Does the hardware/OS actually support the installation of V8.0?

And yes, saveqmgr will back up a V5.3 queue manager.

You cannot migrate directly from 5.3 to 8.0. See here:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFKSJ_8.0.0/com.ibm.mq.mig.doc/q117690_.htm

It would be surprising if a server stood up when MQ 5.3 was supported is running on hardware and an O/S that MQ 8 is supported on. Make sure you check the System Requirements for MQ 8.0 before you start this.

Thanks all!
because i will change the hardware as well (move MQ to a new server)
no worry about the hardware support.


Q1. Can i just installed MQ 8.0 directly and rebuild all queue ?
Q2. i tried to execute saveqmgr which download from :
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24000673

it shows " /usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: Unable to find library 'libmqm.sl'."

what should i do?

Q1. Yes;
Q2. Did you ensure you used/compiled the correct executable for your platform?

It would be helpful to know which platform/OS your current installation is on.

You should consider carefully which SYSTEM.* queues you recreate. It's likely that you don't want to recreate any of them.

Also remember that you will only be recreating the MQ Objects, and not any messages.

Yes, this is the recommended method.

Looks like an error on HP-UX. Discuss with your UNIX sys admin. The Dynamic Loader library (dld.sl) can't locate the MQ Server MQI library (libmqm.sl) on your system. You may need to set library path environment variables.

You could be using a 64 bit version of saveqmgr, which may not work with an old 32 bit version of MQ (5.3).

It should work as a client, as long as there is a 64-bit MQ client installed on the machine.

It may be easiest to use saveqmgrc from a desktop using a client rather than using bindings on the same machine as the queue manager.
