Migrating the Version 7.0 WebSphere Message Broker component

Migrate your Version 7.0 components and resources to IBM® Integration Bus Version 9.0.

Before you start:

Read Preparing for migration.

You can migrate to IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0 from the following products:
  • WebSphere® Message Broker Version 7.0
  • WebSphere Message Broker with Rules and Formatter Extension Version 7.0

For full product version and release levels, see Supported migration paths.

For the latest details of all supported levels of hardware and software, visit the IBM Integration Bus Requirements website.

The instructions in this section apply to all operating systems that are supported by Version 7.0.

Complete the following migration tasks in the order that is shown to reduce the possibility of problems.

  1. Back up your components and resources to ensure that you can return to your previous version if necessary. For more information and instructions, see the information center for your current product.
    Consider backing up the following resources:
    • Critical databases that are accessed by your message flows.
    • All your development resources; for example, message flows and message sets.

      If you use a repository to manage these resources, check that the product you use provides sufficient features for you to recover your resources at a specific version.

  2. Migrate your WebSphere MQ installation to a supported version.
  3. Migrate the IBM Integration Toolkit resource by following the instructions in Migrating development resources to IBM Integration Toolkit Version 9.0.

    If the users of your toolkit operate in a team environment and share resources with each other, upgrade all users to IBM Integration Toolkit Version 9.0 at the same time to ensure continued access to all resources. Because toolkit resources are stored in a different format when they are first saved in Version 9.0, your users might experience compatibility problems in some circumstances if some of their colleagues are using Version 9.0 and they are still working with a previous version.

  4. Migrate the broker by following the instructions in Performing in-place broker migration for a Version 7.0 broker.
  5. Optional: If you are migrating from a secure domain, you cannot directly migrate security settings for brokers. You must set up equivalent security by using the facilities that are provided by IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0. To set up administration security for a broker, complete the following tasks.
    1. Activate broker administration security
    2. Set up your security based on existing ACLs
  6. Optional: If you are migrating a broker that is configured to use Microsoft Cluster Services, follow the instructions in Migrating a WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0 broker that is configured on Microsoft Cluster Services (MSCS).
  7. Optional: If you are migrating a multi-instance broker, follow the instructions in Migrating a multi-instance broker from WebSphere Message Broker Version 7.0.
  8. Start the broker by using the mqsistart command.
  9. Review the changes of behavior that are introduced in IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0; for more details, see Reviewing technical changes in IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0.
When you have completed migration, consider the list of tasks in Perform post-migration tasks, and follow the guidance that is provided if these tasks apply to your environment.
