Migrating a Version 2.1 Configuration Manager to Version 6.0 on the same computer

This topic describes one of three ways in which to migrate a Version 2.1 Configuration Manager to Version 6.0.

Before you start

To complete this task you must have either a Version 2.1 or a Version 6.0 broker available. Read about Coexistence with previous versions and other products.

If the lack of availability of a Configuration Manager during migration is an issue, or if you do not have additional hardware available, migrate the Configuration Manager to a different location on the same computer. Complete the following steps:
  1. Install WebSphere Message Broker Version 6.0 in a location other than where WebSphere MQ Integrator Broker Version 2.1 is installed.
  2. Stop the Version 2.1 Configuration Manager.
  3. Stop any channels to the Version 2.1 broker.
  4. Use the mqsimigratecomponents command to migrate your Version 2.1 components.
  5. Start the Version 6.0 Configuration Manager.

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 the Version 6.0 Message Brokers Toolkit. To resolve this, configure access control lists (ACLs) for users who are running the Version 6.0 Message Brokers Toolkit. Follow the instructions in Considering security for the workbench.

After you have migrated the Configuration Manager, go to Migrating the broker.
