Considerations when migrating from Advanced Message Security 7.0.1

Advanced Message Security is a component of IBM® MQ.

Important:

If you are migrating to IBM MQ 9.4 or later from IBM WebSphere® MQ 7.5 or earlier, you must first migrate to an interim version. See Migration paths.

Review the following list of changes carefully before upgrading queue managers to a later version of IBM MQ. Decide whether you must plan to make changes to existing applications, scripts, and procedures before starting to migrate systems:
  • From IBM WebSphere MQ 7.5, AMS installation is a part of the IBM MQ installation process.
  • The AMS security capabilities are enabled with its installation and controlled with security policies. You do not need to enable interceptors to allow AMS to start intercepting data.
  • AMS in IBM MQ does not require the use of the cfgmqs command as in the stand-alone version of Advanced Message Security.
