Migrating the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer

Migrate from a previous version of the WebSphere® Message Broker Explorer to the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer Version 8.0.

Before you start:

One version only of the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer can be active at any one time because one version only of the WebSphere MQ Explorer can be installed on any one system.

If you already have WebSphere Message Broker Explorer installed, and you decide to install a later version of WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, you must replace the existing version.

If you add another installation of WebSphere MQ after you install WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, you must install WebSphere Message Broker Explorer again to enable it in all WebSphere MQ installations.

To migrate from a previous version of WebSphere Message Broker Explorer to WebSphere Message Broker Explorer Version 8.0, complete the following steps:
  1. Uninstall your current version of WebSphere Message Broker Explorer. You can uninstall the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer only if you are the administration user (for example, root on Linux on x86 and Linux on x86-64, or Administrator on Windows). For more information about uninstalling WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, see the following topic: Uninstalling WebSphere Message Broker Explorer Version 7.0
  2. Check that no files exist in the previous installation directory.
  3. Install WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.
After you install the new version of the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, if you are upgrading from an existing version of the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, you must complete the following steps:
  1. To initialize the new version of the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, run the following command from a command line in which the mqsiprofile command has not run:
    strmqcfg -i

    To run this command, you must be the administration user.

  2. Start WebSphere Message Broker Explorer either by using the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer Windows shortcut or by running the following command from a command line in which the mqsiprofile command has not run:
    strmqcfg -c -d 

Windows platformOn Windows, the Add/Remove program panels point to the new installation location. To remove the older version, navigate to the old location on the file system and run the uninstaller that is located there.

If you previously installed the IS02: WebSphere Message Broker Explorer plug-in SupportPac, you must complete the following steps before you install WebSphere Message Broker Explorer:
  1. Move or delete the location to which you extracted the IS02 SupportPac.
  2. Delete the BrokerExplorer.link file, which you copied into the links directory. On Windows the directory name is C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\eclipseSDK33\eclipse\links\. On Linux on x86 and Linux on x86-64, the directory name is /opt/mqm/eclipseSDK33/eclipse/links.
  3. Start WebSphere Message Broker Explorer either by using the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer Windows shortcut or by running the following command from a command line in which the mqsiprofile command has not run:
    strmqcfg -c -d
  4. If you want a new installation of your WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, complete one of the following steps:
    • Move or delete the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer metadata directory. On Windows, the directory name is C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\IBM\MQ Explorer\.metadata. On Linux on x86 and Linux on x86-64, the directory name is /home/user/.mqdata/.metadata.
    • Alternatively, switch your Eclipse workspace.

    Moving or deleting the metadata directory, or switching your Eclipse workspace, resets your WebSphere Message Broker Explorer to its initial startup state. You must then reconnect to any remote queue managers. Any local queue manager is discovered automatically.

You can now use the new version of WebSphere Message Broker Explorer. To start the WebSphere Message Broker Explorer, complete one of the following steps:
  • On Windows:

    Click Start > All Programs > IBM WebSphere Message Broker 8.0.0.0 > IBM WebSphere Message Broker Explorer.

  • On Linux on x86 and Linux on x86-64:

    Open a command shell in which the mqsiprofile command has not run and enter the strmqcfg command, or run /usr/bin/strmqcfg.
