And Now The End Is Near for MQ on HP-UX and Solaris

October 2, 2018 Roger Lacroix

During David Ware’s “What’s New in IBM MQ?” session at MQ Technical Conference v2.0.1.8, the following was announced (see slide 46 of the PDF):

  • IBM MQ on HP-UX
    • Not on CD stream: Last release: MQ V9.0 LTS
    • Statement of Direction: No further releases.

  • IBM MQ on Solaris
    • Not on CD stream: Last release: MQ V9.1 LTS
    • Statement of Direction: No further releases after 9.1.

So, if you are using MQ on HP-UX and/or Solaris, then you may want to plan new hardware upgrades, so that you don’t get left behind.
