How To


Summary

Installing Standalone IBM MQ Explorer 9.4 in Windows and Linux

Objective

To provide detailed steps on how to install the Standalone IBM MQ Explorer 9.4 in Windows and Linux.
The Standalone MQ Explorer can be used to connect to local and remote queue managers from any currently supported versions of IBM MQ.
MQ Explorer is backward compatible with older versions such as 8.0, 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3.
Starting with MQ 9.3 there are changes that affect the delivery of the MQ Explorer:
  - MQ Explorer has been removed from the main product installers (Linux x86-64 and Windows), but continues to be available as a standalone download from:
https://ibm.biz/mqexplorer
  - MQ Explorer is delivered as a CD component only, so you will need to take updates in line with our CD releases.

Steps

++ CAVEAT: 

If you have queue managers in the host, such as using Installation1, then you MUST run the "setmqenv" command for Installation1, BEFORE you start the MQ Explorer.
 
Why? This will allow the MQ Explorer to see the local queue managers that use Installation1.
If you do not issue setmqenv before starting the MQ Explorer, then the local queue managers will NOT be shown!
