We have a Client-Server application, please find details below.
Client : C# Client (Windows Forms)
Service : C# Server (Remoting)
Backend : SQL Server 2014
Can we utilize IBM MQ for sending messages from the above application to a Linux machine("IBM MQ 9.1.0.7 for RHEL server")?
Is this possible? If so, do we need to utilize "IBM MQ 9.2.0.1 Client for Windows"?

I was following IBM tutorial "Getting Started with IBM App Connect Enterprise 12". (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sj2FR31PQM&t=1006s)
Great tutor, as IBM videos are. BUT :
"BIP2684E" : A component was configured to use IBM MQ, but required MQ libraries are not available.
I have MQ broker running locally in docker container (IBM dev image) and ACE toolkit with MQ-policy.
What do I need to do to have those missing libraries ?
Required libraries for IBM ACE Toolkit (server) to be able to connect to IBM MQ server ? Please ??
I have googled couple of hours and all I can find from IBM documentations is how to configure this and that.
But "missing libraries" ?!!?!
You need to install MQ to use features that connect to MQ:

My understanding is that if I am using in my application the IBM.XMS.dll I aslo need to have installed in the application server the MQ Client to allow connections with the MQ Server.
What about the new libraries which support .NET Core amqmdnetstd.dll & amqmxmsstd.dll?. Are they independent of the MQ client?. Is it enough to have those DLLs bundled in your application, so you don't need the installation of MQ client in the application server?
I assume you are working with MQ 9.1.
Installing IBM MQ classes for .NET Standard says that amqmdnetstd.dll is the successor of amqmdnet.dll, and Using XMS with Microsoft .NET Core says that amqmxmsstd.dll is the successor of the IBM.XMS.* libraries. These two articles link both to Using the stand-alone IBM MQ .NET client, which says that you can use only the DLL as MQ client.
So reading all this I would say that is enough to bundle the two DLLs with your application.
I would like to know if the Basic IBM MQ Server licence cost, covers also the IBM Websphere MQ web console and the REST API.
As JoshMc already answered in the comments: The MQ Console and MQ REST API are part of the MQ product.
These components are also not specifically mentioned on the IBM MQ licensing page as a separate product, so it complies to the "All other IBM MQ components from the install media not explicitly mentioned above" rule.
I want to use IBM Websphere MQ client v7.5. I am writing standalone JMS client application to send and consume messages from the IBM WebsphereMQ server(which is running somewhere else but I have authority to send/receive messages)
I followed steps below:
Installed Websphere MQ client(Free version for 6 months) and did all basic installation.
I copied required Jar to other location/host and wrote a sample JMS application to send/receive messages. I am able to communicate to with the server.
My questions is : Can I use these Jars independently on any host(even in production) for life long or I should buy proper licence, install the client and then use those JARs ?
Thanks,
Anuj
MQ v8.0.0.4 provides exactly what you want. See here: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21969244. Look for IBM MQ JMS and Java 'All Client'. Client is free but whoever runs the queue manager must have appropriate licenses.
Is Oracle Service Bus supported by any application server in the backend - for eg: weblogic application server? Or does it have its own implementation of application server?
Tibco has something called EMS which is its implementation of JMS spec. Does OSB have its own implementation of JMS? Or does it utilize the capabilities of any application server which it is integrated with?
OSB runs on Weblogic and it is the only suppoorted application server. Some other fussion Middleware products can run on WebShpere. Details can be found in http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/fmw-11gr1certmatrix.xls
OSB don't have its own JMS implementation. It can use any standard JMS (e.g. one shipped with Weblogic). It has also adapters for IBM WebSphere MQ.
