Hey Guys,
Can someone could help me that this is correct statement
MQ installable components
Server Only
Client Only
Server and Client
MQ Explorer
Packaging of MQ binary
Earlier than MQ 7.5, there were various binary packages even just for MQ server; standard or mainstream MQ, Advance Messaging Security, File Transfer Edition since MQ 7.02 and MQ telemetry. MQ 7.5 first time consolidated all of these packages into a single package.
Similarly, earlier version has two different kinds of clients, standard client and Transaction client. IBM also consolidated the client into single bundle as MQ client. There is not more extended client as a separate package.
Thus, in summary MQ binary is available either of the following packaging
Server and client (http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/download/search.jsp?pn=WebSphere+MQ)
Client (as a support Pac SupportPac MQC75)
MQ Explorer (only in windows and Linux as a support pac)
I am writing internal training materials and want to give a historical perspective.
Thanks |

Yes, XA client wa a separate package before, but now comes along with standard client thereby just have one client package now.
This is what the same webstie says:
"
Traditionally, the WebSphere MQ Extended Transactional Client (also known as the XA Client or XTC Client) was not part of the standard WebSphere MQ client and you had to purchase the XA Client separately. As per the WebSphere MQ V7.5 announcement letter on April 24, 2012, the Extended Transactional Client (XA) is now a free product which comes with the standard WebSphere MQ v7.x client. " |

It might be simpler to state that over the years, product packaging has changed to reflect customer needs, improvements in o/s installation methods (wizards), and IBM internal marketing strategy. The same can be said of most vendor products.
There once was a time when source-code was included in the distribution. Most products today are delivered OCO.

Or on Micro-fiche
and the hardware came complete with full schematics.
I still have a set of PDP-11/05 Schematics in my Loft. I also have the RSX-11S Sources on Fiche from 1977.
Ironically, these all date from before I spent 20 years working for DEC.

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

I could have done little more research. But believe me, I post this to revive my habit of reading MQSeries.net
Single packaging is described hee. But it does not say anything aobut MQtelemetry.

Though history is useless ( probably), but is it interesting ( to some probably and I am the one of them) |

| History is very useful for figuring out what not to do any more. |

Very nice idea but sadly does not work... And as it was said by Henry Ford, "history is bunk".  |
