The WebSphere / IBM MQ Self-help Migration Guide is
designed to help users choose, plan, and simplify the process of
migrating from an older version of MQ to a new version. If you are
running z/OS, see our related blog entry WebSphere / IBM MQ for z/OS Migration Guide.

This guide is broken down into the following parts:
Planning your Migration
This section contains guidelines and references to help you
Check Pre-reqs for your planned target version to ensure compatibility.
As shown in Figure 1, this section allows you to check pre-requisites
that are specific to MQ as well as other related IBM products for your
target version. This step is critical to ensure overall compatibility
and support.
Figure 1
Determine your migration path
As shown in Figure 2, to determine your migration (or
upgrade) path you may need to check the product documentation of your
current release and review new features offered in the later releases to
which you may be migrating. This will help you find specific features
available in these releases and give you a better idea of which release
you should migrate to. There is also a link to the planning guide for
the target release that provides information on what is involved in the
migration to that release, so that you can plan the order and extent of
the migration of components and other resources. The potential impact
covers any specific major effect or change that is associated with any
of the releases, so as a user you are aware of the potential impact that
the migration may have.

Preparing for your migration
As shown in Figure 3, this section details the migration
options and considerations for each of the options. It also contains an
explanation of the differences between the migration methods as they
relate to MQ.
