| Is it possible to export a Queue Manager along with its queue (and Other Objects like channels) and related settings to another MQ server with same configuration. |

check saveqmgr supportpac (ms03), this one is able to export the object definitions of one queuemanager so they can be importet into another.
if you want to copy queue contents there are several copy utilities, one is mqmon (mo71)
but there is no tool to export a "queuemanager" (all of it)

if not "imported" (i assume you use runmqsc with the saveqmgr created file) then you should see a proper message why not.
do the objects already exist? if so, replace is required.
do the objects already exist and are in use? if so, you must stop applications and channels first.

amqoamd will export you the OAM Settings.
When you applied the script to your 'new' queue manager, did it throw any error? |

ahhh.... no
cut-paste one of the qalias definitions into a seperate file and test again with that file. it should work. if not, then there is an error shown.
post it please if you still think it does not work. (the input file and the command).
how do you check that the new queues exist? mq explorer? if so, make sure you used a refresh on all queues and that you display all queues.

Hi Vineet,
I am facing a problem in similar line as of you. I have one QUEUE Manager and it's objects on one server. I have to copy the QUEUE Manager with QUEUEs and Channels etc. (messages not required) to the new server.
I have used saveqmgr utility to take back up of the Queue Manager to create a .mqsc file. i have copied this file to new server.
I was trying to restore this Queue Manager from the file using
runmqsc QUEUE_MANAGER_NAME > QUEUE_MGR_BKP_FILE_NAME from command prompt. This is a windows server.
How did you export and import your Queue Manager ? |

I think you mean
runmqsc QUEUE_MANAGER_NAME < QUEUE_MGR_BKP_FILE_NAME

You should use:
runmqsc QUEUE_MANAGER_NAME < QUEUE_MGR_BKP_FILE_NAME from command prompt
You need to start the listener manually.
If your backup contains any queue names same as default SYSTEM.* queues, then you need to delete the SYSTEM.* queues before providing the saveqmgr backup to the runmqsc .
Here are teh steps:
1. Create the QMgr.
2. Start the qmgr
3. runmqsc QMgr name < qmgr_backup file
If you see an error for creating a queue, plz check in in the backup file whether that queue has been defined as a different object than the object exist on the qmgr.
If it is defined as a different object, then deleete the default SYSTEM. object and re-issue the command:
runmqsc QMgr name < qmgr_backup file
Hope this helps. |

Hello Experts,
With help of you guys my QUEUE Manager had been completely copied to the new server. I was doing this excercise again for another Queue Manager.
Queue Manager restore command runmqsc is running successfully. However when i am trying to view the Queues from explorere i am getting following error.
Coded character-set ID error.
Can not convert a command message to the CCSID of the target queue manager (AMQ4052)
It would be big help if someone can help me in resolving this error. |

Hello Sam uppu,
Thanks for your advice. i am in fact seeing the objects SYSTEM.* are not appearing on the new server where i restored from Queue Manager.
There was many channels and server connection objects with name as SYSTEM.*. Why i am not being able to restore these using runmqsc command ? Can i restore these some way ? |

the saveqmgr does an alter for the ccsid accourding to the settings of the "old" qmgr, you should verify if that matches your installation.
"my" saveqmgr dumps SYSTEM* objects too. Maybe they are there, but not displayed in MQ explorer (there is a button you can toggle the display of SYSTEM* objects)?
check that or check the input file if it contains SYSTEM* objects or use runmqsc to check instead of MQ explorer.

And, if you don't want SYSTEM objects in the back-up, run it with the -s switch...
