Migrating a Version 5.0 broker to Version 6.0 on distributed operating systems: at the same location

To migrate a Version 5.0 broker on distributed operating systems to Version 6.0 at the same location, complete the following steps:
  1. Stop the Version 5.0 broker. For detailed instructions, see the WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker Version 5.0 information center.
  2. Install WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker Version 6.0 in the same location where WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker Version 5.0 is installed. For detailed instructions, see Installation Guides.

    When you install WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker Version 6.0, the mqsiupdateinstance command is invoked to migrate database tables and queues associated with the broker. [ADD MQSIUPDATEINSTANCE TO RELATED LINKS]

Before you start

To complete this task you must have either a Version 5.0 or a Version 6.0 Message Brokers Toolkit available.

If the lack of availability of a broker during migration is an issue, you might want to migrate the broker to a different location on the same system or on a second system. Complete the following steps:
  1. Install WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker Version 6.0 either as a new instance on the system where WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker Version 5.0 is installed, or on a different system. For detailed instructions, see Installation Guides.
  2. Create a Version 6.0 broker and start it. For detailed instructions, see Creating a broker and Starting and stopping a broker.

    Brokers cannot share queue managers. You cannot migrate a broker to a queue manager that is already being used by an existing broker. You must give your Version 6.0 broker a name that is different from the name of the Version 5.0 broker.

  3. Add the new broker to the domain. Complete the following tasks:
  4. Write a list of the execution groups that you have on the Version 5.0 broker, and create these same execution groups on the new broker.

    You can use either the Version 5.0 or Version 6.0 Message Brokers Toolkit to do this. For detailed instructions, see Adding an execution group to a broker or the WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker Version 5.0 information center.

  5. Deploy the message flows of the Version 5.0 broker to the Version 6.0 broker.

    You can use either the Version 5.0 or Version 6.0 Message Brokers Toolkit to do this. For detailed instructions, see Deploying message flow applications or the WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker Version 5.0 information center.

  6. Configure any other desired properties of the Version 5.0 broker on the Version 6.0 broker. For example, you might need to configure properties that you set using the mqsichangeproperties command, or as a result of using certain nodes, such as Publication or SCADA nodes.
  7. Stop the Version 5.0 broker. For detailed instructions, see the WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker Version 5.0 information center.
  8. Remove the Version 5.0 broker from the workbench. For detailed instructions, see the WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker Version 5.0 information center.
  9. Redeploy the topology. For detailed instructions, see Deploying a topology configuration.
  10. Delete the Version 5.0 broker. For detailed instructions, see the WebSphere Business Integration Event Broker Version 5.0 information center.
