Use the mqsirestorebroker command to restore the broker configuration from a backup file.
The mqsirestorebroker command restores the broker configuration from a backup file that you have created by using the mqsibackupbroker command. You can restore a broker only on a computer that has an identical configuration; the operating system must be at the same level, and the broker and queue manager names must be identical.
The command restores the following persistent configuration data associated with the broker that is contained in the backup file:
Always stop the broker before you run this command. If you specify -c to restore common configuration data that is shared with other brokers, you must also stop all brokers with which this broker shares that data. If you run this command when a relevant broker is active, the results are unpredictable.
If the mqsibackupbroker command that created the backup file includes information about files that were locked when the backup was taken, and therefore cannot be backed up, the mqsirestorebroker command returns the names of the files affected.
The following example restores broker IB9NODE on Windows:
mqsirestorebroker IB9NODE -d C:\MQSI\BACKUP -a 20090101.zip
