Version 6 migration always works by migrating an earlier supported version of WebSphere Application Server to a Version 6 profile.
Before you begin
Before using the Migration wizard, you must have access to the existing, previous version of WebSphere Application Server, and you must also have a valid Version 6 profile.
The Express product creates a valid Version 6 profile for a stand-alone Application Server during installation.
Why and when to perform this task
The Migration wizard is new as of Version 6. The wizard is the graphical interface to the Version 6 migration tools, the WASPreUpgrade command and the WASPostUpgrade command, which are command line tools. This topic describes how to use the Migration wizard to preform migrations to V6.
Steps for this task (dependent on configuration)
