MQSeries.net :: View topic - Odd behavior during Config Manager Migration

Here's a good one.

We recently moved our developement and production Config Managers to some new faster Windows 2000 machines.

Since this is about the third time I've moved the environemnt in 2 years things went pretty smoothly. (Amazing how much smoother things go when you do things in the right order! )

I also used this as an opportunity to upgrade to CSD05, which I did after recreating my brokers on my Solaris servers. (10 brokers on 4 servers)

The odd thing I noticed was that, apparently when I issued the mqsicreatebroker command, the dead-letter queue reverted back to the default SYSTEM.DEAD.LETTER on each of the brokers' queue manager. At this customer's site, we always use qmgrname.DEAD.LETTER as a standard naming convention. I verified against some old reports from mqhealth from the previous week, and they were in fact named per the convention.

Sure enough, I did a dis qmgr against each and they were each altered at about the same time as I remember recreating the brokers.

This was easy enough to fix and didn't really cause any real problems. I was just curious if anyone else has seen this behavior and/or has any idea why it does this.
