Downloading the CD release for IBM MQ for Multiplatforms

Base install images for IBM MQ are available from Passport Advantage. Images for maintenance releases (CSUs) are available from Fix Central.


Download the IBM MQ CD base install image from Passport Advantage

CD base images for each operating system are available as parts on Passport Advantage, for which you must have an entitled IBM ID. Passport Advantage also provides an eAssembly, which is a collection of all the latest parts.

To download an image, either click the link for the relevant part number in this section or sign in to Passport Advantage then search for the part number. If you install IBM MQ eAssembly images on a UNIX or Linux-based operating system, you must use GNU tar (also known as gtar) to unpack any tar images.

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 the Containers section of Other useful links near the end of this document.

Download the IBM MQ CD 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

For information about the contents of each of the IBM MQ for z/OS products, click the Overview tab at the top of this page.


To upgrade from a previously installed IBM MQ 9.3.x (or IBM MQ 9.2.x) Continuous Delivery release level, download and install the PTFs for one or both of the APARs that are listed for each release in the following table. Sign in to Shopz, then choose the option "Apply PTFs to a previously installed release". Leave as the default option ‘Include requisite service from past 90 days’ to ensure all required PTFs are ordered for associated APARs.

Downloading the CD release for IBM MQ Appliance

Firmware images for base installations and maintenance releases are available from Fix Central. Run this Fix Central query then in the resulting list, find the item labelled "Continuous Delivery release". Within that item, click "Show superseded fixes" to show the available releases. Select the release that you require then click the Continue button.

The 9.3.0.0 base installation firmware image can be applied only to the M2003 hardware model. Later images can be applied to the M2003 and M2002 hardware models. If you are downloading a maintenance release, apply it to an existing CD base installation.
