AIX Platform Support

Message Queue 4.3 provides AIX platform packages and an Installer for installing them).

The Message Queue AIX implementation supports the following software:

• AIX v 6.1 or higher (earlier versions of AIX are supported via the Unix/Java Only bundle)

• DB2 support

• IBM XL C/C++ Compiler V9.0

• JDK 1.5 or better

For installation instructions, see Chapter 4, AIX Installation, in Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Installation Guide.

On the AIX platform, Message Queue files are installed under a single Message Queue home directory, IMQ_HOME. IMQ_HOME denotes the directory mqInstallHome/mq, where mqInstallHome is the installation home directory you specify when installing the product (by default, home-directory/MessageQueue).

The resulting Message Queue directory structure is the same as that for the Windows platform (see the Windows section of Appendix A, Platform-Specific Locations of Message Queue Data, in Sun Java System Message Queue 4.3 Administration Guide.)

Message Queue support for the AIX platform includes support for the Message Queue C-API. For instructions on building and compiling C applications on the AIX platform, see XREF.
