mqsibackupconfigmgr command

Supported platforms

Purpose

This command backs up the Configuration Manager repository online and uses the Configuration Manager Proxy to communicate with the Configuration Manager.

Usage notes

  • Before you run this command you must stop the Configuration Manager.
  • If you plan to restore the Configuration Manager data repository on z/OS and the platform from which it was originally backed up was not z/OS, or the other way round, you must take a copy of the file:
    <Configuration Manager directory>/components/<component name>/<directory name>/service.properties
    You must keep this file with the .zip file that is produced by the mqsibackupconfigmgr command. After you have run the mqsirestoreconfigmgr command, copy the file to the equivalent place in the restored Configuration Manager data repository.
  • If you specified the -w (work path location) option on the mqsicreateconfigmgr command when you created the Configuration Manager, you must specify the -w (work path location) option on the mqsibackupconfigmgr command.

    If, however, you did not specify the -w option on the mqsicreateconfigmgr command, the Configuration Manager uses the default work path location; in which case, the -w option on the mqsibackupconfigmgr command is optional.

Syntax

Parameters

ConfigMgrName
(Required) The name of the Configuration Manager.
-d DirectoryPathName
(Required) The directory where the back up is placed. An error occurs if the directory does not exist.
-a ArchiveName
(Optional) Specifies the backup archive name; if you do not specify a name, the name takes the form: <configMgrName>_<date>_<time>.zip.
-w WorkPath
(See the Usage notes section above for information about when this option is required.) Specifies the path for the Configuration Manager repository. If the wrong work path location is specified, the following error message is returned:
BIP1077S when taking a backup on configmgr using the command - mqsibackupconfigmgr

The user ID used to invoke this command must be a member of the Windows Administrators group on this local system.
