IC88579: WMB 8.0.0.1 DOES NOT HANDLE WMQ 7.0.1 TO 7.1/7.5 MIGRATION

WebSphere Message Broker V8.0 - Fix Pack 8.0.0.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a broker's queue manager is migrated from WMQ 7.0.1 to
  either WMQ 7.1 or 7.5, the WMQ system service on Windows can
  change names. The new service name contains the WMQ installation
  name. The broker's system service on Windows is set up to depend
  on the WMQ system service at broker creation. If the service
  name changes as a result of queue manager migration, the
  broker's
  system service will depend on an invalid system service and it
  will be unable to start. A BIP8028E message will be presented to
  the user when mqsistart is run.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of WebSphere Message Broker 8.0.0.1 on Windows,
  migrating to WebSphere MQ 7.1 or WebSphere MQ 7.5.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Windows on x86 platform, Windows on x86-64 platform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  When the broker's queue manager is migrated from WebSphere MQ
  7.0.1 to WebSphere MQ 7.1 or WebSphere MQ 7.5, it is possible
  that the name of the WebSphere MQ system service will change.
  The broker's system service will continue to depend on the old
  name of the WebSphere MQ system service. Since the old name no
  longer exists, the dependency is broken and the broker's
  system service is unable to start. A BIP8028E message will be
  presented to the user when mqsistart is run.
  

Problem conclusion

• WebSphere Message Broker has been modified to automatically
  detect and update the dependencies for the broker's system
  service.
