System Requirements for WebSphere MQ V7.0/7.0.1 on HP-UX Itanium

 Product documentation
 
Abstract
This document contains the system requirements for WebSphere MQ V7.0 on HP-UX Itanium.
 
 
Content
Please read first
  • Both 32-bit and 64-bit MQ APIs are supported and the OS must be capable of running 64-bit applications.
  • 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.
Hardware requirements
  • Itanium systems - any hardware that is explicitly compatible and fully capable of running the specified operating system, all the corresponding supporting software shown below, and any associated applications unmodified.
Operating Systems
  • HP-UX 11i V2 (11.23) for IPF
  • HP-UX 11i V3 (11.31) for IPF [see section note 1]

Notes:
  1. Before installing on HP-UX 11i V3 (11.31) see technote 1270591.
For C/C++ applications
  • For applications using the WebSphere MQ C++ classes, the standard runtime is supported.
  • HP C/ANSI Developer Bundle for HP-UX 11i2
  • HP aCC A.06.12
  • HP aCC A.06.13
  • HP aCC A.06.14
  • HP aCC A.06.15
  • HP aCC A.06.16
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 JMSpthread cumulative patch PHCO_34718 is required to resolve an intermittent core dump when running Java applications. The id of the problem record is JAGaf78055.

32-bit:

  • HP-UX IPF Software Development Kit for the Java 2 platform, V1.4.2.
  • HP SDK for J2SE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, V1.4.2 for 32-bit Itanium (see section notes 1 and 2)
  • HP SDK for J2SE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, V5.0 for 32-bit Itanium (SR1 or above) (see section notes 2 and 3)
  • HP JDK for JSE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, V6 for 32-bit Itanium [see section notes 1 and 2]
  • HP JDK V5.0 [see section notes 3 and 4]
  • HP JDK V6.0 [see section notes 4 and 5]
64 bit
  • HP-UX IPF Software Development Kit for the Java 2 platform, V1.4.2.
  • HP SDK for J2SE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, V1.4.2 for 64-bit Itanium (see section notes 1 and 2)
  • HP SDK for J2SE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, V5.0 for 64-bit Itanium (SR1 or above) (see section notes 2 and 3)
  • HP JDK for JSE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, V6 for 64-bit Itanium [see section notes 1 and 2]
  • HP JDK V5.0 [see section notes 3 and 4]
  • HP JDK V6.0 [see section notes 4 and 5]

Notes:
  1. Only if the JDK is supplied with another IBM product.
  2. FIPS compliance is only supported on IBM adapted SDKs.
  3. The Java Runtime Environment must be run with the following parameter set: -XX:+UseGetTimeOfDay
  4. WMQ v7.0.1.0 or later is required.
  5. Patches from HP must be applied depending on the operating system version being used:
  • HP-UX 11i V3 - patch is PHSS-37202 (see here)
  • HP-UX 11i V2 - patch is PHSS-37201 (see here)
SOAP Support
  • HP SDK for J2SE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, V1.4.2 for 32-bit Itanium
  • HP SDK for J2SE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, V5.0 for 32-bit Itanium (SR1 or above) (32-bit only)
  • HP JDK for JSE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software , V6 for 32-bit Itanium
  • 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 Coordinator. However it is not possible to participate in a JTA style transaction.
  • IBM TXSeries V6.1 and V6.2 [see section note 1]
  • IBM TXSeries V7.1 [see section note 1]
  • BEA Tuxedo V9.1
  • BEA Tuxedo V10.3 [see section notes 2 and 3]

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.
  2. For information on building applications with Tuxedo 10.3, see this document.
  3. WebSphere MQ V7.0.0.2 or later is required.
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)
  • 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.
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. Only 64-bit DB2 instances can be used with 64-bit WebSphere MQ.
  2. Informix Dynamic Server (IDS) and Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) are NOT supported by the WebSphere MQ Java Classes.
  3. WebSphere MQ V7.0.0.2 + APAR IZ48390, or later maintenance is required.
Connectivity
  • HP SNAplus2 Version 7 (SNA)
  • TCP/IP (provided by the operation system); IPv6 feature support is available with HP's Transport Optional Upgrade Release (TOUR)
Versions of products / components shipped with the productJDK:
  • HP SDK for J2SE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, V5.0 for 32-bit Itanium
  • HP SDK for J2SE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, V5.0 for 64-bit Itanium
GSKit:
  • IBM Global Security Kit V7D (64-bit)
Supported browsers for the WebSphere MQ information center
  • Mozilla 1.7
  • Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0
  • Konqueror (UI base mode only - meaning that only the basic functions of the information center will work, i.e. All function that supports base user activities with the content such as displaying a topic, locating a topic via the table of contents, searching for a topic and displaying it, etc are retained in base mode)
Cryptography CardsRefer to the Cryptography Card List for WebSphere MQ v6 and v7 document for further information.
Multi-instance queue managerWebSphere 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.
