Before you begin
Note: The migration wizard cannot run in a non-graphical
environment. Examples of non-graphical environments include the i5/OS® platform or telnet sessions.
If you want to run migration in a non-graphical environment, use the WBIPreUpgrade and WBIPostUpgrade commands.
Note: The migration wizard supports only WebSphere ESB profiles.
If you have WebSphere Application Server profiles,
you must use the migration commands.
Make sure that the following conditions are met before
you start the migration process:
- Ensure that your system meets all hardware and software requirements
for installing WebSphere ESB version 6.2, and
that you have enough space (including temporary space) for your installation.
See http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27006912 for more information.
- If you are migrating on the same physical computer system on which
the older version of WebSphere ESB resides,
you have installed the new version of WebSphere ESB side-by-side
the old version on the same system.
- The profile in the older WebSphere ESB which
you are migrating is stand-alone (not federated to a cell).
- Sufficient disk space is available for the migrated profile and
its backup. See Premigration considerations for WebSphere ESB for disk space
requirements.
Make sure that you have completed the following tasks before
you start the migration process:
- Back up the databases that support version 6.0.2.x or version 6.1.x WebSphere ESB components.
What to do next
Verify that the migration has been successful.
