Bill, I probably should have explained a little further....
Cluster queue managers communicate using the UUID to uniquely identify specific queue managers. If you were to simply delete the old queue manager and recreate the new one they will have different UUIDs and therefore cluster communications will become problematic. I know there have been some fixes in this area to allow for better handling of this situation, but personally I wouldn't take the chance. If I was trying to replace a cluster queue manager with another of the same name I would always completely remove the queue manager before introducing it's replacement.

When the process is complete there will not be duplicate names. The current production system will be replaced with a new production system with the same name. The only difference is connection name. Thanks Bill C. -----Original Message----- From: John M Hammond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 24, 2002 4:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Clustering and changing qmgrs. Bill, If I were you I would remove the first queue manager from the cluster by following the instructions in the "Queue Manager Clusters" manual. I would then check a few of my non-repository queue managers and make sure the queue manager has disappeared from them. Only when I was sure the original had gone would I add the new one. This is assuming you currently have two (or more) repositories. Trying to have the two with the same name going at the same time is only going to cause you headaches. Good luck!

Can I just suspend/resume the qmgr and change the connection name in the production environment to match the new environment? Or should I completely delete the current qmgr, channel defs. etc, and then add the new qmgr from scratch? Thanks Bill C.
