Migrating the Message Broker Toolkit from Version 6.0 to Version 6.1

Follow the instructions to migrate the Message Broker Toolkit Version 6.0.

Although you cannot migrate the Message Broker Toolkit component from WebSphere® Message Broker Version 6.0 to Version 6.1, you can install Version 6.1 to coexist with Version 6.0, and migrate the workspace and the resources that it contains.

To migrate the Message Broker Toolkit workspace from Version 6.0 to Version 6.1, complete the following steps:

  1. Install WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.1 in a different location from WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0.
  2. When you start the Message Broker Toolkit Version 6.1 for the first time, you are prompted to enter a workspace location. Enter the directory that contains theMessage Broker ToolkitVersion 6.0 workspace that you want to migrate. The workspace and resources are now available in the Version 6.1 Message Broker Toolkit.

The resources in the workspace retain their Version 6.0 content until you edit or rebuild them. If you want to deploy resources to Version 6.0 brokers, you can do so without making any changes. You can also deploy these resources to Version 6.1 brokers.

If you open and save these resources, they are automatically updated to Version 6.1 format, and you can deploy them only to brokers that have been migrated to Version 6.1.

CHECK VALIDITY If you have configured MCA users on the WebSphere MQ channels to the Configuration Manager, you might encounter problems when you try to connect to the migrated Configuration Manager from Message Broker Toolkit Version 6.1. To resolve these problems, configure access control lists (ACLs) for users who are running the Message Broker Toolkit Version 6.1. Follow the instructions in Considering security for the workbench.

When you have migrated the Message Broker Toolkit, 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.
