MDV 7.0.0.2 is a Fix Pack, which comprises twelve PTFs
- nine for the *BASE install option (library QMQM) (5724H72)
- one for install option 1 (library QMQMSAMP) (5724H72)
- two for the WebSphere MQ Java™/JMS for i5/OS product (5724L26)


PTF SI34790 has been designated as the 'marker' PTF for MDV 7.0.0.2.
Ordering a Group PTF will deliver a complete set of (twelve) PTFs.
Alternatively, ordering SI34790 will deliver all ten PTFs for product 5724H7206. This means that SI34791 and SI35008 for product 5724L2620 (WebSphere MQ Java/JMS) will need to be ordered separately, if required.
The complete set of Group PTFs comprises:
* SF99331 - i5/OS V5R3 - WebSphere MQ for i5/OS 7.0
* SF99332 - i5/OS V5R4 - WebSphere MQ for i5/OS 7.0
* SF99351 - IBM i V6R1 - WebSphere MQ for i5/OS 7.0

For option *BASE - you must apply ALL nine PTFs.
For option 1 - SI35003 (optional) will re-ship library QMQMSAMP
and directory /QIBM/ProdData/mqm/samp

If the MQ Server & MQ Java/JMS products are both installed
For WebSphere MQ Java - SI34790 MUST be applied as well as SI34791
For WebSphere MQ Java option 1 - SI35008 (optional) reships directory
/QIBM/ProdData/mqm/java/samples

.....................................................................

BEFORE ... UPDATING your WebSphere MQ service level, you -> MUST <- quiesce all Queue Manager activity. A suggested procedure is included in the PTF Special Instructions. With this Fix Pack it is especially important to clear up shared memory.

The latest set of PTFs incorporate a PTF exit program, which will
log error on apply PTF or remove PTF operation if subsystem QMQM is still
active or one or more Queue Manager jobs are still running.
Please ensure you have read and understood section 1.6 below
"Error messages logged by APYPTF or RMVPTF"

.....................................................................

BEFORE ... APPLYING the latest set of PTFs, you -> MUST <- remove any TESTFIXES which have been applied on top of the previous CSD.

.....................................................................

Users upgrading or installing WebSphere MQ, on a system with a PRIMARY LANGUAGE for which there is no MQSeries National Language Version ... PLEASE READ section "Installing translated versions" in Chapter 1 of the Quick Beginnings for i5/OS: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.mq.amqwac.doc/iq10120_.htm.

The PTF which is applicable to the "Common Services" component uses a PTF exit program called AMQIPTFX. If WebSphere MQ has not been fully quiesced AND subsystem QMQM has not been shut down, then performing APYPTF or RMVPTF will not run to completion and AMQIPTFX will log the messages shown below:

INFO Using exit program AMQIPTFX.1.6 for product 5724H72 and PTF SIxxxxx
CPF1010 Subsystem name QMQM active.
AMQ6903 Installation failed, WebSphere MQ resources are still active.
