mqsibackupconfigmgr command

Supported platforms

Purpose

This command backs up the Configuration Manager repository online and uses the Configuration Manager Proxy to communicate with the Configuration Manager in the same way that the existing utility mqsideploy does on Windows platforms.

Note: If you plan to restore the Configuration Manager data repository on z/OS and the platform from which it was originally backed up was not z/OS, or the other way round, you must take a copy of the file:
<Configuration
Manager directory>/components/<component name>/<directory name>/service.properties
This needs to be kept with the zip file produced by the mqsibackupconfigmgr command, and must be copied to the equivalent place in the restored Configuration Manager data repository after running the mqsirestoreconfigmgr command.

Syntax

Parameters

(Required) The name of the Configuration Manager.

-w workPath
(Optional) Specifies the path for the Configuration Manager repository.
