Upgrading from Old Broker to New Broker

For most type of the upgrade, the tasks you perform depend on whether the new machine is the same as or compatible with the old machine, where the word compatible means the new machine has a similar hardware architecture that is running on the same or a higher version of the same operating system.

Type of Upgrade	Instructions
9.6 and higher upgrade: The old Broker resides on its own machine, and you are going to continue using it with the new webMethods release.	Point 10.5 Broker clients, including Integration Server or Microservices Runtime 10.5, to the old Broker.
9.5 upgrade: You installed the new Broker on an IBM System z machine that is running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server or Red Hat Enterprise Linux.	Create new storage and then migrate the Broker Server configuration from the old storage to the new storage using the Broker export\import utilities. For instructions, see Administering webMethods Broker 10.5.
You installed the new Broker on a machine that is not compatible with the old machine.	Create new storage and then migrate the Broker Server configuration from the old storage to the new storage using the Broker export\import utilities. For instructions, see Administering webMethods Broker 10.5.
You installed the new Broker on the same machine as the old Broker, or on a machine that is compatible with the old machine.	Follow the instructions in Create a Broker Server and Use the Old Storage, below.
