Installing the WebSphere message migration utility

This topic describes the installation of the WebSphere® message migration utility. It also describes the steps that are necessary before the installation.

Before you begin

Before you install the WebSphere message migration utility ensure that you have backed up your embedded messaging queues on WebSphere Application Server Version 5. For details of backing up queues refer to the WebSphere MQ System Administration Guide. This guide applies to backing up WebSphere MQ queues but can be used to back up your embedded messaging queues.
Note: If you back up a WebSphere Application Server Version 5 queue before migration and then reinstate the whole queue and start migrating the same queue again, you will get two copies of the messages in WebSphere Application Server Version 6.
