    Hi Kumari

    I'm no mq expert, but there are a couple of things in your mq config that you need to be mindful off.

    Some of your authrec's might contains information related to your host. Example:

    SET AUTHREC +
       PROFILE('@CLASS') +
       PRINCIPAL('mquser@MYHOSTNAME') +
       OBJTYPE(QUEUE) +
       AUTHADD(NONE)

    SET AUTHREC +
       PROFILE('SYSTEM.AMQP.COMMAND.QUEUE') +
       GROUP('mqm@MYHOSTNAME') +
       OBJTYPE(QUEUE) +
       AUTHADD(BROWSE,CHG,CLR,DLT,DSP,GET,INQ,PUT,PASSALL,PASSID,SET,SETALL,SETID)

    You  might have references to your old qmgr in your config, maybe in a channel name

    DEFINE CHANNEL('TO.QM1') +
       CHLTYPE(CLUSRCVR) +
    *  ALTDATE(2023-05-24) +
    *  ALTTIME(10.52.15) +
       CLUSTER('C1') +
       CONNAME('MYHOSTNAME(1415)') +
       MCATYPE(THREAD) +
       TRPTYPE(TCP)

    If you use SSL keys, might need to look at that as well

       SSLKEYR('C:\ProgramData\IBM\MQ\qmgrs\QM1\ssl\key') 

    You can definitely clone the qmgr, but have a look at the dumped config and change these settings first.

    "is it okay to restore queue manager configuration in changed queue manager name? I need to move queue manager to newly build host. "

    Yes, IBM's recommended procedure for moving a queue manager follows:

    IBM MQ offers you a variety of tools (control commands, MQSC commands, IBM MQ Explorer, etc.) to save objects and their attribute values, and then restore them to a newly created queue manager.  There is also a control program to save messages in queues to a file, then restore the file to the newly created queue managers queues.

    dmpmqcfg -m xxxx > /tmp/xxx.txt

    xxxx is your MQ Queue Manager and file will be saved on your tmp folder. 

    Now modify the HOSTNAME where ever required.
