Hi,

I am preparing to apply our first fix pack to MQ 7.1. I have read numerous pages from the infocenter but still have a few questions and would appreciate it if someone could add some technical detail. My questions pertain to the web page:
Migrating queue managers to new-function fix packs (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.mq.doc%2Fmi77177_.htm)

Question 1:
In particular, how does applying a fix pack to a queue manager, but not migrating the queue manager to the associated higher command level, affect it? For this scenario, what aspects of the fix pack are used by the queue manager, and what aspects of a higher command level are not used?

Question 2:
In the MQ 7.1 infocenter, under Migrating queue managers to new-function fix packs,
subheading Migrating Queue Managers, there is a statement “The queue manager stops immediately the migration process is complete.” What does this actually mean? I know that the strmqm command in MQ 7.1 now has a new cmdlevel optional parameter but the detail explaining it is minimal.

Excerpts from the MQ 7.1 infocenter for the above article:

Figure 2. Initial state,
QM1 and QM2 at command level 710, and fix level 7.1.0.0

Figure 3.
QM1 and QM2 at command level 710, and fix level 7.1.0.1

Both queue managers are now running using Inst_1 at the 7.1.0.1 maintenance level, and the 710 command level.

Figure 4. (Maintenance fix pack MQ 7.1.0.2 applied to Install_1)
QM1 at command level 710 and fix level 7.1.0.2;
QM2 at command level 711 and fix level 7.1.0.2

QM2 is now running using Inst_1 at the 7.1.0.2 maintenance level, and the 711 command level

Figure 5.
QM1 at command level 710 and fix level 7.1.0.3;
QM2 at command level 712 and fix level 7.1.0.3

QM1 is using Inst_1 at the 7.1.0.3 maintenance level, and is running at the 710 command level.
QM2 is using Inst_1 at the 7.1.0.3 maintenance level, and has been migrated to the 712 command level



-Thanks
