How to install the WebSphere® Application Server message
migration utility, including the steps that are necessary before the
installation.
Before you begin
Before you install the message migration utility ensure that
you have backed up your embedded messaging queues on
WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1. 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 5.1 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 the version you
migrated to.
