The features you can choose are:
- Server
- Windows Client
- Java Messaging
- Development Toolkit
Here are details of each of them:
- Server
- The standalone WebSphere MQ product, allowing you to run queue managers
on your computer and connect to other computers over a network. You can also
install the Server File Transfer sub-feature, the Server version of the File
Transfer Application, if you install the Server feature.
- MQ Explorer
- The WebSphere MQ Explorer is the graphical user interface for WebSphere
MQ. This feature requires that you have already installed the IBM WebSphere
Eclipse Platform. If you have not installed the IBM WebSphere Eclipse Platform,
return to the Software Prerequisites page of the launchpad now to install
it.
- Windows Client
- The WebSphere MQ Client is a small subset of MQ, without a queue manager,
that uses the queue manager and queues on other (server) computers. It can
only be used when the computer it is on is connected to another computer running
a full server version of WebSphere MQ. The client and the server can be on
the same computer if required. You can also install the Client File Transfer
sub-feature, the Client version of the File Transfer Application, if you install
the Client feature.
- Java Messaging
- The files needed for messaging using Java (includes Java Message Service
support).
- Development Toolkit
- This feature includes sample source files, and the bindings (files .H,
.LIB, .DLL, and so on), that you will need if you are going to develop applications
to run on WebSphere MQ. Bindings and samples are provided for the following
languages: C, C++, Visual Basic, ActiveX, Cobol, DCE, PL/1. Samples are provided
for: MTS, MQSC.
