Can I rename a Q-mgr?

Or do I have to create an alias? Will the old attributes be accessible?

If I create a Qmgr, how will I import the attributes of the old-Qmgr, if needed?

Thanks in advance!

-Scott

There is a support pac that let's you save your MQ object definitions to a file. Please take a look at http://www-4.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/txppacs/ms03.html
You can use this, then delete/define your queue manager and use the output file of the support pac to create all your objects.
You can define queue manager aliases on other queue managers to maintain connectivity with the new (renamed) queue manager, but personally, I would clean up by altering the current definitions. Hopefully, you don't have queue manager/queue names hardcoded in applications...

But keep in mind that if you back up the queue manager definitions, blow it away, and create a new one, sometimes those pesky cluster definitions will still remain on other queue managers in the cluster as "ghost" objects. This of course isn't a problem when you aren't using clustering, but hey, the question was asked in the Clustering forum, so I'll assume that's what your configuration is. This isn't always a problem, but I'd follow Stefan's approach, and try to alter the definitions within the queue manager, rather than blowing the whole thing away. Of course, you can't rename the queue manager, so yes, the approach is to create an alias for it...

Hi all,

Thanks for the input!

I just changed the text(in an editor) after using SaveQmgr(MS03?) to generate the Qmgr object def's/attributes. Works like a charm.
