A focused compilation of links to documents and resources
to help you plan and perform your migration to IBM® WebSphere® Application
Server. |

The primary purpose of this material is to provide information required
to plan and execute a successful migration between different versions of
WebSphere Application Server. The goal is to provide a central set of
information and references to enable customers of WebSphere Application
Server to do this migration themselves without requiring assistance. There
has been significant improvement over time in the area of WebSphere
Application Server migration, but there are still some technical aspects
involved in any migration scenario. These technical aspects can be
addressed easier, and with reduced risk, if understood and addressed
early. The overall process will always need careful planning and execution
no matter how trivial the technical aspects might become for compatibility
of applications themselves.
There are different migration scenarios. Migration scenarios are defined
based on what combination of WebSphere Application Server versions are
being migrated. There are different factors to consider based on what the
"from" and "to" versions are that are being migrated. Each migration
scenario is unique.
