Can an old version of the JNDI .bindings file be used on a new version of MQ?
Say V6.0.1 .bindings file vs V6.0.2.2 ...
Happened to notice a check sum difference when I ran same script in new Version of MQ ... which would make sense if QCF classes, etc. changed from Version to Version.
But if MQ clients using new Version of MQ say 6.0.2.2 from 6.0.1 but JMSAdmin was not rerun to recreate new .bindings file ... what are likely ramifications, if any. Nothing changed in definitions.

I ran the JMSAdmin command on a copy of the old(er) '.bindings' file under new Version of MQ and displayed all properties of JNDI objects used with display command(e.g):
display qcf(*)
display xaqcf(*)
display q(*)
And every object was accessed and displayed properly with new Version.
Is that to be expected in general or not ? _________________ "Truth is ... grasping the virtually unconditioned",

I believe that the object is placed into the context with it's class name.
So this would only be a reference and not a serialized class. You need the jars on the classpath. As long as the classname behind the objects does not change I believe you will be able to use the .bindings file for the newer version. But then that's just me. I expect to be corrected by some folks out of Hursley...  _________________ MQ & Broker admin |

Well it is currently working with the new version jars of V6.0.2.2 on the old v6.0.1 .bindings file ... but that may be just serendipidous/luck ... not sure if it would still work if using v7.1 say of MQ.
Would like to hear a definitive if/if not and why.
Thanks for your feedback _________________ "Truth is ... grasping the virtually unconditioned",
