Production ready version of IBM MQ MFT agent in container

[erre80]

Hello,

We are planning to install IBM MQ MFT agent in container on a Docker compose environment but when reading following online documentaion:https://community.ibm.com/community/user/integration/blogs/shashikanth-rao-thambrahalli/2022/10/23/ibm-mq-mft-agent-in-container-new-version-publishe, the versions delivered seems not to be production ready.
Do you have any LTS version that is production ready or have plans to release any production ready version soon?

We would like to install a fully functional agent with the possibility to send FTEcleanAgent commands, is that possible in the latest version?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

Yes, it's a "developer" only version as of now and not a production ready one.

The source code for the container image is published here in GitHub. You could build your own image using the source code. The agent running inside the container will be supported. Alternatively you could raise an enhancement request here.

The agent inside the container is fully functional.

Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for the update!
I think we will go-ahead and build our own image.
In addition are you planning to release a CIS hardened image for production?
In following link https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/mqmft there is reference for download of image from IBM Container Registry - icr.io/ibm-messaging/mqmft:latest, do you perhaps know if we need some credentials from IBM to be able to download the image?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out.

No credentials required to pull images from icr.io/ibm-messaging/ repository. Just podman pull icr.io/ibm-messaging/mqmft:latest will do the job.

Thank you
