Performing parallel broker migration for a Version 6.1 broker
You can perform a parallel broker migration by creating a new WebSphere® Message Broker Version 8.0 broker to run in parallel with your existing WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.1 broker, to which you can migrate your application logic.
Before you start:
- For the latest details of all supported levels of hardware and software, visit the WebSphere Message Broker Requirements website.
- Back up your broker resources by following the instructions in Backing up WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.1 resources.
- Install WebSphere MQ and migrate your queue managers and other resources, following the instructions that are provided by WebSphere MQ.
- If your applications use publish/subscribe functions, and you have message flows that include one or more Publication nodes, you must redefine your subscriptions against WebSphere MQ before you migrate the broker; for more information, see Migrating publish/subscribe information to WebSphere MQ.
- Migrate the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit by following the instructions in Migrating development resources to WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit Version 8.0.
- Check that you have no aggregations in progress on this broker. When you migrate a broker to Version 8.0, all live data that is being stored for aggregations in progress is lost.
- If the broker runs in a locale that is not listed in Locales, check that the code page is one of the supported code pages, and that the locale is set up correctly.
Migrating application logic to a WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0 broker

same computer, or on a different computer, on a distributed operating
system, complete the following steps.
When you have completed migration, see the tasks in Perform post-migration tasks for information about tasks that you might want to perform after migration.
