Abstract
This document provides a full example of using mqfixinst.sh for the installation of an MQ interim fix in Linux RHEL, using APAR IT32173 in MQ 9.1.0.4 LTS.
Content
There are 2 methods for installing an interim fix in MQ 8.0 or later.
Regardless of the method, you must be user "root" in order to install the interim fix.
Regardless of the method, you must be user "root" in order to install the interim fix.
*** A) The preferred method is to use the script "mqfixinst.sh" and the instructions from the readme.txt file are:
1. Unpack the .tar.gz (or compressed tar for your specific platform)
2. Ensure all queue managers and applications running from the
installation in INSTALLDIR are stopped, including any listeners.
3. Change directory to 9.1.0.4-IBM-MQ-LinuxX64-LAIT32173-244969
4. ./mqfixinst.sh testinstall 9.1.0.4-IBM-MQ-LinuxX64-LAIT32173-244969
5. Inspect the output and look for errors. Assuming there are no errors...
6. ./mqfixinst.sh install 9.1.0.4-IBM-MQ-LinuxX64-LAIT32173-244969

6. ./mqfixinst.sh install 9.1.0.4-IBM-MQ-LinuxX64-LAIT32173-244969
B) The other method is manual (not using the mqfixinst.sh script) and the user "root" will need to take backups of the original files and then replace them with the ones from the interim fix.
The full instructions are in the readme.txt file and will NOT be explored in this document.
