Before you start- Ensure that you are familiar with the steps that are involved in creating a broker on z/OS.
- The JCL uses the mqsimigratecomponents command
to migrate a broker on z/OS. This command
takes many parameters, which you must understand fully before attempting to
migrate the broker.
- Before migrating a broker, ensure that you do not have any aggregations
in progress. When you migrate a broker to Version 6.0,
any live data being stored for aggregations in progress will be lost.
- If the broker runs in a locale that is not listed in the Locales topic,
check that the code page is one of the supported
code pages and that the locale is set up correctly.
When you migrate a broker from Version 2.1 to Version 6.0, retained publications are lost on z/OS. This is also the case when you migrate
a Version 6.0 z/OS broker
back to Version 2.1.
