				Ok so you can filter the MQSeriesMsg to only install your language.
 
The MQSeriesAMQP and MQSeriesAMS support the corresponding specific features...(MQ Light and Advanced Message Security).
 
The MQSeriesFT* packages support the file transfer.
 
 
Everything else you should install, and I would install AMQP packages as well.. as I am not aware that they undergo a different licensing...   _________________ MQ & Broker admin |

				do the setmqinst.  then source the setmqenv
 
 
Then run strmqcfg from that same command prompt.
 
 
If that still doesn't work, then open a PMR. _________________ chmod  -R ugo-wx / |

				To source some file into the current linux shell, you use the period.  So ".<space> file.sh".
 
 
Or ".<space>setmqenv <setmqenv options>" _________________ chmod  -R ugo-wx / |

Yes is does, and it should not be! The location of the JRE for explorer is set in the -vm entry of the file  /opt/mqm/bin/MQExplorer.ini ( assuming an installation in the default path).
 
 
It should look like this:
 
   
	| Code: | 
   
  
	-vm
 
/opt/mqm/java/jre64/jre/bin
 
-vmargs
 
-Xmx512M
 
 | 
   
 
 
Note the jre64 in the path.  That file is part of the MQSeriesExplorer package and should only be modified if the product is installed to a non-default location. _________________ Philip Morten

. /opt/mqm/bin/setmqinst -i -p /opt/mqm
 
. /opt/mqm/bin/setmqenv 
 
 |

When you run a command in a shell like below, that tells the shell interpreter to run the command as a child process (fork/exec) to your current shell process.  Therefore any environment variable updates that the command does would not be reflected in your current shell, after the command ends.

My  /opt/mqm/bin/MQExplorer.ini has exactly the same. |

				And did you check the path for the vm that is displayed in MQExplorer.ini ?
 
Do you have a java or javaw executable in this path? If yes what are the permissions on the files / directories...   _________________ MQ & Broker admin |

				1. Did you install "MQSeriesJava-8.0.0-4.x86_64.rpm"?  
 
2. Did you install "MQSeriesJRE-8.0.0-4.x86_64.rpm"?  
 
3. Did you set the JAVA_HOME environment  variable in your profile with /opt/mqm/java/jre64/jre  (no trailing "/bin")
 
4. Did you update the PATH environment in your profile with /opt/mqm/java/jre64/jre/bin
 
 
By "profile", I mean the user profile file i.e. ".profile" in the user's home directory.  i.e. do "ls -la" command to see hidden files in your home directory.  Note: I don't have a Ubuntu image, so I don't know if the profile file is called ".profile" in Ubuntu.
 
 
After you have done the above 4 steps, logout and then login again (Extremely important!!).  Next, run the following commands from the terminal window:
 
   
	| Code: | 
   
  
	set | grep PATH
 
set | grep JAVA_HOME
 
java -version | 
   
 
 
 
What is returned from those commands?
