migrateWMQMLP command

Use the migrateWMQMLP command to migrate a WebSphere MQ message listener port definition to an activation specification definition.

To run the command, use AdminTask of the wsadmin scripting client.

The wsadmin scripting client is run from Qshell. For more information, see the topic "Configure Qshell to run WAS scripts".

This command is valid only when it is used with WAS v7 and later application servers. Do not use it with earlier versions.

For a list of the available WebSphere MQ messaging provider administrative commands, plus a brief description of each command, enter the following command at the wsadmin prompt:

print AdminTask.help('WMQAdminCommands')

For overview help on a given command, enter the following command at the wsadmin prompt:

print AdminTask.help('command_name')

After using the command, save your changes to the master configuration. For example, use the following command:

AdminConfig.save()

Purpose

Use the migrateWMQMLP command to migrate a WebSphere MQ message listener port definition to an activation specification definition. After the activation specification has been created, we can delete the listener port.

Note the Maximum retries listener port setting is not migrated to the new activation specification as there is no exact equivalent.

When you are migrating a listener port associated with a message-driven bean (MDB) that has the subscriptionDurability activation configuration property set to Durable, and that MDB already has an active durable subscription, the durable subscription is not migrated. This is because listener ports and WebSphere MQ activation specifications use incompatible forms of subscription name. As a result there can be two active durable subscriptions subscribed to the relevant topic for the same MDB. As part of the migration process, you must delete the old durable subscription that was associated with the listener port and manually clean up any messages associated with it. For information on how do to this see the WebSphere MQ and IBM Integration BusWebSphere Message Broker documentation.

Target object

The message listener port to be migrated.

Required parameters

-asName

The name of the activation specification to be created.

-asJNDIName

The JNDI name of the activation specification to be created.

-asScope

The type of scope at which to create the activation specification (server, node, cluster or cell). Note the cluster option is only supported when the server containing the message listener port is part of a cluster. If not specified this defaults to server. The scopes specified are relative to the message listener port, so node is the node of the server containing the message listener port.

Optional parameters

None.

The following example shows how to migrate a message listener port to an activation specification.
