Hi All,
At present we have the following working set up.
WMQI V2.1 config manager on Win2K with MQ 5.2.1 .
The Broker V2.1 running on OS/390 on MQ 5.2.0
We are planning to upgrade the MQ on the Win2K box to be 5.3, but the MQ on OS/390 will continue to be 5.2.0.
Will upgrading MQ from 5.2.1 to MQ 5.3 cause any problem to the Config manager ? The pre requisite for Config Mgr is MQ 5.2 and I guess it has to be compatible with newer releases of MQ.
But is it possible to get a confirmed information about this compatibility?
Thanks for your time... |

There is no compatibility problem with MQ v5.3 and WMQI, but MQ upgrading is slightly risky  . We are upgraded a lot of qmgrs and some problems occured.
I recommend you a qmgr export (saveqmgr + amqoamd), so when you need to reinstall MQ, you can re-create your qmgr.
ConfigMgr is connecting to qmgr by name so this is the simplest way.

Can I use amqoamd to backup security setup ? Why can't I find it in manual? I see this command in bin directory but am not sure how to use it. Can you let me know where I can find more information about this control command? Do you always use this to backup MQ security?
Thanks in advance.

Yanghui,
This command is documented in last Admin Guide (for v5.3), however it is exists since v5.2. I recommend you it using in this form to create an authorization script:
Early versions didn't content the switch "-s" so there is a supportpac on MQ website for conversion. When I start it on our last v5.2.1:
| Code: |
~ $ amqoamd -h
Usage: amqoamd [-m QMgrName ] [-t ObjType] [-n ObjName] [-fs]
-f old authorization file format
-s output setmqaut commands
|
and a version info
| Code: |
~ $ mqver
MQSeries Version: 521
CMVC level: p521-CSD04H
BuildType: IKAP - (Production)
|
(Note: this is not a Unix, just a WinNT with CygWin.)

Hi, Tibor,
It seems I am a bit lost again.
The command amqoamd in both my mq5.2.1 NT and Unix environement doesn't have -h and -s options. They must be the new existing in version 5.3. From your mqver, it's v5.2.1 on NT. Have you applied any mq CSD? Why is my amqoamd different from yours?
Just download the latest mq manual. I think it's for v5.3.1 and published on the Oct. 2002. Unfortunately, I still can't find any word about this command anywhere. Something I am missing here? Do you mind to give me more hint?
Thanks a lot in advance
Regards
