MQ Metric Samples does not support s390x about mq-metric-samples HOT 3 CLOSED

I still think adding s390x support would be beneficial but I was able to get a temporary solution (posting here in case anyone comes across this).

By editing the Dockerfile I can build the mq-metric-samples image. I needed to get the 9.2.0.10-IBM-MQC-UbuntuLinuxS390X package from here, untar, navigate to the new MQClient directory then install with apt install ibmmq-runtime_<version>_s390x.deb && apt install ibmmq-sdk_<version>_s390x.deb&& apt install ./ibmmq-gskit_<version>_s390x.deb && apt install ./ibmmq-client_<version>_s390x.deb && apt install ./ibmmq-runtime_<version>_s390x.deb && apt install ./ibmmq-samples_<version>_s390x.deb .

Dealing with a set of "real" installation can be tricky in the general case. (Just see the mq-container repository for examples of what you have to do.) But I think I can modify the current basic Dockerfile in a relatively clean way with some assumptions.

For example, it will be .deb files only as that Dockerfile uses an Ubuntu base. You must obtain the image yourself and then copy files into a specific directory of the repo. I don't want to complicate things or proliferate build scripts/Dockerfiles too much. And these are meant as samples, so some customisation is expected.

I'll look to publish something in the next update.

You can do this now via the Dockerfile build process provided you have the deb files available in an MQINST directory
