Add a new queue sharing group to an existing Db2 data sharing group in the latest version on z/OS
Follow these steps to add a new queue sharing group to an existing Db2® data sharing group in the latest version of the product. You must apply the migration and toleration PTFs to queue managers, in the previous version, in any of the queue sharing groups before adding a queue sharing group.
Queue sharing group migration
We can combine queue managers from different releases in a queue sharing group. Limit the time you manage a mixed group to only as long as it takes to migrate all the queue managers to the same command level. We cannot combine a queue manager at Version 9.0 or later in the same queue sharing group as queue managers earlier than Version 7.1. You must update all queue managers in a queue sharing group with a coexistence PTF, before migrating any of them.
