Recovering after the configuration repository fails

Try to get to the root of the problem first, using the diagnosis techniques described throughout the Troubleshooting and support section of the information center. If your problem cannot be resolved using these techniques, contact your IBM Support Center. Use the procedure in this section only as a last resort.

If the configuration repository fails and cannot be corrected using problem determination, or by the IBM Support Center, perform the following sequence of operations to re-create the configuration repository:

  1. Ensure that no workbench users are deploying to brokers. You must wait until any such actions have completed.
  2. Stop all brokers that are using the Configuration Manager using the mqsistop command.
  3. Stop the Configuration Manager using the mqsistop command.
  4. Re-create the configuration repository from a backup version using the mqsirestoreconfigmgr command on the same machine as the Configuration Manager.
    If you do not have a backup of your configuration repository, re-create the Configuration Manager at this stage. This re-creates the configuration repository. However, any of the data that you previously had in the repository will be lost. To re-create the Configuration Manager:
    1. Delete the Configuration Manager using the mqsideleteconfigmgr command, specifying the -n parameter.
    2. Re-create the Configuration Manager using the mqsicreateconfigmgr command. The mqsicreateconfigmgr command creates the configuration repository automatically.
  5. Start the Configuration Manager using the mqsistart command.
  6. Start your brokers using the mqsistart command.
