White Papers


Abstract

This techdoc provides all the necessary steps to upgrade IBM WebSphere MQ 7.0.x in Windows to MQ 7.5 or 8.0.

Content

The steps describe a standard upgrade path. They do not use the 'multi-version' feature introduced with MQ 7.1, in which several versions of MQ can co-exist ("side-by-side").
If you want to use 'multi-version' instead, then refer to techdoc 7036780: Installing WebSphere MQ 7.5 to coexist with MQ 7.0.1 and MQ 7.1 in Windows

You can upgrade from MQ 7.0 to MQ 7.5, without first going through MQ 7.1.
You can upgrade from MQ 7.0 to MQ 8.0, without first going through MQ 7.1 or MQ 7.5.

Chapter 3: Running setmqinst to designate the Primary installation
Chapter 4: Running setmqenv to use MQ 8.0 commands
