Planning
IBM Documentation iconPlanning

When planning your IBM WebSphere MQ environment, consider the support that IBM WebSphere MQ provides for single and multiple queue manager architectures, and for point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging styles. Also plan your resource requirements, and your use of logging and backup facilities.

Migrating and upgrading
IBM Documentation icon Migrating and upgrading
To migrate a queue manager to run on a new level of code, you must first upgrade IBM WebSphere MQ to install the new code level. When you have verified the upgrade is successful, migrate the queue manager and all the applications and resources associated with it. Before starting this process, create a migration plan, based on the information in this migration guide. If you are applying maintenance, no migration is necessary. However you should test applications with the new level of IBM WebSphere MQ code
