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:
- Install WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker Version
6.0 either as a
new instance on the system where WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker Version
5.0 is
installed, or on a different system. For detailed instructions,
see Installation Guides.
- 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.
- Add the new broker to the domain. Complete the following
tasks:
- 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 Message Broker Version
5.0 information
center.
- Deploy the message flows and message sets 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 Message Broker Version
5.0 information center.
- 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.
- Stop the Version 5.0 broker. For detailed instructions, see the WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker Version
5.0 information
center.
- Remove the Version 5.0 broker from
the workbench. For detailed instructions,
see the WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker Version
5.0 information center.
- Redeploy the topology. For detailed instructions, see Deploying a topology configuration.
- Delete the Version 5.0 broker. For detailed instructions, see the WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker Version
5.0 information
center.
