Migrating IBM WebSphere MQ Telemetry

Migrate IBM® WebSphere® MQ Telemetry from Version 7.0.1 to Version 7.5 by completing the tasks in this section. You must stop all IBM WebSphere MQ activity on the system before migrating.

In IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7.0.1, IBM WebSphere MQ Telemetry was a separate feature. Because IBM WebSphere MQ Telemetry is a component of IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7.5 and later, upgrading is essentially uninstalling IBM WebSphere MQ TelemetryVersion 7.0.1 and installing IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7.5. IBM WebSphere MQ Telemetry can either be installed with the main product, or installed after Version 7.5 or later is already installed.

After the successful upgrade, Linux® systems retain all telemetry data kept in /var/mqm, and the Windows systems retain the telemetry data in the IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7.5 installation directory, for example: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere MQ\. Telemetry data is migrated to Version 7.5 when the queue manager is started again.

Note:

You can administer IBM WebSphere MQ Telemetry Version 7.0.1 only from the Version 7.0.1 IBM WebSphere MQ Explorer. If you connect the Version 7.5 explorer remotely to a Version 7.0.1 queue manager, no telemetry resources are displayed. You cannot connect a Version 7.5 IBM WebSphere MQ Explorer locally to a Version 7.0.1 queue manager on the same server.

The migration tasks, depending on your platform, are described in the following subtopics:
