What’s new in IBM MQ 9.3?

The latest long-term support (LTS) and continuous delivery (CD) release of IBM MQ will be released for the distributed platforms on June 23, 2022.

IBM MQ 9.3, again, has a focus on securely powering cloud-native applications across hybrid-multicloud as well as making it easier to get started.

The MQ 9.3 release includes:

• An improved getting-started experience.
• Simplified cloud-native deployment and improved high availability, scalability, and resilience.
• The ability to tap into existing data with streaming queues – see our blog post on this here.
• Enhanced administration with the MQ Console, whilst the MQ Explorer has been removed from the IBM MQ install package.
• Security enhancements that build on the existing robust security mechanisms in MQ.
• Enhancements to IBM MQ Advanced Managed File Transfer capabilities – see our page on MFT support here.
• Updates to the supported platforms i.e. Adoptium and IBM Semeru Java 11, Oracle and Adoptium Java 17, Windows 11, JMS 3.0, NET 6 support.
