Upgrading to WebSphere MQ Adapter 6.5
You cannot upgrade to WebSphere MQ Adapter 6.5 from pre-6.0 WebSphere MQ Adapters or from MQSeries adapters 2.0, 2.1, or 3.0.
You can upgrade to WebSphere MQ Adapter 6.5 from WebSphere MQ Adapter 6.0 or 6.0 SP1. You can use WebSphere MQ Adapter 6.5 to run or edit services and listeners you generated using WebSphere MQ Adapter 6.0 or 6.0 SP1.
The method you use to upgrade depends on whether you want to make a copy of the existing adapter package. Making a copy enables you to revert to the earlier adapter package later if necessary.
If you do not want to make a copy of the existing adapter package, uninstall the existing adapter using instructions in the adapter's installation guide. Then install
WebSphere MQ Adapter 6.5 using the instructions in
