How do I migrate, coexist, and interoperate?

Use the documentation provided to answer your questions about migration, coexistence, and interoperability.

Follow these shortcuts to get started quickly with popular tasks.

Find out about supported migration paths, migration tools, the goals  of migration and coexistence, and more.Obtain an overview of migration and coexistence options

Learn what changes during migration, which involves migrating a single  instance to another single instance (profile) on the same machine or a separate  machine.Determine what configuration information needs to change

Become acquainted with the tools that the product provides for automated migration.Locate the migration tools

Migrate the configurations used by the application server to communicate  with supported Web servers.Migrate Web server configurations

Review a summary of deprecated features in Version 6.0.x. As they become  available, links to additional information are provided to help you migrate  away from deprecated features.Identify deprecated features that you might be using

Learn which product configurations are supported. Specification levels  are included.Review the software and hardware prerequisites

Use this section as a starting point to investigate the technologies  used in and by applications that you deploy on the application server.Learn about WebSphere applications

All combinations of Version 4.0.x products, Version 5.x products, and Version 6.0.x products can coexist so long as there are no port conflicts.  There are some coexistence limitations for Version 5.x products that have  the embedded messaging feature installed as described in the documentation.Review supported coexistence scenarios

Version 6.0.x autonomically detects free ports among profiles installed from the same core product files.  The port mechanism does not detect ports in use by previous versions or by  other products. You must verify that you are using ports that do not conflict  with other products and programs running on your node. Select  free ports on the ports selection panel of the Profile creation wizard.Obtain valid port settings for coexistence

WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.x is generally interoperable with some previous versions. However, there are specific requirements to address for each version. Certain changes are required to support interoperability etween versions.Interoperate across product versions
