You can migrate to WebSphere® Message Broker Version 8.0 from previous versions of the product.

You cannot migrate from the Windows on x86 product (any version) to the Windows on x86-64 product. Similarly, you cannot migrate from the Linux on x86 product (any version) to the Linux on x86-64 product. You must re-create the brokers from scratch.

For the latest details of all supported levels of hardware and software, visit the WebSphere Message Broker Requirements website.

From ... You can migrate to ...
WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.11 WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0
WebSphere Message Broker with Rules and Formatter Extension Version 6.11 WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.02
WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.03 WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0
WebSphere Message Broker with Rules and Formatter Extension Version 7.03 WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.02

You can migrate from WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0 or Version 6.1 only to a full edition of WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0, Remote Adapter Deployment, Express® Edition, or Standard Edition. Do not migrate brokers from an earlier version to the Developer Edition. If you choose to migrate brokers by using the mqsimigratecomponents command, the broker is migrated in its current mode. If you purchased the Remote Adapter Deployment, Express Edition, or Standard Edition, you must change the mode of all your migrated brokers to comply with the terms of your license. For more information, see Changing the operation mode of your broker.

Notes:
  1. You can migrate Version 6.1 products at Fix Pack 3 (Version 6.1.0.3) or later. You must first ensure your WebSphere MQ installation is at a supported version, by upgrading if necessary.

    If you are using WebSphere Application Server with WebSphere Message Broker, or you have publish/subscribe applications that use the SubIdentity option, you must upgrade WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.1 to Fix Pack 9 before you can migrate to WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0.

  2. You can migrate to WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0 only if you do not use the additional features that are provided by Rules and Formatter, or you choose not to use them after migration. To take advantage of equivalent functionality in Version 8.0, you must redesign your applications.
  3. You do not need to apply maintenance to your WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0 installation before you migrate to WebSphere Message Broker Version 8.0, but you must first ensure your WebSphere MQ installation is at a supported version, by upgrading if necessary.
