Hi
No need to copy back the logs and qmgrs folders after migration.
While un-installing it the product wont remove these.
So you can do migration and issue
strmqm -c <QMGR_NAME>
inorder to make the file system set to MQ6 (Before starting any listeners and everything).
This will help you to bring the qmgrs smoothly.
Please note: install the Latest Refresh Pack 2.
Thanks and Regards

Hi
its better to take the backup of it qmgr and log directories,
if something goes wrong you can roll it back to its previous stage.
take the back up of qmgr objects using saveqmgr tool
Thanks and Regards

Hey
No, prepare a good check list and a good procedure before manipulating Websphere products. (you have to follow a good process )
1.) Take the backup of qmgrs using saveqmgr tool
2.) Stop all the Qmgrs and MQSeries services
3.) Take the backup of Log and QMgrs folder
4.) Uninstall MQ5.3 and all the support pacs (CSDs and gskit also)
5.) Install MQ6.... and Refresh Pack 2
6.) strmqm -c <QMGR_NAME>
The log and qmgrs directories will be there itself, it wont be get deleted if you un-install the MQ 5.3 product.
if you delete it then no other way, so do not delete it.
if you stop the qmgr then how you will take the back up of the objects.
Go through the document, before doing anything.
Thanks and Regards

You might as well want to run amqoamd -s to get the authorizations in setmqaut form. This will allow you to set the permissions the same on the newly created qmgr. If you set it up so that your queues are empty you can recreate the new environment from scratch using this output and saveqmgr.
Enjoy

Of course, saveqmgr will save authorizations, as well.

I was under the impression that was v6.0 only? Hence the use of amqoamd -s?

How do I get IBM.WMQ on my XP MAchine?
1) Can I register AMQMDNET.DLL on my machine, and keep WMQ Client 5.2
Software Installed?
2) Must I install WMQ Client 5.3 (if yes, where do I get install setup)?
3) 2) Must I install WMQ Client 6.0 (if yes, where do I get install setup)?
