Title says it all :)
No, seriously, I'm porting a C++ 32 bit application to 64 bit on windows. The application is a client of IBM WebSphere MQ. It uses the MQ client API.
Now, as the port progresses, I'm trying to find a 64 bit client. So far, no luck.
Does anyone here happen to know if where I can find one, or, god forbid, confirm that there isn't one?
Regards, Or
I found this page on IBM's site: IA94: IBM Message Service Client for C/C++. On it there is a link to a readme.txt file which, under "Supported environments" lists "Windows 2003 Server x64 edition - Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2005 Service Pack1".
Hope that helps!
Websphere MQ 7 for Windows supports x86 and x64, but not Itanium 64-bit. It only officially supports Visual C++ 2005 for development at the moment but IBM usually issues PTFs for toleration on a regular basis so it shouldn't be too long before C++ 2008 support is there.
The statements of support and requirements are hosted on IBM web pages at http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27011920 if you're interested in further details.
Since this is getting lots of views, let's provide the direct link to the WMQ V7 client download: http://bit.ly/bXM0q3
The System Requirements page for WMQ v7.0.1 ( http://bit.ly/aBlxb7 ) now lists Visual Studio 2008 as supported.
Note that some of the supporting code is 32 bit so the client installs to the Program Files (x86) directory.
The IA94 SupportPac referenced by another poster implements the JMS API over C++ and the supported environments for that SupportPac are a subset of those for the WMQ client. If you are not using the SupportPac, refer to the link above for System Requirements instead.
