copying qman$master.dat to another node

[Steven_101]

I need to copy the queues from 1 system to another. Below are the steps I used

$ convert/share qman$master.dat qman$master.steve
$ copy qman$master.steve xxx::sys$common:[sysexe]

On node xxx

$ stop/que/manager/cluster
$ sho que
%JBC-E-JOBQUEDIS, system job queue manager is not running
$ rename qman$master.steve qman$master.dat;10
$ start/que/manager
%JBC-E-QMANNOTSTARTED, queue manager could not be started

Oh 1 other thing, one system is a VAX and the other is an Alpha

[Steven Schweda]

Can you do that?

Any OPCOM messages? ("REPLY /ENABLE".)

[Jess Goodman]

You might be better served by finding a copy of DISPLAY_QUEUE.COM which users F$GETQUI to create a set of INITIALIZE /QUEUE commands that will recreate your current queue configuration.

Steven,

You need to redefine which node(s) are to run the queue manager. The QMAN$MASTER contains the old node.

$ start/queue/manager/on=(node1,node2,...)

Tried $ start/queue/manager/on=(node1,node2,...)


still wouldn't start

As Steven wrote enable opcom or search the operator log and try adding the location of the files.

On the new node execute ...

$start/que/manager/on=* sys$common:[sysexe]

Steven,

I don't think this is an supported operation !

Please try to also move the SYS$QUEUE_MANAGER.QMAN$QUEUES file.

I copied the 3 files with backup/ign=int and started the queue manager with the copy.
It works but when I do sh que/all I get "no such queue". When I edit the db I can see the queue names !

Same result when I stop the queue manager on the origin node.
