Migrating WebSphere MQ Services

 

WebSphere MQ services define one or more commands to be run when a queue manager is started or stopped. Examples of a service include:

When migrating from a previous version of WebSphere MQ, the WebSphere MQ services are automatically migrated into WebSphere MQ Objects. (For more information about WebSphere MQ Objects see the WebSphere MQ System Administration Guide.) These objects can then be administered in the WebSphere MQ Explorer.

Examples of the migration of services to WebSphere MQ Objects are:

It is important to note that after migration all services will run after the queue manager with which they are associated starts. This is the case even if the service previously ran before the associated queue manager started.

Only services that are associated with queue managers will be migrated. ROOT custom services, which are services that are not associated with a particular queue manager, are not migrated and they will remain as they were.
