I work in an environment where I am not authorized to download any software, and any software to be installed must go through a CCB process. So, I want to make sure I request the correct client software the first time.
Here are my details:
1. I need to create a .NET client to read messages from an existing queue hosted on a remoate WebSphere MQ installation, version 6.1 & pack-level 31.
2. I got access to the sample applications provided with the trial download and have been experimenting with them locally, but seem to get lots of reference errors. Upon doing some research here is seems that installation of the client is highly-recommended, so this is the route I'm pursuing
When doing development, I want to have access to the full sample applications, so would I be safe requesting installation of the latest version, IBM WebSphere MQ 7.5, then instruct the help desk to only install the client-portion of the install? At this point would I have a month of development time before the trial expires?
After I complete development and am ready to deploy, would I then request installation of the free client, a client separate from the full, trial download.
Any pointers would be appreciated, thanks. |

The sample applications are separate from the client (or indeed the server) installation. Even if you can't download "software", you download them as source code and you'd find they're the same as you've been experimenting with locally.

I don't see why you wouldn't do that from day 1 and take as long as you need for development.

Go with the 7.5.0.2 MQ Client, and insure they install all the optional components that come with that client.
Its likely the end of life for MQ 7.5 will be farther out than 7.1, so develope anything new at 7.5.

| If 7.5.0.2 is the latest and greatest then that's what I will ask for. |
