Choosing the runtime files to distribute with an application
A script file named genmqpkg is provided by the redistributable client under the bin directory.
You can use the genmqpkg script to generate a smaller subset of files that are tailored to the needs of the application, for which the files are intended to be distributed.
You are asked a series of interactive Yes
or No
questions to
determine the runtime requirements for an IBM MQ
application.
Finally, genmqpkg asks you to supply a new target directory, where the script duplicates the required directories and files.
Other considerations
There is a minor change to the default data path of a non-installed client on Windows and now the path is %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\IBM\MQ\data.
Classpath changes
The classpath used by dspmqver, setmqenv, and crtmqenv commands, add the com.ibm.mq.allclient.jar to the environment, immediately following the com.ibm.mq.jar and com.ibm.mqjms.jar.
