System Requirements for WebSphere MQ V7.0/7.0.1 on z/OS
|
| | | Abstract | | This document contains the system requirements for WebSphere MQ V7.0 on z/OS. | | | | | | | | Content | | Please read first |  | - For software requirements, the Program Directory shipped with the product contains the latest level of information, particularly concerning APAR or PTF levels of supported products.
- z/OS includes appropriate levels of Language Environment, TCP/IP, VTAM, SMP/E, TSO/E, JES, C/C++, DFSMS / DFP, Security Server, High Level Assembler, ISPF, and ICSS.
- The product versions listed here represent the minimum level of that product that is supported, unless otherwise stated.
- For installation, the only requirement is the level of operating system listed below, which will include the pre-requisite level of SMP/E.
- Defect support is available for virtualization environments where they relate to releases of this platform already supported by WebSphere MQ. Unless stated elsewhere in the system requirements, WebSphere MQ has not been specifically tested in virtualization environments. WebSphere MQ Support is therefore unable to assist in issues related to configuration and setup, or issues that are directly related to the virtualization environment itself.
| | Hardware requirements | | - Any IBM OS/390 or zSeries 900 processor capable of running the required level of a compatible operating system with enough storage to meet the combined requirements of the programming prerequisites, WebSphere MQ for z/OS, the access methods, and the application programs.
| | Operating Systems | | - z/OS V1.8 or later [see section note 1]
Notes: - WebSphere MQ V7.0 has a hard pre-requisite on z/OS V1.8, so prior versions of z/OS are not supported.
| | For C/C++ applications | | - Any C/C++ compiler that generates calls to WebSphere MQ using the standard linkage convention [see section note 1]
Notes: - To take advantage of the new Version 7 functionality from a C application, you must use a compiler that supports the long long integer type.
| | For PL/I applications | | - Any PL/I compiler that generates calls to WebSphere MQ using the standard linkage convention
| | For COBOL applications | | - Any COBOL compiler that generates calls to WebSphere MQ using the standard linkage convention
| | For Java™ applications using the WebSphere MQ classes for Java or JMS | | 31-bit: [see section note 1] - IBM SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition, Version 1.4.2
- IBM SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition, Version 5.0
- IBM SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition, Version 6.0
Notes: - ASF adapter is supported on the following 64-Bit JREs, when it is loaded into WAS:
- IBM 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition, Version 1.4.2
- IBM 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition, Version 5.0
- IBM 64-bit SDK for z/OS, Java 2 Technology Edition, Version 6.0
| | Transactions Managers | | CICS:
IMS: - IMS (5655-C56) V8.1
- IMS (5655-J38) V9.1
- IMS (5635-A01) V10.1
| | Application Servers | | - IBM WebSphere Application Server, including the WebSphere Application Server client container, V6.0.2 (see this document for more information)
- IBM WebSphere Application Server, including the WebSphere Application Server client container, V6.1 (see this document for more information)
- IBM WebSphere Application Server, including the WebSphere Application Server client container, V7.0 (see this document for more information)
| | Connectivity | | TCP/IP - z/OS TCP/IP or any TCP product which supports the z/OS Unix Sockets API
VTAM: - Included with z/OS [see section note 1]
Notes: - Only TCP/IP supported with the JMS Client and the WebSphere MQ Java Classes.
| | Versions of products / components shipped with the product | | JDK: GSKit: | | Other platform specifics | | For Shared queues: - z/OS V1.8 with Resource Recovery Services (RRS) activated and Coupling Facility Level 9
- DB2 (5625-DB2) V8.1
For Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): - z/OS Cryptographic Services Security Level 3 (FMID JCPT381)
Topic security: - Users wishing to implement TOPIC security or exploit mixed case profiles for other MQ objects will additionally require either
- RACF APAR OA23043 for z/OS 1.8 or
- z/OS 1.9 or later
| | Supported application servers for the WebSphere MQ Bridge for HTTP | | - WebSphere Application Server V6.0.2.1 or later
- WebSphere Application Server V7 or later
| | Cryptography Cards | | Refer to the Cryptography Card List for WebSphere MQ v6 and v7 document for further information. |
