Run a migration on application client installations

 Step 15 towards the goal: Scenario 2: Migrating cells across operating systems using the command-line tools

About this task

Migrate client resources to Version 7.0 level resources. If the source WebSphere® Application client is Version 6.1, you also must run the WASPreUpgrade and WASPostUpgrade commands to migrate the existing security settings.
Avoid trouble: The clientUpgrade command is not supported for cross operating system migrations. This step applies to WebSphere® Application client host machines only. On any of your client host machines, you must run the same host migration.gotcha

Migrate plug-ins for web servers

Procedure

  1. Identify all client hosts that you must migrate.
  2. Install the WebSphere® Version 7.0 Application client.
  3. Run the clientUpgrade command on your application client enterprise archive (EAR) files.
  4. Run the Version 7.0 WASPreUpgrade command to save the Application client security settings to a migration backup directory. For example:
    /opt/AppClientV7/bin/WASPreUpgrade.sh /mybackup_client/v61clientTov7 /opt/AppClientV61
  5. Run the Version 7 WASPostUpgrade command to restore the Application client security settings to the new Version 7 client. For example:
    /opt/AppClientV7/bin/WASPostUpgrade.sh /mybackup_client/v6clientToV7
