# Using the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard to schedule certificate migration

This section describes the use of the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard which can schedule the migration of your certificate stores and also prompts you to alter other system features for WebSphere® MQ Version 7.0 SSL.

The Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard has two functions in relation to SSL certificate migration:

- It offers to schedule the migration for all certificate stores checked by the Check WebSphere MQ Certificate Stores Wizard during Step 1: Ensuring WebSphere MQ certificate stores contain complete certificate chains
- It also prompts you to check that Step 3: Ensuring Certificate Revocation Lists are in the correct format and Step 4: Ensuring SSLPEER values have correctly ordered OU entries have been completed correctly.

The Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard is automatically launched at the end of the installation of WebSphere MQ Version 7.0, and can also be launched from the Start Menu.

After starting the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard, follow the instructions on each of the panels to schedule the migration or to check that the scheduling of the migration of the certificates has been successful.

Note: The Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard only offers the certificate stores checked by the Check WebSphere MQ Certificate Stores Wizard. Certificate chains checked manually using AMQCCERT are not presented for selection in the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard.
