Performing in-place broker migration for a Version 6.1 broker on z/OS
Migrate a broker to use the enhanced facilities available in Version 8.0.
Before you start:
- Back up your broker resources by following the instructions in Backing up WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.1 resources.
- For the latest details of all supported levels of hardware and software, visit the WebSphere Message Broker Requirements website.
- You must migrate your queue managers to a supported version of WebSphere MQ before you can migrate your brokers.
- Optional: If your applications use publish/subscribe functions, and you have message flows that include one or more Publication nodes, you must migrate your subscriptions to a supported version of WebSphere MQ before you migrate the broker; for more information, see Migrating publish/subscribe information to WebSphere MQ.
- Ensure that you are familiar with the steps involved in Creating a broker on z/OS.
- Ensure that you are familiar with the mqsimigratecomponents command, which 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 6.1 broker to Version 8.0 on z/OS®, complete the following steps.
When you have completed migration, see Perform post-migration tasks for information about tasks that you might want to perform after migration.
