Backing up WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.1 resources

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

Before you start:

Read Preparing for migration to plan your migration strategy.

Before you carry out migration tasks, back up your WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.1 resources by completing the following steps.
  1. Back up the broker database tables. On z/OS®, customize and submit the JCL member BIPBUDB. On other platforms, use the documented procedures that are provided by your database supplier.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 WebSphere Message Broker Toolkit Version 6.1.
    • 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.
For detailed instructions on how to back up these resources, see the WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.1 information center.
Next: After you back up your WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.1 resources, update your ODBC definitions by following the instructions in Updating ODBC definitions when migrating.
