Has anyone experienced any issues when upgrading WMQ 6 to WMQ 7 on AIX (or in general)?
In particular any MQ client incompatibility (assume the client remains on v6 libaries)?
Is there an IBM migration considerations document for this upgrade?
We will be running WMB 6.0 and WMB 6.1 as well, and I know abou the fixpack requirements for these to be compatible. |

Thanks, that's useful.
Is there not also a sort of blog of known issues? - I've seen something like that for WMB migration. |

We had a thread like that here for the 5.3 to 6.0 migration. I expect there to be more posts like that here once more people start migrating. Since MQ 6 is still supported for more than a year, I don't think the masses have started the move yet.
I am starting next month, now that 7.0.1.2 has been released.

We're skipping a generation and going from 5.3 to 7.0.1.n (please, no lectures about the back-level version - we've been trying to get them to move for the last two years!). There is a small amount of V6.0 estate, but that won't move on until it has to, so I too would like to register an 'interest' and ask - has anyone gone directly from 5.3 to 7.0 please?
zpat, my apologies for the slight hijack of your thread

Hi exerk
we had few Windows Qmgrs that were migrated from V5.3 to V7....and we had lot of issues getting Qmgr up after running the backup scripts.
In the end we ended up creating fresh queuemanger objects. |

When taking big steps like that there will fewer issues if you blow away the queue managers, do the upgrade, and then recreate them.

Our hands may be tied on that one (it was included within the original planning) but the customer requirements are such that we will now most likely 'fix on failure' - it's their train set...

Yes we did migrated from 5.3 to 7.0 with out any MQ issues(particularly with qmgr or channels), But we are currently experiencing memory leak See This. Opened ticket with IBM. Have to wait and see. |

Is there any online Infocenter for WMQ 7.0.1?
I want to look at the new features introduced in the refresh pack.
In particular how to use this
Enhanced Governance - Generates notification events whenever configuration changes |

As is usual, it's buried deep in the WMQ V7.0 Info Centre, in Monitoring WebSphere MQ, HERE.
