Before you start:
When you migrate a broker domain from WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker Version 2.1 to WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker Version 5.0, you can preserve some or all of your brokers at the Version 2.1 level. These brokers can participate in the Version 5.0 broker domain but, at any time subsequently, you can migrate the brokers to the Version 5.0 level of code, and you can do this in stages if you want. This topic describes how to migrate a Version 2.1 broker to Version 5.0 when the Version 2.1 broker is already participating in a Version 5.0 broker domain.
If two or more brokers run on the same UNIX or Windows system, migrate them all at the same time. See Conditions for a Version 2.1 broker participating in a Version 5.0 broker domain for more information. If two or more brokers share the same set of database tables, migrate all of these brokers at the same time. If you do need to migrate multiple brokers, on the same system or on different systems, adapt the instructions that follow.
The information in this topic assumes that you are migrating a WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker Version 2.1 broker. The same information applies, however, if you are migrating a WebSphere MQ Integrator Version 2.1 broker. Simply replace all references to "WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker" with "WebSphere MQ Integrator" in the instructions that follow.
If you are migrating a WebSphere MQ Integrator Version 2.1 broker that is participating in a WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker with Rules and Formatter Extension Version 5.0 broker domain, replace all references to "WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker" with "WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker with Rules and Formatter Extension" in the instructions that follow. For instructions on how to migrate the New Era of Networks Rules and Formatter support for WebSphere MQ Integrator, see the New Era of Networks documentation.
To migrate a Version 2.1 broker to Version 5.0, follow the instructions below:
