FME Flow: 2024.2

Installing the JMS Libraries

An installation of FME Flow includes the libraries that are required for using JMS messaging with Apache ActiveMQ 5.6.0. For all other message brokers, vendor-specific JMS libraries must be acquired and installed alongside FME Flow.

Typically, vendor-specific JMS libraries are either available in the message broker’s installation, or available in a separate message broker client. In the case of IBM WebSphere MQ 7, for example, a separate client installation is available.

The table below provides links to appropriate software. For additional information, consult your vendor's documentation.

To install the JMS Libraries

  1. Download and install the software containing the vendor-specific JMS implementation library to the machine with the installation of FME Flow.
  2. Locate the required libraries. (See the table below, under "Libraries.")
  3. Note the directory containing the required libraries. When Configuring FME Flow as a JMS Client, this directory is added to the java classpath.
