ProcedureTo Upgrade Message Queue

Before You Begin

Back up application data in a production environment before performing an upgrade. For Message Queue data locations, refer Table 5–2.

  1. Stop any running Java ES 4 Message Queue instances.

    If Message Queue is being used in an Application Server environment, shut down Application Server, as well.

  2. Stop any running brokers.

  3. Install the Java ES 5 Message Queue.

    For Java ES 5 Message Queue installation instructions, see the Sun Java Enterprise System 5 Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows.

  4. (Optional) Migrate the Release 4 Message Queue data, as listed in Table 5–2, to the Release 5 Message Queue installation location.

    You need to perform this step only if you wish to preserve any Message Queue broker data from Release 4.

  5. (Optional) Uninstall Release 4 Message Queue.


    Note –

    Uninstall of Release 4 Message Queue is optional because Java ES versions 4 and 5 can coexist on a system.
