One version only of the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer or IBM Integration Explorer can be active at any one time because one version only of the WebSphere MQ Explorer can be installed on any one system.
If you already have WebSphere Message Broker Explorer installed, and you decide to install IBM Integration Explorer, you must replace the existing version.
If you add another installation of WebSphere MQ after you install IBM Integration Explorer, you must install IBM Integration Explorer again to enable it in all WebSphere MQ installations.
- Uninstall your current version of WebSphere Message Broker Explorer. You can uninstall the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer only if you are the administration
user (for example, root on Linux on x86 and Linux on x86-64, or Administrator on Windows). For more information about
uninstalling WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, see one of the following topics:
- For WebSphere Message Broker Explorer Version 7.0, see Uninstalling WebSphere Message Broker Explorer Version 7.0
- For WebSphere Message Broker Explorer Version 8.0, see Uninstalling WebSphere Message Broker Explorer Version 8.0
- Check that no files exist in the previous installation directory.
- Install IBM Integration Explorer.
- To initialize the new version of the IBM Integration Explorer, run the following command from
a command line in which the mqsiprofile command has not
run:
strmqcfg -iTo run this command, you must be the administration user.
- Start IBM Integration Explorer either by using
the IBM Integration Explorer Windows shortcut or by running the
following command from a command line in which the mqsiprofile command has not
run:
strmqcfg -c -d
On Windows, the Add/Remove program
panels point to the new installation location. To remove the older
version, navigate to the old location on the file system and run the
uninstaller that is located there.
- Move or delete the location to which you extracted the IS02 SupportPac.
- Delete the IntegrationExplorer.link file, which you copied into the links directory. On Windows the directory name is C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\eclipseSDK33\eclipse\links\. On Linux on x86 and Linux on x86-64, the directory name is /opt/mqm/eclipseSDK33/eclipse/links.
