Hi all, I have a existing MQ Server, 5.2, and am migrating to a new MQ 5.3 Server both on Windows 2000 Server. I have duplication all the qmngrs and queues etc on new server.
How do I move existing messages on queues to the new MQ server once I pull the plug on the old one?
IBM referred me to MA01.zip. But that only moves messages to a file, and when I restore from file to new server the messages are duplicated and not readable.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

No, MA01 can also write to a Queue.
Set up a Remote that points to the 'replacement' Queue and use 'q'. Don't forget the options that maintain the data in the MQMD.
And I hope these QMs aren't in a Cluster. It will get very confused with 2 QMs of the same name.
Cheers,

OK, your answer is reassuring, but I dont know how to deploy. How do I setup a remote queue to point to the other server on the same network. And can you give me an example on how to script this. My problem is that I will have a few qmanagers with a few queues each that need to move messages to the new server with the same qmanager and queue names.
Thanks. |

I hope I misunderstood this question, otherwise you shouldn't be doing what you are doing...

To migrate the messages, you can use the WMQTool prgram (for java) http://www.niratul.com and
connect to OLD qmgr, export all the messages.
Then connect to NEW QMGR and import the messages.
I hope this help you
