[Info-vax] MQ on Alpha ?

[Jan-Erik Söderholm]

Hi !

We are investigating using MQ on a couple of Alpha's.

There are a few things that my browsning of the docs
didn't seemed to answer...

Do I need the Java kit on the Alpha's ?

It seems as some part of the license registration uses
Java, but there is also a (stripped down ?) JVM shipped
with the install kit to be used in the lic registration.
As far as I understood from the docs, that would be
enought for the installation to work without needing
a full Java install on the Alpha's...

It seems as the "MQ-folkes" also want to use some Tivoli
tools for managing MQ, and that might need Java !?

(No, we don't have Java installed right now, and I'm not
a major Java-fan myself...)

The apps using MQ will be in COBOL, which seems just fine
from the viewpoint of MQ.

The current MQ kit for VMS is some 6.x kit, right ?
The current MQ version seems to be 7.x, but I don't
think that is a major problem, or ?

Anything else in regard to MQ on VMS that I'd better
know about ? :-)

I'm not *that* concerned, IBM is in many respects (quality
of the documentation and so on) quite like the old DEC. :-)


Regards,
Jan-Erik.
