Backing out the FTE V7.0.4.1 function on a protocol bridge agent

If we have upgraded a protocol bridge agent from WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0.4 or earlier to the newer WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0.4, Fix Pack 1 function and want to back out the upgrade, you can return the agent to its original level of function. This means the agent returns to being able to transfer to a single endpoint only.


Before starting

Note: IBM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition (FTE) is no longer a supported product. To migrate from FTE to the Managed File Transfer component in IBM MQ, see Migrating Managed File Transfer.


To back out the WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0.4, Fix Pack 1 upgrade, complete the following steps:


Procedure

  1. Move the protocol bridge properties from the ProtocolBridgeProperties.xml file for the agent we want to migrate to the agent.properties file. The agent properties file is located at configuration_directory/coordination_queue_manager/agents/bridge_agent/agent.properties. The protocol bridge properties are described in Protocol bridge properties.
  2. Delete the ProtocolBridgeProperties.xml file from the configuration_directory/coordination_qmgr/agents/agent_name directory.

    The properties in the ProtocolBridgeProperties.xml file always take precedence over the properties in the agent.properties file, so deleting ProtocolBridgeProperties.xml ensures this file is not used if you keep the V7.0.4.1 function enabled.

  3. Update the ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml file so that it has the required <serverHost> elements for the protocol file servers. For more information about this file, see Protocol bridge credentials file format.
