Install the message migration utility

How to install the WAS message migration utility, including the steps that are necessary before the installation. Before you install the message migration utility ensure that we have backed up your embedded messaging queues on WAS v5.1. For details of backing up queues refer to the WebSphere MQ System Administration Guide. This guide applies to backing up WebSphere MQ queues but can be used to back up your embedded messaging queues.

If you back up a WAS v5.1 queue before migration and then reinstate the whole queue and start migrating the same queue again, you will get two copies of the messages in the version you migrated to. To install and start the message migration utility, use the admin console to complete the following steps.
