Migrating a message set

Migrate a message set from Version 2.1 to Version 6.0 using the mqsimigratemsgsets command.

Before you start:

Before you perform this task, read the mqsimigratemsgsets command and the associated help.

This task applies only to migrating a message set from WebSphere MQ Integrator Version 2.1 or WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker Version 2.1 to WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0.

You can use message sets in WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0 that were created using WebSphere MQ Integrator Version 2.1 or WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker Version 2.1.

If you modify the *.mrp file by hand between exporting it from WebSphere MQ Integrator Version 2.1 or WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker Version 2.1, and importing it into WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0, the results are not guaranteed and errors might occur.

To migrate one or more message sets:

  1. Export the message set or sets from WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker Version 2.1. For more detailed information about this task refer to the WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker Version 2.1 documentation.
  2. Transfer the exported *.mrp file or files to the system on which you are running the WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0 workbench. Check that the directory in which you store these files contains only the files that you want to import.
  3. Close the workbench, which must not be running when you invoke the mqsimigratemsgsets command.
  4. From a command line, invoke the mqsimigratemsgsets command, specifying the parameters that you require.
  5. Check the report file mqsimigratemsgsets.report.txt that is written to the directory from which you invoked the command. The command provides the following information:
    • The parameters specified when the mqsimigratemsgsets command was invoked
    • The name of each message set file (*.mrp file) that has been migrated
    • Any warnings that have been generated
    • Details of the objects created
    • The time taken to process the message set
    • The number of warnings produced for the message set
    • The number of objects created for the message set
    • The number of exported files that were processed
  6. Start the workbench and switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  7. You can now examine and manipulate the newly created message set project or projects. The created projects are closed in the Broker Application Development perspective and must be opened (right-click the project, then click Open Project).
When you have migrated your resources, see the Version 2.1 post-migration tasks for information about tasks that you might want to perform after migration.
