Restoring the broker

Restore a broker configuration that you backed up previously.

Before you start: Back up the broker.

You can restore a broker on a computer that has an identical configuration by using the backup file that you created. The operating system must be at the same level, and the broker and queue manager names must be identical.
  1. If you have deleted the broker and it no longer exists, or if you are restoring it on a different computer, create it by using the mqsicreatebroker command. Use the same name and parameters that you used for the broker that you backed up, including the name of the queue manager.
  2. If the broker is running, stop it by using the mqsistop command. If you intend to restore common configuration information from other brokers that you have configured on this computer, you must also stop all the brokers that share this common information. For example, you can restore profile information from common files.
  3. Restore the broker. Specify the broker name and the name and location of the backup file. If you want to restore common configuration information, or if you want a trace of the actions taken, specify the appropriate parameters for your platform.
