MQ Backup & Migration

Hi

We are using MQ V5.3 in our mainframes. Could anyone tell me how to extract the user defined MQ Objects and how to backup, extract and restore the user defined MQ Objects in MQ V6. Is there any document on the MQ Data Migration? Kindly let me know.

Thank you
Regards
David.

When we went to V6.0 from V5.3, all I recall doing was to run a CSQUTIL job to update QMGR options before starting MQ. My notes say the migration actions are in the System Setup Guide for V6.0.

If you want to generate DEFINE stmnts for all the resources, use CSQUTIL with the MAKEDEF option. You'll get a deck that can be read back into CSQUTIL to recreate them.

Thanks Dennis,

Is there any doc's or pdf which deeply explains about the usage and syntaxes of CSQUTIL? because i am not sure how to code a JCL to backup or restore the user defined queues using CSQUTIL? Kindly help me on this.

Thanks You,
Regards,
David.

The MQ documentation is here at www-306.ibm.com/software/integration/wmq/library/

Look in the System Administration Guide for info in CSQUTIL

thanks juagalarza & Dennis

Dear juagalarza,

How abt the messages in the queues? Whether we need to move it seperately?

Thanks
David
