MQ MFT configuration and MFT resource monitor move to new server same OS

Question

MQ Manager MQ 7.5 on Linux

Are the MQ MFT resource monitor (fteCreateMonitor) definitions contained in the MQ Queue Manager queue definitions (like fte.xxxx) ?

If so, can I simply use the command

dmpmqcfg -m QMA -a > /mq/backups/QMA.mqsc

and restore the configuration on a queue manager with the same name and IP/Hostname (clone) and the resource monitors will be recreated without further effort?

Answer 1

My suggestion would be to use

1) fteListMonitors command to export task definition to a xml file.

2) Use that xml file with fteCreateMonitor command to recreate the resource monitor on another queue manager.

For example: Export the resource task definition on machine 1.

fteListMonitors -ma SRC -mn QMON -ox c:\temp\qmon.xml

Take the qmon.xml file to machine 2 and run the following command

fteCreateMonitor -ix C:\temp\qmon.xml -ma SRC -mn QMON
