Backing up WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0 resources

Back up your resources before you start to migrate components to WebSphere® Message Broker Version 8.0.

Before you start:

To plan your migration strategy, read Preparing for migration.

Before you complete migration tasks, back up your WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0 resources by completing the following steps.
  1. Optional: If your message flows access user databases through an ODBC connection, back up the ODBC files that you use for these connections. Take a copy of these files and store them safely in a different location.
  2. Optional: If you created or configured configurable services for your message flows, record the properties of all your configurable services. For example, a message flow might access user databases through a JDBC connection, for which you configured a JDBCProvider configurable service. Run the mqsireportproperties command for these services, take a copy of the output, and store it safely in a different location.
  3. Back up your WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit workspace and resources; for example, message flow files, message set definition files, Java™ files, ESQL files, mapping files, XML Schema files, and broker archive (BAR) files.
    • Export all your projects from your Version 7.0 WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit.
    • Archive your workspace resources:
      • If you manage your workspace resources in a shared repository, for example CVS, follow standard backup procedures for safeguarding versions. Create a version for storing Version 8.0 resources.
      • If you maintain your workspace resources on a local or shared disk, copy your workspace directory to a different location.

Next:

After you back up your WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0 resources, update your ODBC definitions by following the instructions in Updating ODBC definitions when migrating.
