Use this task to move from the embedded WebSphere JMS provider to WebSphere MQ 6.x as the provider of messaging services and resources for WebSphere enterprise applications.
Why and when to perform this task
To move from the embedded WebSphere JMS provider to WebSphere MQ as the provider of messaging services and resources for WebSphere enterprise applications, you need to install and configure a supported level of WebSphere MQ with the required MQ features.
Existing JMS resource definitions for the embedded WebSphere JMS provider continue to work with WebSphere MQ as the JMS provider, so you do not need to redefine those JMS resources. However, to take advantage of the extra configuration options for WebSphere MQ, you can use the administrative console to define new JMS resources as WebSphere MQ resources; for example, to define MQ Queue Connection Factories.
Steps for this task
For information about installing WebSphere MQ, or migrating to WebSphere MQ from an earlier release, see the appropriate WebSphere MQ Quick Beginnings book.

Optionally, for WebSphere MQ publish/subscribe messaging, install a Publish/Subscribe broker, such as WebSphere MQ Event Broker to gain full publish/subscribe functionality. Refer to the installation instructions for the other broker for hints and tips on installation.
For more information about installing WebSphere Event Broker (formerly WebSphere MQ Event Broker) or WebSphere Message Broker (formerly WebSphere MQ Integrator), see the following Web sites:
