About this task

Transfer the queue manager data, and journal receivers, onto the server that has been upgraded.

RSTLIB SAVLIB( queue-manager-library ) DEV(*SAVF) (*PRINT)
SAVF(QGPL/ queue-manager-library )
    where the queue-manager-library name consists of the name of the queue manager preceded by QM.
  2. Restore the IBM MQ IFS data, using the command: 
    
RST DEV('/QSYS.LIB/QGPL.LIB/QMUSERDATA.FILE') OBJ('/QIBM/UserData/mqm') (*PRINT)
  3. To associate the journal receivers, issue the command WRKJRN on the journal AMQAJRN in each queue manager library, by pressing PF4 and selecting option 9.
