MQ

Hi there,

This sounds like you are setting up a new RHEL server and you want to create a queue manager with the same name as the old queue manager on the old machine, and copy all the object definitions over to that new queue manager? Would that be an accurate summary of what you need to do? Do you have any requirement to copy over application queue messages as well, or have all the application drained their queues before you start this process?

Cheers,

Hello Santosh:

The following tutorials can be helpful:

a) The following is a a type of "light" backup and the following items are NOT backed up: Recovery Logs and Queue Files with messages.
This is helpful when you want to create a new queue manager, based on the object definitions from an existing queue manager.
.
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/738087
Steps to export the object definitions and messages from one MQ queue manager in host-1 and import them in another queue manager in host-2? (dmpmqcfg, saveqmgr)
Using MQ utility dmpmqcfg and dmpmqmsg.

.

b) The following is more comprehensive, and it is for "moving" a queue manager from one Linux host to another Linus host.

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6114082
Taking a backup for moving files of an MQ queue manager from one Linux host to another Linux host.
The quick description of the procedure is to take a backup of the files from host-1 and restore them in host-2.
It provides also details on how to restore the backup data.
The procedure is for all the data, messages and recovery logs.

.

I hope that this is helpful.

Thank you!
