Read about differences between Version 2.1 and Version 6.0 products.
You can migrate the message flows that you have created in your Version 2.1 product (WebSphere MQ Event Broker, WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker, or WebSphere MQ Integrator) and use them in WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0.
If you are migrating from WebSphere MQ Event Broker Version 2.1, all information in this topic that refers to user-defined plug-ins and ESQL does not apply; these facilities are not available on WebSphere MQ Event Broker Version 2.1.
If you have migrated from WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker Version 2.1, you might have written message flows that handle XML messages that use XML namespaces. In Version 2.1, such XML messages are parsed in a different way to that used by WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0. While such message flows will continue to work correctly when hosted by Version 6.0, upgrade them to make them namespace aware.
You might want to change the message flows that you migrate to take advantage of the new nodes and features that are available in Version 6.0. For example, you might want to replace a user-defined node that receives web services requests with the built-in HTTPInput node.
You can migrate more than one message flow at one time if you want them to be defined in the same message flow project. You must migrate subflows and user-defined nodes with the message flows in which they are included to ensure consistent references.
If you have defined more than one message flow with the same name, or the message flow has been exported into more than one export file, the migration task overwrites, without warning, any existing message flow with the next flow that it finds of the same name. Therefore, be careful to avoid conflicts, and to ensure that the most recent version of a message flow that has been defined more than once is the last one that you migrate.
If you have multiple versions of the same message flow, which you use as a subflow in other flows in the same migration directory, the results of the import process are unpredictable.
