Check through this topic to identify which additional software is
supported for use with WebSphere® MQ.
Compilers
The following compilers are supported for
WebSphere MQ for HP-UX applications:
C/C++
HP C/ANSI C Developer's Bundle V6.02
- HP aC++ V6.02
COBOL
- Micro Focus Server Express V4.0
Java™
- HP-UX IPF Software Development Kit for the Java 2 Platform, Version 1.4.2.
HP Software Development Kit for J2SE HP-UX 11i V2 platform, adapted
by IBM® for IBM Software,
Version 1.4.2
This product is supplied with WebSphere MQ,
and can be installed during the installation process described in this document.
Java Messaging and SOAP transport
If you want
to use Java Messaging and SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
Support, you need an IBM Java 2 SDK and Runtime Environment Version
1.4.2 or later. An appropriate runtime environment is provided in the JDK
provided on the
WebSphere MQ Server CD-ROM.
This JDK package can be selected for install during the installation procedure
described in this book, see
WMQ Components for package
information.
The JDK available on the server CD-ROM is:
- HP SDK for J2SE HP-UX 11i platform, adapted by IBM for IBM Software, Version 1.4.2
This JDK provides support for SOAP and are FIPS 140-2 compliant.
For
a list of alternative JDKs, see:
www.ibm.com/software/integration/websphere/mqplatforms/supported.html
For
further information about using Java with WebSphere MQ see, Using Java.
For
further information about SOAP see, WebSphere MQ Transport For SOAP book.
If
your JDK has not been supplied by IBM you should be aware that:
- The JDK may not be FIPS level 140-2 compliant and by using it with WebSphere MQ, will not comply the FIPS 140-2 standards.
- SOAP is not supported.
On HP-UX, the 32-bit and 64-bit JDKs are typically
installed to the same directory /opt/mqm/java/sdk/bin. To
run a 64-bit or 32-bit JVM use the -d64 or -d32 parameters on the command
line when running a Java application to ensure the correct JVM
is used.
Secure Sockets Level (SSL)
If
you want to use the SSL support with WebSphere MQ for HP-UX, you need to
install the IBM Global
Security Kit (GSKit) V7 package: gsk7bas64. This is supplied with WebSphere MQ as
one of the components available for installation.
If you are migrating
from WebSphere MQ
Version 5.3 and have no other requirement for the IBM Global Security Kit V6 you can uninstall
it using the process described in Uninstalling WebSphere MQ, the
package name is gsk6bas.
Note: 
If you are using WebSphere MQ
for HP-UX on
IA64
(IPF), there is no support
for 32-bit SSL. The WebSphere MQ documentation describes the use of
the 32-bit GSKit commands (for example, gsk7cmd and gsk7ikm) on the HP-UX
for
IA64
(IPF) platform. You must use
the equivalent 64-bit variants (for example, gsk7cmd64 and gsk7ikm64 ).
