Could any one let me know how can we check if we have valid licenses for IBM MQ.
Need to check it in LINUX, AIX and SunOS.
The IBM Technote "Upgrade the MQ trial version to a production version" states the following:
Verify that the new license was applied by checking that the correct
license file (amqpcert.lic) is in the /opt/mqm/lib.
The license is named amqXcert.lic, where X is the license type.
amqtcert.lic - is a trial license
amqbcert.lic - is a beta license
amqpcert.lic - is a full production license
The IBM MQ v7.1 Knowledge center page "Converting a trial license on UNIX, Linux, and Windows" states the following:
Obtain the full license from the fully licensed installation media.
Based on the above statements if you have the file amqpcert.lic in the lib directory of the IBM MQ installation it only indicates your software was installed from fully licensed installation media or was upgraded from a trial or beta license to a full production license using fully licensed installation media.
The presence of this file however does not indicate you have a valid license. A valid license would be based on what you have purchased. If you purchased a license for one server and then used that installation media to install IBM MQ on 100 servers, the license file would be present on all the servers but you would only have a valid license for one server.
The following discussion on the MQSERIES Listserv has some good information on distributed licensing "Re: License cost MQ - any overview?".
the approach in an IBM software license audit would be to run two commands against your server:
dspmqver shows the version deployed and if a Queue Manager is running
dspmq would show the actual queue and would be used to verify if you
have an MQ server installed or just a free MQ client

I have IBM App Connect Enterprice Toolkit on my Win 10 machine. Works OK.
But now I need to use IBM MQ queues. And that seems to need some MQ libraries installed on my setup.
How can I install those missing libraries?
There probably is a installation package, but I just cant find one.
The main link you want is https://developer.ibm.com/articles/mq-downloads/, which will lead you to https://developer.ibm.com/tutorials/mq-connect-app-queue-manager-windows/ which will lead you to https://ibm.biz/mqdevwindows
The final one is the download, but I'd recommend going through the steps in the second link for help on how to get it all set up.
I am altering a legacy software implemented with java spring. Now the challenge is I want to determine the appropriate Database that was used during the initial development.
I have seen somewhere on the code that that the hibernate dialect was org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect
So i want to use that piece information to determine which version of oracle to install.
Please i am new to Oracle, So a link to an appropriate url will be appreciated.
9 is an older version of Oracle Database that is no longer supported, and it is no longer available for download from Oracle's Database Software Downloads page. The Oracle9Dialect was deprecated back in 2008, so I wish you the best of luck with your legacy work because I'm sure it is long overdue.
You can request version 9 from Oracle if you have a valid Oracle Database product license (any version,) but if you do not, your options will likely only be third party hosts or acquiring installation media for version 9 by some other means. If you are working with an organization that has you supporting this legacy software, you may have some luck looking through old installation media or asking someone who has been with the company for a while.
From Oracle (bottom of Database Software Downloads page):
Oracle Database 10.2 and 11.1 are no longer available for download. The software is available as a media or FTP request for those customers who own a valid Oracle Database product license for any edition. To request access to these releases, follow the instructions in Oracle Support Document 1071023.1 (Requesting Physical Shipment or Download URL for Software Media) from My Oracle Support. NOTE: for Oracle Database 10.2, you should request 10.2.0.1 even if you want to install a later patch set. Once you install 10.2.0.1 you can then apply any 10.2 patch set. Similarly, for 11.1 request 11.1.0.6 which must be applied before installing 11.1.0.7. Patch sets can be downloaded from the Patches and Updates tab on My Oracle Support.
I have spent at least one hour trying to find the tar.gz for Linux, for version 11.1 or at least 10.5. All IBM links either don't work or take me to general DB2 pages that have nothing for Express-C. It's as if IBM is hiding the download links. In the past I have downloaded it several times from URLs that now don't work. I was only able to find the Windows version at a non-IBM site (a version I don't want).
Thanks for any pointers.
You can find the Express-C download at the below link:
https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/iwm/web/pickUrxNew.do?source=swg-db2expressc
If you are not using cloud based Db2 offerings, at the present date you can choose only between a docker-image based solution (IBM Db2 Developer Community Edition), or a trial version (90 days) of locally installed Db2.
The docker-image solution is currently V11.1 based and runs on Linux and Mac and Windows provided that the prerequisites are met.
Both offerings are accessible via this link
https://www.ibm.com/analytics/us/en/db2/trials/
Re Db2 Express-C, it may have been withdrawn from marketing. Study this thread:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=c53df683-6e51-41fa-96ce-0a3d7cfe741f&ps=25
If you have a Passport Advantage contract (for paying customers) you may find additional downloads.
Db2 Developer-C Edition is a non-docker version that can be used for non-production use for free

You can find the Express-C 11.1 in this link (IBM Account required)

Currently evaluating IBM MQ version 8, and trying to put message using console. I understand that in version 7.5 there is this command called amqsput & amqsget, however I can't found this command in version 8. Is there any equivalent command in version 8? Or do I need to use the MQExplorer for this?
There are many sample programs provided by IBM for this purpose. To obtain them for Linux, install the MQSeriesSamples RPM as described in Installing IBM MQ server on Linux.
After installation, the amqsput command will be available in /opt/mqm/samp/bin if the default install location is used.

Here are forks of useful MQ utilities Q and QLOAD (MA01 and MO03), they are unfortunately no longer supported by IBM.
The project is ready to build for most platforms.
If you are dealing with JMS messages (and not "plain" MQ messages), you can use a tool like JMSToolBox on sourceforge to post/browse/get etc messages
I'm running Apache on Windows 7 x64.
I'd like to find a tool to analyze Apache access log and to monitor server loads.
Is there a good analyzing / monitoring tool for Apache on windows 7?
Preferably with GUI.
Thanks
