| Please read first |  | - HP-UX (PA-RISC) with 64-bit hardware, 32-bit and 64-bit WebSphere MQ APIs are supported and the operating system 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.

| 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)
- 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)
- Other application server environments may be supported [see section note 1]
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.
Notes: - Only 64-bit DB2 instances can be used with 64-bit WebSphere MQ.
- Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) and Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) are NOT supported by the WebSphere MQ Java Classes.

|
| Supported application servers for the WebSphere MQ Bridge for HTTP | | - WebSphere Application Server V6.0.2.1 or later [see section note 1]
- WebSphere Application Server V7 or later

| Cryptography Cards | | Refer to the Cryptography Card List for WebSphere MQ v6 and v7 document for further information. |
| Multi-instance queue manager | | WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 introduces Multi-instance queue managers. For this you will need a networked storage device (such as a NAS). The storage must be accessed by a network file system protocol which is Posix-compliant and supports lease-based locking. Network File System version 4 (NFS v4) and IBM's General Parallel File System (GPFS) both satisfy this requirement. Please note that earlier versions of NFS do NOT satisfy this requirement and must not be used with multi-instance queue managers.
- ONC B.11.31.08 required for multi-instance queue manager support.
- For HP-UX 11.31 libc cumulative patch PHCO_36900 or superseding patch is required.
