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. |
The Oracle server that acts as the Oracle integrating server requires the latest patch set for Oracle Database 10g.
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
