  • 1.  Move from Continuous Delivery to LTS

    Posted Tue March 22, 2022 09:16 AM
    Hi Everyone,

    My team had by mistake downloaded and installed MQ v9.2.1.0 (part of Continuous Delivery) instead of MQ v9.2.0.5 (LTS). Appreciate if I can get some guidance to move from the existing CD installation to LTS.

    I am looking at an option that doesn't involve uninstallation of the existing setup.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    Migrating from CD to LTS is only possible to a higher level LTS version than the CD.
    Starting with CD 9.2.x.y, you have to migrate to LTS 9.3, which does not yet exist.
    At this point, there are 3 solutions:
    • Remove the Queue Manager, uninstall the CD version, and install the 9.2 LTS
    • Wait for the 9.3 LTS version to be available. The 9.2 LTS was announced in summer 2020, so it is possible that 9.3 will be announced in summer 2022.
    • Migrate to CD 9.2.5, which is newer than 9.2.1, and then upgrade to 9.3 as soon as it is available
    HTH, LMD.
