The following table contains the software requirements for Oracle Procedural Gateway for WebSphere MQ.
| Platform | Requirement | IBM Software |
|---|---|---|
| AIX-Based Systems | 64-bit only
AIX 4.3.3 or AIX 5L OS Patches: Check with your software vendor for current maintenance requirements. |
When the gateway resides on the same system as the WebSphere MQ server software, then WebSphere MQ for AIX version 5 release 5.1 or later is required. When the gateway resides on a different system than the WebSphere MQ server software, then WebSphere MQ Client for AIX version 5 release 5.1 or later is required on the gateway system. |
| HP 9000 Series 700 or 800 (HP-UX) | 64-bit only
HP-UX 11.0 OS Patches: Check with your software vendor for current maintenance requirements. |
When the gateway resides on the same system as the WebSphere MQ server software, then WebSphere MQ for HP 9000 version 5 release 5.1 or later is required. When the gateway resides on a different system than the WebSphere MQ server software, then WebSphere MQ Client for HP 9000 version 5 release 5.1 or later is required on the gateway system. |
| Sun Solaris Operating System (SPARC) | 32-bit OS only (32-bit or 64-bit hardware)
Solaris 2.6 or later OS Patches: Check with your software vendor for current maintenance requirements. |
When the gateway resides on the same system as the WebSphere MQ server software, then WebSphere MQ for Sun Solaris version 5 release 5.1 or later is required. When the gateway resides on a different system than the WebSphere MQ server software, then WebSphere MQ Client for Sun Solaris version 5 release 5.1 or later is required on the gateway system. |
| Linux/32 | 32-bit OS only
Red Hat Linux AS 2.4 or later OS Patches: Check with your software vendor for current maintenance requirements |
When the gateway resides on the same system as the WebSphere MQ server software, then WebSphere MQ for IA Linux/32 version 5 release 5.2 or later is required. When the gateway resides on a different system than the WebSphere MQ server software, then WebSphere MQ Client for IA Linux/32 version 5 release 5.2 or later is required on the gateway system. |
Set the ulimit value for the maximum number of open files per process to 1024 or greater:
prompt> ulimit -n 1024
|
Note: All IBM software must be installed before the gateway software is installed. For example, if WebSphere MQ software is not installed before PG4MQ, then the product link fails. |
In addition to the documentation that is included with the gateway software, the following Oracle publications are recommended:
Oracle Visual Workbench for Oracle Procedural Gateways for IBM MQSeries Installation and User's Guide
PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
Oracle Net Services Administrator's Guide
