Knowledge Collection: Migrating WebSphere Application Server
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
The primary purpose of this material is to provide the information required to plan and execute a successful migration between different versions of IBM WebSphere Application Server. The goal is to provide a central set of information and references to enable customers of WebSphere Application Server to complete 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.

We would like to bring to your attention to the following important information. WebSphere Application Server Version 5.0 has reached End of Support, and Version 5.1 will reach End of Support on 26 September 2008.

This technote is meant to assist you in planning and implementing an upgrade to the most current version of WebSphere Application Server.
