Hi folks,

The environment:
AIX 6.1
MQ v7.0.1.3
WMB v7.0.0.1

We currently have a process for backing up a Broker that is based on the mqsibackupbroker command but this is for the Broker as a whole. We are interested in backing up at the Execution Group level to try to make backing out production changes a little easier. Currently, we require the application teams to maintain a proper collection of .bar files so that backing out a change is done by deploying an older version of their .bar file.

Is backing up an Execution Group be as simple as backing up the /var/mqsi/components/<broker>/<exegrp_uuid> directory and all its subdirectories? Or are there other things we must consider?

If backing up in this manner is correct, then backout/recovery of the Execution Group would involve making sure it is defined, making sure it is empty, and then copying the /var/mqsi/components/<broker>/<exegrp_uuid> backup to its normal location. Or are there other things we must consider here too?

Thanks.

Curt

The Broker instance maintains a registry. Simply copying files is not all that is needed.

Your current approach to maintain the source bar files to rebuild the proper config is the best approach in my opinion.

Hi,

You could consider also to built simple java -application with Configuration Manager Proxy API that documents when, what, which versions, in which eg and from where you broker resources have been deployed.
