Platform Requirement IBM Software
AIX-Based Systems 64-bit OS only

AIX 4.3.3 or AIX 5L

OS Patches:

Check with your software vendor for current maintenance requirements.

When the gateway resides on the same computer as the MQSeries server software, then IBM MQSeries for AIX version 5 release 5.1 or later is required.  When the gateway resides on a different computer than the MQSeries server software, then IBM MQSeries Client for AIX version 5 release 5.1 or later is required on the gateway computer.
HP 9000 Series 700 or 800 (HP-UX) 64-bit OS only

HP-UX 11.0

OS Patches:

Check with your software vendor for current maintenance requirements.

When the gateway resides on the same computer as the MQSeries server software, then IBM MQSeries for HP 9000 version 5 release 5.1 or later is required.  When the gateway resides on a different computer than the MQSeries server software, then IBM MQSeries Client for HP 9000 version 5 release 5.1 or later is required on the gateway computer.
Sun Solaris Operating System (SPARC) 32-bit OS only (32-bit or 64-bit hardware)

Solaris 2.6 or later

OS Patches:

Check with your software vendor for current maintenance requirements.

When the gateway resides on the same computer as the MQSeries server software, then IBM MQSeries for Sun Solaris version 5 release 5.1 or later is required.  When the gateway resides on a different computer than the MQSeries server software, then IBM MQSeries Client for Sun Solaris version 5 release 5.1 or later is required on the gateway computer.

Set ulimit value for the maximum number of open files per process to 1024 or greater:

prompt> ulimit -n 1024


Note:

All IBM software must be installed before the gateway software is installed.  For example, if IBM MQSeries software is not installed before PG4MQ, then the product link will fail.
