Abstract

Installing MQ 9.1.0.0 LTS to coexist with MQ 8.0.0.9 in Windows, including applying Fix Packs 8.0.0.14 and 9.1.0.4

Content

This techdoc shows all the steps to install MQ 9.1.0.0 LTS in Windows, 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.
Note: The particular fix packs mentioned in this tutorial were the latest ones at the time the tutorial was written – the overall recommendation is to apply the most recent fix pack level.
 
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.
.
The chapters are:
Chapter 1: Installing MQ 9.1 side-by-side to MQ 8.0
Chapter 2: Need to run setmqenv to use MQ 9.1 or MQ 8.0 commands
Chapter 3: Creating a queue manager under MQ 9.1
Chapter 4: Remote access to the new MQ 9.1 queue manager
Chapter 5: Migrating an MQ 8.0 queue manager to MQ 9.1
Chapter 6: Installing fix pack MQ 8.0.0.14
Chapter 7: Installing Fix Pack 9.1.0.4
Chapter 8: Uninstallation
