Migrating a Version 5.0 User Name Server to Version 6.0 on z/OS

Migrate a Version 5.0 User Name Server to Version 6.0.

To migrate a WebSphere® Event Broker Version 5.0 User Name Server to Version 6.0 on z/OS®:

  1. Stop the Version 5.0 User Name Server.
  2. Create a new User Name Server PDSE.
  3. Copy all User Name Server JCL from the Version 6.0 installed SBIPPROC and SBIPSAMP PDSEs to the new User Name Server PDSE and customize them all.

    You must take a backup copy of your Version 5.0 ENVFILE, which is stored in the directory referenced by the ++HOME++ JCL variable, before you submit BIPGEN from the Version 6.0 component data set. Subsequently, if you want to migrate back to Version 5.0, restore ENVFILE, either from the backup file location, or by submitting BIPGEN from the Version 5.0 component data set, before you start the Version 5.0 User Name Server.

    1. Customize the BIPEDIT file using values that are defined in the mqsicompcif file for the Version 5.0 User Name Server. Equivalent z/OS customization variables in mqsicompcif and BIPEDIT lists the customization variables that are used in the Version 5.0 mqsicompcif file, and the equivalent variables in the Version 6.0 BIPEDIT file.
    2. Copy any additional changes that you have made to the environment file, ENVFILE, to BIPUPROF in the component data set. Submit the BIPGEN job to create the environment file, ENVFILE.
    3. Customize and submit the BIPMGCMP job.
  4. Copy the started task JCL (BIPUNSP) to the procedures library. When you copy the started task, keep a second copy of the original in a safe place for backup purposes.
  5. The verification program runs when you start the Version 6.0 User Name Server.
When you have migrated the User Name Server, ensure that you have migrated the rest of the components:

When you have completed these tasks, see the post-migration tasks for information about tasks that you might want to perform after migration.
