[Version 5.0.2 and later]Migrating

Migrating is an activity in which you take advantage of existing materials. Migration tasks and tools help you upgrade the product and its prerequisites, reuse existing application components when feasible, and transfer administrative configurations from your past version to a current one.

Migration of WebSphere Application Server products is about leveraging the existing environment and applications and changing them to be compatible with the current product version.

The installation program can migrate your production server configuration and applications from a previous release of WebSphere Application Server - Express. If a previous version is detected, you are given the option of migrating or not.

For information about migration, refer to the WebSphere Application Server - Express 5.1.1 Migration Guide, which is located in:

Migration Redbook
