Preparing for recovery on an alternative site

In the case of a total loss of a WebSphere MQ computing center, we can recover on another WebSphere MQ system at a recovery site. To do this, regularly back up the page sets and the logs. As with all data recovery operations, the objectives of disaster recovery are to lose as little data, workload processing (updates), and time as possible.

At the recovery site:

• The recovery WebSphere MQ queue manager must have the same name as the lost queue manager.

• The system parameter module used on the recovery queue manager should contain the same parameters as the lost queue manager.

The process for disaster recovery is described in the WebSphere MQ for z/OS System Administration Guide.
