Migrating a Java EE database logger

To migrate a Java EE database logger on WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 from WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Version 7.0 to IBM® WebSphere MQ Version 7.5 or later, complete the following steps:


Procedure

  1. Open the WebSphere Application Server console.
  2. Click Applications > Application Types > Enterprise Applications. Locate the IBM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition database logger application in the list of applications. If the database logger application is not already stopped, select the application and click Stop.
  3. Make a note of the configuration settings that you previously set up for the JEE database logger. You will need these later in step 7.
    1. If you originally made changes from the default settings for EJB modules while installing the database logger (see step 9 for more information), click Enterprise Applications > WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition database logger > Environment entries for EJB modules and make a note of the settings in the pane.
    2. Click Enterprise Applications > WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition database logger > Message Driven Bean listener bindings and make a note of the activation specification used, the Target Resource JNDI name and the Destination JNDI name.
    3. Click Enterprise Applications > WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition database logger > Resource references and make a note of the reject queue connection factory details.
    4. Click Enterprise Applications > WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition database logger > Resource environment entry references and make a note of the reject queue details.
  4. Uninstall the IBM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition database logger application by clicking Applications > Application Types > Enterprise Applications. Select the database logger application and click Uninstall.
  5. Optional: if you are using multiple installations to migrate to IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7.5, or later, and the native library path is different, change the path by clicking Resources > JMS providers > WebSphere MQ messaging provider

    For example, if the native library path was: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\java\lib, change the path to: C:\Program Files\IBM\New MQ Installation Location\java\lib

  6. Optional: if you are using multiple installations to migrate to IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7.5 or later, you must associate the queue manager with the new installation using the setmqm command.
  7. Reinstall the database logger application, using the information in Install the IBM MQ Managed File Transfer Java EE database logger with WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 and the information you recorded earlier in step 3.
  8. Start the new database logger by clicking Applications > Application Types > Enterprise Applications. Select the database logger application and click Start.
  9. To verify the migration, check the database to ensure that entries are being written.
