Changing to full function WebSphere MQ
If you are migrating from the reduced function form of WebSphere MQ V5.3.1 supplied with WebSphere Application Server, you should read all of WebSphere MQ for z/OS Concepts and Planning Guide and this book to find out about the extra functions that are available. We can continue to use your existing queue managers, including their page sets, log data sets, and object definitions. We can continue to use your existing queues, including system queues such as SYSTEM.CHANNEL.SYNCQ. You should not cold start your queue managers. If you do, you will lose all your messages and other information. However, there are some tasks that you might need to perform, depending on which of the now available features you want to use. Review all the customization tasks in Customizing your queue managers, but especially
- Task 13: Customize the initialization input data sets
- Task 17: Tailor your system parameter module
- Task 18: Tailor the channel initiator parameters.

If you are going to use queue-sharing groups, see Set up a new queue-sharing group. If you used client channels in the reduced function WebSphere MQ, install the Client Attachment feature to allow them to continue to be used.
