This techdoc shows all the steps to install MQ 9.1.0.3 LTS in Linux x86 64-bit, while
co-existing ("side-by-side") with MQ 8.0.0.9. Furthermore, the steps include
the installation of the Fix Packs 8.0.0.14 and 9.1.0.4.
.
None of the installations are designated as “Primary”. Therefore, you must use
“setmqenv” to setup the MQ environment for the desired installation.
.
NOTE regarding MQ 9.0:
The principles discussed in this techdoc apply also to MQ 9.0.
Keep in mind that the End Of Support (EOS) for MQ 8.0 is 30-Apr-2020 and
for MQ 9.0 is 30-Sep-2021.
At the time this tutorial was written, the EOS for MQ 9.1 has not been announced yet.
.
An important aspect of this feature of multiple installations of MQ (multi-install) in
the same host, is that this type of installation does not require that the MQ 8.0 queue
managers and applications need to be stopped when doing activities with MQ 9.1.
That is, the installation of MQ 9.1 does not affect the running MQ 8.0 applications.
This is helpful when you try to do a staging upgrade of the MQ 8.0 queue managers to
MQ 9.1.
.
Except for the installation chapters that use the Linux rpm command, the rest of the
chapters apply to other UNIX distributions: AIX and Solaris
Keep in mind that MQ 9.1 is the LAST version that provides support for Solaris.
.
The chapters are:
Chapter 1: Summary of rpm commands: install, uninstall, querying
Chapter 2: Installing MQ 9.1 LTS side-by-side to MQ 8.0
Chapter 3: Need to run setmqenv to use MQ 9.1 or MQ 8.0 commands
Chapter 4: Creating a queue manager under MQ 9.1
Chapter 5: Remote access to the new MQ 9.1 queue manager
Chapter 6: Migrating an MQ 8.0 queue manager to MQ 9.1
Chapter 7: Installing Fix Pack 8.0.0.14
Chapter 8: Installing Fix Pack 9.1.0.4
Chapter 9: Uninstallation
