Is it possible to download MQ on windows server? - ibm-mq

Hello im new on this type of software i had serch on Google about MQ but all what i find is that it can be install on linux windows xp ...
so this may be stupid but is there any way to install MQ on windows server

is there any way to install MQ on windows server
Yes. If you have purchased it you should be able to download it for production use via IBM Passport Advantage, all the details can be seen here:
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24043697
If you only want to use it for personal developer use, you can use the free developer edition, which can be found here:
https://developer.ibm.com/messaging/mq-downloads/
So for clarity, 9.1 is the latest LTS (long term service) release, 9.1.1 is the latest CD (continuous delivery) release. Which is more useful depends on what you are trying to use. It is supported on a range of operating systems, including Windows.
From the 9.1 SOE (System requirements), this is supported in windows server 2016 and windows server 2012r2 (that's the server o/s's as well Windows 10 and 8.1 for desktops). If you need older operating system support, you need to look at older MQ releases, such as 9.0*, 8.0* etc.

MQ windows drivers can be installed on any windows machine, depending upon the system requirement for particular MQ, it is not restricted to Windows XP only

What versions of OSes and/or its components does Amazon Corretto 8 support?

The docs say stuff like "Windows x64", but what does it mean with regards to operating system versions? What Windows Server is it compatible with, for example?
Same thing with "Linux x64", there is no such operating system of course, it all comes down to a particular minimal kernel version requirement, perhaps a minimum glibc version or something.
Is this information available anywhere please?
Windows builds are supported on Windows 7 and 10, and on Windows Server 2008, 2012, and 2016.

Updating IBM Websphere 8.5.5.14 and Java 1.7 on windows 2008 Server

I have a task to update 8.5.5.2 web sphere to 8.5.5.14 on a windows 2008 server. I have java 1.7 already installed (and java 6 as well) and all the profiles uses it.
How ever when i try to apply fix patch using IBM installation manager, by default it's installing Java 8 which is not supported on windows 2008.
Is there a way where i can by pass java 8 and install only the fix patch (8.5.5.14) from installation manager.
Any pointer/help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Installation Manager Screenshot:
No, WebSphere 8.5.5.14 requires Java 8, and Java 8 is not supported on Windows 2008 Server. If you must stay with Windows 2008 you can't update WebSphere past 8.5.5.13. More detail here: IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition 8.0 Minimum Supported Operating Systems
This is what IBM documentation ( https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27045339 ) says, I did some shortcuts to make key points easier to notice in a long article:
In 8.5.5.14 and later, it is planned that (Java8) SDK will be required for all new installations and all updates (fixpacks).
In 8.5.5.14 (...) prior operating system releases (such as Windows 2008 (...) ) will no longer be supported.
So unfortunately what you are trying to do is not supported:
Although Java7 is still fine as a runtime environment for your servers, for example if your business application is not yet Java8 compatible, you need to have Java8 installed as a default JVM for Websphere 8.5.5.14 "internal" requirements.
You cant have IBM's Java8 installed in Windows2008, which is mandatory for Websphere 8.5.5.14, that means you cant install Websphere 8.5.5.14.
In the end, I would like to remind you, that you can upgrade to a previous release: 8.5.5.13. Version 8.5.5.13 is 11 fixpacks newer than what you already have, maybe it will suffice for your needs.
Bottom line - upgrade windows to a current version that's not 11 years old. Or, better yet, put it on Linux. WAS is great on Linux! Red Hat, Suse, OpenSuse, Fedora, CentOS are good flavors.

Windows upgradation in Azure

Do we have an option to upgrade Windows OS in Azure?
I'm looking for a solution to upgrade my WINDOWS OS in Azure. I didn't find any answer.
Is there any alternative way to do this?
As per the following KB
Microsoft does not support an upgrade of the operating system of a Microsoft Azure virtual machine"
To work around this issue, create an Azure VM that's running a supported version of an operating system, and then migrate the workload (Method 1, preferred), or download and upgrade the VHD of the VM (Method 2).

Is it possible to install Oracle 11g server version on Windows 7?

I want to install Oracle 11g Server on my Windows 7 (Non-Server OS) system.
If it is possible, then what steps can I follow for Client and Server installation?
Is it possible to install Oracle 11g server version on Windows 7?
Yes, it is possible.
what steps can I follow for Client and Server installation?
Follow the installation manual: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/nav/portal_11.htm
Chapter "Microsoft Windows Installation Guides".
There are separate manuals for 32 and 64-bit systems there, choose the right one depending on a "bitness" of your system.
As mentioned, you just need to follow the linked installation guide closely. And to that I would draw your attention to the list of supported operating systems under "Software Requirements". Note that it excludes "home" editions of Windows. Some people report they have installed on home editions, but it is not supported by Oracle and your mileage may vary.
You could always install VirtualBox (free) then use that to create a vm running Oracle Linux (free) and install Oracle on that.
