System Requirements for WebSphere MQ V7.0/7.0.1 on Windows
|
| | | Abstract | | This document contains the system requirements for WebSphere MQ V7.0 on Windows. | | | | | | | | Content | | Please read first |  | - The 'MQ Explorer' tooling will run on all supported Windows environments. Where used in a 64-bit windows environment, it will run in 32-bit mode only.
- Defect support is available for virtualization environments (not including VMware - see the following note) 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.
- Software support for IBM SWG products in a VMware environment.
| | Hardware requirements | | - x86 and x86-64 (also known as x64) technology-compatible PC hardware, 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, the access methods and the application programs. Note that Itanium 64-bit is not supported.
| | Operating Systems | | - Microsoft Windows XP Professional (SP2 or later)
- Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (SP1 or later) (Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (SP1 or later) (Standard x64 Edition or Enterprise x64 Edition)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 (SP1 or later) (Standard Edition or Enterprise Edition)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 (SP1 or later) (Standard x64 Edition or Enterprise x64 Edition)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (Standard or Enterprise 32-bit and 64-bit Edition) [see section note 1]
- Microsoft Windows Vista (Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition)
- Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit versions of Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Edition)
- Microsoft Windows Embedded Point of Service 1.0
Notes: - There is an open issue with the use of WebSphere MQ and MSCS in a Windows 2008 environment. This page will be updated once this has been resolved. Reference: APAR IC59261.

| | Transactions Managers | | Using the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS, WebSphere MQ can only act in the role of a Resource Manager. A 3rd party Transaction Co-ordinator must be used, for example WebSphere Application Server.
Using the WebSphere MQ classes for Java, WebSphere MQ can act as a Transaction Co-ordinator. However it is not possible to participate in a JTA style transaction.

Notes: - The resiliency feature of TXSeries V6.1/V6.2/V7.1 is not supported. For more details, please refer to
XA Resiliency feature of TXSeries V6.1/V6.2/V7.1 doesn't work with WMQ as RM. | | Application Servers | | Where a WebSphere MQ client application is running in one of the listed transaction manager environments, it is recommended that you contact the transaction manager vendor in the first instance for support: - IBM WebSphere Application Server, including the WebSphere Application Server client container, V6.0.2 (see this document for more information)

Notes: - For more detailed information about using WebSphere MQ with application servers see the WebSphere MQ resource adapter statement of support document.
| | Resource Managers (when MQ is the Transaction Manager) | | Using the WebSphere MQ classes for JMS, WebSphere MQ can only act in the role of a Resource Manager. A 3rd party Transaction Co-ordinator must be used, for example WebSphere Application Server.
Using the WebSphere MQ classes for Java, WebSphere MQ can act as a Transaction Co-ordinator. However it is not possible to participate in a JTA style transaction.
