System Requirements for WebSphere MQ V7.0/7.0.1 on Solaris SPARC

 Product documentation
 
Abstract
This document contains the system requirements for WebSphere MQ V7.0 on Solaris SPARC.
 
 
Content
Please read first
  • Sun platform with 64-bit hardware, 32-bit and 64-bit WebSphere MQ APIs are supported and the OS must have a 64-bit kernel.
  • The 'MQ Explorer' will not run on this platform.
  • 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.
  • Solaris Zones support information.
Hardware requirements
  • Sun Solaris operating environment: 64-bit Sun SPARC systems only, 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.
Operating Systems
  • Sun Solaris V9
  • Sun Solaris V10
For C/C++ applications
  • Sun ONE Studio 9 Compiler Collection (C and C++)
  • Sun Studio 10 Software for Solaris Platforms
  • Sun ONE Studio 11 Enterprise Edition for Solaris (C and C++)
  • Sun Studio 12 [see section note 1]

Notes:
  1. WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 or later is required.
For COBOL applications
  • Micro Focus Server Express V4.0, V5.0 and V5.1 [see section note 1]

Notes:
  1. For V5.1, WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 or later is required.
For Java™ applications using the WebSphere MQ classes for Java or JMS32-bit:
  • Sun Solaris Java SDK V1.4 with JDK V1.4.2
  • Sun Solaris Java SDK V5 with JDK V5
  • Sun Solaris Java SDK V6 with JDK V6
  • IBM 32-bit SDK for Solaris, Java 2 Technology Edition, V1.4.2 [see section notes 1 and 2]
  • IBM 32-bit SDK for Solaris, Java 2 Technology Edition, V5.0 (SR1 or above) [see section note 2]
  • IBM 32-bit SDK for Solaris, Java Technology Edition, V6.0 [see section notes 1 and 2]
64-bit:
  • Sun Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition V1.4.2
  • Sun Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition V5
  • Sun Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition V6
  • IBM 64-bit SDK for Solaris, Java 2 Technology Edition, V1.4.2 [see section notes 1 and 2]
  • IBM 64-bit SDK for Solaris, Java 2 Technology Edition V5.0 (SR1 or above) [see note 3]
  • IBM 64-bit SDK for Solaris, Java Technology Edition V6.0 [see section notes 1 and 2]

Notes:
  1. Only if the JDK is supplied with another IBM product.
  2. FIPS compliance is only supported on IBM SDK
SOAP Support
  • IBM 32-bit SDK for Solaris, Java 2 Technology Edition, V1.4.2
  • IBM 32-bit SDK for Solaris, Java 2 Technology Edition V5.0 (SR1 or above)
  • IBM 32-bit SDK for Solaris, Java Technology Edition V6.0
  • Apache Axis V1.4 (supplied with WebSphere MQ)
Transactions ManagersUsing 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:
  1. 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 ServersWhere 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)
  • 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)
  • BEA WebLogic Server 9.2 (JMS only)
  • BEA WebLogic Server 10.3 (JMS only) [see section note 2]
  • Other application server environments may be supported [see section note 1]

Notes:
  1. For more detailed information about using WebSphere MQ with application servers see the WebSphere MQ resource adapter statement of support document.
  2. A minimum of WMQ V7.0.0.1 plus APARs IC60663 and IC59871 is required. Also, BEA WebLogic Server 10.3 must be run with Sun Java 6.0.
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.

Notes:
  1. Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) and Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) are NOT supported by the WebSphere MQ Java Classes.
  2. WebSphere V7.0.0.2 or later is required.
Connectivity
  • SNAP-IX V7.0 (SNA)
  • TCP/IP (IPv4 and IPv6 provided by the operating system)
Versions of products / components shipped with the productJDK:

  • IBM Global Security Kit V7D (32-bit)
  • IBM Global Security Kit V7D (64-bit)
Supported browsers for the WebSphere MQ information center
  • Firefox 2.0
