Upgrading to WebSphere MQ for Linux Version 7.0

Upgrading to WebSphere MQ for Linux Version 7.0
================================================

This section provides information about considerations for upgrading WebSphere® MQ for Linux®.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of WebSphere MQ for Linux, you must uninstall your current version before installing WebSphere MQ Version 7.0.

Because you cannot therefore revert to your previous level, back up your system before you install WebSphere MQ Version 7.0. This enables you to back out the upgrade if necessary. If you back out the upgrade, however, you cannot recover any work, such as changes to messages and objects, that WebSphere MQ Version 7.0 has done.
Start of change
WebSphere MQ for Linux Version 7.0 - zSeries platform 32-bit and 64-bit

You cannot upgrade from WebSphere MQ for Linux V6.0 (zSeries® platform) (32-bit) to WebSphere MQ for Linux zSeries s390x V7.0 (64-bit).
End of change
Start of change
WebSphere MQ for Linux, (x86 and x86-64 platforms) and 32-bit and 64-bit queue managers

You can install WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 platform) on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Linux operating system. If you currently have 32-bit WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 platform) Version 5.3 or Version 6.0 installed on a 64-bit version of the Linux operating system, you can install WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 platform) or WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86-64) when you upgrade to WebSphere MQ for Linux, Version 7.0.

If you install the 64-bit version of WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86-64 platform), existing queue managers are migrated to 64-bit when they are started. When a queue manager is 64-bit, you cannot start it by using a 32-bit version of WebSphere MQ.

Upgrading from WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 platform), Version 7.0 to WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86-64 platform) Version 7.0 is not supported.

Upgrading from WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86-64 platform) to WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 platform) is not supported for any version.
The supported upgrade paths for previous versions of WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 and x86-64 platforms) to WebSphere MQ for Linux Version 7.0 are as follows:
From: To:
WebSphere MQ for Linux, Version 5.3 (x86 platform) WebSphere MQ for Linux, Version 7.0 (x86 platform)

WebSphere MQ for Linux, Version 7.0 (x86-64 platform)
WebSphere MQ for Linux, Version 6.0 (x86 platform) WebSphere MQ for Linux, Version 7.0 (x86 platform)

WebSphere MQ for Linux, Version 7.0 (x86-64 platform)
WebSphere MQ for Linux, Version 6.0 (x86-64 platform) WebSphere MQ for Linux, Version 7.0 (x86-64 platform)
End of change

See the following topics for information about how to migrate to WebSphere MQ for Linux Version 7.0.

* Upgrading to WebSphere MQ Version 7.0
Complete this task to migrate to WebSphere MQ Version 7.0, while retaining your WebSphere MQ data, and optionally upgrade your operating system to one supported by WebSphere MQ Version 7.0.
* Upgrading to WebSphere MQ Version 7.0 using RPM upgrade tools
The use of RPM upgrade tools, using the -U or -F flags, to upgrade is not supported.
* After you have upgraded to WebSphere MQ Version 7
You must perform certain tasks immediately after upgrading to V7.

Troubleshooting Java/JMS SSL Configurations - Middleware News

 This document is intended to help diagnose WebSphere MQ V7 Java™ or JMS SSL setup errors. It lists most of the common configuration errors that can cause an SSL connection from a Java/JMS client to a queue manager to fail, and gives the course of action to resolve the problem. In each case the error can be diagnosed by a combination of the error seen in the client log - either a console output, trace file or SystemOut.log file - and the queue manager's error logs. The document is quite long, so the easiest way to find the potential error is to search for one of the errors seen in this list, then filter this list using the error from the opposite end of the channel. All cases here assume that 2-way authentication is being attempted (SSLCAUTH set to REQUIRED on the queue manager's SVRCONN channel). This is the default, and the errors are very similar for 1-way authentication (SSLCAUTH set to OPTIONAL). Symptom Instructions on collecting documentation...

IBM Websphere MQ interview Questions Part 5

MQ Series: - It is an IBM web sphere product which is evolved in 1990’s. MQ series does transportation from one point to other.

It is platform Independent. For every OS we have different MQ series software’s. But the functionality of MQ series Default path for installing MQ series is:- C: programfiles\BM\clipse\SDK30 C: programfiles\IBM\WebsphereMQ After installation it will create a group and user. Some middleware technologies are Tibco, SAP XI. MQ series deals with two things, they are OBJECTS, SERVICES. In OBJECTS we have • QUEUES • CHANNELS • PROCESS • AUTHENTICATION • QUERY MANAGER. In SERVICES we have LISTENERS. Objects: – objects are used to handle the transactions with the help of services. QUEUE MANAGER maintains all the objects and services. QUEUE: – it is a database structure ...

Using telnet to test connectivity between IBM Websphere MQ Client and MQ server - Middleware News

You are having trouble connecting a WebSphere MQ client to a MQ server, receiving errors that you can not connect to the MQ queue manager. One of the first things to determine is if the two machines can communicate, and using the telnet tool is one way to accomplish it. Symptom Receiving errors which state that a queue manager is not found or not available. Connection errors. For example: AMQ9213, AMQ9524, AMQ9202 or AMQ9508 or MQRC =2059 0x0000080b MQRC_Q_MGR_NOT_AVAILABLE. Please note, this is by no means an exclusive list of errors related to this type a problem but just a sample of some of the more common error messages and codes that might occur. Cause One possible cause is that the two machines can not communicate. May be the IP address or hostname was not properly specified by the MQ client. The port number might be incorrect. A queue manager is not running at the desired host. The queue manager could be running, but the corresponding listener is not runnin...
