Migrate a broker to use the enhanced facilities available in a Version 6.1 broker domain.
If you stop the broker, you can migrate it immediately to the new version on the same computer. If you prefer not to stop the broker to avoid problems for your business applications, or if you want to reproduce the broker capability on another computer, you can move the Version 5.0 broker's application logic onto a separate Version 6.1 broker.
If you are using the Version 5.1 Message Broker Toolkit, replace all references to "Version 5.0" with "Version 5.1".
Select the topic that is appropriate to your environment.
Before you start
Before migrating a broker, ensure that you do not have any aggregations in progress. When you migrate a broker to WebSphere® Message Broker Version 6.1, any live data that is 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.
