Linux: Applying maintenance level updates on IBM MQ
How to apply maintenance level updates to IBM® MQ for Linux® using RPM. The following procedure applies to all Linux platforms, including Ubuntu.
Before you begin
If you are running on a server with multiple IBM MQ installations, you must identify the installation. Make sure that the commands you enter run against the correct installation; see setmqenv.
About this task
Maintenance level updates are delivered in the form of Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) update images, which are applied using the RPM installation tool.
You can apply and remove maintenance from a IBM MQ MQI client that is not installed on the same server as a queue manager. You do not have to stop any queue managers or logon as administrator. Because you do not have to stop any queue managers, do not do steps 1 to 3 in the following maintenance procedure.
Additional disk space is required for the update images to allow maintenance level updates to be removed and the previous level restored. The updated files are kept in
directory. Do not delete or move this directory or the files it contains.
