Linux

On the Linux platform, you should not try to install Message Queue 3.7 UR1 on top of earlier versions, but should instead uninstall any earlier versions of Message Queue before installing Version 3.7 UR1. This is because the installed directory structure has been changed as of Message Queue 3.6, and this complicates the migration of instance data (configuration properties, file-based persistent data store, log files, flat-file user repository, and access control properties file) from Versions 3.0.x and 3.5 to Version 3.7 UR1. A utility program, mqmigrate, is provided to ease the migration of these data files from versions earlier than 3.6 (see Finding and Removing Earlier Message Queue Versions). (If you are upgrading from Message Queue 3.6, you do not need to use the mqmigrate utility, since the files are already in the correct locations.) After migrating the instance data files if necessary, you should uninstall any Message Queue 3.0.x, 3.5, and 3.6 Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) packages and then install the 3.7 UR1 RPM packages using mqinstall.

Scripts that use hard-coded paths to the Linux installations of Message Queue Versions 3.0.x or 3.5 will need to be changed to the new directory location for Message Queue 3.7 UR1. If you need symbolic links that point the old locations to the new locations, you must install the sun-mq-compat RPM package; this package may not be supported in future releases.
