1. If SELinux is enabled, it must be configured as described in the MQ SELinux support requirements
RedHat update RHBA-2016:0199-1 is required to resolve known defects that affect MQ.
2. If SELinux is enabled, it must be configured as described in the MQ SELinux support requirements

Summary
For the application sever to be supported, the IBM MQ resource adapter installation verification test program
needs to be deployed into the application server and run successfully. After the IBM MQ resource adapter
installation verification test program has been run successfully, the MQ resource adapter can connect to any
supported MQ queue manager. The table below documents where components of this version of MQ can be
deployed. Two common questions are: 1. What versions of IBM WebSphere Application Server is the MQ
Resource Adapter supported to run in? Answer: The IBM MQ 9.0 Resource adapter can run in any JavaEE 7.0
compliant version of IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty. It is also supported to run in IBM WebSphere
Application Server (traditional) V9.0 2. What versions of IBM WebSphere Application Server can connect to
this version of MQ? Answer: Any supported version of IBM WebSphere Application Server can use the MQ
Resource Adapter bundled with it to connect to this (or any other) version of MQ.

Resource Management
Summary
This section defines what resources can be managed in the scope of a global transaction when IBM MQ is
the Transaction Manager. Using the IBM MQ classes for JMS, IBM MQ can only act in the role of a Resource
Manager. The IBM MQ classes for JMS can only participate in global transactions when accessed through the
Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA) resource adapter, which can only be used within a suitable application
server environment. Using the IBM MQ classes for Java, IBM MQ can act as a Transaction Co-ordinator.
However it is not possible to participate in a JTA style transaction.

Glossary
Bitness
Compatibility of the product with the bit version support that is provided by an
operating system. Different parts of a product might run on the same operating
system but support different application bitness. For example, one part of the
product might run only in 32-bit mode, whereas another might support 64-bit
tolerate mode.
31: The product or part of the product runs as a 31-bit application in a 31-bit
operating environment.
32: The product or part of the product runs as a 32-bit application in a 32-bit
operating environment.
64-tolerate: The product or part of the product runs as a 32-bit application in a
64-bit operating environment.
64-exploit: The product or part of the product runs natively as a 64-bit application
in a 64-bit operating environment.
Co-packaged
Co-installed
Additional products that are included in the product package and installed when
the product is installed.
Deployment unit
The top level of the deployment structure consists of one or more deployment
units. There are four possible deployment units that a product might support:
Desktop, Server, Agent or client, Mobile.
Desktop deployment unit: Part of the deployment structure intended for use
by a single user, typically installed on the user desktops. Examples of desktop
deployment units include development tools, administrative tools, stand-alone
business applications.
Server deployment unit: Part of the deployment structure that can provide
services to multiple clients, providing the server in a client-server architecture.
Examples of server deployment units include application servers, management
servers, database servers and server-based business applications.
Agent or client deployment unit: Part of the deployment structure that allows
remote connection between software. Examples of agent of client deployment
91
IBM MQ 9.0
Detailed System Requirements
units include agents in management system that are installed in the same tier
as the managed resources, a remote application, or database clients that are
installed with the software accessing the remote services.
Mobile deployment unit: Part of the deployment structure intended for use by
a single user, typically installed on a mobile device. An example of a mobile
deployment unit is a mobile application.
Hypervisor
Limited operating
system support
By default, the supported guest operating systems for a product and a hypervisor
are the operating systems that are supported by both the product and the
hypervisor. If a product restricts support to a subset of these operating systems,
this restriction will be indicated by specifying that there is Limited Operating
System Support.
Operating system
minimum
The minimum operating system maintenance level that is required to run on the
product.
Prerequisite
minimum
The minimum maintenance level that is required for the prerequisite to work with
the product.
Product minimum
The minimum maintenance level that is required for the product to run on the
operating system, on an hypervisor, or work with a prerequisite product or
supported software.
Supported software
minimum
The minimum maintenance level that is required for the supported software to
work with the product.
A Long Term Support Release is a recommended product level for which support,
including defect and security updates, will be provided over a specified period of
time.
