You can migrate your product configurations
using the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.x Migration wizard or the
command-line migration tools.
You can migrate your
product configurations using the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.x
command-line migration tools.
Use this article as a
starting point for the planning information, information on creating your
migration jobs, as well as specific migration explanations for standalone
application server nodes, deployment managers, and federated nodes.
Before using the migration tools, consult the WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.x Release Notes document 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.
The Migration wizard calls the WASPreUpgrade and WASPostUpgrade commands.
The WASPreUpgrade command saves the configuration and applications of the previously installed version of WebSphere Application Server into a migration-specific backup directory. The WASPostUpgrade command uses the backupConfig command to save the existing Version 6.1.x configuration before performing migration, and the results are stored in the profile_name/temp directory. You can use the restoreConfig command to restore the backup if required.
For help in troubleshooting problems when migrating, see Troubleshooting migration.
