Migrating from the Early Access Program or Early Design Program

If you have previously installed the Early Access Program or Early Design Program for WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition you must uninstall this version of the product before installing the general availability (GA) version of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition. You must also remove any configuration associated with the Early Access Program installation.

About this task

Complete the following steps to uninstall the Early Access Program installation:

Procedure

  1. For each agent in your WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition topology:
    1. Stop the agent using the fteStopAgent command.
    2. Delete all transfers from the agent using the fteCleanAgent command.
    3. Delete the agent using the fteDeleteAgent command.
  2. For each agent queue manager in your WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition topology:
    1. Ensure that all agent queues have been deleted from your agent queue manager. Each agent has the following queues:

      SYSTEM.FTE.COMMAND.agent_name

      SYSTEM.FTE.DATA.agent_name

      SYSTEM.FTE.EVENT.agent_name

      SYSTEM.FTE.REPLYagent_name

      SYSTEM.FTE.STATE.agent_name

      SYSTEM.FTE.AUTHADM1.agent_name

      SYSTEM.FTE.AUTHAGT1.agent_name

      SYSTEM.FTE.AUTHMON1.agent_name

      SYSTEM.FTE.AUTHOPS1.agent_name

      SYSTEM.FTE.AUTHSCH1.agent_name

      SYSTEM.FTE.AUTHTRN1.agent_name

      If you had created any web agents, you must also delete the following queues:

      SYSTEM.FTE.WEB.gateway_name

      SYSTEM.FTE.WEB.RESP.agent_name

  3. For each Web Gateway in your WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition topology:
    1. Stop the Web Gateway application in your application server.
    2. Drop any tables from your database that are used by the Web Gateway. For a list of tables used by the Web Gateway, see the topic Database tables used by the Web Gateway.
    3. Delete all file spaces associated with the Web Gateway.
  4. For each stand-alone database logger in your WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition topology:
    1. Stop the database logger using the fteStopDatabaseLogger command.
    2. Drop all the tables in the database that are used by the database logger. For a list of tables used by the database logger, see the topic Database logger tables.
  5. For each Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (JEE) database logger in your WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition topology:
    1. Stop the database logger application in your application server.
    2. Drop all the tables in the database that are used by the database logger. For a list of tables used by the database logger, see the topic Database logger tables.
  6. For each coordination queue manager in your WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition topology:
    1. Remove the SYSTEM.FTE name from the SYSTEM.QPUBSUB.QUEUE.NAMELIST namelist on your coordination queue manager.
    2. Delete the SYSTEM.FTE queue from your coordination queue manager.
    3. Delete the SYSTEM.FTE topic from your coordination queue manager.
  7. For each system that has a WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition component installed:
    1. Uninstall the Early Access Program or Early Design Program installation. For instructions about how to uninstall WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition, see Uninstalling IBM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition.
    2. Optional: If you are uninstalling WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition from a Windows system, restart your system. If you do not restart your system after uninstalling an Early Access Program or Early Design Program installation and before installing the GA version, there might still be files marked for deletion. This file deletion still occurs, even if you have installed a new version. This behavior might cause your new installation to stop working after a future restart.
    3. Delete the WMQFTE directory if the directory still exists.
  8. You can now install the GA version of WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition.
