Maintaining the IBM MQ resource adapter
The IBM® MQ resource adapter is used by all applications that perform JMS messaging with the IBM MQ messaging provider. The IBM MQ resource adapter is usually updated automatically when you apply WebSphere® Application Server fix packs, but if you have previously manually updated the resource adapter you must manually update your configuration to ensure that maintenance is applied correctly.
About this task
Applying a WebSphere Application Server fix pack does not automatically update the version of the IBM MQ resource adapter used by servers on nodes where the IBM MQ resource adapter has previously been manually updated.
Procedure
- To migrate the configuration of all servers in the cell to use the latest version of the IBM MQ resource adapter contained in the WebSphere Application Server installation, see Ensuring that servers use the latest available IBM MQ resource adapter maintenance level.
- If you want a specific version of the IBM MQ resource adapter to be installed, and the version you require is not available in a WebSphere Application Server fix pack, or an interim fix, see Installing a specific maintenance level of the IBM MQ resource adapter.
