack any tar images.

• For z/OS, sign in to Shopz . Having signed in, there are two options:
  • Option 1: Order the features as a new product install.
  • Option 2: Apply PTFs to a previously installed release.
  Each of the PIDs in the following list has a Long Term Support and Continuous Delivery orderable feature. Use these PIDs to order the features as a new product install:
  • 5655-MQ9 - IBM MQ for z/OS
  • 5655-VU9 - IBM MQ for z/OS Value Unit Edition
  • 5655-AV1 - IBM MQ Advanced for z/OS Value Unit Edition. This is a bundle of MQ Advanced for z/OS and MQ for z/OS Value Unit Edition. Includes the MQ Advanced Message Security and MQ Managed File Transfer features plus the MQ Connector Pack.
  • 5655-AV9 - IBM MQ Advanced for z/OS. Provides the MQ Advanced Message Security and MQ Managed File Transfer features.
  To upgrade from a previous IBM MQ 9.2.x Continuous Delivery release level, download and install the PTFs for one or both of the following APARs. In Shopz, leave as the default option ‘Include requisite service from past 90 days’ to ensure all required PTFs are ordered for associated APARs.
  • APAR PH31298 (for IBM MQ for z/OS. Includes MQ Managed File Transfer)
  • APAR PH31299 (for IBM MQ for z/OS Advanced Value Unit Edition).
• For the IBM MQ Appliance 9.2.1 firmware image, go to Fix Central . This firmware image can be applied to the M2000, M2001, and M2002 hardware models.
