    Hello Ranjitha,
    When you talk about "copying data", do you mean messages (in MQ queues), configuration (queues, channels, etc.) or MQ logs?

    If this is the MQ configuration, you can use the dmpmqcfg command (DMPMQMCFG on iSeries) to obtain a file in MQSC format, which can be injected into the new Queue Manager with the "runmqsc -f" command.
    Don't forget to include any additions in the qm.ini file.

    HTH, LMD.

    Hello, We have a Queue Manager QM1, it has multiple queues, and we want to copy all the queues present under QM1 to target Queue Manager QM2

    Do you want to copy the queue definitions, or the messages that are on the queues from QM1 to QM2?

    If the queue definitions, then the answer above from LMD shows you what to do.

    If the messages, then you may find this useful: Migrating a Queue Manager?

    Cheers,
    Morag

    On QM1 side :

    dmpmqcfg -m QM1 -t queue > qm1_230124.mqsc

    ref. : https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/ibm-mq/9.3?topic=reference-dmpmqcfg-dump-queue-manager-configuration

    On QM2 side :

    runmqsc QM2 -f qm1_230124.mqsc

    End and restart QM2 after this.

    HTH, LMD.

    Do you have the Avada Software product? All you'd need to do is display the Q list,  click all, click the download button. You'll get a properly formatted mqsc file.  You could also click another button to retain or lose the oam affiliations. Should take 1 minute to do.

    There's also a clone function which will copy them and create them on the other QM for you, (no mqsc file, but it gives an audit record of what occurred).
