To make the broker backup portable to any OS.

We need to migrate WebSphere Message broker from Sun/Solaris servers to zLinux servers and having problem to restore broker
due to the current mqsibackupbroker output can only be restored to the same OS level. We have many many bar files from different application developers who kept workspaces on their own files in different toolkit servers which made this migration efforts difficult.

Can this enhancement possible to restore the broker backup between different OS level and with different Broker name and MQ Manager name ?

Thanks.

    Robert,  This RFE was opened against the incorrect product.  We have closed this RFE and opened a new RFE against WebSphere Message Broker.
    The WebSphere Message Broker team will evaluate your request and update the new RFE entry.

    For future reference when creating an RFE request for WebSphere Message Broker select these options:

    Product Family:  Connectivity and Integration
    Product: WebSphere Message Broker
    Component:  Broker

    Here is the link to the new RFE for WebSphere Message Broker:

    Thank you.
