Performing in-place broker migration for a Version 7.0 broker on z/OS
Migrate a broker to use the enhanced facilities available in WebSphere® Message Broker Version 8.0.
Before you start:
- Back up your broker resources by following the instructions in Backing up WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0 resources.
- For the latest details of all supported levels of hardware and software, visit the WebSphere Message Broker Requirements website.
- Install WebSphere MQ and migrate your queue managers and other resources, following the instructions that are provided in the WebSphere MQ information center.
- Ensure that you are familiar with the steps involved in creating a broker on z/OS®; for more details, see Creating a broker on z/OS.
- Ensure that you are familiar with the mqsimigratecomponents command that the JCL (Job Control Language) file uses to migrate a broker.
- Check that you have no aggregations in progress. When you migrate a broker to Version 8.0, any live data that is being stored for aggregations in progress is lost.
- If the broker runs in a locale that is not listed in Locales, check that the code page is one of the supported code pages and that the locale is set up correctly.
To migrate a WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0 broker to Version 8.0 on z/OS, complete the following steps.
- Open the WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit Version 7.0, and remove the broker from the domain configuration.
- Stop the Version 7.0 broker.
- Complete the steps that are defined in Creating a broker on z/OS to create a new PDSE with customised Version 8.0 JCL scripts, but stop before you create the Broker component.
- Customize and submit the BIPMGCMP (mqsimigratecomponents) job. This job migrates the registry and queue.
- Complete the steps that are defined in Creating a broker on z/OS to replace the Version 7.0 Started Task JCL that is in the procedures library with the Version 8.0 Started Task JCL.
- Start the Version 8.0 broker. The verification program checks the configuration of the broker.
