What does the IBM site say about supported operating systems for WMQ V7 & Broker V7?
That should be your first port of call.
Then come back here with further questions.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

Has anyone tried to get this combination to work:
1. Windows 2008 64-bit OS
2. 64-bit DB2,
3. 7.0.1 MQ
4. 6.1.0.3 Broker |

I would like to refer the gentleman to my previous answer to this question
Ok, it might work but unless the IBM docs say so you are on your own.
I ruin Broker on a Netbook (MSI-Wind) running Fedora 12. Works? Yes. Supported? Nope.
It is portable... When connected to an external LCD display, development is entierly feasible. Just don't try to do any performance testing.
If I run into problems then I test it out of RHEL or Solaris or Windows befroe even thinking about raising a PMR.

| As per the IBM documentation this combination is supported. It worked when we installed DB2 9.5 (32-bit) on Windows 2008 (64-bit). After we upgraded the DB2 to 64-bit the Broker is unable to start. We've opened a PMR with IBM to know what combination would work on a 64-bit platform. Our objective is to setup a true 64-bit runtime environment for the Broker on Windows platform. |

I suspect that for V7, Windows 7 & true 64bit won't appear until FP1 arrives

We received an answer from IBM.
| Quote: |
Currently, no version of WMB supports 64bit EGs on a Windows platform.
While WMB will function with 64bit DB2, please keep in mind that on platforms that support 32-bit execution groups, the broker needs 32-bit access to the data source:
|
It looks like we cannot run Broker EGs in 64-bit mode yet, so we are going with 32-bit EGs for now with 64-bit DB2 and MQ.
