Hi All,
I would like to know if it is possible to install MQ V8.0 on Linux server by copying binaries.
Say i have installed MQ on one server. I get all the binaries(like /var/mqm, /opt/mqm, /etc/opt/mqm/). can I copy these binaries to other server to install MQ?
Does this procedure work? |

Why are you not wanting to use proper Linux Package Managers to do the job for you? (yum, Yast, apt)
What perceived advantage will you have by copying the binaries?
Please explain then we may be able to help you better.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

I have a requirement to HOST MQ on a tibco silver fabric product.
Silver fabric actually creates multiple instances of an application dynamically based on the demand.
To create each instance, Tibco recommends copying binaries instead of the installation.
I tried to install MQ by copying binaries from one server to other server. I checked basic tests like creating queue manager, listener and channels and queues. It was working fine as expected. However I would like to hear more from the MQ experts, if it is ok to do so.
Regards,
Praveen. |

What about your MQ License? Are you licensed for this?
Perhaps you should speak to your IBM rep first and get an official statement.

Are you sure you need to HOST mq on the application server machine? Can the tibco application not use client connections?
Are you sure you need a separate copy of the MQ binaries for each instance of the application? Can't you just use a single queue manager, either on a remote machine with client connections or on the same machine that all application instances share?
It's going to be really messy to add and remove queue managers from your MQ network on demand. |

I doubt that IBM would provide support for MQ where it is "installed" by copying binaries, and it is very likely you will hit issues. Do the right thing. Install MQ using the correct procedure. It is relatively easy to script the install command.
