Migrating and coexisting

Migrating involves copying the configuration from a previous release of a WebSphere Application Server product into a new release. Coexisting involves running a new release of a WebSphere Application Server product on the same machine at the same time as you run an earlier release or running two installations of the same release of a WebSphere Application Server product on the same machine at the same time.

About this task

If you have a previous version, you must plan whether to migrate the configuration and applications of the previous version to the new version. Migration does not uninstall the previous version. The earlier release is still functional. If you run the earlier release at the same time as the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 6.0.x installation, the two versions are coexisting. The migration articles describe migration from WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 5.x to WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Version 6.0.x.

You can also find more information on migrating to Version 6.0.x in the following document: Migrating from WebSphere for z/OS Version 5.x to Version 6 - An Example Migration.

Procedure

  1. Prepare to migrate or update product prerequisites and corequisites to supported versions.

    Refer to the IBM WebSphere Application Server supported hardware, software, and APIs site for current requirements.

  2. Install the Version 6.0.x product.
  3. Use the Migration tools to migrate your configuration.

What to do next

You can coexist with or migrate from a previous version of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS.

For information on migrating to Version 6.0.x, see Migrating product configurations. For more information on coexistence among releases, see Coexistence support.
