Downloading IBM MQ 9.3.4 Continuous Delivery

Click the Overview tab for a description of the release types (LTS, CD, Fix Pack, CSU), a maintenance overview, a summary of the contents of each of the IBM MQ for z/OS products, and links to IBM MQ 9.3 and 9.2 trial versions.

The latest IBM MQ 9.3 CD release is 9.3.4.
There are currently no CSUs to apply to the 9.3.4 release.

Details of the fixes delivered are here: Fix list for IBM MQ 9.3.x Continuous Delivery.
For IBM MQ 9.3.4, defect fixes are provided up to 19 October 2024.

Most IBM MQ downloadable files are now signed and have a published SHA256 checksum. See IBM MQ code signatures.
For checksum information to validate CSU downloads, see Checksum values for IBM MQ downloads from Fix Central.

Note: For IBM MQ in containers, the IBM MQ 9.3.4 release is planned for December 2023. This is to align with the next major version of the IBM Cloud Pak for Integration. Until that time, IBM MQ 9.3.4 new features will not run using the IBM MQ Operator on the OpenShift Container Platform, and the IBM MQ container image will continue to receive security updates at the 9.3.3 level.

Downloading the CD release for Multiplatforms

Download the IBM MQ 9.3.4 base install image from Passport Advantage

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 from Passport Advantage (subject to entitlement) is the IBM Aspera fasp.io Gateway (G05Q7ML).

Note: Prior to 1Q 2023, non-install images for building your own IBM MQ queue manager container images were available from Passport Advantage. These images are now available on Fix Central. See Other useful links > Containers near the end of this document.

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.

Downloading the CD release for z/OS

Download the IBM MQ 9.3.4 base install image and PTFs from Shopz

Sign in to Shopz. After you sign in, you have two options:

• Option 1: Order the features as a new product installation.
• 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 installation:

• 5655-MQ9 - IBM MQ for z/OS
• 5655-VU9 - IBM MQ for z/OS Value Unit Edition
• 5655-AV9 - IBM MQ Advanced for z/OS
• 5655-AV1 - IBM MQ Advanced for z/OS Value Unit Edition

To upgrade from a previous IBM MQ 9.3.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 PH55769 (for IBM MQ for z/OS. Includes IBM MQ Managed File Transfer)
• APAR PH55770 (for IBM MQ Advanced for z/OS Value Unit Edition)

Downloading the CD release for IBM MQ Appliance

Download the IBM MQ Appliance 9.3.4 firmware image from Fix Central

This firmware image can be applied to the M2003 and M2002 hardware models.

  • For production environments the three non-install images for Linux (subject to entitlement) are available here:
    • IBM MQ Advanced non-install images for Linux
    Note that each version of these non-install images is supported for one year only when used as part of an IBM MQ CD release, or 2 years (with an optional extension for another year) when used as part of an IBM Cloud Pak for Integration LTS release.
  • For development environments the non-install images are available here:
    • IBM MQ Advanced for Developers non-install image for Linux x86-64
    • IBM MQ Advanced for Developers non-install image for Linux PPCLE
    • IBM MQ Advanced for Developers non-install image for Linux systemZ
