Hi All
I have a MQ server with a queue manager having 100's of queues and a few channels. I am creating an exact replica of the system on another MQ server (machine) which can work as a development / backup system seperate from production system.
I would like to know:
Is there a way where I can generate a creation script on exisiting MQ server and run that script on new server so as to create all the objects (queues and channels) automatically. OR any other way...?
I somehow wish that this feature was there in MQ Server as I have been doing similar kind of stuff in MS SQL sever where I dont have to manually create tables if I want to create a replica of the database server.
Thanks for any help.
best regards
Nitesh

have a look at the saveqmgr supportpac ms03.

remember this dublicates only the object definitions, so if you use the doublicated queuemanager your channels with your partners will be out of sync.

One final note, if you have setup security definitions, those need to be saved with "amqoamd -s" .... and don't forget your qm.ini file.

However, using -R option will clear that up for you...

If you're still around (as I hope you are) note a few very important things:
  • You should use a different qm name, which means you have to change all channel names; This should be easy enough, just replace strings in the file saveqmgr created for you, but it's vital that you do so - otherwise you'll have all sorts of collisions. (this applies if you use it for dev purposes)
  • You said you want it for backup - this is not a good way to do it, see Force RCVR to accept sequence number?
  • Bottom line, you will have great troubles having it both ways - you have to decide, development or backup (if you insist on this icky backup design); backup dictates the exact same name and object names, but also means that if you start it channels will collide with that of the prod qm, so you cannot have both up at the same time - which rules out using it as dev...
Your question is a common one, and you could have easily found the answer yourself by using the search button - please do so this next time
