Hello All -
I have a MQ server... i have 4 to 5 Q managers....Now i want to move this to a different server... Is there anyway i can export the current setting and Queues from server1 to server2....
Currently the only way i know is to recreate every Q and Q manager...
(I am using IBM MQ 6.0 on windows box)
Thanks in advance |

I think you will want to make sure you also record and set any QMGR properties that are set through MQ Explorer that would be equivalent to what you see in the qm.ini file in UNIX systems.
amqmdain can also display and alter these values.
I'm not sure they are covered in MS03, but they may well be (in which case I will hear about it shortly).
Do any of the QMGRs you want to "move" belong to a WMQ Cluster?
If so, there is more work to be done here... |

Only if they're exposed through PCF.

<sigh/>The properties that can only be given at QMGR creation are not exposed. The properties that only take affect at the next QMGR start are not exposed. Most, if not all, of the properties mentioned with amqmdain or in the qm.ini are of this type.
I've seen a number of times where someone has copied a QMGR to move it and missed these settings only to have the new QMGR fail under load. |

You also need to move MQ OAM security settings (use "amqoamd -m QMGRNAME -s" to generate setmqaut commands).
Other things to consider are:
file system sizings, automation & monitoring, utility packages
Do the messages on application queues need to be preserved?
MQ channels on other systems may need to be altered to point CONNAME to new system
