Using scripts to automate the backup proces on MQ Appliances

  • 1.  Using scripts to automate the backup proces on MQ Appliances

    Posted Fri November 10, 2017 04:32 PM

    What we wanted to do is have an automated system backup of the MQ Appliances, for example we want every day to create a backup. So somewhere there must be running a script that can create a backup, how we can create such an automated backup ?

    We can't run a script on MQ appliance right ?

    We use MQ version 8.0.0.6

    We also use DPBuddy which we can use on datapower for build and backup automation. Is DPBuddy usable also on the MQ Appliance M2001B ?

    Thanks,

    Bernard

    You are correct that you cannot run a script on the MQ Appliance for backup - since you cannot write the output file there. There are many different tools that can be used to backup the objects from a queue manager (any queue manager appliance or otherwise) by connecting in over a client.

    I think even dmpmqcfg can run as a client.

    I don't know about DPBuddy. Have you asked the people who make it whether they support MQ as well as DataPower?

    Cheers,
    Morag

    Hi  Morag,

    Yes for me dmpmqcfg on a remote client can do the job, thanks for your support.
