Migrating product configurations

Use the migration tools to migrate WebSphere Application Server product configurations.

Before you begin

Before using the migration tools, consult the Version 6.0 release notes to understand what fixes you must apply to earlier versions. Applying fixes to an earlier version might also apply fixes to files that have a role in the migration. Apply any fixes to ensure the most effective migration of configurations and applications possible.
Restriction: If you want to migrate to create a mixed cell containing Version 5.x nodes and you intend to apply maintenance to the Version 5.x nodes after the migration, your Version 6.0.x environment must be at level 6.0.2.7 or higher before starting the migration process. If you have a lower level of Version 6.0.x when you migrate, the repository and template directories will be removed from the Version 5.x nodes during the process of synchronizing with the cell's Version 6.0.x deployment manager and you will no longer be able to apply maintenance to the Version 5.x nodes.

The migration utilities in WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 6.0.x support migration from Version 5.x. Use this article as a starting point for the planning information, Customization Dialog walk-throughs, and Version 5.x to Version 6.0.x migration explanations for standalone application server nodes, deployment managers, and federated nodes.

Procedure

  1. Migrate a standalone application server node to WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.x.

    See Standalone application server node migrations for more information.

  2. Migrate a deployment manager to WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.x.

    See Network Deployment migrations for more information.

  3. Migrate a federated node to WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.x.

    See Managed (federated) node migrations for more information.

Results

You can use the migration tools to migrate from one version of WebSphere Application Server to another.
